Season of Star-Studded Events

2010 has been a starry season so far, with high-profile celebrities hitting town for inaugurations and grand openings. It’s been just two months & a couple of days into the new year but 7 film celebrities have already made appearances.

The first starry event of 2010 was Mammootty at the M.G. University Youth Festival.  A feverish Mammootty addressed the active youth at the Thirunakkara Maidan.

Mammootty in Town. University Youth Festival is On.

Bharath Mammootty was in town today to inaugurate the M.G. University Youth Festival 2009. The event will run till January 9th as Thirunakkara Maidan as the main stage, and 5 other  stages set up at the 3 colleges – Baselios, CMS, and BCM.

Though we couldn’t make it to the ‘press’ area through the insanely-packed crowd we did manage to absorb the spirit at the venue.
