[b] Chiranjeevi: In keeping with the tradition of Rajinikanth and Mohanlal, Chiranjeevi started out as an anti-hero. His stylized performances gradually earned him not just the lead roles but also superstardom. By the mid-Eighties, Chiranjeevi's fan following was legion. He churned out blockbuster after blockbuster, many of them action movies. He was hailed as the man who put act into action. He also appeared in the Bollywood films [i]Pratibandh[/i] and [i]Aaj Ka Goonda Raj[/i]. Chiranjeevi forged a political career with his own party [i]Praja Rajyam[/i] which he later merged with the Congress.[/b]

[b] Rajkumar: Kannada star Dr Rajkumar began acting at the age of eight and starred in over 220 films. Winner of two National Film awards for Best Actor, his popularity was unmatched while he was active in movies. Unlike most other South Indian stars, he never appeared in films in any other language but Kannada, though some of him movie were dubbed into Telugu. Also unlike other actors, he turned down many offers of a political career. However, he was able to influence the political climate of his time without actually being involved in politics himself, and is credited with promoting and protecting the Kannada language. Dr Rajkumar was also known as a singer of talent. At 72, he was kidnapped by smuggler Veerappan, throwing the state government into a 108-day crisis. He was finally released unharmed. He died of a heart attack in 2006.[/b]

[b] Sivaji Ganesan: In the Tamil lexicon, Sivaji Ganesan is legendary. The first ever Indian star to win a Best Actor award at an international film festival, Sivaji Ganesan is cited by many South Indian actors as their biggest influence. He played a variety of roles, from villain to hero, and was beloved for his portrayal of mythological characters. Many of his films were remade in other languages. Navarathiri, in which he played nine different roles, was remade in Bollywood as [i]Naya Din Nayi Raat[/i] starring Sanjeev Kumar. He played a supporting character in Dharti, starring Rajendra Kumar, which was a remake of his own film Sivandha Mann. Sivaji Ganesan also had a surprisingly unsuccessful stint in politics, serving with the Congress and Janata Dal. He died in 2001 after having suffered from heart illness for years.[/b]

[b] Shah Rukh Khan: When young SRK, fresh from the success of TV's [i]Fauji[/i] and [i]Circus[/i], burst upon Bollywood, he could have taken the tried and tested route of heartthrob roles in masala movies. He didn't. Between playing the loverboy in first film [i]Deewana[/i] and 16th film [i]Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge[/i], SRK played a vengeful murder in Baazigar, a psychotic stalker in Darr, the younger lover of a mysterious older woman in [i]Maya Memsaab[/i] and the cheerful loser who doesn't get the girl in [i]Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa[/i]. Since then, SRK has punctuated his blockbuster roles in love stories and family dramas with portrayals of a weak-willed drunkard in [i]Devdas[/i], an NRI returning to an Indian village in [i]Swades[/i], a hockey coach in [i]Chak De! India[/i] and an autistic Muslim man in [i]My Name Is Khan[/i].[/b]
