Like Chennai, Madurai and Nellai, Trichy also holds lots of MGR movie records. His first silver jubilee movie as Hero “En Thangai” was released in 1952 in Jupiter, was second best after Murugan Theatre in Srilanka with 50 weeks run.

 

When MGR was the Chief Minister he wanted to change the capital of Tamil Nadu from Chennai to Trichy but the plan was dropped.

 

The Information is passed by MGR Devotee K.Krishnan from Trichy. Movies that are over 100 days are given below.
