The Tamil film industry is getting ready for yet another grand carnival. For Chief Minister M Karunanidhi will lay the foundation stone for ‘Kalaignar Thirai Oor’, a residential colony for members of the film fraternity, at Paiyanoor near Chennai on April 23.

The colony would come up at the 65-acre land allotted by the Chief Minister. Besides residential complexes, the Kalaignar Thirai Oor would also have a film studio, a hospital and other infrastructure facilities.

Superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan among other actors would take part at the function. While the Chief Minister would lay the foundation stone for residential complexes, Rajinikanth would do it for the studio and Kamal for the hospital.

According to Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI) president V C Guhanathan, “We have also plans to set up an edit suit, a recording and dubbing studio at Kalaignar Thirai Oor. The colony would surely set an example for others.”
