State awards for Rajini and Kamal!

Sources close to the Secretariat confirms that the government has finalized the list of state film award winners for the year 2007-2008. It is said that the Tamil Nadu government has adjudged Rajinikanth the best actor of the year 2007 (for Sivaji) and Kamal the best actor of the year 2008 (for Dasavathaaram). A formal announcement in this regard is expected in a day or two.

Chief Minister M Karunanidhi would honour the top actors of Tamil cinema at a grand function which is to be held soon in Chennai. It may be recalled that Rajinikanth bagged the award for his performance in Chandramukhi in 2005, Kamal Hassan won it for the 2006 release Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu. Both were presented awards at a function in 2007.

The superstar is going to celebrate his 60th birthday soon and Ulaganayagan is busy with his Golden Jubilee celebrations. Our advance best wishes to the icons of Tamil cinema!
