BR Panthulu`s Karnan will now be re-released in digital format soon.
At the launch director Cheran urged present day filmmakers not to use Sivaji Ganesan`s film titles for current films. Said Cheran: “I am an ardent fan of Sivaji Ganesan. Today,anyone can act in films irrespective of whether you have the talent or not. So by keeping the titles of thespian Sivaji Ganesan`s films, the present filmmakers are bringing disrespect to the legendary actor.”
Cheran challenged current filmmakers to remake a Sivaji Ganesan film. Added Cheran: “One can remake Billas and Maapillais, but it is impossible to remake Sivaji`s immortal Tamil classics.”
Kamala Theatre owner Chidambaram wondered why Sivaji Ganesan`s wax statue was not put up at Madame Tussad`s in London, where Amitabh Bachchan`s statue has been put up.
Those present at the trailer launch were Sivaji Ganesan`s son Ramkumar, director Panthulu`s daughter BR Vijayalakshmi, singer P suseela, PB Srinivas, music composer TK Ramamurthy, VS Raghavan, Master Sridhar and Shanmuga Sundaram.
