Indian Cinema centenary celebrations
The
four-day celebration (Sep 21-24) to mark the centenary of Indian cinema
jointly organised by the Tamil Nadu government and the South Indian
Film Chamber of Commerce, kicked off in style.
Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister Jayalalithaa who inaugurated the function said cinema remained
at the zenith of all achievements made by the human civilization.
Jayalalithaa
said that TN has been a land of growth for those who come here and
excel in cinema. Jayalalithaa added: 'It is because those who are
associated with the industry practise the virtue of live and let live.'
The Chief Minister elaborated: 'The Tamil film industry which
was in the clutches of a family has been functioning independently for
the last two years, under the AIADMK rule. Those who were trying to
monopolise the film industry fell due to their own attitude.'
Jayalalithaa
also distributed bioscopes as mementos to 59 people who had left a mark
in their respective fields in the industry. The recipients included
actors Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Sivakumar, Vivek, SS Rajendran, Saroja
Devi, Sowcar Janaki, Kanchana, Manorama, Simran, Meena, Trisha music
director Ilayaraja, producers AVM Saravanan, Abirami Ramanathan and
others.
