Cine personality is not just actors as you may think Joe,
What he was meaning over there is, instead of listing 10, some were listing 3 to 4 personalities in diff deparments which comes more than 10. That is what i understand from that. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...icon_smile.gif Thanks http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...on_biggrin.gif

Until today, there are thousands of ppl who would give their life gladly for MGR and RK. And that is the ABSOLUTE truth.
