VijayakanthÂs sentiment
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,January 12 2008]
Aandal and Azhagar are the names of Captain VijayakanthÂs parents. He has named his marriage hall after his parents name (Aandal Azhagar Thirumana Mandapam). He has opted for the same names for his engineering collage too.
Sources close to Captain say that he has also been nurturing a desire to produce a film with a title that has his parents names.
However, there is already a film with the title ÂAandal Azhagar in the making. Director Magadurai is making it with relatively new faces.
It is surprising that there is no protest in any form from CaptainÂs side. It seems that Vijayakanth doesnÂt want to monopolize his parents names, which are the names of the Gods widely worshiped in and around Madurai. He might have even felt that this too could be a tribute to his parents.
By the way, the film ÂAandal Azhagar is growing in a steady pace without any fanfare. The shooting is going on in places like Chithambaram, Thiruvannamalai, Kodaikkanal, and Chennai. Maamadurai also has plans to shoot a song near Taj Mahal.
