The
four-day
Centenary
Celebrations
of
Indian
Cinema
has
successfully
come
to
an
end
on
Tuesday
(September
24).
The
closing
ceremony
was
attended
by
some
of
the
big
names
of
South
films
along
with
President
Of
India,
Pranab
Mukherjee
and
Tamil
Nadu
Chief
Minister
Jayalalithaa.
As
in
every
function,
now,
the
drawbacks
of
the
event
have
come
under
scanner.
The
first
among
them
is
that
there
are
murmurs
on
stars
being
treated
badly
by
the
organisers.
There
are
reports
that
Illayathalapathy
Vijay
was
not
treated
well
and
was
insulted
at
the
Centenary
Celebrations
of
Indian
Cinema.
Prior
to
the
event,
there
were
doubts
on
the
Velayudham
star
making
it
to
the
event.
It
was
because
the
actor
was
not
happy
with
the
industry
men
and
the
state
government
because
nobody
stood
by
him
when
his
movie
Thalaivaa
faced
release
problems.
It
is
now
reported
that
Vijay
was
invited
to
the
function
at
the
last
minute.
The
actor
was
not
willing
to
attend
the
function,
but
half-heartedly
he
graced
the
Centenary
Celebrations
of
Indian
Cinema.
To
add
salt
to
the
injury,
the
Illayathalapathy
was
given
the
seat
in
the
last
row.
While
actors
of
his
age
were
seated
in
the
front
rows,
he
was
given
the
seat
in
the
end.

Vijay
Maintained
Silence
Vijay
was
upset
the
way
he
was
made
to
sit,
but
he
did
not
complain.
The
actor
was
silent
and
was
sitting
alone
initially.
Chiyaan
Joined
Vijay
Later,
Chiyaan
Vikram
joined
him.
The
Anniyan
star
was
reportedly
given
the
seat
in
the
front
row.
But
he
chose
to
sit
next
to
the
Thuppakki
actor.
Vijay
With
Aishwarya
Vijay
was
also
joined
by
Aishwarya
Dhanush.
She,
along
with
Vikram
and
Vijay,
was
seen
chatting
at
the
event.
Organisers
Failed
Apart
from
Vijay,
there
are
many,
who
think
that
the
Centenary
Celebrations
of
Indian
Cinema
was
not
well
organised.
At
the
basic
level,
the
organisers
have
failed
to
recognise
the
talents,
who
have
put
the
South
films
on
the
map
of
Indian
cinema.
Celebs
Who
Missed
The
Function
When
it
comes
to
Tamil
industry,
Vadivelu,
Bharathi
Raja,
Shankar,
Mani
Rathnam,
P
Sushila,
S
Janaki,
AR
Rahman
and
many
others'
contribution
was
not
honoured.
The
absence
of
such
names
did
not
add
weightage
to
the
function.
R
Naryana
Murthy
Telugu
director
R
Naryana
Murthy
echoed
the
same
thoughts
as
he
criticised
the
organisers
for
failing
to
recognise
the
real
contributors
for
the
growth
of
Telugu
cinema.
