Chandramukhi - Celebrate the completion of 804 day Gallery

TamilaNadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi on Monday heaped praise on actor Rajinikanth for his simplicity and hard work.

Even as Tamil Superstar latest sensation ‘Sivaji-The Boss’ was en route to creating box office history, his other film ‘Chandramukhi’ quietly completed a record 804-run breaking the record held by the 1944 classic Haridoss.

Speaking at a function organised at Kamaraj Arangam to mark the record run of the actor’s movie Chandramukhi (804th day), Mr. Karunanidhi said Rajinikanth was humble in spite of his success. This quality, the Chief Minister added, was the reason for the actor continuing to be successful. Mr. Karunanidhi pointed out how Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during his address at the Japanese parliament, had referred to the popularity of Rajinikanth. “This gives me utmost happiness,” the Chief Minister said.

The Sivaji Productions movie, directed by P. Vasu, is still showing at a theatre. Actors Kamal Hassan and Prabhu, Rajathi Ammal, Sivaji Ganesan’s wife Kamala, family members of Rajinikanth and actor Sridevi were among those present at the function.

Some of scenes which were not accommodated in Chandramukhi will be screened at the venue besides the hit song Ra Ra will be premiered in Tamil at the venue.
The movie set a new record in Tamil film history surpassing M K Thyaraja Bhagavadhar’s Haridas (1944). The latter has run continuously for over 700 days. But Chandramukhi is still going strong after 800 days.
