“The duty a father owes his son is to make him sit foremost in the assembly of the learned.”
This is a verse from the Thirukkural—graciously penned by the great sage Valluvar—defining the duty a father must fulfill for his son.
“The service a son owes his father is to make others ask: ‘What great penance must his father have performed to beget such a son?’” This is another verse from the Thirukkural—taught to us by Thiruvalluvar—defining the duty a son must fulfill for his father. These two verses have been brought to life and proven true by…
Our senior member—a pioneer who served as a role model for many young writers, and who dedicated himself immeasurably to the welfare of film associations—the successful film director and distinguished writer, the Honorable Mr. S.A. Chandrasekhar…
And by his illustrious son—
The beacon of hope for today’s younger generation; a superstar who reached the pinnacle of the film industry, and who has now risen to become a leading star in the political landscape of Tamil Nadu;
A distinguished student who has today ascended to the high office of Chief Minister—the Honorable Mr. C. Joseph Vijay…
Today, the shared dream of both father and son has been realized.
Honorable Chief Minister Mr. C. Joseph Vijay… Your victory is the victory of the people of Tamil Nadu. It is the victory of the Tamil film industry.
Through your energy and your diligent, intelligent efforts—
May Tamil Nadu stand tall with pride… May the Tamil film industry flourish…
Grant us good governance… and look upon our film fraternity with favor…
With warm regards… Liaquat Ali Khan,
General Secretary,
South Indian Film
