The
late
Tamil
acting
legend
Sivaji
Ganeshan,
whose
birth
anniversary
falls
on
Oct
1,
will
be
accorded
a
very
special
tribute
--
a
whistling
ensemble
will
render
a
number
of
songs
from
the
thespian's
films
at
a
concert
here.
Actors
such
as
MS
Bhaskar
and
YG
Mahendran
are
expected
to
perform
too.
"We
will
perform
28
songs
from
Sivaji
Ganeshan's
films
during
the
course
of
a
three-hour
programme.
The
proceeds
from
the
event
will
go
to
Little
Hearts,
an
organisation
that
works
for
the
upliftment
of
the
underprivileged," R
Arun
Kumar,
head
of
the
South
Zone
Whistle
Association,
told
IANS.
He
added,
"We
are
expecting
the
participation
of
actors
MS
Bhaskar
sir
and
YG
Mahendran
sir
too.
On
the
day
of
the
event,
members
of
the
audience
can
also
show
their
whistling
talent
through
a
special
competition
that
we
have
planned
for
them."
Founded
in
2004,
the
association
has
since
given
several
performances.
Its
members
are
from
different
walks
of
life.
Arun
Kumar
says
whistling
has
a
lot
of
health
benefits.
"Whistling
helps
to
supply
oxygen
to
different
parts
of
the
body.
It
also
helps
in
rejuvenating
brain
cells
and
serves
as
a
good
breathing
exercise,"
he
added.
