I will forever have respect for this bus conductor!

Not just because in his age, he carries more style than me, but also for the sheer will force to still make movies and keep an entire industry alive.

I did not use to like him as much when I was a kid. I watched Chandramukhi, and thought he was good, then watched sivaji, and thought he is great, but when I saw Kabali, and then Petta - I slowly got the hype for him. It was nothing special. He just does simple things amazingly and that catches me.

In his latest one, He just washes his face with the alcohol he has after 30 years, and that little mannerisms he did felt worth my money.

But this tiny flashback scene and that one shot where he sits with the metal hook in hand, cigarette in other, was the thumbsup with an amazing Hyderabadi Dum Biryani to me.

I feel inspired watching this mann’s movies. Yeah, he is struggling to dance, even go to say deliver his best but he is doing so with such grace that I have to go watch him. Also sidenote, that Chikitu Vibe intro step was so good to watch him do it.

He will forever be that guy, whom I will aim to be in my old age, doing what I love, hopefully, learn some of that style.
