The Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai on last saturday was the venue to celebrate 40 years of the Directors’ Association. The event was graced with almost all the tamil directors presence, and dance performances from Anaha,sameera Reddy and Charmi. The Surprise dancers of the evening were Roja and Devayani along with karthik and Radha.
The entry of Isaignani Ilayaraja and Ilayathalapthy Vijay did lit up the mood of the evening, but it was Superstars entry which stole the loudest of the cheers at the stadium. Later the super star also turned out to be the star of the evening when director K Balachander called Rajinikanth up on stage to ‘interview’ him. The director said that these were questions that had been on his mind for a very long time. The excerpts from the interview:

I will definitely do something that would make all of tamil people proud.
