Hey by the way do you remember the vivek comedy scene i think its in a prabhudeva movie where vivek will be a 'doctor/politician son' and he will take a sri lankan tamil to a slum to give a speech and no one wud understand his pure tamil and one of the slum guy will translate sentence-by-sentence in chennai slum?

Sampler:

Sri Lankan:"Ungalai santhipathil peru magilchi adaigiren"

Slum Translator:"Nambala meet panrathu gujaala keethu"
