The excitement and buzz that has surrounded Sivaji simply refuses to die. Tamil cinema's biggest blockbuster yet will celebrate 200 days on January 11. And to commemorate the glorious occasion, AVM Productions, which produced the mega hit, is organising a grand function on the same day. The function, to be held at the Madras University, will have none other than the Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi as the chief guest. Sivaji is the 100th Tamil film of Rajnikanth in which the superstar teamed up with the director with the Midas touch, Shankar, Tamil cinema's most prestigious production house AVM and music maestro A.R. Rahman. The dream team exceeded the expectations of everyone by coming up with a spectacular film. The film had a stupendous run at theatres all over India and even outside India. The film went on to become the first Tamil film ever to break into the UK Top 10, beating bigger Hollywood films like Fantastic 4 and Oceans 13. As part of the silver jubilee celebrations, a short film on the making of Sivaji will be released which is sure to delight the audience. An added bonus is that the Sivaji team is planning to screen scenes that were edited out at the editing table.. The cast and crew who put in their very best to make this film a roaring success will be honoured with mementos during the occasion. To show their gratitude, AVM is also going to honour theatre owners who screened Sivaji with a special function to be held at Rajnikanth's Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam. Well, we at galatta.com offer our best wishes to this team which has propelled Tamil cinema to the forefront. -- regards, Vithur A.R.RAHMAN - THE ABODE OF DIVINE MUSIC
