Anaida enthralls Greek president
Anaida Oova oova girl Anaida was the privileged one to meet and have a chat with the President of Greece, Constantinos Stephanopoulos, who was on his first state visit to India. Since the pop singer has Greek origins, she was among the select invitees for the reception of the Greek president at a five-star hotel in New Delhi first, and later in Mumbai. “It was a big honour for me,” said an excited Anaida. She was thrilled that the President was impressed with her song with Greece’s leading musician and vocalist, Stefanos Korkolis. The President described the song as “magical” according to Anaida. The song, a duet titled Anaida, was released in Greece last month, and has already become popular. Sung partially in Hindi and Greek, Stefanos has dedicated the number to Anaida.

 

Illayaraja springs a surprise
The stupendous success of the audio cassettes sales of Illayaraja’s score in Kathiliku Mariyathai has come as a big surprise to the audio industry. The maestro had ceased to be a favourite with the teenage crowd and it had been a long time since he had given any hit. Apart from this, the producers did not run any promos on TV or hold any launch function for the audio release. So the general opinion is what contributed to the sales of the album was the box-office success of the film. Keep it up Raja.
