The
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi
has decided to continue with the entertainment
tax exemption in the state considering
the welfare of the film industry.
The Chief Minister, who attended the
movie launch function of Nee Indri
Nan Illai said, “Though the
State government has been losing revenue
of Rs. 50 crore every year by way
of entertainment tax exemption, we
are committed to continue with it
for the welfare of the industry.”
The film is based on the CM’s
novel Surulimalai. The story, screenplay
and dialogues are by Karunanidhi and
the movie is directed by Ilavenil
and produced by Arumuganeri Murugesan.
The revenue from the film will go
to deprived senior artistes in the

it was only Karunanidhi’s Parasakthi
dialogues that got him entry into
the AVM studios.
Others prominent personalities present
for the function are Manorama, Vivek,
AVM Saravanan and FEFSI president
VC Guganathan.
