For the unversed, the Nadigar Sangam is located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and in 2017 the newly constructed building laid its foundation stone by veteran actors Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. Read on.

The History of The Nadigar Sangam Building

For the unversed, the Nadigar Sangam is also known as the South India Artistes’ Association. Initially, it was founded in 1952, and the sole objective of the association is to provide funds through pensions for retired actors. Apart from being a charitable organisation, the association acts as a voice for the actors who are caught in controversy, and altogether have raised voices against socio-political issues.

The process of electing a President is a tedious task where over 3000 members vote to elect the President of the association. Earlier the association was called as South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce, once when MGR decided to join the association he decided to rename the charitable trust to Nadigar Sangam. In the 1950s, it was again renamed to Indhiya Nadigar Sangam (South Indian Artistes Association). Currently, actor M Nassar is the president of the association and Vishal is the General Secretary secretary of the Nadigar Sangam.

In the year 2010, a decision was made to demolish the building and erect a new building in its place. While there was a dispute between Sarathkumar and his daughter Varalaxmi with Vishal, it finally came to an end when re-election took place and Vishal and Nassar took over the command of the building, they were the association’s General Secretary and President.
