Nambiarswami

Few actors in Tamil cinema have been as loved as M.N. Nambiar. Admired for his intense acting prowess particularly his portrayals of villains he was also revered as a guruswami (spiritual leader). Nambiarswami provides an in-depth look into his public persona and personal life which he fastidiously kept separate from one another. From growing up in Ooty and joining the gritty world of travelling drama troupes to achieving stellar success in the Tamil film industry this book takes the reader on an engaging journey narrated by the man himself as told to his grandson Dipak Nambiar.

The foreword by J. Jayalalithaa and stirring anecdotes from his family and industry friends make this book a fascinating portrait of the great actor who was equally adept in his roles as a hero and a villain and widely respected as a spiritual man.
