Chennai, June 11 (Ians) Muthuvel Karunanidhi, the five-time Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and the icon of the Dravidian movement, was one of the most respected script writers in the Tamil film industry.
This was mainly due to the real life situations in the scripts he has written with most directly resonating with the ordeals faced by ordinary workers and labourers who were always close to his heart.
The veteran Dmk leader had once in an interview said that he used to promote rationalism and equality in his movies and he shunned larger than life images of his characters.
He had said that his characters were generally people from humble backgrounds and lived a tough life. The stories written by Kalaignar generally had an impact on ordinary men and women and they loved Karunanidhi as a messiah to remove their worries and difficulties.

ReviewFor some reason the period of the film is set in 1998. The twist too feels as old as the decade in which the movie is taking place. In director Venkat Prabhu’s Custody – starring Naga Chaitanya and Krithi Shetty – an entire government machinery goes in chase of a policeman, who is at the bottom of the system. Besides his designation of a constable, the caste location also reveals the male lead’s vulnerability. Practically how the protagonist fights these challenges to emerge victorious is the story of Custody. The film also stars Arvind Swamy, Priyamani, Sharat Kumar, Vennela Kishore and Krithi Shetty and others in important roles. Shiva (Naga Chaitanya) is a police constable working in a small police station. He accidentally meets Razoo (Arvind Swamy), a gangster accused in a bombing case that has killed several people. Shiva takes upon himself to save Razoo from the others who are...

KollywoodTrisha has completed 15 years in films.Digital Native trisha_DN 750x500.jpgThe journey of Trisha Krishnan as an actor is quite interesting, considering she swore never to enter cinema soon after winning the Miss Chennai beauty pageant. Earlier this week, she reached a new milestone and it marked the successful completion of 15 years of her career in front of the camera. On the occasion, she took to Twitter to say: “If there’s one thing I did right, it was choosing to stand for against all odds, go with purely my gut, give it my 100% while it gave me back double, this is it. And I wouldn’t trade a day for anything else. Thank you all for being part of my most beautiful journey.” Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, she said that she’d like to thank all those filmmakers who made great films with her: "I am so grateful and overwhelmed with the love pouring in. And a big thanks to my fans that have stood by me through it all. I would also like to thank my directors, who have written scripts for me and given me such wonderful films.” Having starred alongside all the top stars such as Kamal Haasan, Vijay, Ajith, Vikram and Suriya in his illustrious career, Trisha has been part of memorable and hit films. She has also had her share of bad films and flops; however, she continued to hold her ground despite facing setbacks. On the career front, Trisha has about half a dozen projects in her kitty. She currently has Garjanai, the Tamil remake of NH10 in the pipeline, apart from projects such as Sathuranga Vettai 2, 96, Mohini and 1818. This year also marks her Malayalam debut with Nivin Pauly in Hey Jude. Trisha is very much in the big league but her choice of films has changed and that’s a good sign. Unlike the current crop, she is no longer after star heroes and is keen to take on women-centric projects. One of her dreams is to play late Tn Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa in her biopic. In a recent chat with her fans on Twitter, she reiterated that she is still open to the idea of starring in a biopic on the veteran politician. It’s interesting to note that both of them are from the same school Church Park. In her Twitter chat, when asked to pick from three women - Kalpana Chawla, Jayalalithaa, and Marilyn Monroe – on whose biopic she will work on, she said Jayalalithaa. Last year, in an interview to News 18, Trisha said she would love work in the biopic of Jayalalithaa because: “I think she is all woman power and that's the biopic I would like to do. She has got a very interesting career graph as well a very intriguing political graph.” Unfortunately, no filmmaker so far has expressed interest in doing a biopic on Jayalalithaa so far.
