It is only after the satisfaction her father she would sign to act in the serial. Sri Vidya says, ' There was no objection when I started acting for the film, because, then I was hardly seven years. I was freely, then allowed to act in films as a child artiste'.
The acting career began for Sri Vidya when she was asked to do a small girl of the film's heroine Roja for the film Unnidithil Ennai Kodhuthen produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers. Besides, she was asked to do small characters in Bala, Nanda, Budget Padmanaban. But in the film Ennaveley she did the role of Sneha's sister and in Sillunnu Oru Kadhal she acted as Jothika's sister.

( BY N.THYAGARAJAN) Directing films or mega soaps for TV channels is not new to him. It is in his genes. For the mega serial Mouna Ragam's ( Zee TV- Telugu) director Oruganty Raghu Sankar it is too difficult to become an individual director.
He entered as an Assistant Director to Late K.Applacharyar who did a lot of comedy films in those days. In the next year ( 1984) he joined as Assistant Director K.S.R.Das and worked for some films.
Aftermath he joined as an Assistant to ace director K.Raghavendra Rao and worked with him for many successful films for more than 12 years.He also did assistant direction under Y.V.S.Chowdry for the Telugu film OHM. He learnt many things from Kannada film director Upendra. His father O.S.R.Anjaneyulu who is director of low-budget films in those days did 10 movies. For each and every milestone of his career advancement he never used his father's name to get chance.
' All I did because, I am interested in directing films and serials' says Raghu to the Guide. Today, Mouna Ragam, the Zee TV's Telgu Channel mega-serial is highly rated in the market and with the requests from the viewers the episodes of the serial have been increased by another 100 days. He adds' Today people are seeing variety of entertainments in various channels. You can't cheat them with some filthy stories which are already shown either in films or in other tv soaps. Many thought Mouna Ragam now being shown in the ZEE Telugu channel was the remake of the Tamil film Mouna Ragam. Really it is not so.
If it is so, why then there were thousands of phone calls and letters from viewers from various parts of the country asking us to continue the serial? In fact the Hansa Vision who produces the serial wanted to complete the story with 250 episodes.Knowing the soap is coming to an end the viewers wrote to the Zee Telugu Channel to continue it for some more time.' Raghu says, 'There is a chemistry for each and every show. Once we cross the limits then the serial or any film will flop. I had seen it in my career.
That is why I said, people are not fools. They take good things always from us and wish to continue watch the serial'. Speaking about the success of the mega-serial ( Mouna Ragam ) and the extension of the soaps by further 100 episodes,he said, the soap had gone beyond 265 episodes, because it was a good story-weight as well script-wise.
He says the artistes in the serial were the familiar artistes of many successful films. Raj Kumar, Seenu, Lakshmi Raj, Bhanu Prakash, Suchitra, Sri Vidya, Bhuvaneswari, Vandana, Lakshmi Priya, Thathaneni Rajeswari who perform their excellent acting under the versatile director Raghu. 'Hence, I did not feel any tiredness or vexed in directing this soap' says Raghu. When asked about the success for the serial with high TRP market in the newly launched channel Zee ( Telugu), he said, ' I am really happy about the story. It is a story of love.
After marriage they start to love each other. Each exposes their love silently even after their marriage. When he wants to reciprocate his love to her some incidents take place. She mistakes him. When she wants to do something to him with love, again some other mistakes takes place. He mistakes her.
In this way, the story is woven, without getting bored for the viewers', says the Director. When asked about what is his next project for direction, he rises his hand above his shoulders 'God alone knows' tells in Telugu 'anni Aayenakay telusu'. ( BY N.THYAGARAJAN) Shilpa, is the only small-screen artiste who loves to buy costumes for her different roles she had been doing for various mega soaps. She feels, when some one offers her to appear in rich man's daughter role, she could alone do the role with the required costumes purchased by her from her own money. For costumes, at any time she never depended upon the producers. Claims, this charming artiste, ' I have purchased everything for my Nandini Devi role in Nimmadhi. The entire production unit praised me when I appeared as a rich girl'.
Shilpa is tall with fair in colour. Her elder sister Nirmala, who have decided to support Shilpa for her acting career is the brain behind for the selection of costumes. From hair pins, to colourful sarees, the TV production companies sometime deceived the eyes of the viewers, that Shilpa was acting for a big budgeted companies. Shilpa who frequents to Mumbai with her elder sister Nirmala for her costumes says, ' My dressings and even rechristening my name as Shilpa from P.S.Mary Teresa were my own choices'.
She narrates how she changed her name to Shilpa. ' I have moved by the name eversince I joined in the Holy Angels Convent.
A sort of attraction I felt, when my intimate friend was called by everyone as Shilpa. I was waiting for an opportunity when I can change my name to Shilpa. The time was ripe, when the Jaya TV selected me to anchor Hit List Movies programme and College Special programs. I appeared in the channel with the name Shilpa. With the sheer luck as it would have been with the change of my name to Shilpa the Jaya TV Channel gave me a privilege to come for the anchoring after attending my school classes' says Shilpa in an interview to the TV Guide.
On seeing Shilpa's anchoring, she started receiving offers from Vijay TV Channel to do Pamban Super Hit film songs. She recalls, of the all the serials she did so far, AVM's Nimmadhi gave her good name, She did the role of a rich man's daughter Nandhini Devi whose penchant for marrying her own aunt's son when not fructified, she takes the revenge against the hero. The story revolves around the vengeful act of Nandhini which ruins her upliftment and finally she dies after tendering her apologies to the entire family. The character catapulted her with the offers to act in various tv soaps. Now Shilpa is very busy with the schedules of Bandham, and telugu soap Vennilamma for the Gemini TV Channel. She plays the second sister role with Sarath Babu as her father. She is acting in DD's Thamarai mega serial directed by Dhanraj.
When asked about her future plans, she said, ' Though acting for serials had given me pleasure, I feel this is not the end of my career. I am very much interested to direct serials too. I have learnt the nuances of technical aspect of producting serials and if anyone is prepared to give me a chance I want to take up the assignment'.
When asked about her dance in the Star Vijay TV Jodi number 1, she said that the programme was a good flatform to all the artistes who appeared in the first round. 'I appeared on the stage with Bharath Kalyan, but could not win the prize. But, we are all not professional dancers, we rehearsed day and night and we did something to get applause for the dance' Going back to her costume-talk she said,' I always used Apoorva type of sarees and I always used original silk sarees with different hair designers, jewellery and many other things that a woman could do to beautify herself.
I want to do the roles always like using my costumes. I always like different colours, but I am very particular using Ink Blue colour', says Shilpa. She opened one of her rooms and showed the costumes were dumped inside the room. ' I thank my parents and Nirmala ' for lending me a good support for my acting career. ( BY N.THYAGARAJAN) Perhaps Vadivukarasi is one of the very few actresses like Sita and Sulakshana who could fit in charming and glamorous mothers' role in films and tv serials as well and this is the reason why she is most sought after nowadays by producers. Very recently, after her mother's role in the film Sivaji for Rajnikanth she has come back to act in small-screen soaps.
'For me acting in cinema and television is the same. The only difference is that you can take enough time and act in relaxed manner for cinema, but to act for soaps you must act spontaneously, like dishes are prepared from fast-food outlets' says Vadivukarasi. The actress who was available at a remotest house in Virugambakkam was doing her role in Gauravam for the Raj TV channel. Vadivukarasi who has 350 films and 15 TV serials to her credit to narrates about her acting career.
With her qualification in Hotel Management, the young Vadivukarasi then was able to join in the house keeping department of the Chennai Hotel Connemera. She wanted to supplement her income to support her family running under penury due to the sudden demise of her uncle and film producer and dialogue writer A.P.Nagarajan. She got a chance in the Chennai DD to anchor a live program. Spontaneity in speaking Tamil without mingling the words with English is her forte. Her friends and relatives, who watched her performances in the live program, began to advise her to act in films.
That was the beginning of her career as heroine in Kanni Paruvathiley with Rajesh. She narrates that she had faced financial problems on several occasions and the TV serials had given her a new lease of life.
'It was in late 90s when the Tamil film workers went in strike, there was no film produced then, naturally like others in the industry, I also suffered. Then it was the time, Nimbus Productions, then produced a mega serial Shakthi offered me to do the role of a monk who could predict the happenings in the near future. I was given 54-page dialogue to do the role. It took only 30 minutes for me to memorize it and without any trepidation, I vomited the dialogues' says Vadivukarasi.
'I was paid Rs.12,000 per day for my appearance in the serial. I was the first person to receive such huge remuneration from the producers' claims Vadivukarasi. 'One can't belittle a person acting in TV serials. As I said earlier, acting for the film and TV are the same. Many derive benefit by acting in soaps, for it sharpens the acting ability of actors' says Vadivukarasi. The actress thankfully acknowledges many tv film producers for adjusting with her the dates for her shooting.
She recalls, 'Many producers like Vimala Ramanan of the Hansa Vision would call all the main artistes to her office, while the dates for the schedule of shooting is drawn. Her production unit is very particular about the availability of the artistes on the scheduled dates'. Vadivukarasi is of the opinion, to make any daily soaps successful; the producers should strive to make the each day a suspenseful climax, so as to make the audiences to watch the next day episode too.
She says, 'People can't be cheated. The viewers possess proper skill and judgment in analyzing things. The success of soap lies in the hands of the good directors with good story lines and short footages'. When asked about the artistes who are often portrayed in negative characters face severe criticisms and scathing attacks of the public if they are out of their houses, the actress replied, 'If they face any attack, it means the serial is doing well and the story had settled down in the minds of the people', laughs Vadivukarasi and with a pause, 'I have never seen Vimala Ramanan portrayed any character in her serials negatively. I have done at least seven serials for them. She used to tell all those who were born on this earth with negative character one day would realize their mistakes and at a certain point of time they become good'.
Vadivukarasi is now busy with the schedules with various Tamil films and is also acting in mega-serials like Megala and Gauravam. She gratefully acknowledges Mother Aurobindo's blessing makes her to feel lightly whatever be the obstacles that come in her way. She said that she had lost all her earnings over a row with her husband in the year 2003 and she was able to run her family because of the Mother.
She had acted in many other serials like Archanai Pookal, Kudumbam, Agal Vilakku, Amman, Muhurtham and a dozen of other soaps won her name.

When I was anchoring 'count-down' programme for the Jaya TV channel for more than a year, many producers noticed me and might have thought that I could fit in for acting. But at that time I felt acting before camera was a new thing' says Aishwarya. 'Very few have noticed me when I acted in a friend role for Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswathi Sangamam.

( BY N.THYAGARAJAN ) In the films like Anniyan, Enga Veetu Pillai and Michael Madana Kamarajan the heroes had enough time to change their costumes, voice modulations and money that are required to produce any number of films. But, producing TV serials with double roles always expensive and time consuming.
Hence, the producers avoid altogether the stories based on the subjects like twins or 'father and son' looking alike talking with each other on many scenes. It is after Radaan TV Arasi in which actress Radhika appears in dual role as mother and daughter, San Media Productions' Bandham', have come out with double role subject. It is about two identical sisters, fights with each other for entrenching their rights over a property and in establishing their mother an innocent woman who was arrested. The dual role in Bandham was done by Preethi Srinivas and now Rindhya has taken over the two roles. She appears as Nithila and Jeeva being soft and rough characters respectively. Preethi Srinivas narrates her experiences and difficulties to the www.filmschannels.blogspot.com. She says while filming both the characters to appear on the same scene, talking with each other, she has to change her costumes quite often for Jeeva and Nithila characters.
'Normally, it may take 30 minutes to change the costumes but by keeping the budget of the soap, time and availability of the sun-light, I change it in 10 mts, and will be immediately on the spot to do the other character' says Preethi Srinivas. 'It is a very tedious job to do both the roles at a time, because I have to speak both the dialogues at a stretch with different modulations. But, I will be surprised and feel happy in the dubbing theater when I see myself talking with the other person alike me. It is a sort of entertainment for me' says Preethi Srinivas. 'Bandham director Hari Babu, who had seen my roles in various soaps,one day called on me and said that he expected two different types of acting. The writer Kumaresan Henry Sam who was beside in the meeting advised me to go view the double acting films of MGR and Rajinikanth to settle down in an idea to do the roles. I followed their instructions strictly and now I am in the good books of various producers and directors' says Preethi who has just passed out of her Intermediate examination of the Chartered Accountancy.The San Media Productions worked out the script with a team for more than six months to produce the soap, reveals Preethi.
She was an aw-shucks initially, when the entire production unit praised her acting. She thought it was an encouragement from her colleagues.She realised that they have really praised her when the director P.Samuthirakani praised her over phone and asking her to keep the tempo of acting.
Preethi has no basic experience in acting when her father Srinivas took her to the ace film director K.Balachandar for a chance in Micro Macro, a weekly serial produced five years ago for the Raj TV channel. The director while offering her chance strictly told Srinivas, the relationships between their families was different and acting before camera was different.' No compromise ' cautioned Balachander.
' I took it as a challenge that I should not be scolded by anyone in the shooting spot. I was able to achieve a good name through the Micro Macro because, the dialogues of the Bombay Chanakya and the instructions of director Naga were easy for me' says Preethi. ' For me, it was like an acrobat doing his skilful jobs with a balance in a circus tent' says Preethi. Following the Micro Macro, she did roles in mega-serials like Ahalya, Veetuku Veedu Looti, Viswaroopam etc., Radan TV gave her a good break in Annamalai with Nurkse character.
As a lover who becomes widow the young Preethi stole the show. Apart from her acting, Preethi is bharthanatyam and Kuchupudi dancer. She has been a student of Kalakshetra since her childhood days.
Her first Bharathanatyam Arangetram took place when she was eight years old. She did the Kuchupudi arangetram in the year 2005 and still continues her dance classes on week ends. She wants to become a film actress and said that she was waiting for an opportunity from good directors. Like her elder brother who is a qualified Chartered Accountant she wants to complete her final CA by working under auditing firm.
When asked about her future plans, she quipped that ' I don't know what I am going to be in the next year. Perhaps, I may continue my acting or dancing or aiming to become a CA. God alone Knows' says Preethi. Now Preethi is acting in Vairanenjam for the Kalaignar TV Channel and Lakshmi for the Sun TV Channel. Recently, she won the best dancer award in the Vijay TV Channel's Jodi No.1 Season 2.

– Ramaswamy Ganesan, better known by his stage name Gemini Ganesan, was an Indian film actor who worked mainly in Tamil cinema. He was nicknamed Kadhal Mannan for the roles he played in films. Ganesan was one among the three biggest names of Tamil cinema, the two being M.
Ramachandran and Sivaji Ganesan. While Sivaji Ganesan excelled in films with drama, and MGR dominated films with fight sequences, a recipient of the Padmashree in 1971, he had also won several other prestigious awards such as the Kalaimamani, MGR Gold Medal and Screen Lifetime Achievement Award. He came from an orthodox Brahmin family, and was one of the few graduates to enter the industry at that time. Gemini Ganesan made his debut with Miss Malini in 1947, but was noticed only after his villainous performance in Thai Ullam in 1953, after playing the lead role in Manam Pola Mangalyam, he finally acquired star status. However unlike Sivaji Ganesan or MGR, Gemini Ganesan was not originally a stage performer, also, he had not won any National Award for his performances in films. In his long career spanning over five decades, Ganesan acted in more than 200 films mainly in Tamil. His performances on the screen were enhanced by successful playback singers like A.
Rajah, in spite of his celebrated film career, Ganesans personal life, particularly his marriage to multiple women over the years, has often been a subject of criticism. He won 2 Filmfare Awards for his acting career.
Gemini Ganesan was born Ganapathi Subramania Sarma in 1920, ramaswamys father Narayanaswami was the Principal of the Maharajahs College, Pudukkottai. Early in his life, Narayanaswami was married to a Brahmin girl but on the death of his wife, he married again. Notable among Narayanaswamis children with Chandramma were Muthulakshmi and Ramaswamy, father of Gemini Ganesan and his grandfather died when he was in the sixth class and later on, he lost his father as well. After the death of his father, Ganesan, along with his grandmother Bagirathi and mother Gangamma, moved to his aunt Muthulakshmis residence, life in the city did not suit Gangamma, and she decided to go back to Pudukkottai. His birth name is accepted as Ramaswamy Ganesan, though it is also rumoured to have been Ganapati Subramanian Sarma. Since Gemini Ganesans aunt Muthulakshmi was an ardent follower of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, there, he was taught yoga and sanskrit and made to read Upanishads, Vedas and Bhagavad Gita as well. He spent a life at the Home and became an expert in Yoga.

Tamil Nadu is the second largest state economy in India with ₹13,842 billion in gross domestic product after Maharashtra.

Tamil Nadu is home to natural resources. In addition, its people have developed and continue classical arts, classical music, historic buildings and religious sites include Hindu temples of Tamil architecture, hill stations, beach resorts, multi-religious pilgrimage sites, and eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Archaeological evidence points to this area being one of the longest continuous habitations in the Indian peninsula, the ASI archaeologists have proposed that the script used at that site is very rudimentary Tamil Brahmi.
Adichanallur has been announced as a site for further excavation. About 60 per cent of the epigraphical inscriptions found by the ASI in India are from Tamil Nadu. A Neolithic stone celt with the Indus script on it was discovered at Sembian-Kandiyur near Mayiladuthurai in Tamil Nadu, according to epigraphist Iravatham Mahadevan, this was the first datable artefact bearing the Indus script to be found in Tamil Nadu. Mahadevan claimed that the find was evidence of the use of the Harappan language, the date of the celt was estimated at between 1500 BCE and 2000 BCE. The early history of the people and rulers of Tamil Nadu is a topic in Tamil literary sources known as Sangam literature, numismatic, archaeological and literary sources corroborate that the Sangam period lasted for about six centuries, from 300 BC to AD300.
Three dynasties, namely the Chera, Chola and Pandya, ruled the area of present-day Tamil Nadu, the Chera ruled the whole of present-day Kerala and parts of western Tamil Nadu comprising Coimbatore, Dharmapuri, Karur, Salem and Erode districts from the capital of Vanchi Muthur. The Chola dynasty ruled the northern and central parts of Tamil Nadu from their capital, Uraiyur, All three dynasties had extensive trade relationships with Rome, Greece, Egypt, Ceylon, Phoenicia, Arabia, Mesopotamia and Persia. Trade flourished in commodities such as spices, ivory, pearls, beads, Chera traded extensively from Muziris on the west coast, Chola from Arikamedu and Puhar and Pandya through Korkai port.

– Tamil is a Dravidian language predominantly spoken by the Tamil people of India and Sri Lanka, and also by the Tamil diaspora, Sri Lankan Moors, Burghers, Douglas, and Chindians. Tamil is a language of two countries, Singapore and Sri Lanka.
It has official status in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and it is also used as one of the languages of education in Malaysia, along with English, Malay and Mandarin. Tamil is also spoken by significant minorities in the four other South Indian states of Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and it is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India. Tamil is one of the classical languages in the world. Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions from 500 BC have been found on Adichanallur and 2 and it has been described as the only language of contemporary India which is recognizably continuous with a classical past. The variety and quality of classical Tamil literature has led to it being described as one of the classical traditions. A recorded Tamil literature has been documented for over 2000 years, the earliest period of Tamil literature, Sangam literature, is dated from ca.300 BC – AD300. It has the oldest extant literature among other Dravidian languages, the earliest epigraphic records found on rock edicts and hero stones date from around the 3rd century BC.
More than 55% of the inscriptions found by the Archaeological Survey of India are in the Tamil language. Tamil language inscriptions written in Brahmi script have been discovered in Sri Lanka, the two earliest manuscripts from India, acknowledged and registered by the UNESCO Memory of the World register in 1997 and 2005, were written in Tamil. In 1578, Portuguese Christian missionaries published a Tamil prayer book in old Tamil script named Thambiraan Vanakkam, the Tamil Lexicon, published by the University of Madras, was one of the earliest dictionaries published in the Indian languages. According to a 2001 survey, there were 1,863 newspapers published in Tamil, Tamil belongs to the southern branch of the Dravidian languages, a family of around 26 languages native to the Indian subcontinent. It is also classified as being part of a Tamil language family, the closest major relative of Tamil is Malayalam, the two began diverging around the 9th century CE. According to linguists like Bhadriraju Krishnamurti, Tamil, as a Dravidian language, descends from Proto-Dravidian, linguistic reconstruction suggests that Proto-Dravidian was spoken around the third millennium BC, possibly in the region around the lower Godavari river basin in peninsular India. The material evidence suggests that the speakers of Proto-Dravidian were of the associated with the Neolithic complexes of South India.
The next phase in the reconstructed proto-history of Tamil is Proto-South Dravidian, the linguistic evidence suggests that Proto-South Dravidian was spoken around the middle of the second millennium BC, and that proto-Tamil emerged around the 3rd century BC. The earliest epigraphic attestations of Tamil are generally taken to have been shortly thereafter 8. – The multiple-camera setup, multiple-camera mode of production, multi-camera or simply multicam is a method of filmmaking and video production.
Several cameras—either film or professional video cameras—are employed on the set and it is often contrasted with single-camera setup, which uses one camera. In this way, multiple shots are obtained in a single take without having to start and this is more efficient for programs that are to be shown a short time after being shot as it reduces the time spent film editing or video editing the footage. It is also a necessity for regular, high-output shows like daily soap operas. It also reduces the complexity of tracking continuity issues that crop up when the scene is reshot from the different angles and it is an essential part of live television. These can be hidden from just one camera but can be more complicated to set up. Another drawback is in film usage—a four-camera setup will use up to four times as much film per take, while shooting, the director and assistant director create a line cut by instructing the technical director to switch between the feed from the individual cameras.
In the case of sitcoms with studio audiences, this cut is typically displayed to them on studio monitors. The line cut might be refined later in editing, as often the output from all cameras is recorded, both separately and as a combined reference display called the q split.
The camera currently being recorded to the cut is indicated by a tally light controlled by a camera control unit on the camera as a reference both for the actors and the camera operators. When sound came into the picture multiple cameras were used to film sets at a single time.
Early sound was recorded onto wax discs that could not be edited, the BBC routinely used multiple cameras for their live television shows from 1936 onward. Desilus innovation was to use 35mm film instead of 16mm and to film with a multiple-camera setup before a studio audience.
In the late 1970s, Garry Marshall was credited with adding the fourth camera to the multi-camera set-up for his series Mork & Mindy, soon after, many productions followed suit and now having four cameras is the norm for multi-camera situation comedies. The multiple-camera method gives the director less control over each shot but is faster, in television, multiple-camera is commonly used for sports programs, news programs, soap operas, talk shows, game shows, and some sitcoms.
Before the pre-filmed continuing series became the dominant dramatic form on American television, multiple cameras can take different shots of a live situation as the action unfolds chronologically and is suitable for shows which require a live audience. For this reason, multiple camera productions can be filmed or taped much faster than single camera, multiple-camera sitcoms were more simplified but have been compared to theatre work due to its similar set-up and use of theatre-experienced actors and crew members. The majority of British sitcoms and dramas from the 1950s to the early 1990s were made using four cameras, unlike the United States, the development of completed filmed programming, using the single camera method, was limited for several decades 9. – Vijay Sun TV is a Tamil satellite television station.
