A coffee table book 'Paintings Of Siva Kumar' was launched today (26th Oct.) in Chennai at the Lalit Kala Academy in the presence of actor Suriya, director Vasanth, Rajiv Menon and many other distinguished guests. The book comprises of around 150 paintings of legendary actor Sivakumar.
Suriya's speech at the event!
"Dad never prefers to celebrate his birthdays. But this year, he turns 75 and we wanted to make his birthday very special. That is why we arranged this painting exhibition. Owing to the good reception, we have now decided to extend it for a couple of more days. Going forward, a painting competition will be held every year on my father’s birthday and the winner will be rewarded. After successfully orating Ramayana and Mahabharata, dad is now preparing to speak Thirukkural".
Sivakumar:
"I have no interest in celebrating my birthday. My sons have arranged this event. I always believe that a creation is more important than a creator because only a creation can last for a longer period. Thanks to both my sons and my another son Dhananjayan for organizing this event"
Please continue to inspire us Sivakumar sir!
