Chennai-600028, one of the real offbeat and entertaining movies in recent times, was all about friendship.

The film’s producers  SPB Charan (Capital Film Works), JK Saravana (Tantra Films, Singapore)and director Venkat Prabhu are bosom buddies, and the film’s essential storyline was about camaraderie fused over cricket and locational closeness.

So it was fitting that the film’s 100th day celebration, held in Chennai yesterday, was graced by two of the best known pals in film circuit — Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan. Adding an extra flavour to the occasion was the presence of the ever-friendly SP Balasubramaniam.

Speaking on the occasion, Rajnikanth said,” Everyman needs a mentor in his life. Equally important is a friend, who helps one to shape one’s thoughts and character”.

In fact, Rajni went on say that friends come higher in hierarchy than the wife in inter-personal relationships.

The audiences were taken by surprise when Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan occupied the stage as the invitations for the event did not carry their names.
