‘Kalaignani’ Kamal Haasan is all set to foray into Malayalam films after a gap of more than a couple of decades. Continue
As a gesture to honour for ‘Ulaganayagan’ Kamal Haasan for having completed his half-a-century of tenure in the film world, The Government of India is holding a ‘Kamal Haasan Film Festival’ in the capital. Continue
A lot is cooking about Kamal Haasan’s forthcoming film with director K S Ravikumar and producer Udayanidhi Stalin, which has been tentatively titled ‘Yavarum Kelir’. And the latest buzz is that Chief Minister M Karunanidhi is penning a song for the film.
Assistant director Senthil Kumar who hails from Tambaram has filed a petition in the Madras High Court. He has stated in the petition that,” Dasavatharam which had Kamal Haasan in the lead role was released a few months back.
I have written story of this film and I had sent to Kamal by registered post. Kamal assistant Murali has acknowledged this letter. But after this they never contacted me. I told that the story of Dasavatharam is mine. They did not accept this also.
Kalpathi Agoram has produced the film Madrasapattinam. This film is directed by Vijay who earlier directed Kireedom and Poi Solla Porom. Aarya and Emmy Jackson from London are pairing in this film.
The story of this film happens in 1945. The audio launch of this film was held at the World Trade Centre at Nadambakkam. In order to bring a nostalgic feel, lots of heritage sets were erected in the Trade Centre. Some junior actors were carrying National flags and shouting slogan Quit India. On the other side women were pounding the paddy seeds while on another side Paavai Koothu took place.
I am still looking cinema with daze. Cinema is filled with daze, thrill, perturb and happiness. On the day of my film’s release I will be seeing the face of the audience. The happiness and the cheerfulness on their face is real.
I actually wanted to work as a screenplay writer. Once when I went to Modern Theatres, I happened to see Kalaignar’s script. There were so many details and nuances in it. After seeing this I postponed this matter for another six years. There are lots of things to be forgotten by an actor. But in one matter they should be arrogant. You should not respect your earlier victory. I have no respect for myself. But I very often get perturbed.
When Hollywood films like 2012 says that the world is going to come to an end, the Tamil film titled Saravana Bhava says there is no chance for the world to come to an end.
This film tells the view that with divine intervention of Kaliyuga Lord Murugan, the world will be saved from destruction. This film illustrates that there is an end for everything though there is reincarnation, black magic and voodoo.Master Kadhama Sabareeswaran dons the role of Lord Murugan.
Kamal Haasan’s daughter Shruthi made her debut as heroine in the Hindi film Luck. After this she composed music for her father’s film Unnai Pol Oruvan.
Shruthi who was concentrating in cutting albums have now turned her eyes towards Bollywood. While speaking about this, she said,” I am concentrating in composing music for South Indian language films. I also composed music for my father’s film.
After choreographing for successful songs including movies like Aadhavan (dekho song), Kanthaswamy (Excuse me song) and Tamil Padam (Oh Maha Zeeya song), actress and dancer Gayathri Raghuram seems to be turning her attention to direction.
It’s not easy stepping into Kamal Haasan’s shoes. And reprising a role that the legendary superstar did over three decades ago can be quite a daunting task for any actor. Teen heartthrob Varun Sandesh, who’s doing the 21st century remake of the yesteryear classic Maro Charitra, is not comfortable with any comparisons.
The year 2009 was a disappointing one for Kollywood stars in Tollywood, as their dubbed films Eenadu (Kamal Haasan), Mallanna (Vikram), Pista (Vishal) and Ghatikudu (Suriya) bit the BO dust.
But looks like the A-listers of K-Town have put their commercial disasters behind them and are geared up to woo the Andhra audience with a variety of films. Interestingly, besides Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan, other K-town stars who have a dedicated fan following in Tollywood are Suriya, Vikram and Vishal.
The newest entrant to the Telugu market – actor Karthi, brother of Suriya is pulling all stops to vigorously promote his new release and even showcased his multi-linguist skills by conversing in Telugu. Karthi says he’s “comfortable with Telugu” and “has dubbed” his own lines in the film. Producer Vikram Krishna is all set to release his big budget film Khilladi (Tiratha Vilayatu Pillai) with his brother Vishal in the lead. “It’s the story of a youngster who believes in the policy of picking three options before zeroing in on one. That’s the way, he chooses his ideal partner among three pretty damsels,” says Krishna.
Bharath Reddy, who played a tough police officer in Kamal Haasan’s Unnaipol Oruvan, dons the lead role in a horror-thriller titled Kala Bhairavi, directed and produced by MGR Nambi. Continue
For a long time Kamal Haasan wanted to make his mentor K. Balachandar a hero. He even had a pucca script ready for his guru. But KB sir wasn’t interested to come in front of the camera when Kamal wanted then.
But now the veteran director has started acting and has completed two films ‘Muriyadi’ and ‘Rettai Suzhi’ with the newer generation directors. This has prompted Kamal to renew his request once again to his guru and it seems the director has yielded to his most talented pupil and agreed to act in the film.
Kamal Haasan’s next will be a romantic comedy to be directed by K.S. Ravikumar for Red Giant Movies. The film is in its pre-production stage and the latest buzz is about the leading lady.
Earlier, there were reports of Tamannaah being the choice. Now the latest we hear is that our Ulaganayagan is considering Nayantara for the role. It is also said that it was Prabhu Deva who proposed this idea to Kamal.
