A grand awards function will be organised in order to honour film artistes and some technicians, Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa has announced in the assembly on Friday.
The chief minister made this announcement in response to the DMK MLA Vagai Chandrasekar’s statement that no awards function has been organised in the past five years of the AIADMK regime.
“It was during the time of DMK regime that awards for the small screen actors and technicians were given,” he mentioned.
