Prabhu plans Sivaji mela
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,July 28 2010]
In a bid to celebrate his father, the late legendary actor Sivaji GanesanÂs legacy, Prabhu is planning to hold a ÂSivaji Film Mela at their family owned cinema hall Shanthi Theatre on Anna Salai in Chennai.
And what prompted him to do this is the re-release of SivajiÂs 1964 blockbuster thriller ÂPuthiya Paravai at Shanthi Theatre Friday last, which is attracting full house crowd for the past four days.
ÂThe response to Puthi ParavaiÂs re-release has been tremendous. We screened the movie following requests from appaÂs fans to mark his ninth death anniversary, said the Nadigar ThilakamÂs son.
Stating that fans were requesting to hold a ÂSivaji Film MelaÂ, Prabhu said, ÂWe are seriously thinking about it as they are asking for a Sivaji year of movies. Quality of prints of all his films has to be checked.Â
Interestingly, when ÂPuthiya Paravai was released four decades ago, Sivaji was unable to screen the film in Shanthi Theatre, as Hindi film ÂSangam was running in the cinema hall at that time.
