Fascinating incident in the history of Tamil cinema!
UNN @William Bond : MGR (M.G. Ramachandran), a legendary actor and politician, was approached to play the role of Jesus Christ in a film called “Yesunadar” (which translates to “Jesus” in Tamil). Yesunadar (JESUS CHRIST) a grand opening for the Movie was held then. MGR gave various poses as JESUS. A month or so, the film was dropped because MGR refused to act. The reasons what do you think will be? That MGR got a low deal or his call sheet problem?
NO!!!
When his story writer Ravindran asked MGR why did he turned down the offer, MGR said when he went to some villages he saw his still he posed as Jesus were used for worshiping. That he doesn’t like and that is the reason for turning down the offer.
God is kind to those who refuse to play God
