They shaped and nurtured a generation’s dreams in the 80s. They were
more than actors for the audience, representing the realities and
fantasies of life. They have now come to the peaks of their careers and
some of them still lead the way. It was a reunion of the southern stars
for the second time at the ‘Evergreen 80s’, organised by Suhasini
Maniratnam and hosted by Lissy Priyadarshan in Chennai on Sunday.
With
Rajnikanth, who was present last year, five other southern stars,
Chiranjeevi, Mohanlal, Venkatesh, Sarath Kumar and Arjun, also joined
the reunion this time. Some of the new faces of southern cinema also
joined the veterans in the function.
Actors Ambika, Radhika,
Poornima Bhagyaraj, Lissy, Radha, Nadiya, Ramya Krishnan, Kushbu,
Prathap Pothen, Mukesh, Shankar, Karthik, Mohan, Suresh, Suman, Prabhu,
Naresh, Bhanuchander, Ambareesh, Shobhana and Revathy are among those
who attended the function.
They spent the evening with music and dance. The actors will meet at ‘Evergreen 80s’ every year, each time in a different State.
