with Kannagi statue |
|
| |
We had earlier mentioned that
Chief Minister Karunanidi is
going to be felicitated in a
spectacular function on September
23rd at the Nehru Indoor stadium,
Chennai. This event is essentially
to express the gratitude of
Kollywood to CM who has brought
in a lot of goodies to the filmdom
after he took the reins. This
event is expected to be a mega
one in bringing all the fields
of Kollywood under one platform
CM’s assistance to Kollywood
includes waiving entertainment
taxes for the films with Tamil
titles, reducing outdoor shooting
rates, installing the statue
of the legendary Sivaji Ganesan
and granting Rs 95 lakhs for
the making of Periyar. |

It
will not be an overstatement if we
say that he breathed life in to the
dying Kollywood. |

The unions, which have joined
hands in expressing their solidarity,
are the association for Directors,
Producers, Distributors, theatre
owners, Artists and PROs. Honourable
Governor of Maharashtra Shri
S.M.Krishna would be the chief
guest of the evening. The spectrum
of participants include the
entire Kollywood comprising
of actors, actresses, producers,
directors, music directors,
lyricists, dancers and singers.
Artistes who initially found
it uninteresting to participate
in this event have somehow agreed
finally in fear of being singled
out. |

Nehru
Stadium is sure to reverberate under
the effective supervision of choreographers
T.K.S.Babu and Dinesh.
Trivia
A special souvenir to earmark the
celebration would be released. During
the Press Meet, Ramanarayanan responded
in affirmation when doubts were raised
about extending invitation to the
former CM Jayalalitha. He also said
invitation to the function was extended
to one and all in a proper fashion.
But Sarath and Ajith will be conspicuous
by their absence. Sarath has reasons
for not participating as he belongs
to the opposite faction of the ruling
party. Ajith, by principle has always
preferred to stay out of any such
events. On behalf of the Nadigar Sangam,
Sripriya, Sathyaraj and Simbu are
overseeing the arrangements.
Highlight
Villain cum magician Alex is expected
to conduct a magic show on the stage
in which he reveals his magical prowess
by making Kannagi statue vanish and
reappear indicating the two regimes.
