More honours for Shankar films

Director Shankar's home production Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi and Veyyil won several acclaims. Both the movies managed a good collection at the box office and also appreciated by the critics.
The former was directed by Simbhudevan and the latter by Vasanthabalan. Adding one more feather in the cap of director Shankar is the recognition from the Tamilnadu Murpokku Ezhuthaalar Sangam. The organisation comprising elite Tamil writers selects the most deserving films for every year for the award instituted by the organisation.
For the year 2006, Veyyil and Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikesi have been selected. Awards will be given to the producer, director and writer of these films at a function to be held at Hosur in August.


Success brings them together - Chandramukhi

Celebrating the grand success is Chandramukhi team. The cast and crew of Chandramukhi team would come together at Kamaraj Arangam in Chennai on Monday evening to celebrate the completion of 804 day run of the Rajni starrer.
Presiding over the function would be Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. Veteran director K Balachander and Kamal Haasan would be the chief guests on the occasion.
Rajnikanth, producers Ramkumar and Prabhu, director P Vasu and music-composer Vidyasagar would be present on the occasion.
The movie set a new record in Tamil film history surpassing M K Thyaraja Bhagavadhar's Haridas (1944). The latter has run continuously for over 700 days. But Chandramukhi is still going strong after 800 days.
Some of scenes which were not accommodated in Chandramukhi will be screened at the venue besides the hit song Ra Ra will be premiered in Tamil at the venue.
