LOL! take that as a compliment... what else can I say?
Agree with tt-giant,
a) you look like a hero
b) you do not have a tummy.
would that pakistani guy meet me?
heh, yeah. good one. show him a pic of dhanush.
Deepak, compliment for me is OK.. but for our beloved heroes... :-( ?

Sanjay, only b) is correct.. come on yaar,. dont pull me..
If you visit my lab, yes.. i will intro u to him.. And, u might find a difference in me :-) Substract 10 lbs from the guy u met last..

Nitin, I guess he has watched Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Mohanlal, Mammootty, Ajith (pre-2006), our captain and Prabhu..
Raju-
LoLed at this one, if the heroes are said to have tummies, then what would he have thought about many of our heroines. I guess having a huge tummy is what makes a south indian stand out apart from his accent, mush etc.
guess he hasn't seen any thalaivar movies!
Mitr, yeah.. true about heroines.. In Tamilnadu, skinny heroines hardly survive.. (Simran was an exception)... 'Konjam pushtiyaa irundhathaan thamizh makkal ethukkuvanga".. this is bcos most men and women have tummies.. The society is reflected in the movies...

Balaji, unga thalaivar indha vishayathuley unbeatable.. enga thalaivar avarkitte irundhu kathukkavendiyathu idhuley niraiya irukku...

Nag, yeah... true.. Kamal had a great body till mid 80's.. He put some weight for the movie 'Sathya'... since then, he never looked the Kamal of old..
:)
fyi: Mammooty is 55+ years old...he looks fantastic for that age. with or with out tummy!!
Vijay, mm.. I havent seen Mammootty recently.. but I think you would agree that he is not your 'typical hero' material.. He is a great actor..no doubt but even 10-15 years ago he had a waistline..
