Delhi Ganesh, a great supporting actor, is no more
Though he had acted with other actors and in a lot of films, Ganesh used to say that his roles in Kamal Haasan starrers earned him a name
Delhi Ganesh had a malleability that suffused every role he portrayed in the movies. The thespian (8, who passed away late on Saturday (November 9, 2024) night, was the quintessential character artiste, offering warmth and trust, laughter, and the odd tear, and was a vital cog in the Tamil film industry.

Having been a part of a drama troupe in Delhi besides a stint in the Indian Air Force, Ganesh preferred the stage and celluloid. K. Balachander, the great director who groomed both Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, added the moniker Delhi to Ganesh; the name stuck, and a great actor had found his moorings in the same stable that nursed the versatile Nagesh.
