Happenings in the Tamil Cineworld!
Interesting pieces of News:
- The coming days would be hectic for the Assistant directors. But on
this day they were seen masquerading majestically in their blue coats
and Jeans.
- The pulpit was not make ready even by 6.30 pm, the scheduled
starting time of the proceedings.
- His friend represented Grant Page, the Australian stunt director.
- The 'Dinamalar' daily had brought out a special issue for
this film. Some of the media men were not happy over this. They didn't
like praising a film ever before it's release.
- There was news in the air that the photo in which the two Kamals are
measuring their strength by joining their hands is just artificial.
Many believed that the blown-up strength of Kamal's arms are just a
matter of 'Make-belief'.
- Kamal has Aalavandhan, Nandakumar, Vijaya Kumar in Tamil. In Hindi,
he has Vijay, Alex...
- Aged K.Viswanath, the director of 'Salangai Oli' had
to go up the stage three times. He could so only with the help of an
assistant.
- Vijayakanth had come straight from his shooting spot with facial
make-up. He was seen wearing a shirt that befits the range of
Ramarajan.
- Raveena Tandon was talking endlessly with those who were sitting by
her side. She was keen in knowing the contents of Kamal's speech as it
was in Tamil.
- Only four people took the microphone on that day. The two anchormen
Kamal himself and the man who was testing the mike!
- Many people thought that the function was over within go minutes.
They were upset visibly.
- When some of the fans stirred and made their exit at the time when
National anthem was being sung, Kamal, Vairamuthu and the like were
annoyed. They made some stern signals with their eyes at the mindless
fans, but to no avail.
- Some of the audience flocked around the stage even after the
completion of the function. But the V.I.Ps have managed to make their
way out by that time.
- The security men were very strict and watchful.
- One could see the two daughters of Kamal on the stage, after the
function was over. Kamal's fans were very jubilant on seeing them. To
them, they were look-alikes of Kamal himself!
- There was pin-drop silence at the venue when Kamal was holding mike.
Suddenly one exuberant fan opened his mouth. "Thalaiva! (Oh, our
dear leader!) he shouted in a full-throated voice. Other fans followed
suit. "Thalaiva! Thalaiva! Thalaiva!". The fan's
strong support must have gladdened Kamal's heart, no doubt.
- When Kamal spoke, the collar mike he was wearing on his shirt did
not serve the purpose. The sound was feeble. Abdul Hameed offered to
Kamal the mike, which has been given to him. His timely action has
relieved the embarrassment of the audience.
- The trailor of 'Thenali' was shown on the occasion. Then followed
the trailor of 'Aalavandhan', too. The commando training
undergone by Kamal at the National security Guards centre in New Delhi
was displayed. The bed room scene in which Kamal and Raveena Tandon
are very close was also shown.
- It was a grandoise programme on the whole. It was a great evening.
The programme was a stupendous success everything about the programme
was a grandeur. The man behind all those scenes is producer Kalaipuli
Thanu. But he looked like a picture of humility.
