Surya Jyotika Wedding in Chennai

The much-in-news jyotika surya affair finally ended in their wedding in Chennai today. I hope that they don't settle down in US of A sometime in the future, because if they do so, they will be celebrating their nth wedding anniversary on a day when the whole of America will be mourning the (n+5)th anniversary of the September 11 bombings.

NDTV had a huge coverage on this event. It lasted for exactly 4.2 seconds, much too less for me to run and get my camera out. Below are some pictures I got from an email forward. The whos-who of chennai seem to have been there including manorama, ajit and shalini and even our Chief Minister M.K.Karunanidhi.

Update: More pictures of their wedding (posing with other celebrities) can be found here.

Surya's younger brother Karthi (changed his name from Karthic) is to make his debut in Director Ameer's (Of Raam fame) movie, Paruthiveeran. Priya Mani is Karthi's heroine in the movie. It was supposed to have been released in July 2006, but has been delayed due to various reasons. The movie Raam was chosen for screening at the Cyprus International Film Festival in March 2006. Director Ameer along with Karthi had visited Cyprus then. Many of Amdocs' employees had gone to the screening of the movie and happened to meet Ameer and Karthi. I was introduced to them the following day as they wanted to know about places to visit in Cyprus.

I took this opportunity and took the day off and spent a day taking them to many places in Cyprus. We even visited North Cyprus and its castles. One of my friends in amdocs, Kanagaraj, also accompanied us. Karthi is not the kind of movie hero one would expect to meet. He had completed his engineering and also done his M.S in USA. In fact, many of my college friends were his seniors in M.S. I learnt a lot of photography techniques from Ameer and he was patient enough to answer hundreds of my questions of the various shooting techniques and styles. Below are some of the pictures. Btw, the guy in the yellow t-shirt is Karthi and he looks that way with that overgrown beard because the shooting of paruthiveeran was going on at that time.

Update: Paruthiveeran has been released and is declared a big hit! See more pictures of the new hero Karthi in his paruthiveeran look here.
