Film career
Though he started as a hero, Nambiar soon started donning the role of a villain&#;— so much so that today his name is synonymous with villainy in Kollywood.
Nambiar has worked with seven generations of actors. His first pay was Rs.3 with Boys Company. He would retain Rs.1 and send Rs.2 to his mother. A man of very limited needs, he has never eaten food not cooked by his wife, Rugmini Nambiar.
He made quite a statement in the early 50s with his portrayal of 11 roles in Digambara Samiyar, one of his films as the Lead.
His arresting performance in films such as Manthiri Kumari, Velaikaari, Ayirathil Oruvan, Thillana Mohanambal, Missiyamma and Nenjam Marappadillai paved way for a very successful career that spanned over five decades.[6]
A majority of the more than films that he has done is in Tamil, though he has acted in Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi, besides an English film 'The Jungle' (with Rod Cameron, the film's hero, directed by William Burke) in which he appears in a few brief scenes.
The film was released in The Hindi film he acted in was a remake of the Tamil Kanavane Kankanda Deivam. After becoming popular in Tamil films he started his own drama troupe called Nambiar Nataka Mandram. They staged two plays&#;— 'Kaviyin Kanavu' and a comedy play 'Kalyana Supermarket.'

He was also a pure vegetarian and teetotaler. He was also an ardent devotee of Sabarimala Sri Ayyappan. He has had a long association with the temple, and visited the shrine more than 65 times over the last half a century; this has led to him being called Maha Guruswamy. His colleagues noted that he died during the famous Sabarimala season and it may be due to the blessing of his Lord.[7]
His favourite films remain 'Aayirathil Oruvan' with MGR, 'Ambikapathi' with Sivaji Ganesan, 'Missiyamma' with Gemini Ganesan, 'Nenjam Marappathillai' directed by Sridhar and 'Thooral Ninu Pochu' with Bhagyaraj.
This was the film that made him do character roles, something that he continued to do till his death.
He also acted as hero in two films 'Kalyani' and 'Kavitha' produced by Modern Theaters. He has done stage, films and also acted on TV dramas like 'Oviyam' and Velan. When it comes to acting, he supposedly likes all the actors; but of special mention are M. R. Radha and Savitri. Both, in his opinion, were brilliant in their own way.
