Vijay TV has come up with a unique "light hearted" talk show called "Neeya? Naana?" (You? or Me?)
every Sunday at 9 pm.
Polarized sections of the society debate on a topic that affects them the most and they share their
views, opinions and counter-arguments... All of which will all be presented in a stylized format.
Every week, one topic is chosen and two groups of people representing the extreme ends face each other
and discuss on the show. Apart from the general 'potta-potti' (big fight) the show will also have celebrity
visits, public polls, competitions to make it more interesting.
Stories like "Is fan-club for film stars required? Not required?", "Ghosts- do they exist or they don't?" and
more will be up for debate. The host Gopinath is all set to for the debate... Neeya? Naana?
Gopinath is the host of the show on the original Neeya Naana Vijay TV program. He is visiting
California for the very first time for this fund raiser. He is a megastar in his own right
and has won numerous awards and recognitions.
