Actor and mimicry artist TSK has been earning appreciation for recreating the voices of legendary stars even after becoming a full-time actor. His talent has been heard in several films, but one particular moment has now become a talking point among Tamil cinema fans. TSK recently opened up about lending his voice for M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) in Vijay's ' Jana Nayagan ' and explained why the opportunity remains one of the biggest milestones of his career.

TSK reveals how he became the voice of MGR in 'Jana Nayagan'Speaking about the experience with Cinema Vikatan , TSK said, "After the audio launch of Vaa Vaathiyaar, where I performed in MGR's voice, my name was recommended when the team was looking for someone to recreate his voice. I later dubbed for an important scene in that film with Karthi sir. Once they came to know that I had done it, I was invited to dub for an MGR scene in 'Jana Nayagan' as well." He added that he did not expect the scene to receive such a huge response. "Only after watching the film in theatres did I realise how powerful the words 'Thangame Thalapathy' had become. After I shared it on Instagram, many people told me they thought it was an AI-generated voice and were surprised to know it was actually me," he recalled.
