Can’t verify accuracy of all this, but here are some interesting bits of info:
Chennai, once known as Madras, is a mercantile port city in the southern equatorial tropical region. Very few tourists visit, and of the six million people who live here, only 3 percent are Caucasian.
The city of Chennai came into being due to a strategic inevitability and historical mishap. It symbolizes the rise of British power in South India by setting up and unification of the East India Company in the seventeenth century with its control center at Fort St. George in Chennai as a commercial center.
After Mumbai’s Bollywood, Chennai is the second most prolific film-making center in the country. There are more than 100 theaters, most of them showing films in Tamil but some with English subtitles.
