Sivaji Ganesan's Pudhiya Paravai Re-Released

Sivaji Ganesan is one of the legends of Tamil cinema and was a superstar during his lifetime.

Last week, his sons leading producer Ram Kumar and actor Prabhu have re-released their father’s 1964 classic Pudhiya Paravai at the family owned Shanthi theatre on Mount Road in the heart of Chennai.

Prabhu in an interview said: “We screened Pudhiya Paravai, because of the demands from fans to mark his 9th death anniversary. The negatives of the film were cleaned up at a lab exclusively for this screening”

Pudhiya Paravai has taken a very good re-release opening at Shanthi. Remember in the 60’s, all the Sivaji Ganesan films were released at Shanthi, Crown, Bhuveneswari in Madras.

However in the case of Pudhiya Paravai it could not be released at Shanthi as Raj Kapoor’s eternal and evergreen hit Sangam was going full house. The film was released at Paragon theatre, which no longer exists.
