Explanation

M. G. Ramachandran (MGR) worked as a side artist and character actor for approximately 12 years (1940s-1950s) before becoming a leading hero in Tamil cinema. He started in small roles, villain roles, and supporting parts before his transition to lead actor status. The other options (Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan, Jai Shankar) either started as leads or didn't have such extended side-artist periods before hero status.
