Formed in 1952, the group has organised numerous events, including socio-political events. The group has also raised funds to provide for welfare of actors and has set up a trust fund to provide pension to select eligible retired actors. Formerly, the group was also known by its formal name, the South Indian Film Artistes' Association or "SIFAA", but the name was abandoned in order to represent television and theatre actors as well. Elections in the Nadigar Sangam are held once every three years to determine the president of the group.[1] The current president of the association is the incumbent film actor Sarathkumar, who had been elected three times since since former president Vijayakanth had stepped down in 2006. The next election, touted in the media as an unprecedented and most controversial election in the group yet, is set to be held on 18 October 2015. The last Nadigar Sangam election was held on 1 June 2012, in which the incumbent Sarathkumar had won, making it his third consecutive win.[6][1] Prior to the 2015 elections, a rift arose in between the members of the Nadigar Sangam over the issue of an area of land, which had previously hosted a building for the organisation. The existing committee, headed by Sarathkumar, had signed an agreement in 2010 to lease the land to a private company, SPI Cinemas for 30 years. In 2012, small-time actor Poochi Murugan challenged the leaders of the group, stating the decision to demolish the old building had not been ratified by the general body or the executive committee. Subsequently, the Nadigar Sangam announced legal action against the actor, which prompted the actor to hint at the incumbent, unsustainable financial dealings of the Sangam.[7] A rift formed within the Sangam and a team of predominantly younger actors, led by Vishal, opposed the leasing of the land to a private company and called for a new building to be built on the premises. His team also successfully managed to push the elections from July 15 to October 18, after getting a court order to delay proceedings. Join us on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/musiczoneofficial
