The popular saying 'A friend in need is a friend indeed' came true at the music launch of Lingusamy's 'Paiyaa' in Chennai Sunday.

When Lingusamy asked his good friend Venkat Prabhu to host the show, the filmmaker had no hesitation in accepting the offer. And he made the evening livelier by anchoring the more than two-hours event with wit and wisecracks.

It is to be noted that Venkat Prabhu's forthcoming 'Goa' is expected to cross swords with 'Paiyaa' in the box office, as both films are apparently set to hit theatres the same time- Pongal 2010.

However, both Venkat Prabhu and Lingusamy have no issues running in mind about it and they shared a very good bonhomie at 'Paiyaa' audio launch.

A welcome trend, you can say!
