In countries like Canada or Singapore, 'Thalaimurai' is used to distinguish between first-generation immigrants and their locally-born children. Movies often feature 'generational' stars (e.g., the family of Sivaji Ganesan or Muthuraman), where the term 'Thalaimurai' is used to describe their legacy in the industry. The 'Thirukkural' mentions the importance of leaving a good name for one's descendants, emphasizing the continuity of 'Thalaimurai'.
