Nataraj, on his five all-time favourite films

Actor Nataraj, who rose to fame with the critically acclaimed movie Rama Rama Re, was last seen on the silver screen in the movie Kalbaettada Darodekoraru, directed by Deepakh Maduvanahalli. On #QuickTakesWithBangaloreTimes, he lists out his all-time favourite films....

Babruvahana

It feels like the story of Babruvahana happened on our own soil. Dr Rajkumar’s acting in

dual roles

is simply outstanding. The way he handles both roles which are very contrasting shows how versatile an actor he is. The movie directed by Hunsur Krishnamurthy, has been beautifully captured.

Modern Times
I am a huge fan of Charlie Chaplin. I grew up watching his films from my childhood days. He inspired me to become an actor. A couple of my favourites are The Great Dictator and The Kid. His movies had comic elements which were mixed with

human values

has influenced me a lot.

Cast Away
It is an American survival drama beautifully portrayed on the silver screen. I was blown away by the performance of Tom Hanks. It is challenging to play such a role.

Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu
The movie directed by Siddalingaiah has many heart touching scenes. Legendary actors Vishnuvardhan and Loknath's performances are a treat to watch. The flood sequences and human relationships are neatly shown in the movie.

Ram Ram Re
I need to pick my own film for the fifth slot. To get into the skin of the character itself was challenging, even after the movie got released, it took many days for me to come out of the character.
