The year was 2000. And Karthi, the younger son of Sivakumar, was leaving for the United States to pursue higher studies. When he was about to start from the house, his dotting dad gifted him a ‘precious thing’- a book on MGR.

This was revealed by Sivakumar himself at a recent music concert in Chennai, which was organised by a Tamil monthly and a popular music troupe to commemorate the 93rd birth anniversary of the former Chief Minister. “I gifted Karthi a book on MGR because the Makkal Thilakam was an example to all. Everyone should follow the way the matinee idol led his life in a simple way despite all the power, fame and wealth he had,” Sivakumar said.

Heaping more laurels on MGR, Sivakumar said, “I had acted with him in two films- ‘Kavalkaran’ and ‘Idhayaveenai’. I learnt a lot from him during the shooting of those movies. I wanted Karthi too to follow the footsteps of the Puratchi Thailaivar.”

Going down the memory lane, the actor said, “MGR helped the needy a lot even at the time when he was a struggling actor. He never bothered about being hungry. All that he wanted was others should eat well.

Thamanna replaced Anushka in Karthi film 2010

Actress Anushka sizzled with her uttermost skin show in Telugu version of ‘Vikramakudu’ and she was supposed to star opposite Karthi in Tamil remake as well. On the spur of moment, she was replaced by Thamannah as Karthi had recommended her intensely.
As known earlier, the film is produced by Karthi’s uncle K.E. Gnyanavel Rajan under the banner name of Studio Green Films. It seems that Karthi had developed a great relationship with Thamannah in during the shooting of ‘Paiyaa’.
The film started rolling before few months and is now fast on the heels of completing first schedule. Debutant Siva has handled story, screenplay, dialogues and direction with Santhanam taking on the role of Brahmanandam.www.charmingindians.blogspot.com news, kollywood, movies,

Lingusamy’s expect 100% gain 200% on Paiyaa020100

The director of  Paiyaa, Lingusamy is basking in glory over the astounding success of the film. The proud director says that he expected 100 percent success but he was baffled by the 200 percent success!
Lingusamy says that he wanted to make a film that will bring the audiences that liked Run and Anandam, though both these films belonged to different genres. And the outcome is Paiyaa for all to see.
He also adds that it is interesting to note that Paiyaa’s collection will surpass that of Sivaji, Dasavatharam and Vettaikaran in different capacities.
According to the director, the audiences were eager to see a decent and stylish film in theatres rather than dirt and filth. This is the reason Paiyaa was made, he adds.

Dhayanidhi Alagiri, Karthi, Lingusamy,

If you are planning to have a blast this weekend, you can reserve ‘Paiyaa’ tickets from this morning, for plans for the Lingusamy’s film will be open at cinema halls all over Tamil Nadu from today.

A whopping number of 18 theatres will release the Karthi-Tamannah starrer this Friday in Chennai alone. Remember we are talking about cinema halls in mainland and not about those in the suburbs.

Interestingly, Mayajal will screen 40 shows a day, a first-of-its kind patronage for a film starring an up and coming actor like Karthi in the lead. All other theatres will have extra shows in the releasing weekend, and at least four shows a day after that.

“This shows the expectations the movie has created. It’s all because of two persons- Lingusamy the director and Dhayanidhi Alagiri, who had acquired the release rights of the movie,” says a source in the distribution business.
