Kanimozhi M.P Turning A Film Producer

Kanimozhi, the poetess-turned-politician daughter of Kalaignar and a sitting Rajya Sabha M.P., is said to be seriously considering the option of turning a film producer, sources close to her say. An under-production film ‘Kanimozhi’ has nothing to do with the hi-profile daughter of the chief minister, as it’s being produced by actress Sona.

Other than politics, members of Kalaignar’s vast family have been regularly foraying into the various departments of the Tamil film industry. Kalaignar himself, who leads the way, is a successful lyrics and story-dialogue writer in films for a long time now. Kalaignar’s eldest son M.K. Muthu dabbled in acting when he was propped up in vain by the DMK as an alternative to the legendary MGR in the mid-seventies. Muthu’s son is now trying to make his mark in Kollywood as an actor as well as a qualified singer.

Deputy chief minister Stalin too has appeared in films; Stalin’s son Udhayanidhi owns the production house ‘Red Giant Movies’ and is also a successful distributor. Union Minister Azhagiri’s son Dayanidhi Azhagiri too has his own production house ‘Cloud Nine’. With the film ‘Vamsam’, which is gearing up for release in about a month’s time from now, Kalaignar’s son M.K. Tamilarasu turns producer.

‘Vamsam’ also marks the debut as hero of Arulnidhi, an MBA student and son of Tamilarasu, as hero in Tami films opposite Sunaina. In the meantime, it is said that Kanimozhi is also too keen to make her mark in films as a producer. The cast and crew and other technicians of the film are being kept under the wraps by the producer for the time. Sources close to the politician and daughter of Kalaignar say that Kanimozhi is itching to turn producer at the earliest possible instance.
