DMK Patriarch Karunanidhi was not just a political stalwart but also an iconic figure in the Tamil film industry. He started his career as a screenwriter in 1947 and wrote screenplay for several successful films such as Parasakthi and Ponnar Shankar.

While Parasakthi narrated the tragedy that befell a Tamil family during World War II, Ponnar Shankar was an adaptation of M. Karunanidhi's novel of the same title.

Members of the film fraternity on Tuesday, 7 August, took to Twitter, expressing sorrow over the DMK patriarch's death.
