Born to Thiru Muthuvelar and Thirumathi Anjugam Ammaiyar on this day in 1924, then Dakshinamurthy, grew up to become one of the most powerful leaders in the Indian sub-continent.
Dakshinamurthy, better known to us all as Mu. Karunanidhi does not need any introductions. He began his career as a script writer in Tamil films. Dr. Kalainger, as he is adoringly referred to, entered politics at the age 14. When Kalainger was 20, he married Padmavathy Ammayyar. He was working as a script writer for Jupiter Pictures at that time.
His first film as a script writer was ‘Rajakumari’, and it was here that he learned the nuances of script writing. Even after entering politics Kalainger has shown a keen interest in films. He has script written more than 70 films, many of which have turned out to be block-buster hits. Some dialogues as well as monologues of his films are still remembered by us verbatim.
Dr. Kalainger who has never lost an election in which he has contested still continues his successful march being the chief minister of Tamil Nadu and wields immense power in the centre.
Apart from having a very fulfilling film career Dr. M. Karunanidhi struck gold in politics with his intelligence and wit in oratorical skills in Tamil. His contributions to the field of Tamil literature in the form of poems, letters, screen plays, biographies, novels, stage plays, historic novels, dialogues as well as songs are aplenty.
IndiaGlitz wishes Dr. Kalainger, who celebrates his 86th birthday today, a long, prosperous and healthy life and we also wish he brings a lot of good to Tamil Film Industry as well as to the whole Tamil Nadu with his efficient rule.
