Selection
for the award for Kalai Maamani title
for 2006 is going on currently. This
prestigious state award has been looked
upon by Kollywood fraternity with
a lot of enthusiasm. There are different
categories in this award which are
conferred on the deserving personalities.
In the award segment for journalists,
the name of Adhiveera Pandiyan- former
film
reporter
of Dinathandi- figures first. Other names have
also been scrutinized.
In the actor’s category, the names of youngsters
like Jeyam Ravi, Jeeva, Bharath and Srikanth are
prominent. But grapevine feels that Jeeva has
a good chance to win this award. His performance
in Ram and E has earned him a lot of accolades
and critical acclaim. This seems to work in favour
of Jeeva. The final list will be announced by
the Tamil Nadu government very soon.
