It looks like in next couple of years, the number of multiplexes in Chennai will run into monstrous figures. Obviously, it isn’t a wonder for Tamil film industry producers more movies annually with big difference of ratio with any other regional film industries. Following the arrival of PVR, AGS Group of Cinemas, Fame India International establishes its footmarks in theatre business now. Though Virugambakkam is known for its commercial values over the years, the idea about launching multiplexes by different groups occurred in the recent times.

However Fame National leads the race by launching 5 Screen Multiplex at Chandra Metro Hall across the busiest lane of Arcot Road in Virugambakkam. It’s hardly 5minutes drive from AVM Studios.

'Maatran' Gets Mediterranean Effect

Harris Jayaraj always prefers flying for foreign places to compose music for his films. He gets so involved with the films that he insists on accompanying the crew to shooting locales so as to give a background score with great impact.

It is worth mentioning that he had previously flown down to London with Shankar for ‘Nanban’. Naturally, the music director has seemingly impressed Shankar and his crew with his best tunes that includes a cherry-pick of having done a song with 15 international languages.

The music director will start his journey with K.V. Anand to Mediterranean seas through a cruise and will compose music for their upcoming flick ‘Maatran’ that stars Suriya and Kajal Agarwal in lead roles.
