New Delhi: Selvaraghavan's 'Mayakkan Enna' has opened to generally positive reviews and the film is expected to do well at the ticket window also. The director-actor duo of Dhanush and Selva are not only the blood brothers but also the creative soulmates. They have produced successful films such as 'Kaadhal Kondein' and 'Thulluvadho Ilamai' in the past and are expected to repeat the good show with 'Mayakkam Enna'.
However, Selvaraghavan is not the only person Dhanush can look up to for a suggestion. The ultimate star of Tamil cinema and Dhanush's father-in-law Rajinikanth is always there to help the talented actor.
The actor's wife Aishwarya has decided to become the director with upcoming '3' whose song 'Kolaveri Di' is already a mega success. Soundarya, the other daughter of Rajinikanth, also has two films 'Hara' and 'Kochadaiyaan' in the pipeline.
Soundarya is an animator and is not new inhe film industry. She has displayed her talents as graphic designer and producer in films like 'Chandramukhi', 'Sivaji' and 'Rana'.
The list of film personalities in this leading family of Tamil cinema does not end here. Dhanush's father Kasthuri Raja also holds a respected profile in the southern film industry.
In the Hindi film industry the Kapoor family is on top of the game once more. The Kapoors have still not lost their throne as Kareena and Ranbir are currently the most successful of the stars. But the Bachchan family is giving them a tough competition in the race to become the first film family of Bollywood.
Amitabh Bachchan has not lost his touch and Abhishek Bachchan is still signing films despite having half the success rate as compared to other stars of his age.
Aishwarya in all probability will return to the silver screen as she was on top before the entire pregnancy drama. Jaya Bachchan is choosy with the roles she picks but that does not stop her from doing occasional films.
The Bachchan family has risen to the prominence after Aishwarya's entry to the family but whether they have become the most powerful film family is still debatable.
D Ramanaidu with his sons Venkatesh and Suresh Babu has carved a niche for themselves in the Telugu film industry. Suresh Babu's son Rana Daggubati has made his debut in Bollywood with 'Dum Maro Dum' and is working with several big names of the industry. They also own one of the most prestigious studios of southern films.
Chopras are no way weaker than anyone when it comes to calling the shots. They are one of the most established names in the Hindi film industry, but they prefer to stay away from the limelight. Now with a proposed company in America, Yash Raj Films is all set to get in to the limelight all over again.
But when it comes to ruling the hearts of fans, the tug of war is between Rajinikanth's family and the Bachchans.
