There is only one evergreen hero in Tamil cinema. The dead, yet living M.G.R.
Today's heroes are scared by the value his commands in the market. His 'Ayirathil oruvan' was released in 1966. It was the first film Jayalalitha was paired with him. It beat all records in the industry when it was released.
This film was released on June1st in Chennai backed up by huge advertisements. The release took place in 3 theatres in Chennai. As the theatres showing new films were empty, the 40-year-old film got fantastic reception.
There was a huge crowd in Abhirami Mahal. We picked a person from the crowed and asked him why so many crowd for an old film. As if waiting for such a question he opened up.
'Our idol's film is never boring how ever many times you watch it" he began. He has seen it over 50 times. He is prepared to watch it for another five hundred times just for that song 'ado andha paravai pola?'.
Last year they created jams in theatres by releasing M.G.R.'s 'Nadodi mannan'. Some distributors now plan to release M.G.R.'s films every month with wide publicity!
