After producers Udhayanidhi Stalin and Dayanidhi Alagiri, both grandsons of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, here comes one more entrant to Tamil cinema from the first family of the State.
He is Arulnithi Thamizharasu, son of KarunanidhiÂs youngest son M K Thamizharasu, who produced ÂGopura Vasalile almost two decades ago. Following the footsteps of his uncles M K Muthu and M K Stalin who have acted in lead roles in the past, Arulnithi will test waters as an actor in a movie to be directed by Pandiraj of ÂPasanga fame.
On Thursday, Arulnithi, along with Pandiraj and father Thamizharasu, the producer of the movie, called on grandfather Karunanidhi and sought his blessings. The Chief MinisterÂs wife Dayalu Ammal, music composer of the film Thaj Noor and cinematographer Mahesh Muthusami were also present.
ÂShooting for the film is scheduled to kick off on February 10, Pandiraj says and adds: ÂThe yet-to-be-named movie has a village-oriented story line. I am happy that they (Thamizharasu and Arulnithi) selected me to direct the film.Â
