Popular Tamil film personalities Vishal, Sneha and Tamanna were among the seven eminent persons honored by Sri Kala Sudha Telugu Association on the eve of Telugu New Year in Chennai on Sunday.

Chennai Mayor M Subramanian, who presided over the function, presented a silver crown, shawl and memento to veteran Telugu comedian K Bramhanandam, who found a place for himself in the Guinness Book for having acted in a record number of films.

Others honored during the event were producers C C Reddy and C Kalyan and music director R P Patnaik.

In his address, Subramanian said though over 60-70 lakh people in Chennai spoke different languages, they lived in harmony. Both Vishal and Sneha expressed their gratitude to their fans on the occasion.
