The game of accent & dictation!
As an ardent movie watcher, I’ve always noticed that actors who can maintain a neutral accent or really good at switching accents always have a better chance of sustenance in the industry.
When I compared two actors like Vimal and VJS who started doing lead roles at the same time frame, apart from the acting skills, I found that though Vimal could really deliver wonderful performance in certain village based roles, he terribly suffered trying to be a urban youth. On the other hand, VJS played brilliantly in both Thenmerku Paruva Kaatru and Pizza with two distinct accents and looks.
I feel that actors who could get a hold of their accents are really the masters of disguise. The OG Kamal Hassan is the PRO in switching accents and in recent times, I can see Dhanush doing that effortlessly.
Let me know if you think of any other actors who are really good at accents or dictation.
