Kattabomman Continues to Roar in Theatre

Such has been Sivaji-s screen magic that the film Veerapandiya Kattabomman continues to draw fans in droves 56 years after it first hit the screens. In Sivakasi, when the movie was re-released, his fans distributed sweets, burst crackers and performed aarthi to a cutout of the actor at Sivakasi Palaniandavar Theatre. There are hoardings of him everywhere near Palaniandavar Theatre, some with garlands and photos of members of his fans clubs. Every time Sivaji appeared on screen, loud cheers rent the air with most fans giving him a standing ovation. Whistles and claps rent the air for the dialogue "manjal araithu pani purindhaaya". Really the recently screened latest version Kattabomman film entertains all section of people.
