Tamil Film Fraternity Laments Karunanidhi’s Demise

Rajinikanth, Actor Siddharth, Saundarya Rajnikanth, Hansika Motwani took to Twitter and expressed grief.

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.

Today is a black day in my life, one which I can never forget as I lost my Kalignar. I pray for his soul.

The Last #Tamil Titan has fallen. Former TN CM #MKarunanidhi was an incomparable man. #TamilNadu has lost at once its greatest contemporary political and creative enigma. Our beautiful language #Tamil will miss #Kalaignar #Karunanidhi This void he has left will take ages to fill.

His words could spark flames and light up torches of revolution. His screenplays and plays changed people and collective thinking forever. His gifts to us are eternal. His Tamizh and his wit will always be unmatched. The assembly will miss its favorite son. #RIPKalaignar
