Anna’s Decree

Sri MGR Year 98, 19th July, Sunday

After MGR was ousted from DMK in 1972, the party high command and as well as the circle level speakers tried their best to make believe that MGR did not have love towards the Tamil language. They emphasized that MGR was singing duet with Jayalalaitha for the movie Ayirathil Oruvan when Anti Hindi agitation was on its peak.

We all know that the movie has only one duet “Naanamo” which was shot entirely in the studio. So how come a duet in Karwar? There is no such outdoor scenes shot for the movie. And all the MGR devotees and Fans know why our beloved Leader Puratchi Thalaivar MGR did not participated in the Anti Hindi agitation.
