The
Tamil
Film
Producers
Council
(TFPC),
a
powerful
trade
body
of
Tamil
Cinema
industry,
has
announced
fresh
restrictions
on
re
using
the
titles
of
old
classical
hits
for
new
films.
Keeping
titles
of
old
hit
films
for
the
new
films
is
the
latest
trend
in
the
Tamil
Cinema
industry.
Dhanush's
Thiruvilayadal,
Polladhavan
were
old
film
titles,
but
those
have
worked
big
time
for
him.
His
next
film
to
be
directed
by
Sooraj,
has
been
tentatively
titled
as
Padikadhavan,
also
an
old
Rajinikanth
film
title.
Apart
from
this,
Dhanush
registered
nearly
6
more
titles
of
old
Rajini
films
including
Nallavanukku
Nallavan
and
Murattukkalai
for
his
forthcoming
films.
Similarly
some
30
plus
new
films
with
old
titles
like
Aayirathil
Oruvan,
Malaikallan,
Marmayogi,
Nadodi
Mannan,
Ulagam
Sutrum
Vaaliban
etc.
are
on
the
way
to
hit
the
screens.
Almost
all
MGR
and
Rajinikanth
old
titles
have
become
hot
at
present.
Some
of
these
titles
are
available
free
as
the
original
title
right
holders
are
not
bothered
to
re-register
the
name
after
the
mandatory
10
years.
A
lot
of
filmmakers
are
approaching
the
Tamil
Film
Producers
Council
seeking
their
help
to
register
old
hit
films
or
names
of
yester
year
actors
and
Tamil
legends.
But
actually
the
producers
of
the
old
classics
are
not
satisfied
with
the
present
trend
and
conveyed
their
agony
to
the
TFPC
also.
The
Govt
of
Tamil
Nadu
also
shared
its
displeasure
over
the
issue
and
urged
the
body
to
save
the
originality
of
the
classics.
After
reviewing
the
situation,
the
Council
is
now
trying
to
curtail
the
trend
by
fixing
a
huge
amount
as
fee
for
using
the
old
titles
to
new
films.
This
amount
will
be
directly
paid
to
the
old
producers
as
compensation
for
using
or
diluting
the
originality
of
the
classics.
