The Nagpur International Film Festival has decided to honour Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi for his script and dialogues in the recently released 'Ilaignan', which has lyricist Pa Vijay in the lead role.
Organisers of the annual event have invited the octogenarian script writer to Nagpur to take part in the festival and receive the award. "His narration, dialogues and the message in ‘Ilaignan’ are marvelous," they said.
However, the Chief Minister has expressed his inability to attend the festival. Instead of him, Pa Vijay, director Suresh Krishna, Kushboo and producer S Martin would receive the award.
On hearing the news that 'Ilaignan' has been selected for the honour, senior Ministers of Tamil Nadu Cabinet Arcot N Veerasamy, K Ponmudy and E Velu and Union Minister S S Palanimanickam called on the Chief Minister and congratulated him.
