Congress party general secretary Rahul Gandhi’s interaction with intellectuals in Chennai on Wednesday was dominated by film personalities.

According to sources, about 40 per cent of the 100-strong guests were from the Kollywood, including Tamil Film Producers Council president Rama Narayanan and Theatre owners association chief Abhirami Ramanathan.

Others who were present at the interaction include ‘Jayam’ Ravi, Nasser, Revathi and Rohini. Veteran journalists and experts from various other fields too interacted with the AICC general secretary at the meeting.

Stating that Rahul gave a set of assurances to the film industry, Ramanathan reportedly said issues such as video piracy, copyright and taxes featured in the interaction. “He asked us to come to Delhi,” Ramanathan said.
