KAMALHAASAN in ||"Thoongavanam"|| Rajesh M Selva || Ghibran

[avavh3]

i would have the same feeling had the remake is from known sources and many have seen the original. this movie is not even an english movie. nobody has seen it. so leave aside that prejudice and enjoy the roller-coaster ride.

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

thats going to happen for sure! ரிலீஸ் டைம்ல அந்த கொண்டாட்ட மூட்/மனநிலை ஆட்டொமேட்டிக்கா வந்துடும்! அதாவது, படத்தை விடுங்க, ஒரு பேட்டி கூட, தலைவரைப்போல சுவாரசியமா தர யாரு இருக்கா இங்க? He IS, "T H E B E S T" Content Generator for me, in whole of India! அப்படி இருக்கும்போது, ஒரு 3 மணிநேர முழுப்படம் எப்படி நம்ம ஆர்வத்தை தூண்டாம போயிடும்?!? :D :D

If positive box office results are needed, it is best to go with someone else's story. If KH can be convinced about someone else's story only when it is already made and demonstrated in some other language, so be it. Still better.

You have a point there .. Nammavar's own scripts have only a 50-50 hit rate. The issue is connecting to all people - not just fans. VR, Dasa were big and did it but UV, MX, MA didn't.

[avavh3]

^ cant agree billu. apoorva sahodarargal, indran chandran, MMKR, TM, virumandi and many more are his brainwaves and became BB/super hit. some art based films like UV, HR, Alavandhan, guna. anbe sivam etc didnt do up to the mark in BO but widely appreciated. few like MX, MMA were forgettable films.

dont agree with 50-50 concept for KH . that can happen to any director's idea. BB/super hit/hit/ave/flop ratio of nammavar's script should be in the vicinity of 20/30/30/10/10

[Cinemarasigan]

According to some distributors Thoongavanam is going to be released on Novmber 6...

[Cinemarasigan]

Same source says it is going to be released by "Rajkamal" banner as well...

[pushpak]

Thoonga Vanam - Going to get an opening like Vetri Vizha

The BB's/Hit movies you listed out that did well are about 25 years old. If we were to go back about 10 years, even including Virumaandi, the hit rate comes to about 50%.

Among the remakes, VR, PN have done well but not as much UPO (although not a flop).

2004 Virumaandi Virumaandi Hit
2004 Vasool Raja MBBS Hit (remake)
2005 Mumbai Express Flop
2006 Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu Hit (known director)
2008 Dasavathaaram Hit (Ravi Kumar, Kamal)
2009 Unnaipol Oruvan Average (remake)
2010 Manmadhan Ambu Flop
2013 Vishwaroopam Hit
2015 Uttama Villain Flop
2015 Papanasam Hit (known director, remake)

Even extending the to 15 yrs, you'll see the same %%. Hey Ram (flop), Tenali (Hit), Aalavandhan (flop), PKS (average), Panchathanthiram (average), Anbae Sivam (flop).

70% not 50%...

His own direction films 75% success. Chachi 420 superhit. Hey Ram flop. Virumandi hit. Viswa blockbuster.

Your original point of his own written films being 50% is true for last 15 years. Dont change it.

[shwas]

How many in tamil cinema or indian cinema has attempted a story like hey ram or virumandi ?..Even Vishwaroopam is one of its kind war movie..We cannot just categorize alavandhaan or hey ram or Anbe Sivam or Mumbai express or Uttama villain..films with no direct villain into this category.. these are films if made with less salary (no kamal ) would be successful films.. this is the point he made in simply kushboo..

shwas,

We all know about his greatness and thereby his fans .. As fans, most relished even his darkest movies like Mahanadhi which incidentally is my favorite as well. My original point was about his connecting to people and giving real commercial hits inclusive of everything - with everybody profitable and happy from the theater owners to the original producers. In that category I felt in the last 10 years timeline, only 50% did it.

I'm also not sure if PKS and Panch were hits and superhits .. thought they were average grossers. I could be wrong.

Prove it with real numbers ...

[shwas]

if u claim pks or 5thiram r average then pls dont talk about box office.. 50% as writer was ur point but u r including his other hit films n calling average.. shocking billu..

there is difference between doing a film like vettaiyadu villaiyadu, dasa, vishwaroopam with clear villain in the film... even those films, u cannot simply make comparison to mass masala which r standard good vs evil... the only problem is its years now that we dont get mass film like skv r ttt from him.. just be happy we get films like vv, dasa, vr.. that's all.

I wanted to see numbers on those - PKS and Panch before we discuss further. I knew them as average. Again not adamant about its status .. just wanted to see the actuals.

Lets go back 10 years. Yes that was my point .. his movies as a writer and ghost directed ones as well. Some movies despite having directors, his influence will have overwhelmed the outcome which includes UV, MX, MA.

Not just mass masala but connecting to people ... not just fans. In some movies, its broken and invariably does not do well commercially as well. I've mentioned this in my previous post ..

in chennai P5Tricks had a very good run! I remember there was almost 75% full in a friday in dokku Kaasi theater which is almost some 50+th day. It ran for 60 days in kaasi.

But any day I would place PKS above 5Tricks :)...... Kamal is top notch when he plays innocent, good natured characters..... (not forced innocence something like in Chinna Thambi)

Initially it was reported that veteran director-writer Moulee and Kamal Haasan will join hands again for a movie.The general notion was that the film be a be Moulee directorial. But it is now reported that Rajesh M Selva will direct the Kamal and screenplay and dialogues will be penned by Moulee.



Rajesh M Selva, a long-time associate director of Kamal, recently directed Kamal's Thoongaavanam, and the wrapped the shoot a few weeks ago.

"This will be their second project. Moulee met Haasan last month and discussed about collaborating. After much contemplation, Kamal felt Rajesh could direct the script, penned by Moulee. It will be a full-length comedy film," a source told IANS.

The source added that the project may be produced by filmmaker N Lingusamy, who had also produced Kamal's Uttama Villain.



So no Crazy? Its mouli donning the dialogs and screenplay?!? hmm..

[ramdas2005]

Why kamal avoiding crazy, he would be an ideal choice for dialouges, was there any fallout between the two.

i read it at couple of sites. lets wait for official announcement. but just 98 mt may not satisfy public (excluding fans) who spend huge amount on tkt.

on personal view i would love to see tamil movies running only around 100 mt without meaningless songs disturbing the flow of movie. fingers crossed.

Glad Kamal finished the movie in rapid quick time..as the Hollywood remake shoot started in May 2015 I think...and that may not release until next year.

Is this confirmed to be a Diwali release?

Trailer is good but nothing great like others claiming. Hopefully movie is better than trailer.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

To be honest, I wasn't blown away by the trailer. It really didn't create the intrigue in me that a Kamal film trailer usually does. Added to that, the movie seems to be filled with a whole bunch of archetypical characters that we've come to associate with any action film that the industry doles out. Its never wise to count the chicken before they've hatched. So I am ready to wait till the movie comes out to pass judgement. Our guy's been in terrific form lately. So I guess this one's also going to be worthwhile.

Arvind,

you'll have check this out as a movie belonging of a very different genre - Violent and fast paced action. You'll be disappointed if you're looking at artistic touches as in UV. That said, this should have its 'Kamal' elements ingrained and keep you in edge!

Billu, I didn't watch the trailer with any preconceived notion and I don't really set a bar in terms of expectation for any movie.....Its just that this trailer really didn't get me all pumped up like how it did to my fellow hubbers.......I am eager to watch the movie though.....neo noir is a genre that I like a lot in films.....

Thoongaavanam trailer: Kamal Haasan film high on action, drama
http://www.hindustantimes.com//images/2015/5/c44ccf04-8886-4bdc-a6e1-3cc073c312e1wallpaper1.jpg
Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan shared the first trailer of his next film Thoongaavanam late on Wednesday. The 1.35 minute video clip looks interesting and we notice that most of scenes have been shot indoors. We already know that the drama unfolds through the course of a single night.

Kamal Haasan is a cop on duty and at the start of the video is seeing surveying the happenings inside a night club. The action-packed trailer also introduces us to the antagonist, Prakash Raj and the female lead Trisha Krishnan.

"In a long time, I've felt we've made a film that is totally organised with a vision," said Prakash Raj. He also added that Thoongaavanam will create a new path in the thriller genre in Indian cinema.
Trisha, who has teamed up with Kamal for the second time, said she considers herself extremely lucky to have got the opportunity. A racy thriller, the film is said to unfold in a single night in a bar called Insomnia.

The film also features Madhu Shalini, Sampath Raj, Kishore and Asha Sharath in important roles. Kamal Haasan plays a policeman, while Prakash Raj will be seen as his corrupt partner.

Directed by Kamal's long-time associate Rajesh M Selva, the film has been simultaneously made in Telugu as Cheekati Rajyam. The film has music by Ghibran.

16 மணி நேரத்தில் தூங்காவனம் டிரைலரை 4 லட்சம் ரசிகர்கள் பார்த்தனர்

கமலஹாசனின் ‘தூங்காவனம்’ படம் தமிழ், தெலுங்கு என இரண்டு மொழிகளில் வெளியாகிறது. இந்த படத்தில் திரிஷா, பிரகாஷ்ராஜ், கிஷோர், யூகிசேது, சம்பத், மது ஷாலினி, சோமசுந்தரம், சந்தானபாரதி, உமா ரியாஸ்கான், ஜெகன் உள்பட பலர் நடித்திருக்கிறார்கள்.

கமலின் திரைக்கதையில் உருவாகி இருக்கும் இந்த படத்தை ராஜேஷ் செல்வா இயக்கி இருக்கிறார். ஒளிப்பதிவு–சானு ஜான்வர்கீஸ். இசை–ஜிப்ரான், பாடல்கள்–வைரமுத்து, வசனம்–சுகா, ஸ்டண்ட்–ரமேஷ், நடனம்–ஷோபி, தூங்காவனத்தின் இசை வெளியீட்டு விழா சென்னையில் நடந்தது. இதில் பேசிய கமலஹாசன், இந்த படம் இரண்டு மொழிகளில் வெளியாக இருக்கிறது. இதுவரை ராஜ்கமல் நிறுவனம் 24 படங்களை ஒரே நேரத்தில் 2 மொழிகளில் தயாரித்து வெளியிட்டுள்ளது.

இரு மொழிகளிலும் உள்ள 14 கோடி ரசிகர்களை திருப்திப்படுத்தும் வகையில் இந்த படம் நன்றாக வந்திருக்கிறது. நல்ல படங்களை தொடர்ந்து விரைவாக தர வேண்டும் என்று முடிவு செய்திருக்கிறோம். அடுத்த படத்துக்கு தயாராகி விட்டோம். படப்பிடிப்புக்கு இடங்கள் எல்லாம் தேர்வு செய்யப்பட்டு விட்டது. இனி அடுத்தடுத்து படங்கள் வெளியாகும் என்றார்.

திரிஷா, ‘நான் கமலுடன் 2–வது முறை நடித்தது பெருமை’ என்று கூறினார். கவுதமி இந்த படத்துக்கு ஆடைகளை வடிவமைத்துள்ளார். விழாவில் பேசியவர்கள் அதை சுட்டிக்காட்டினார்கள். யூகிசேது 13 வருடங்கள் கழித்து கமலுடன் சேர்ந்து நடிப்பதாக கூறினார். இயக்குனர் ராஜேஷ் தனக்கு கமல் படத்தை இயக்கும் வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தது பெருமை என்றார்.

விழாவில் பட தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் சந்திரஹாசன், ஜார்ஜ் பயாஸ், சித்தாரா சுரேஷ்பாலாஜி மற்றும் இந்த படத்தில் நடித்தவர்கள், தொழில்நுட்ப கலைஞர்கள் கலந்து கொண்டனர். முன்னதாக ‘டிரைலர்’ திரையிடப்பட்டது. இதில் முழுவதும் கமல் கோர்ட்–சூட் அணிந்து அமைதியாக வந்து அமர்க்களப்படுத்தி இருக்கிறார்.

கிஷோர், பிரகாஷ்ராஜ் ஆகியோருடன் கமல் மோதும் காட்சிகள் ஆவேசமாக இருந்தன. 10 வயது மகனுக்கு தந்தையாக வந்த கமல், ‘என் மகனுக்கு ஏதாவது ஒன்று என்றால் உங்களை தொலைத்து விடுவேன்’ என்ற வசனம் இடம் பெற்றுள்ளது. ‘நான் சொன்னா அதை செய்வேன்’ என்று பேசும் ‘பஞ்ச்’ டைலாக்கும் இருக்கிறது.

திரிஷா வரும் காட்சிகளில் கமலை காதலிப்பவராகவும், அதை வெளிப்படுத்த முடியாதவராகவும் நடித்து இருக்கிறார். சம்பத், கிஷோர், ஆஷா ஷரத் ஆகியோரும் டிரைலர் காட்சிகளில் வருகிறார்கள். இசை பொருத்தமாக அமைந்திருக்கிறது. கமலுக்கு சமமாக பிரகாஷ்ராஜ் வருகிறார். ஒரு கார் விபத்துடன் டிரைலர் காட்சி நிறைவு பெறுகிறது.

நேற்று வெளியான தூங்காவனம் டிரைலர் ரசிகர்களிடம் பெரும் வரவேற்பை பெற்றுள்ளது. டிரைலர் வெளியான 16 மணி நேரத்தில் 4 லட்சத்து 13 ஆயிரத்து 421 பேர் யூடியூப்பில் பார்த்து ரசித்துள்ளனர்.

Trailer is Super and Apt! This is a remake. haasar wud have changed few key elements in the story. and dialogs screenplay totally written new which means this will look somewhat like a new film. all that is ok. this film will surely not only make moolaah but also will be a 100C+ easily. But still, i am not too inclined towards it. this is not a totally fresh script like Dasa or VR or UV. So, let this film have its success, but my heart will wait for Thalaivan Irukkindraan! க்காலி அங்க தான் இருக்கு ஆட்டமே! ;)

[kumarsr]

I hope it is not just violence and only violence (in the name of Action). If it is, movie will not appeal to a broader section. In the case of VR also, KH commented openly that after the transformation scene, he lost the family audience. He probably made this statement in the context of VR-2, which supposedly had all the other elements.

TV team is already stating that there will be no super-sized action scenes, everything will be very realistic etc. When making an out and out Action movie, why not take some liberties and also reduce the one dimensional focus on violence only? Hope I am proved wrong.

Very doubtful...Just finished watching the original.....While the action is grounded and not too outlandish, there is a good amount of violence especially in certain sequences....Anything lesser than an U/A would be surprising and would warrant a serious watering-down of the original content......

[Adox]

Not sure if he should be restricted that way. Something like Kuruthipunal will be just fine ... VR despite the ban and the violence wouldn't have grossed as much if people didnt throng the theaters. Also doubt if its gonna be all meaning-less violence - he would not do it.

Personally will take this any day to UV's hiranya-naadagam. Sorry, just my preference.

[ramdas2005]

@skv: Is thalaivan Irrukiran confirmed, is kamal not doing a quickie as previously stated?
For thoongavanam I guess we will have to wait, as long as it entertains and thrills that is what matters, also it was quickie...

^ From what I saw from the trailer, it looks like its going to be a faithful remake of the original. And they've got the same stunt director too if I am right.

Kuruthi was quite cynical in its content...It might have run well in a few places but overall was not a big hit. My point is: Why not do an out and out commercial movie? With an interesting screenplay, it will be a super hit.

Anyway, I am not trying to jump the gun. I will wait till TV releases and comment after watching.

Why is Thoongavanam special for Trisha?
http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/02551/Trisha_2551941g.jpg
it is her 50th film and marks her completion of 15 years in the industry.

Thoongavanam, starring Kamal Haasan, is a milestone project for Trisha. It is her fiftieth film and marks her completion of 15 years in the industry.

“It’s a huge honour for anyone to work with Kamal and for me, it’s happened two times,” said Trisha at the trailer launch of the film. The actress had earlier teamed up with the Ulaganayagan on Manmadhan Ambu.

She added, “There was one particular challenging portion during shoot – I cannot reveal what at the moment – that I could have never done without the help of Kamal sir. Also, I couldn’t have dubbed for the movie without his assistance.”

The film, directed by Rajesh M Selva, is said to be the remake of French movie Sleepless Night. It will also be released in Telugu as Cheekati Raajyam.

Yugi said TV is a family subject/story at the end of the day. yes, its a family subject ONLY at an overview and not a fullfledged. So iam not sure how well it will work beyond certain sections. In any film there has to be an underlying human element. In kuruthippunal there was lot of human emotions. இதுலயும் அதுமாதிரி ஏதாச்சும் இருக்கணும்னு நம்புவோம். whatever it is, the very imp point we need to remember abt this film is, its a filler movie thala did in very short duration. i guess even lesser than the time took for PN. So profit/BO wise there will be no issues. And just cant wait for Nov 7 where he is supposed to announce his next......

[CEDYBLUE]

I felt bad when Taken missed the legend. He would have fitted the dignified, loving and relentless dad like a T.

Now after reading the plot of Sleepless Nights in the web, I feel happy that Kamal has taken this up.

[Cinemarasigan]

During the Trailer launch speech, he told that only 40 days call-sheet will be given future movies also most of them will be under RKFI banner only.

not seeking attention but showcasing talent. someone somewhere see something and someone get something sometimes kinda stuff.

when i was working in a bank sometime ago, they had a accelerator program (something like raise in UK and accelerator in NYK) what they do is surf around internet and find talent and invest in them to create a start up then assist them going public if they're successful.. it's a win-win situation for both start up and the bank..

Thoughts on the trailer of 'Thoongavanam'

http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/02553/trailer_2553605f.jpg

The trailer of Thoongavanam suggests that the rumours about the film being a remake of Sleepless Night may well be true. There’s the bit where Trisha mentions that she knows Kamal through “Bombay NCB” (Narcotics Control Bureau). There you go; it’s about drugs, like the French film.

Meanwhile, Prakash Raj looks like he plays a tasteless (if his buttoned-down, gaudy suits and the thick gold chain are any indication) rich don, who isn’t too happy with how things are going. In one scene, he is shown storming out of a bar, escorted by henchman Sampath.

Perhaps the most important takeaway from the trailer is how much action there seems to be. Sleepless Night, when released in 2011, received high praise for its breathless action sequences. There’s even a quick reference to the famous kitchen fight in the movie, on evidence of the two-second clip that shows Kamal throwing everything but the, er, kitchen sink at Kishore, who looks menacing with his bald look and handlebar moustache. Expect to see a lot — and I mean a lot — of realistic fight sequences. Expect also to see a lot of trigger-happy gangsters and policemen. I counted at least three shots fired by Kamal. And for good reason, considering that almost everybody, including Prakash Raj, Sampath, Kishore and Trisha, don’t quite seem to be on his side. Who he does have by his side is his Panchathanthiram sidekick Yugi Sethu, who’s often seen loyally trailing behind him. Meanwhile, Kamal-regular Ghibran steps into hard rock territory with searing guitar riffs, in tune with the urban theme of the film.

A lot seems to be at stake for the protagonist, as is evident from a Taken-like moment, when Kamal calmly informs his enemies that if his son, who’s obviously kidnapped, were harmed in any manner, he’d destroy every single one of them. There’s a tiny Rajini moment when he follows that line with: “Naan sonna seiven.” And there’s some poetic irony here, considering that on the day of the trailer’s release — September 16 — the first look of Rajini’s Kabali was released. Phew, Rajini and Kamal on the same day. You can’t make these things up.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

^ Certain dialogues have actually been retained as seen from the trailer and same is the case with certain shots. This ones going to be pretty similar to the original with the length of the movie and a few additional scenes being the only changes. Not fiddling too much with the script is a good option in my opinion.

[kumarsr]

I too think there is likely to be only be small changes from the original. Do you think (given the original story), there is good box office potential for TV? Movie has generated good buzz so far...

[Arvind Srinivasan]

^Oh yes. I personally feel its an good choice for a remake. There are enough moments in the film to entertain the audience and considering its going to come along with the screen presence of Kamal, the excitement would only get amped up. I

While it is Too much reading, lets also see that ppl hav started looking nook and corner of kamal films titles font-design, poster, trailer, etc! In a way its a too good sign that ppl are very much hooked about a kamal film! In that way its a win! At same time, slowly ppl will rationally get to know what is a hidden nuance and what is not! :D

[Adox]

Kamal's movies are like that. Too many hidden nuances. I had to watch VR a second time very carefully to catch some I missed first time !! A few priceless subtleties in his expressions are also missed first time around .. Actually even PN had some of those which I missed first time ...

Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan is now gearing up with the release of his new movie, ‘Thoonga Vanam’. The film is the official remake of French movie, ‘Sleepless Night’, and it will showcase a mind blowing action movie with umpteen numbers of adrenaline rushing moments.

According to reports, the makers are planning to release the movie on November 10th as a part of Diwali. The film will have a grand premiere in United States on November 09, 2015.



AZ India, an amateur distribution company has reportedly bought the theater distribution rights of ‘Thoonga Vanam’ in United States. The distributors have bought the rights of both Telugu and Tamil versions, and this clearly indicates their confidence in returning the revenue from theaters.

Escape Artists and Cosmo Siva are trying hard to buy the theater rights of this movie in Tamil Nadu. The film is produced by Kamal Haasan himself in the banner of Raaj Kamal Films International. Rajesh M Selva, a previous associate of Kamal Haasan has directed this flick.

Apart from Kamal Haasan, the film also stars Trisha, Prakash Raj, Sampath, Yugi Sethu, Kishore and Asha Sarath in other prominent roles.

Kamal, in general, likes such a competition. So, it might happen unless Ajith backs up. Rajini usually tries to avoid that as he mostly try satisfy the producers and distributors' wishes too! :)

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

those who want to compete with kamal or fans who சிண்டுமுடிஞ்சிஃபை other actos with kamal and call it as competition, shud agree to compete with kamal in ALL THE DEPARTMENTS he had excelled, and win(!!!!!!) Else shud keep away from these silly stuff.

Just to reminder, Kamal, in his illustrious career, have many times won in BOX Office and had broken previous records. Other actors hav anytime won kamal in his talents and acting performance?!

The reason iam saying this is, there has been no instance in past that one big hero's good film was beaten by another hero's successful film. So why unnecessarily torture kamal and his fans in name of competition?!

[avavh3]

my cent: whoever may be the actor..in best interest of ppl involved (producer, distributors, actors and of course fans/film going public), it would be advisable to avoid simultaneous release of biggies on same day.

The point is more than one movie can succeed even when they are competing.

You also are saying three movies were hits on deepavali release! Thanks

[Adox]

Here's the deal .. movies released then had the luxury of parallel releases of top stars without interference as they had their own space - theaters that would host them of 150-100-200 days etc. if needed. They could still all end up hits or better. Situation now is very different .. the current day movies releases try to saturate the market space for a shorter time and hope for their break even quicker like in a week/2weeks. They would try to achieve hit/bb status in a month or couple of months. Multiple releases of big stars simultaneously would seriously jeopardize that plan. Eg. releasing Ajith and Vijay movies together will seriously affect both movies ..

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

in 80s, Aboorva Sagotharargal and Karakaattakkaaran released and both were Mega Blockbusters, both ran parallely without affecting other movies. Karakaattakkaaran was a Mega BB withn TN and AB was a Mega BB at TN, AP, KErala Karnataka North and Also Oveseas. In short, its a Global BB! Another actor's 3 movies released and departed theaters in btw the time span AB Ran!

Of course such a situation is surely not present now. Movie BO Dynamics hae heavily changed.

[thamiz]

Another actor's 3 movies released and departed theaters in btw the time span AB Ran!

So be it! :) But...It never affected BO power of "that actor" those days despite "your claim" that his movies did not do well in that short time-frame. Because it was a time only two actors dominated Tamil cinema and they had their own strong fan-base. Not many became bankrupt as the producers were rich enough to manage their loss. But today, the movie business seems to be worse than gambling. :(

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

1) 3 movies beaten by one single movie is not a normal feat!

2) no star can affect another star, only poor scripts chosen by a star will affect him. no external factors.

Actress Shruti Haasan is definitely daddy’s girl!
The highly-anticipated audio launch of Kamal Haasan’s Thoongavanam took place on Wednesday morning. Kamal Haasan’s elder daughter, Shruti Haasan, was right there beside him to cheer him on.

At the glittery audio launch of the film today in Chennai, Shruti Haasan took the stage and stated, “I am looking forward to Thoongavanam. The song sounds wonderful and I loved the trailer too! I love you Appa and am proud of you!”

Shruti has been in Chennai more often in recent months as she has been shooting for her films with Vijay and Ajith. Her film with Vijay, Puli, released last week but she is still working on Ajith’s Vedhalam. As a result she has been spending more time with Kamal, Gauthami and Gauthami’s daughter. Shruti has been posting pictures of the family bonding over a meal and otherwise.

The actress, who’s busy with Hindi, Tamil and Telugu films, also found time to attend the audio launch of Thoongavanam in Telugu at Hyderabad earlier. She was in Chennai for the Papanasam success party too. Looks like Shruti is definitely a daddy’s girl!

The fast-paced thriller will see Kamal Haasan playing an IRS officer who investigates drug lords.
The audio for Kamal Haasan's Thoongavanam was launched on Wednesday morning in Chennai with the who’s who of Kollywood in attendance. The audio launch of the Telugu version of the film, Cheekati Rajyam, took place in Hyderabad a few weeks ago.

Shot in 38 straight days, the film is directed by Rajesh M Selva, a former associate of Kamal Haasan who has worked with him on several films. The cast of the film includes Kamal Haasan, Trisha, Prakash Raj, Kishore, Asha Sharath, Madhu Shalini and Sampath.

The film's music is by M Ghibran, who has successfully done two other films with Kamal Haasan, Uttama Villain and Papanasam.

The film is a remake of the French film Nuit Blanche. The fast-paced thriller will see Kamal Haasan playing an IRS officer who investigates drug lords.

''All that I can say is Thalaivan Irukiran'' - Gautham Menon

Today, Chennai witnessed the single, the 2nd trailer launch of Kamal Haasan’s forthcoming crime action thriller Thoongavanam, at Sathyam Cinemas. Apart from Kamal Haasan, the film features Trisha, Prakash Raj, Kishore, Sampath, Yugi Sethu, Uma Riaz, Madhu Shalini and others. Most of them happened to turn up for the short and sweet event.

It was a star-studded event with actors like Dhanush, Vishal, Shruti Haasan, and Gautham Menon gracing the event. Also present were some of Kamal Haasan’s fans who were screaming for their star from scratch to finish.

An action packed 2.30 minute trailer of the film was first unveiled followed by the screening of the single track which featured the making footages. Then the celebrities were asked to share their views on the trailer and the single that was released.

Check out what the celebrities had to say about the film, trailer and also their views on Kamal Haasan.

Vairamuthu - "After watching this adrenaline pumping trailer, I am as excited like anyone of you to watch the film.” The legendary lyricist was full of praise for Kamal Haasan, sharing some of the interesting moments. He also added on saying “Kamal oru Tamizhil nadikum Ulaganayagan, his age is 60 according to the calendar, but to us he is still 30. Continue to entertain us Kamal".

Sripriya on the trailer- “Is this a Tamil film? It looks like an international film, awesome trailer.”

Dhananjayan - “Though the film was shot quickly. It doesn't look like one.”

Gautham Menon - “All that I can say is Thalaivan Irukiran.”

Vishal - "Kamal Haasan is an institution, he is one person who gives neck pain to actors like me, making us look back at him.”

Shruti Haasan - "The song sounds wonderful and I loved the trailer too! As always, I love you appa and I am proud of you.”

Trisha - "Thank you Kamal sir for the opportunity. He is one of the best human beings I know.“

Sampath - "I was initially scared of Kamal sir! But after the first day of shoot, it completely changed. The 15 days that I worked for Thoongavanam, was a very beautiful experience. And there is not a single day that went by without Kamal Haasan talking about K Balachander sir, that’s the amount of respect that Kamal sir still has on his guru.”

Dhanush - "Idhu Tamil padam illa. Kamal padam. International standards la dhaan irukkum, In the last few years, I have won some best actor awards but when I win an award from Kamal sir, only then my career will be fulfilled”.

And now coming to our Ulaganayagan, he looked super smart with a light blue shirt and ‘murattu meesai’. He individually called every single artist who worked in the film to the stage and shared one or two nice words about them. He further added, “Filmmaking is a team work. It starts with the light man to the cook. If one person messes up, the entire team is affected”.

The event ended with a thanks note from Kamal Haasan towards his fans, media and fellow celebrities who attended the event.

Get used to Father-son/daughter scenes....UV, Papanasam and now TV all have him play as a parent. But TV is more action oriented and should not have same feel as UV.

I think he is very psyched about his trip to LA. I remember vividly KH's video on the hotel balcony during VR sound recording...

[avavh3]

is there any hindi version?

[Dammy R]

Wow..superb trailer. The first one itself was very good....this one is even better. Looks like a slick fast paced action thriller. That fake heartache expression by Kamal - priceless. Eagerly waiting to watch it. Cheers!!

[dell_gt]

is there any hindi version?

nope dont think so.. only Tamil n Telugu

[Adox]

Well some NI folks were wondering (after watching the TV trailer) as to why its not made in hindi .. :)

[avavh3]

it should have been dubbed in hindi too :idontgetit: such a racy movie would surely be a profitable attempt.

[Cinemarasigan]

Rajesh must be excited and happy about the way KH giving this kind of responsibilities..

[avavh3]

the only downside of the 2nd trailer was prakash raj making the same expression again and again and again :(

[shwas]

Prakash raj dressed up like a pimp slash pub owner
