Because he is a phoenix. Because the fresh-faced boy we saw three decades ago as a college kid still warms our hearts as a college kid with a conscience. Because films by his production house don't think of profit as the bottomline. Because he can make multiplex India see films on farmer suicides and washermen, things they wouldn't touch with a bargepole.
Because he stands up to his convictions. Because he is India's most popular actor. Because his Lagaan is the only Indian commercial film that has been nominated for an Oscar. Because no two roles he has played have been similar.
