A
grand gala function organized by
the film fraternity to convey their
heartfelt gratitude to the Chief
Minister of Tamil Nadu Mr. M Karunanidhi
for granting land for housing proposal
for film industry workers witnessed
a sparkler of sorts from Ajith Kumar
who is known for his politically
incorrect but honest statements.
Ajith, who is known for his nonappearance
in such events, made a rare entry
yesterday at a glittering ceremony
at Nehru Stadium in Chennai. He
made a frank appeal to the CM that
film fraternity should not be arm
twisted to attend such political
and social events. He said, “They
want us to attend such events and
at the same time are against us
joining politics.”
Speaking at the event, Rajini
said that the CM is offering land
and housing facilities for those
who cannot afford it. He appealed
to all the film personalities not
to apply for a house in the allotted
land if they can afford it elsewhere.
While the CM spoke, he said that
he was against mixing politics with
the art world. The other luminaries
like Amitabh Bachchan, Bharathi
Raja, VC Guhanathan, and Sarathkumar
stated that they were participating
in the function out of their own
will and were not forced. The event
was attended by most of the bigwigs
in the industry like Kamal, Rajni,
Ilayaraja, Vairamuthu and others.
The function also witnessed various
cultural events organized by the
film and television artists.
