Film-maker K. Bharathiraja on Monday was unanimously elected as president of the Tamil Nadu Film Directors’ Association.
The association’s general body meeting took place in Kamala Theatre and the announcement was made after a resolution was passed to elect him as president.
“The association has always been united and will continue to function the same way. Whatever the leaders before me have done, I hope to do more and work for the welfare of the members,” said Mr. Bharathiraja. He succeeds director Vikraman, who was the association’s president for three consecutive terms.
When asked about the upcoming Nadigar Sangam or the South Indian Artistes' Association (SIAA) elections, he said his support would be for his disciple, director K. Bhagyaraj. “I am confident he has all the right qualities to lead the Nadigar Sangam,” he said.
