ctor Jiiva who was the Chief Guest of Loyola College Cultural Event spoke  as follows,

I am extremely happy to see a huge crowd after a long time.For the past few years there is no much crowd like this even in theatres.It is always a pleasure to be at Loyola college.I have been to loyola before long years back.

I came to Loyola during my First Film shoot.It was a great experience at that time.It was the time when Kaakha Kaakha was released.Its been nearly 17 years.

The college has a great infrastructure.I have played Cricket here in the college ground.This college Created lot of legends and successfull persons.Im extremely happy to be here as a guest where Suriya sir,Vijay sir,Udhayanidhi sir and Vishal sir studied.

I was awestruck when i saw Nasser sir here at the event.Im proud that i have worked with him.He showed path to me.He acted as my Father-in-law in my First movie.I was introduced to cinema as a Producer’s son only.He asked me”you came to acting just because you are a producer’s son? and Why did u came to Acting” I still now dont have the answer for that question.

Whatever field you choose,you need a guide and a guru.I got lot of guru’s in my life.In that way Nasser sir was my first Guru.To Share the stage with Nasser sir is a proud moment for me.Thank you sir for all your wonderful Teaching.

I have Acted as Engineering student in lot of films.Films like Neethanae En Ponvasantham,Nanban. I Acted in scenes like

“How Does A Induction Motot Starts” here.

I am always lucky to play roles like Engineer and doctor.But you guys are the luckiest because you are studying it for Four Years.You have lot of work and exams are there but the memories you make with your friends here will always be with you.

Always be Energetic and Motivate others.I have a few Quotes that i would like to share.I will share 2 of those.

“THERE IS NO COMPETITION,THAT IS VIEW AS A VIEW” This is the quote i follow in my life.

The other quote is “USE YOUR ENERGY TO CREATE  NOT TO DESTROY”. And Finally “STOP TRYING TO BE LIKED BY EVERYBODY,EVEN YOU DONT LIKE EVERYBODY”.

Though you have lot of money or things ,the thing which makes you as a person is your Skills.Those who have Good Skills can achieve anything.Thanks for all your love and support.Like Sachin sir used to say “MY BEST IS YET TO COME”.

I will surely Entertain you guys in my Upcoming Films.I Need all your Support.Thank you.

If you guys want to Come into Cinema,Study Courses related to it.

To Share this stage with Jiiva  feels like a father and son! -Actor Nasser at Loyola College Cultural Event.

I Thank Everyone who is responsible for this event to be successfull,because we all have been indoors for last 2 years.

And Today this Event is happening with Lot of happiness.

Loyola College and I have a deep Connection.All wish to study in Loyola College once they Finish their Schooling.But for that You have to Score Lot of Marks.So i didnt got that Oppurtunity.

Nowadays,VISCOM course is All over Tamilnadu but it was First started in Loyola College Only.

The meeting of Actors Association held here at Loyola College.I am not good  at speaking but once i start i keep on speaking.So i would like to answer your questions.you guys are already tired in this two days so i will answer your questions.

Question: You have been in cinema industry for last 37 years ,how you made it possible?

Whatever field you work,you can work until you choose to take rest.The Teachers here too will retire after 40 years only.I chose Acting as a job only.Still now i act like i am doing a job.

Lot of Students wish to enter  Cinema industry.Nowadays Cinema industry is much more Attractive than many other industry.When i came to cinema in 1984,there were no necessity of doing shortfilms or documentry films.

Because it is a big process and lot of investment is needed.Even if you have to take a picture,you have to convert if from negative film during that time.But nowadays it is not like that,you can shoot a movie in a low scale Camera itself.

There are two ways here,one  you can choose cinema field as a job or you can do it as a passion while you are working in your respective fields.you can make your own shortfilms and you can be successfull.

But if you come to cinema leaving everything,I like to Welcome you with Open Arms because Cinema requires lot of new talents and new thinking.

If you guys wish to enter cinema,study courses related to it.If i have a headache i cannot go to a lawyer and ask for medicine.i have to ask a Doctor only.So you study according to your career.

Question:Say about Your wife being your backbone!

My wife is looking after my office.she studied psychology but she left everything for me to take care of my office.and she is taking care of our childrens too.Even if i earn lot my wife is the one who manages everything.

I believe that if you give a work to a women they do it better than men.looking at lot of girl childrens here i firmly believe that our country will grow even more.womens wont have any distractions so they do their work with full effort.

Im talking about womens because last week i came back from chandigarh to chennai.The pilot of the flight that i came is a women.when i was crossing Vadapalani i saw a women riding an auto.she asked me “How are you sir?”. I felt very happy.

All the events are very good and the last three perfomances was really great.i can see how much effort and time would have took for the performance.

It is not about winning the prizes,it is about taking part in the event.the time u took for rehearsal is all that matters.lets enjoy the process.

I am happy to meet you all.we will surely meet next time in a event like this.lets all be safe and follow the rules by government.

I am happy to share the stage with actor Jiiva.He came to see me when his first film shoot is happening.he expected that i will wish him but i asked him “you thin you can come to acting because you are a producer’s son”?.he got shocked because of that question.

Then i gave him some advices.I asked him to study some books.He followed all the things i told.i am happy to see him as a big actor now.My best wishes to him.
