Teach boys to respect girl child and elders – Governor Narasimhan












Hyderabad, May 04:    Addressing employees of Raj Bhavan and their family members at Raj Bhavan Samskruthi community centre, in an interactive career guidance and counselling session on Saturday, Governor Sri E.S.L. Narasimhan said parents should make it a point to teach their boys how to respect the girl child and elders in the family and society. Children should greet elders and wish them and be on the right path, said the Governor. The Governor said if someone known to the family is hospitalised, children should be encouraged to visit and greet them and wish them and that such a gesture will go a long way to help the elders to recover fast.
The Governor said health is more important than wealth and if required a gym will be provided to the Raj Bhavan Parivar members in the residential complex, but yoga would be better as it is suitable to people of all ages and can be practised once in a week.
He said persons of all ages should go for evening walk, jogging and children should cultivate the habit of waking up early as fresh air is more important and vehicles should not be used for short distances but they should take a walk instead. Parents are sacrificing their comforts for the betterment of their children and it is for the children to remain grateful to the parents, said the Governor.  He said children should make newspaper reading a daily habit and visit library regularly and that Raj Bhavan should be hundred per cent literate with all employees holding minimum qualification of at least a degree. All children of Raj Bhavan employees should acquire some qualification or other and no drop outs will be tolerated, said the Governor. He said students should not aim for outsourcing jobs in Raj Bhavan or elsewhere and should not get disappointed with failures in examinations.
Parents should not put pressure on children but they should be encouraged to learn the skills in which they are interested in. Students should read employment notifications and explore all possibilities, said the Governor. He said similarly parents should keep a close watch on the movements of their children and ensure that they are not going on the wrong path like smoking or drinking. The Governor said parents should themselves maintain discipline and set an example for the children to follow. One way in which parents can build bonding with their children is by dining together and they should feel that Raj Bhavan is theirs and everyone working here should take ownership of their duties and be loyal to the job, said the Governor. He said children should be encouraged to have the ambition to excel in their field of interest. The Governor also said that children should make it a point to help their parents in the household chores. Governor said the happiness of employees of Raj Bhavan and their children is important for him and there are so many possibilities for children to explore and they should never feel let down. 
Earlier, Sri Surendra Mohan, Secretary to Governor, Sri Arjun Rao, Joint Secretary and Sri Vidyasagar, Liaison Officer have addressed the members and assured them of all support necessary to ensure that the children of the Raj Bhavan employees excel in their chosen fields.

“I have never demanded big remuneration for my films” – Yogi Babu




































Lyricist Yugabharathi said, “It’s happy to see my friend becoming a producer and Yogi Babu has been working with lot of efforts to retain the position as top league  comedian. I have worked almost all the filmmakers in the industry, but it gives me more pleasure to work with my friend Muthukumar.” 

Actress Rekha said, “When director Muthukumar approached me to play mother’s role of Yogi Babu, I gladly accepted it as I felt that there would be lots of enjoyable and fun-filled scenes. I am happy to see good receptions mounting over the teaser and trailer.”

Editor San Lokesh said, “It’s really been a great journey working in this film and if you’ve all enjoyed watching the trailer, we have avoided revealing few things. Yes, I am sure there’s lot for the audience to experience with Dharma Prabhu.” 

Director Sakthi Soundarajan said, “Producer Ranganathan was executive producer for my first film and it’s really elating to see him as producer with this movie. The grandeur that is seen in the film and the humor elements are definitely going to be a special attraction for the audiences.” 

Choreographer Viji said, “Yogi Babu has been continuously working day and night. His hard work is the only reason behind his success today. Working in ‘Dharma Prabhu’ has been an unforgettable experience as everyone on the sets would be literally happy all the times. Art director has done a great job of erecting grand sets and he was so conscious that the old styled set works shouldn’t be repeated.” 

Director Sasi said, “Usually, I don’t ask any director or assistant director about their upcoming plans and how their current projects are going on. But I was always so much concerned about Dharma Prabhu. To see the trailer having so much of fun and grandeur, I am sure, it is going to be a sure-footed winner in theatres.” 

Music director Justin Prabhakaran said, “I am an ardent fan of Yogi Babu and to work for his film is a delight… My favourite song in the film the one that comes in retro style featuring the look alike of TMS, MSV and Vaali sir. MSV’s son has crooned the song.” 

Director Muthu Kumaran said, “Yogi Babu and I have been close friends and have been roommates for a very long time. We discussed this script before many years and to see it getting materialized today is a blessing. The film is a fantasy subject based on Lord Yama and is narrated with fun filled moments. Actually, I narrated the story casually to Producer Ranganathan asking him to refer me new producers. However, he surprised me saying that he is ready to produce it by himself. Art Director has done a colossal job with his set works and the costume designing has been done greatly. My other film ‘Kanni Raasi’ featuring Vimal and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in lead role was completed in 45 days and we managed to wrap up ‘Dharma Prabhu’ in 40 days. Yogi Babu’s good hearted nature is what has made him big today. There were times, when we would wait for him to bring 300 rupees remuneration from Vijay TV ‘Lollu Sabha’ shooting and we would cook food. Today to see him successful gives us joy.” 

Producer K.E. Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green Films said, “From the day I have seen P Ranganathan sir, he has always been smiling. He is someone who keeps loving cinema and is passionate about it.” He jokingly continued to add, “ I am so happy to see Yogi Babu sharing the screen space with Rajinikanth sir. But I don’t know how he is going to react after seeing this trailer that has a funny take on him. I am sure Yogi Babu has to face the consequences during the next schedule of ‘Darbar’.”

Producer T Siva of Amma Creations said, “I just now heard our director say that Book My Show has been overcharging for internet handling fee. This is mainly due to the improper structure of Producer Council. None of their promises are fulfilled and the ones who made the promise have vanished. It’s distressing to see many producers are desolated as orphans as they don’t have proper support to offer solution to their problems. Very soon, there will be a change in the system and am sure all things will be sorted out. I am sure, many producers would have envied upon Dharma Prabhu after watching the first look. Such happens to be the fan base that Yogi Babu has acquired. Tamil cinema has always witnessed so many comedians ruling the show and now to see Yogi Babu has joined them is a big gift.” 

Producer P Ranganathan rendered a speech of few words thanking each and everyone in the team and thanking the special invitees who attended the event. 

Yogi Babu said, “The film has two heroes, one is played by me and another by Sam, which involved the earth episodes. Myself and director Muthu Kumaran have been friends for 15 years and what all he told is true. We have stayed and journeyed together in many situations with and without food. Today we are happy that our dreams have come true. Since, both Muthu Kumaran and Sam Anton both happen to be my friends, I had accepted to  shoot for both Dharma Prabhu and Gurkha at the same time that I couldn’t sleep for 45 days. The role of Lord Yama is something exceptional as we get that attitude as soon as wearing the makeup. I could feel it throughout the shooting. I am sure this film will be one among the special movies in my career. So far, I haven’t demanded any big remuneration from my producers and have always adjusted for the sake of their well being.”
