Arasu Cable TV starts its journey from Sep 2 in Chennai
Making a suo motu statement, the Chief Minister said to begin with, the Corporation would make available to customers, 90 free channels at a monthly subscription of Rs 70. The decision to launch Arasu Cable Tv corporation marked the fulfillment of AIADMK election promise and would break the monoply in Cable TV sector, she said.
After the government decided to revive Arasu Cable Tv Corporation, about 34,344 cable operators in the State and MSOs, who had 1.45 crore connections throughout the state, joined the corporation with much enthusiasm, she said. The government would collect from these operators, Rs 20 per connection per month and the launch of Arasu Cable tv would help the public to save from Rs 70 to Rs 100 a month, Ms Jayalalithaa said. Barring Chennai, the service would be available to people in all parts of the State, she said adding the government would take steps to include pay channels also in the bouquet of channels.
Ms Jayalalithaa said the operations would be started from the existing four Heads Ends at Thanjavur, Coimbatore, Vellore and Tirunelveli and beam Arasu Cable TV signals to operators located around the radius. The government would take private Head End facilities in the remaining 27 districts on lease to expand operations across the state, she added.
She said the previous DMK regime had launched the Arasu Cable Tv Corporation in 2007 and offered more than 50,000 connections. However, due to the selfish attitude of the previous government, the number of connections came down and as on March 31, the connections shrunk to 432. Thus, the Corporation became defunct during the DMK Regime itself, she said.

In an apparent move to end the monopoly of the Marans-owned multi-crore cable TV business, state-run Arasu Cable TV corporation will start functioning from September 2.
A total of 90 channels, including pay channels would be available on this platform for a monthly fee of Rs 70, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa told the Assembly today.
Slamming the previous DMK government which started the service in the wake of split in the DMK first family involving the Marans, she said the same government which launched the service was also instrumental in it going dormant (after DMK chief M Karunanidhi and Marans patched up).
"The corporation provided 50,000 cable connections when it was started in 2007 but due to selfishness of rulers,it shrunk to 432 as on March 31, 2011,"she said in a suo moto statement.
After assuming power all efforts were taken to restructure the corporation,she said referring to appointing of a Chairman and a Managing Director as part of this.
Infrastructure like digital heads were also restructured she said, adding over 34,000 Multi-System Operators (MSO) and cable operators who possess 1.45 crore connections have joined it which will cover areas other than Chennai.
"Efforts have been taken to broadcast 90 channels through Arasu cable TV and Free To Air (FTA) channels to start with. Pay channels will be added later," she said.
While consumers will be charged Rs 70 per month, operators will have to pay Rs 20 per connection she said, adding her government's latest initiative would ensure delivery of cable services at nominal rates.
Surya not performing at 7am Arivu audio launch event
One needs a proper practice before public demonstration. Sources say that Surya has started the shooting of his next film Maatraan and he has not got enough time to hone his trapeze and juggling skills, which he learnt a couple of months ago.
The 36-year-old actor spent a major part of last year preparing for his role as a circus artiste and he was intended to put up a public show of his newly-acquired skills to prove they are authentic. Surya had learnt the art of walking the trapeze, blowing fire out of his mouth and juggling with six balls
The audio launch function of 7 Aum Arivu will be held in a grand manner on September 22.
Sun Pictures gamble with Mankatha
With a big ticket Tamil film titled after this game, Sun Pictures, the film production arm of Sun TV Network, is taking a calculated gamble to re-establish itself as a front-runner in releasing big budget movies in the state.
Sun Pictures has taken over the entire rights of Ajit-starrer, Mankatha and is releasing it today (Already released in few countries), to cash in on the long-festival five-day weekend starting with Ramzan. “It is going to be a very very big release in both the domestic and overseas markets. This is also the first film of Ajit, which Sun Pictures will be distributing,” Vijay Kumar, CEO, Sun TV Network Ltd told Financial Chronicle.
This will also be the first time; Sun Pictures is directly releasing a movie, after the AIADMK, under chief minister J Jayalalithaa, came to power in May this year. Soon after, Sun Pictures COO, Hansraj Saxena was arrested and jailed, following a series of police complaints — for cheating and threatening from a few distributors and producers.
Until a tiff in mid-2007 with the then ruling DMK’s first family, Sun TV Network had limited itself to buying satellite rights of Tamil movies. However, starved of fresh content, the leading Tamil television channel was forced to enter film production and distribution business, as a natural extension, soon after and had acquired and released several big budget movies since then.
Sensing a business opportunity, two grandsons of former state chief minister, M Karunanidhi — Udayanidhi Stalin, son of former deputy chief minister, M K Stalin, and Dayanidhi Alagiri, son of Union Minister, M K Alagiri, also forayed into film production under the banners — Red Giant Movies and Cloud Nine Movies, respectively.
Sun Pictures, Red Giant and Cloud Nine were very active over the past couple of years and all big films came into their kitty, independent of each other. With assured supply of big film content, each one of them also held sway over a chain of theatres across the state, which lend credit to a debate over the ruling family’s control over the Tamil film industry.
“With negotiations and settlements resulting in withdrawal of a few complaints, Sun has put in a new team in place to get back into film distribution. It is also a fact that no other film banner in the state has the money power or a 360-degree marketing capability as that of Sun Pictures,” an industry insider said.
Interestingly, Dayanidhi Alagiri’s Cloud Nine is the original producer of Mankatha. However, fearing opposition from theatre owners, who might force their way to off-set part of their losses accrued from Cloud Nine’s earlier movies, Dayanidhi handed over the rights to Sun Pictures.
