Jackie comes to town

Jackie Chan, the Hollywood Martial arts hero is to arrive in Chennai tonight for the music launch of Kamal Hasan’s Magnum Opus Dasavathaaram. Jackie is the star guest at the function which will host celebrities from the world of Bollywood and South India. The audio release, which is one of the biggest and most glitzy events to take place in a long time will be held at Nehru stadium, Chennai on Friday, 25th April. Jackie will be staying at the most expensive suite at the Taj Coromandel .

Producer Oscar Ravichandran is a close friend of Jackie and distributed all his English films in India, making Jackie Chan a popular name. In the late 80’s and 90’s, it was Mr. Ravichandran’s aggressive marketing that helped Chan movies to become the biggest hits. So it is payback time now and grateful Jackie is doing it in the right manner.
