Terms like dedication and hard work definitely will match only two names in Kollytown, Kamal Hassan and our Chiyaan. While the former has crossed over 55 years with success over alomst all generes the latter started off on a slow note picking up pace with his speed agility and style to become one of the most soughted heroes in Kollywood.

The high riding 1990 when Dr.Kamal Hassan won the prestigious Padma Shri Award marked the birth of another star who would do anything just for his passion in cinema. With a subtle start after modelling in advert films and serials Director. C.V. Sridhar found the hero in him signing him for the lead in En Kadhal Kanmani on this day in 1990 which failed to showcase the stardom in him.

 

Striding through struggling phases over the years till 1997 when he signed for Sethu, the town found the passion of the chap who was struggling his way through the multitude to mark a place in history. The 21 kilo loss for the film gave him 21 fold success, Awards for sethu: Filmfare Special Award-South and tamiNadu state film award.

His launch as chiyaan was follwed by several successses including Dhill, Kasi (Filmfare Best Tamil Actor award), Gemini, Samurai, Dhool etc.

Every artist finds a new start from a cop story and it was Saamy for Chiyaan who was signed under the banner of K.Balachander's production, directed by Hari. His performance in it was lapped up by critics earning his the nomination for Filmfare Best Actor Award.

"Hard work never fails" . It was a hard road for vikram and success is definitely sure when that hard path was covered. This was showcased by his masterpieces Pithamagan ( Filmfare Best Tamil Actor Award and the National Film Award for Best Actor) , Anniyan ( Best Actor at Filmfare Awards South) and Kanthaswamy with which he succumbed to the superstar image trap

With enough proof on his acting skills the MACHINE MAN of KOLLYWOOD tested himself through ups and lows with his movies Raavanan ( Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Actor), Deiva Thirumagal (Vijay Awards and Filmfare Awards), Thandavam etc.

The Machine man further toppled critics with his "I" move with Director Shankar, losing 56 kilos for the movie (The most by any actor).

The era is lined up now with Vijay Milton's 10 Endrathukulla, a road-thriller.

We at Cinecoffee wish him all success in his future endeavous.

Two influential teams are fighting it out in the polls, While one is led by sitting president R Sarathkumar and Secretary Radha Ravi, the other is led by Vishal and Nasser.

As soon as the election date was announced, campaigning has shifted to a hectic pace. Key members of both the teams are travelling across Tamil Nadu, meeting cine and drama actors.

Even on Saturday, Sarath, Radharavi, Radhika and among others were in Pudukottai, seeking the support of drama actors. Speaking on the occasion, Sarath said, "they are levelling baseless corruption charges against us. We have filed a defamation case against Vishal and others."

Vishal, who too has been meeting actors, says, "Vote for a positive and constructive change. We will work hard for the welfare of actors." He has also said he would marry only after an auditorium is built in Nadigar Sangam premises.

Various issues, including pension for ailing actors and a building for Nadigar Sangam, play a crucial role in the polls. Recently, both Vishal and Sarath met Superstar Rajinikanth and discussed the elections, it may be recalled.

"We have the support of actors and our team will emerge triumphant. I hail from a traditional family and I am not afraid of trivial things," Sarath says.

On his part, Vishal says, "this is a fight for rights and justice. Truth will always win and we have the support of actors and actresses. We will sure emerge winners."

Amid these tall claims, polling will be held under the supervision of a Judge between 7 am and 5 pm at St Ebba's School, Mylapore. All fingers are crossed till then.
