A special post by MGR Devotee S.Vinod

 

 

MGR movie ANNAMITTA KAI was released today at Chennai Plaza, Prabath, Saravana, Liberty and all over Tamil Nadu. Bharath MGR title was displayed in Annamittakai movie.

 

Underground politics started during this month by DMK and all press and in direct attacks on MGR started. News about MGR was blacked out in Daily Thanthi.

 

MGR Mandrams were threatened by Karuna to convert MGR Mandrams to Muka Muthu Mandrams. We were part of North Arcot MGR Mandrams and the DMK officials contacted our President of Mandram and threatened to start new Mandrams for Muka Muthu.

 

But nothing was happened. No doubt Makkal Thilagam MGR faced all the challenges boldly and all our MGR Mandrams actively supported our Makkal Thilagam for all actions and we were loyal and stood behind Makkal Thilagam.

 

Most of the MGR Producers, Distributors and theater owners called by Karuna and threatened not to work with MGR in future. Above all the challenges, MGR success came boldly and he proved once again that he is the Evergreen Hero and Box Office Hero forever.
