Looks like actor Aadhi is ever willing to extend a helping hand to those in need. First, on Wednesday, he took time off his schedule to launch, along with music director Raihanah, the theme song for Raindropss's ‘Educate a child' project.
The peppy song is aimed at creating awareness among the masses about the importance of providing education to children, especially those from the economically backward sections.
The music for the song has been composed by Girinand and its lyrics have been penned by Niranjan Bharathi, the great great grandson of the legendary Subramania Bharati. Eleven singers, including Srinivas, Priya Hemesh and V. V. Prasanna, have sung the song, which is being brought out by Raindropss, a youth team from Chennai that delivers social awareness messages to the public in the form of short films and theme songs.
Next, Aadhi is to fly to Singapore on May 27 to judge a dance competition and be part of a show being organised to inaugurate a dance school for the physically challenged.
Says a source, “Aadhi was moved when he got to know that this was for a school for the physically challenged. He intends to donate his show fee to the school.” Way to go, Aadhi!

Life's lessons
Lessons learnt from life often have a profound impact on the minds of individuals. This is especially true of directors, who're intent on sharing the wisdom they've gained with their audiences through their films. Take for instance director Ramki Ramakrishnan. The director's next film, “Idhayam Thiraiarangam,” is the outcome of the lessons he has learnt in his life.
Says Ramki: “My film showcases the ills that befall those who blindly place their faith in certain astrologers. I have chosen two newcomers for the cast who, I thought, were apt for the script. Anand plays the hero and Shwetha the heroine in the film which also highlights the problems people face when they try to build a home without incurring debts.”
