He is one actor i guess who made us believe that villains can be calm and at times can think. Ratchagan not a good movie on the whole though impressed me for Raghuvaran's acting. Also he has done good character roles as well.
I think he's one of the few actors who had added a certain class to his characters. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the Tamil industry forced him into a stereotypical mould (with 'unnatural' idiosyncrasies). In spite of all that, he's done some really decent roles.
same da. i learnt abut it from bharath's blog. btw saw him on ktv 2 months back...he didn't look too good/healthy, slurred voice etc. He did quite well in RGV's first film Shiva. k
Growing up in Trichy and then Madras, Raghuvaran was one of the few actors that I actually liked/stood out/thought was sexy. And I loved his deep voice!
I don't know what makes me sadder - the fact that he died or the fact that I'm so out of the desi Tamil loop that I just found out about it through your blog completely accidentally!
Btw, am a fan of your cooking videos - great stuff! As for rude comments on Youtube, dare i suggest that they're not worth getting mad about? The level of logical reasoning/smarts isn't at its highest in that space - after all, we go there for the videos, not the comments. Keep on with the recipe shows!
Yeah, he had a reasonably unpretentious personality. Answered questions directly (if we have to talk about his 'real life' interviews, that is). Seemed like a warm guy overall.
K,
Yeah, annatha was huge on booze and smoke (he had been, for a long time). It had to take its toll someday.
Sandhya,
Yeah, I found it accidentally too (I was at kumudam.com to view an old interview and saw this in the headlines).
Youtube: true, the comments aren't the most intelligent you'll find. But they give a shared sense of humour (or similar emotion) -- it's almost like watching it with an audience. It's been a long time since I posted anything new. Thanks, anyway. ;)
Suresh, Trying to strike a familiar chord: Raghuvaran is the Dhoni of Tamil cinema - he gets the job done, but is quite clumsy. Except for his performance in 'Anjali' one couldn't distinguish his roles.

really a good actor .. hope so film industry and the fans will miss him ...
I had the same exact reaction, when, I read it about it on a blog.
I think, I felt bad too. Consciously or not, I think there was some attachment to Raghuvaran as an actor.
Impressive performances in movies like Anjali, Bhadshaa, Puriyadha Pudhir.
49 is just no age to die.
