விகடன் மேடை - கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார் பதில்கள்

''கமல்ஹாசனின் படம் என்றாலே, அதில் இயக்குநர் 'பெயர்’ மட்டுமே போட்டுக் கொள்ளலாம். படம் முழுவதும் அவருடைய ஆதிக்கம்தான் இருக்கும் என்று கூறுவது உண்மைதானா?''
''பொய்! அவரைப் பத்தின தப்பான புரிதலில் இதுவும் ஒண்ணு. அவரே ஒரு ஹிட் டைரக்டர்தான். 'தெனாலி’, 'தசாவதாரம்’ படங்களையும் அவரே டைரக்ஷன் பண்ணியிருக்கலாமே! என்னை ஏன் கூப்பிடணும்?
'தசாவதாரம்’ல என் வேலை என்னன்னு அதில் வேலை பார்த்த எல்லாருக்குமே தெரியும். ஆனா, 'தசாவதாரம்’ கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார் படம் இல்லை. 'சேரன் பாண்டியன்’, 'நாட்டாமை’யை வேணும்னா நீங்க 'கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார் படங்கள்’னு சொல்லலாம்.
பெரிய ஹீரோ நடிச்சா, அது அவங்க படம்தான். அப்படி கமல் சார் நடிக்கிற படங்கள் அவர் படம்தான். ரஜினி சார் நடிச்சா, அதை எந்த இயக்குநர் இயக்கினாலும் அது ரஜினி சார் படம்தான். ஏன்னா, அந்த ஹீரோக்களோட இன்வால்வ்மென்ட் அந்தப் படங்களில் பெருசா இருக்கும்; இருக்கணும். அது இல்லைன்னாதான் தப்பு.
டிஸ்கஷன்ல உதவி இயக்குநர் ஒருத்தர், சஜஷன் ஏதாவது சொன்னா கேட்டுக்கிறோம். கமல் சார் சொன்னா கேட்கக் கூடாதுனு நினைச்சா, நமக்கு 'திமிர்’, 'ஈகோ’னு அர்த்தம்.
'கிரேன்’ மனோகர்னு ஒரு நடிகரை உங்களுக்குத் தெரியும். அவரோட அண்ணன் குணா. அவர் என்னோட எல்லாப் படங்களிலும் கூடவே இருப்பார். கிரேன் ஆப்பரேட்டர். கேமராமேன் பக்கத்துலயே நின்னுப்பார். 'இப்ப எடுத்தது எப்பிடிடா இருக்கு?’னு குணாகிட்ட கேட்பேன். யோசிக்க மாட்டான், 'சுமார்தான் சார்’ம்பான். நானும், 'ஒன்மோர் சார்’னு சொல்லிடுவேன். குணா பேச்சைக் கேட்கும்போது கமல் சார் பேச்சைக் கேட்க மாட்டேன்னா, அது என் தப்புதானே தவிர, கமல் சார் தப்பு கிடையாது.
ஹீரோக்கள் சஜஷன் சொல்லணும். அப்படிச் சொன்னாத்தான் அவங்க அந்தப் படத்துல இன்வால்வ் ஆகி இருக்காங்கனு அர்த்தம்!''

''ஒரு படம் சக்சஸ் ஆகும்னு எப்படிக் கண்டுபிடிப்பீங்க?''
'' 'அவ்வை சண்முகி’ல டான்ஸ் மாஸ்டர் பாண்டியன், மடிசார் மாமி அவ்வை சண்முகினு கமல் சாருக்கு ரெண்டு கெட்டப். அவர் 'பாண்டியன்’ கெட்டப்ல இருக்கும்போது அவர்கூட நல்லா க்ளோஸா நின்னு பேசுவேன். 'அவ்வை சண்முகி’ கெட்டப் போட்டுட்டார்னா, கொஞ்சம் தள்ளி நின்னுதான் பேசுவேன்.
ஒருமுறை அப்படித் தள்ளி நின்னு 'அவ்வை சண்முகி’கிட்ட சீன் சொல்லிட்டு இருந்தேன். அப்போ 'சண்முகி’யோட முந்தானை லேசா விலகி இருந்துச்சு. எனக்குச் சங்கடமாகிருச்சு. ஸ்க்ரிப்ட் பேடை குனிஞ்சு பார்த்துப் பேச முடியலை. கொஞ்சம் தள்ளி வந்து, காஸ்ட்யூமரை வரச் சொல்லி, 'முந்தானையைக் கொஞ்சம் சரி பண்ணுங்க’னு சைகையாலயே சொன்னேன். அதைப் பார்த்துட்டு சிரிச்ச கமல் சார், 'படம் சக்சஸ்ங்க. முந்தானை விலகினது உங்களுக்குக் கூச்சமா இருக்குதுனு சொன்னா, அப்ப அந்த கேரக்டர் க்ளிக் ஆகிடுச்சுனுதானே அர்த்தம். சண்முகி சக்சஸ் ஆயிட்டா’னு சொன்னார்.
இப்படி எல்லா சக்சஸ் படங்களுக்கும் பட வெற்றிக்கான சிக்னல்கள் ஷூட்டிங் ஸ்பாட்லயே கிடைச்சிரும்!''

Rajni before Kamal and Mammotty before Mohan Lal

As we all know, Mohan Lal's latest super hit and also one of the highly acclaimed film Drishyam is going to be remade in Tamil. Jeetu Joseph who directed the original Malayalam version will also be handling the Tamil version with Kamal Haasan playing the lead role.

Earlier Jeetu was quoted in media reports saying he wanted Superstar Rajinikanth to act in the Tamil remake. Rajinikanth who watched the film was highly impressed with the film. But a scene in which Mohan Lal was beaten up by a Policeman and the former not hitting back till the end made Rajini not to accept the offer to star in its remake. Rajini felt that such a scene would not go well with his audience and also he did not prefer changing it for his sake. Only then Jeetu showed the film to Rajini's good friend cum competitor Kamal who accepted to star in the Tamil remake.

Now the Interesting news that has recently emerged about Drishyam is that Mohan Lal himself was not the initial choice for the lead character 'George Kutty' in the film. Jeetu Joseph had initially narrated the script to Lal's senior and equally popular star Mammotty who felt the Mohan Lal will be the perfect choice for the lead role in the film.

With this it can be interpreted that only on Mammotty's withdrawal and voluntary suggestion Mohan Lal was approached for the role but what has to be noted is the comradire shared by the two stars who are still competitors in Malayalam film industry.

What stops Hari from approaching Kamal?

After delivering the blockbuster hit film Singam 2, director Hari has started his next with Vishal and Stuhi Haasan titled as 'Poojai'. The director has promised that Poojai will be a triangular action flick and also a better version of the films he has made so far.

In a recent interview the director has expressed his wish to work with all mass heroes but added that he gets nervous whenever he thinks of working with 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan. "Kamal knows everything (about cinema). I will be skeptic of my ability answer the questions he would pose. I will meet him only when I complete a script that does not require him to question anything", the director has said.

To another questions the 'Saamy' director has revealed that he never watches international films and he will not watch even Tamil films while his films are in progress.

கோச்சடையான் கமல் நடிக்க வேண்டிய படம்: ரஜினிகாந்த் பேச்சு


ரஜினிகாந்த் 2 வேடத்தில் நடித்த ‘கோச்சடையான்’ படம் 4 மொழியில் தயாரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. ரஜினிகாந்தின் மகள் சவுந்தர்யா டைரக்ட் செய்துள்ளார். ‘கோச்சடையான்’ படம் ‘விக்ரம் சிம்மா’ என்ற பெயரில் தெலுங்கில் ரிலீஸ் செய்யப்படுகிறது. இதன் பிரிவியூ காட்சி வெளியிட்டு விழா ஐதராபாத்தில் நேற்று நடந்தது.

விழாவில் நடிகர் ரஜினிகாந்த், மனைவி லதா, மகள் சவுந்தர்யா ஆகியோர் கலந்து கொண்டனர். ரஜினியின் மனைவி லதா விழாவில் கவுரவிக்கப்பட்டார். விழாவில் ரஜினிகாந்த் பேசியதாவது:–

எனக்கு சினிமா பற்றிய டெக்னாலஜி எதுவும் தெரியாது. சினிமா எப்படி எடுப்பார்கள் என்றுகூட தெரியாது. இருந்தாலும் டெக்னாலஜிகளுடன் கூடிய படத்தில் நடித்துள்ளேன். 2½ ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு நான் நடிக்க வேண்டிய படம் ‘ராணா’. அந்த படம் எடுக்கும்போது எனக்கு உடல் நலக் குறைவு ஏற்பட்டது. டாக்டர்கள் படத்தில் நடிக்ககூடாது. ஓய்வு எடுக்க வேண்டும் என்று கூறிவிட்டார்கள்.

‘ராணா’ படம் ரூ.100 கோடி பட்ஜெட்டில் உருவாக இருந்தது. சண்டை காட்சிகள் உண்டு. ஆனால் டாக்டர்கள் சண்டை காட்சியில் நடிக்க கூடாது. எந்தவிதமான ரிஸ்க்கும் எடுக்ககூடாது என்று கூறியதால் அந்த படம் நிறுத்தப்பட்டது.

இந்த நேரத்தில்தான் லட்சுமி கணபதி பிக்சர்ஸ் சுப்பிரமணியம் என்னை தேடி வந்து கோச்சடையான் படம் பற்றி கூறினார். எனது மகள் சவுந்தர்யா டைரக்டர் செய்கிறாள் என்பதால் இதனை ஒத்துக்கொண்டேன். கடந்த 2½ வருடமாக கஷ்டப்பட்டு சவுந்தர்யா இந்த படத்தை எடுத்து உள்ளார். இந்த படத்தை 2 டியில் பார்த்தேன். 10 நிமிடம் பார்த்தபோது பெரும் ஏமாற்றம் அடைந்தேன்.

உயிரோடு இல்லாதவர்களை வைத்துதான் அனிமேஷன் படம் எடுப்பார்கள். ஆனால் நான் உயிருடன் இருக்கும்போதே என்னை வைத்து அனிமேஷன் முறையில் படம் எடுத்ததை பார்க்கும்போது எனக்கே ஒருமாதிரியாக இருந்தது. ஆனால் 10 நிமிடத்துக்கு பிறகு கதையின் போக்கு என்னை அதில் ஒன்றிப்போகச் செய்து விட்டது.

அனிமேஷன் என்று தெரியாமல் கதாபாத்திரத்துடன் ஒன்றி படத்தை ரசித்தேன். ஆனால் ‘கோச்சடையான்’ கமலஹாசன் நடிக்க வேண்டிய படம். கமல் என்னைவிட சிறந்த நடிகர். சினிமா டெக்னாலஜி பற்றி நன்கு தெரிந்தவர். ரோபோ, விக்கிரம் சிம்பா போன்ற படங்களை அவர் செய்ய வேண்டிய படங்கள். டெக்னாலஜி தெரியாத நான் நடித்தது கடவுள் தந்த பரிசாக கருதுகிறேன்.

இவ்வாறு ரஜினிகாந்த் பேசினார்.

விழாவில் தாசரி நாராயண ராவ், ராமநாயுடு, நடிகர் மோகன் பாபு உள்பட பலர் கலந்து கொண்டனர்.

Though Nammavar always keeps dignified silence on allegations, I think occasionally he should open up and clarify !

What is he saying?

In summary he says that Kanden Seetaye was shelved suddenly after 9 days of shooting. Kamal gave no explanation and avoided BalachandraMenon. Later Kaml used that theme for Avvai Shanmukhi. Desire for "Fame" is a devil in film industry.

:(

He seems to say that someone with political power and desire for fame in cine industry was behind his movie being shelved. He says that he never met Kamal after that but he saw only the 'avvai shanmuki' movie. I am not sure if he means his idea was used in the movie, or if he is hinting at something else. BTW, his story has a girl disguising herself as a boy.

No no.. it was clear what he meant.

He said that the desire for power in politics and the desire for fame in cinema are similar.. both are so "devilish".
When he was asked whether he saw Kamal later, he said (with an expression which talks a lot) that he "saw" Avvai shanmukhi.

[Adox]

In summary he says that Kanden Seetaye was shelved suddenly after 9 days of shooting. Kamal gave no explanation and avoided BalachandraMenon. Later Kaml used that theme for Avvai Shanmukhi. Desire for "Fame" is a devil in film industry.
:(

I'm not sure I understand what he's referring to here. Everybody knows that Avvai Shanmukhi was inspired by Mrs. DoubtFire and completely Indianized to suit local audiance. How does this kanden seetaiyai or whatever get to this ? Was he inspired by the same movie (Mrs. DoubtFire) in the first place ...

Theme ofcourse was similar. But the point I want to bring is (or question rather) why Kamal always keeps silence !
Actually Balachandramenon later acted in a very similar movie like Avvai Shanmukhi !! (The difference was that he had 3 daughters and he came as an old man to assist - not as a lady)

I would think he responds to ones that he thinks are worth his time and needed clarification. An example here would be his immediate response to allegations that he 'copied' the uttama-villain avatar from a French artist. His response was that nobody really owns a cultural and a traditional makeup that is prevalent in a society for centuries. That appeared to have silenced the critics. In this case however it seems rather obvious that his inspirations came from another source and not Balachandramenon! Unless I got it wrong ...

[pushpak]

Ya.. debatable.. when a highly respected film personality makes such a public allegation... ya.. nothing wrong in keeping silence..
But if we ignore the internet community (+ some minority count) who knows about Mrs. Doubtfire?
But Kanden Seetaye theme is same and the malayalam version was a super hit !!!
If nammavar does not care.. then why should we ? :)
But when that guy was imitating (mimicing) how Kamal spoke, I felt very bad.

[kumarsr]

No one can know what exactly transpired, for sure. I doubt though someone will make a public allegation unless there is "some" truth.

The world may seem them as rivals in the profession, but Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan are the best of buddies who stand by each other through thick and thin (remember Rajini's support for Kamal during 'Vishwaroopam' trouble?). 'Kochadaiiyaan' hit the silver screen world wide on Friday and has thus been receiving positive feedback from every corner. It was arranged for Kamal Hassan to watch the film at a special show, as organised by Soundarya Rajinikanth and the actor enjoyed watching the movie. Congratulating everyone on the success of the movie and also noting that they have performed well, Kamal specially congratulated Soundarya to have brought the new concept to Tamil audience and Indian cinema at large.

Watched 'Meendum Gokila' recently. Simple story with a neat ending .. Sridevi simply excelled overshadowing everyone else! I believe she received a Filmfare Award in the Best Actress category for her role. A talented actress that she is, her career graph took off and she moved on to Hindi. Guess her acting skills was never spoken of after that.

I was surprised to note that the actor who plays her cousin is none other than the late 'omakuchi' narasimhan. Could have been in his 30's and just didnt recognize him !

We all know that Padma Bhushan actor Kamal Haasan will be acting in the Tamil remake of Malayalam Superstar Mohan Lal's super hit film 'Drishyam' in the near future. Now news about Kamal remaking another Mohan Lal film has started spreading haywire.

Mohan Lal is currently acting in the Malayalam film 'Peruchazhi' that is being directed by Arun Vaidyanathan of 'Achamundu Achamundu' fame. The film is progressing in the US and 60% of the shoot has been completed. Now it is being said that Kamal Haassan has expressed his interest to remake 'Peruchazhi' in Tamil.

Director Arun has denied this saying that nothing has come out from Kamal about the remake. The director said that though Kamal Haasan knows the script of 'Perchazhi' he has not yet spoken anything about remaking it. The director was however quick to add that he was a big fan of Kamal and will be more than happy to work with him on any day.

Kamal Haasan, for the first time in 20 years ...

Ulaganayagan fans have a chance to rejoice. In his own words, for the first time in 20 years, Kamal Haasan has two movies that are almost ready to release at the same time – Uttama Villain, directed by Ramesh Arvind, and Vishwaroopam 2, directed by Kamal himself.

While Uttama Villain’s 21st century portions are done, the shoot for its 8th century portions are going on in Chennai. And, the post-production work of Vishwaroopam 2 is going on in full swing, and will be completed soon.

Meanwhile, it is said that the actor is also working on his remake of the Mohanlal starrer Drishyam.

http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-14/kamal-haasans-first-time-in-20-years.html

Lets hope everything goes well ...

[Adox]

''Marudhanayagam can be revived any moment'' ...

Marudhanayagam is a film which is close to every Indian cinema fan's heart. Kamal Haasan started this period magnum opus at a time in the mid-1990s when VFX works weren't that prominent in Indian cinema. A lot of junior artists numbering in the 1000s were involved in the movie and extensive costumes and make-up had to be used for all these junior artistes. Kamal couldn't proceed beyond a point due to budget constraints and also the aforementioned VFX drawbacks prevalent then.

But now, the Ulaganayagan has plans of reviving the movie and it may happen as early as next year. We hear that he had shot about 25% of the movie back then. In a recent interaction with fans, this is what Kamal had to say to a poser on reviving Marudhanayagam.

"Even I want to know when it will happen. Unfortunately, I won’t get the budget from local producers here. It is not a local film, but a film to be made in three languages — Tamil, French and English. But, it can be revived any moment."

This is one film which would surely be worth the long wait!

[eehaiupehazij]

Recently I watched a malayalam movie Drishyam starring Mohanlal. A fantastic movie that can be done by Kamal only if remade in Tamil. All the characters in that movie have been carved carefully and all the supporting actors particularly the police constable Sahadevan's role is a scene stealer! I will be happy if the rumour that Kamal is going to act in Drishyam remake is true. But one thing... there are no stunt scenes... Mohanlal is getting beaten by the constable frequently. Kamal is beyond all these image building...we know. Sure Kamal can still refine this character and make Drishyam in Tamil a worthy movie

[Adox]

Yes, we are expecting Kamal to excel in this role. Getting thrashed is nothing for him .. has been through it many times. Is it Time for a new Drishyam Thread ??

Finally its going to be Gauthami putting all rumors to rest.

'Drishyam' remake to have Nellai background

The Padma Bhushan Kamal Haasan will be starring in a remake film after a gap of four years after completing his current projects 'Uttama Villain' and 'Viswaroopam II'. As it has been reported earlier, the veteran actor will take up the Tamil remake of Malayalam super hit film 'Drishyam' to be directed by Jeetu Joseph, who directed the original with Mohan Lal and Meena in lead roles. The film is expected to go on floors in September.

While Kamal will reprise the role played by Mohan Lal, so many speculations on who will replace Meena in the Tamil remake have done the rounds right from the day the project was announced. There were also reports suggesting that Gauthami, one of the leading heroes of late 80's and 90's will be making a comeback, playing the wife of Kamal Haasan in this film. Now sources reveal that Gauthami being cast for the role is certain.

It is said that Kamal and Gauthami will be acting as a couple from Thirunelveli. It is to be remembered that Mollywood Superstar and Meena acted as a middle class Christian couple living in a rural locality in Kerala.

If this is true, we can be assured of the original Thirunelveli (Nellai) dialect of Tamil being spoken by in the film by 'Mr.Perfect' Kamal Haasan.

Vetri Vizha - one of the most re-released films of Kamal, probably due to the large number of stunt sequences & thrill-a-minute first half. The other frequently re-released movies are Sigappu Rojakkal, Vikram, Khaki Chattai & Tik Tik Tik.

VV - Post interval, especially after the flashback, the script goes downhill. Janagaraj's sermon and the entire sequence which lead to 'Vaanamenna Keezhirukku' is a torture. Prathap Pothen's amateurish direction skills are evident in these scenes, as well as those involving Radha Ravi (thoppai joke), SS Chandran (is this the only movie he did with Kamal?), and the fake kidnap preceding 'Poongatru' song. Prabhu fans were quite disappointed with his role.

Pluses - Kamal in a no-nonsense character, Superfast screenplay in the first half, Interval block which gives goosebumps to Kamal fans, the stunt scenes - with Vikram Dharma inside the elevator, clash with Samudram and the scenes involving Zinda are all top class. Illaiyaraja's haunting BGM is a major plus. IIRC, the audio of VV was a platinum jubilee hit & the movie itself crossed 100 days, making it a success in A, B and C centers. But it was released along with the more family-friendly Maappillai which became a silver jubilee hit.

Triple treat for Kamal Haasan fans?

Kamal Haasan‘Ulaga Nayagan’ Kamal Haasan is currently the busiest artist than others. The sequel of Vishwaroopam is almost done except few patch works. Post production is taking place in full swing and the action thriller is expected to hit the screens worldwide in few weeks. Kamal’s another short time project Uthama Villain directed by his close friend and popular artist Ramesh Aravind is in final stage. The film will be ready for release after Vishwaroopam II.

The ace actor has also signed for the Tamil remake of Drishyam – a mega hit Malayalam movie directed by Jeethu Joseph. According to Suresh Balaje of Wide Angle Creations the shooting is planned for mid of July this year immediately after the completion of Uthama Villain. The team is planning to wrap up the movie in single or two schedules at the maximum. Currently the crew members are searching for apt locations which is expected to be completed in a week’s time.

Possibilities are high for the release of three Kamal Haasan films in the year 2014 which is a rare thing in Tamil cinema in recent years for a leading actor.

Sai Gokul Ramani, who debuts as a director with ‘Valeba Raja’ was a former assistant of director K.V.Anand and hence the latter was one of the chief guests of the audio launch that was held recently in Devi Cineplex, Chennai. The ‘Ayan’ and ‘Ko’ director shared the dias with ‘Ulaganayagan’ Kamal Haasan.

While speaking at the event Anand spoke about his upcoming venture ‘Anegan’ that stars Dhanush and Amyra Dasthur in the lead role. As we all know Dhanush will be appearing in four different getups in the film. The director revealed that one among them will resemble the hairstyle of Kamal Haasan in ‘Tik Tik Tik’.

The director further revealed that a particular portion in the film happens in 1987 and he wanted his assistant directors to take reference from Kamal Haasan films of 1987. However the multi-talented actor had sported the looks of 1990’s in the 1987 films so they had to go back to the 1981 film ‘Tik Tik Tik.’

Don’t we all know that the legend always thinks way ahead of his times.

Actor Kamal Haasan was the chief guest for the audio launch event of ‘Vaaliba Raja’ that happened in Chennai this week. The film stars Sethu, Santhanam. Vishaka Singh and Nushrath Barucha in lead roles and has been directed by Sai Gokul Ramani.

Santhanam could not attend the event since he was busy with shooting. This seems to have irked Kamal since it was Santhanam who invited the senior star by making a personal visit. It is seen as a rude behavior by the comedy star for not attending a function after inviting a veteran for it.

Santhanma skipped the audio launch since he was shooting for Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming film ‘Lingaa’ in Hyedrabad.

கமல் கோபம்... மன்னிப்பு கேட்ட சந்தானம்!

வாலிப ராஜா படத்தின் இசை வெளியீட்டுக்கு வராத அதன் ஹீரோ சந்தானம் மீது கமல் கோபம் கொண்டதால், அவருக்கு போன் செய்து மன்னிப்புக் கேட்டுள்ளார் சந்தானம். சமீபத்தில் சந்தானம் நடித்த வாலிப ராஜா படத்தின் இசை வெளியீட்டு விழா சென்னை தேவி திரையரங்கில் நடந்தது. விழாவுக்கு சிறப்பு விருந்தினராக கமல் வந்திருந்தார். சந்தானமே நேரில் வந்து அழைத்ததால் அவர் வந்திருந்தார். ஆனால் விழாவின் நாயகனான சந்தானமோ நிகழ்ச்சிக்கே வரவில்லை. லிங்கா படத்தில் ரஜினியுடன் நடித்துக் கொண்டிருந்ததாகக் காரணம் கூறினாராம்.

இது கமலுக்கு பெரும் கோபத்தைத் தந்துள்ளது. அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில் சந்தானம் குறித்து ஒரு வார்த்தை பேசாத கமல், விழா முடிந்ததும் தன் கோபத்தை நேரடியாகவே காட்டிவிட்டுச் சென்றாராம், தயாரிப்பாளரிடம். 'சந்தானம் நேரில் வந்து கேட்டுக் கொண்டதால் நான் வந்தேன். அவரோ தன் ஷூட்டிங்தான் முக்கியம் என்று நின்றுவிட்டாரே'என்றாராம். விஷயத்தைக் கேள்விப்பட்ட சந்தானம், உடனே கமலுக்கு ஹைதராபாதிலிருந்து போன் செய்து பேசியுள்ளார். தன் நிலைமையைச் சொல்லி, மன்னிப்புக் கேட்ட பிறகே, கமல் கொஞ்சம் அமைதியானாராம்!

சமீபத்தில் வாலிப ராஜா பாடல் வெளியீட்டு விழாவில் கலந்து கொண்ட கமலிடம், நடிகை தேவதர்ஷினி ஓப்பனாக வாய்ப்பு கேட்டது ரொம்பவே சுவாரஸ்யம். ‘நான் அஜீத் விஜய்கெல்லாம் கூட அக்கா அண்ணியா நடிச்சுட்டேன். ஆனால் கமல் சாரோடதான் நடிக்கல. அண்ணியா கூட நடிக்க தயாராக இருக்கேன். அதுவும் இல்லையா? ஃபன்னியா ஒரு கேரக்டர் கொடுங்க. நடிக்கிறேன். சேர்ந்து நடிக்கணும் அவ்வளவுதான்’ என்று கூறிவிட்டு அமர, தான் பேசும்போது இதற்கு பதிலளித்தார் கமல்.

‘என் அண்ணன் சாருஹாசனோட பொண்ணு எனக்கும் மகள்தான். அவரே எனக்கு அம்மாவா ஒரு படத்தில் நடிச்சுட்டார். கஸ்துரி கூட எனக்கு மகளாக நடிச்சிருந்தார். அதனால் இங்க அண்ணியோ, அக்காவோ கதைக்கு தேவைப்படுற ஒரு கேரக்டர் வந்தால் போதும். உங்களுக்கு நிச்சயம் வாய்ப்பு இருக்கு. என் மகளா கூட நீங்க நடிக்கலாம். யார் கண்டது’ என்றார் கமல்.

Kamal Haasan to do a Telugu film?

Kamal Haasan is currently busy with Uttama Villain being directed by Ramesh Arvind where Pooja Kumar, Andrea and many others are featured alongside him. It is said that his Vishwaroopam 2 will hit the screens only after Uttama Villain.

In the interim, there are talks going on in the industry that Kamal will be doing a Telugu film. Clarifying on this, the Manmadhan Ambu hero says, “While it is true that I am in talks with some Telugu directors, I am yet to sign any project”. He also added that in case he does a Telugu film, his home banner Raj Kamal films will produce the same.

But Kamal-Sridevi combo konjam thani dhan. From Sigappu Rojakkal's ninaivo oru paravai/Oru minminikka song through later movies like Varumaiin-Niram-Sigappu, their chemistry was terrific esp. in Sippi-Irukkudhu song!

Kamalhassan is on a acting spree. He's already shouldering too much of responsibilities to complete 'Viswaroopam 2' and 'Uthama Villain'. He has never missed solid scripts from other languages. One could recall his roles of 'Vasool Raja' from 'Munnabhai' and 'Unnaippol Oruvan' from 'A Wednesday'. The moment 'Drishyam' started to make all the right noises across the country he showed keen interest to do the role of 'George Kutty'. The remakes in Kannada and Telugu has already received warm welcome from their respective audience.

As reported earlier, the script of the film will go in for minor changes suiting the taste and preferences of Tamil audience and Kamal himself will be discussing and finalizing the changes along with the director. Drishyam's official remake rights sold like hot cakes to other languages as well. But the director chose to redo his duties only for Tamil. Gauthami is touted to play the role which Meena performed to finesse in original. The official announcement regarding the same is awaited.

Kamal & Gauthami has displayed their skills together in 'Thevar Magan', 'Kuruthipunal', 'Nammavar', and 'Apoorva Sagodharargal'. The return of this romantic duo will be very interesting if they decide to frame love one more time.

I'm interested in knowing who would play the 2 cops - the lady and the inspector. It would be good to see Kamal acting with stars out of his close circle. Nadhiya as the lady cop would be good. Hope he doesn't bring in Urvashi again.

தீபாவள் ரிலீஸ். கொண்டாட்ட நேரம். எதிர்புறத்தில் தளபதி. அதுவும் இரு பெரிய நட்சத்திரங்களின் கூட்டணி..

ஏகப்பட்ட எதிர்பார்ப்புடன் அரங்கினுள் நுழைந்து நாயகனின் முதல் தரிசனம் இந்தமுறை எப்படிப்பட்டவிதத்தில் பிரமாதமாக வரப்போகிறது என எதிர்பார்த்திருந்தால் கடைசியில் இதுதான். பெருந்திரளான ரசிகர்களை அவர்கள் போக்கில் குஷிப்படுத்திக் கொண்டிருக்காமல் தனக்குப் பிடித்ததையே ரசிகர்களுக்கும் விரும்பி எற்றுக்கொள்ள வைத்த, கதைக்காகவே வாழ்ந்த/வாழும் வரலாறு.

அந்த நேரத்தில் இரு எதிரெதிர் படங்களையும், ஆர்ப்பரிக்கும் தளபதியின் பாடல்களோடு குணா பாடல்களையும், ரசிகர்களும் ஒப்பீடு செய்துகொள்வதுண்டு. அடிமட்ட ரசிகர்கள் வட்டத்தில் தளபதிக்கே ஒட்டுக்கள் அதிகம் விழுந்தாலும் இன்று காலம் கடந்தும் தளபதி அளவுக்கு சரிக்கு சமமாக நிற்பதே குணாவின் பெருமை. தொடர்ந்து தொலைக்காட்சிகளில் ஒளிபரப்பப் பட்டு, தொடர்ந்து குணாவின் பாடல்கள் புகழேணியில் ஏறிக்கொண்டே இருக்கும் அதிசயம்.

Would be nice to have Asha saretth (who played the lady in original and in kannada remake) be introduced again in Tamil. Even then, Ramya Krishnan would be good choice.

[faithiu11]

The first one who comes to my mind is nadhiya for police role but gouthami will be a terrible choice for menna role.....meena did it so convincingly...inspector role will be a big challenge ...

+1. Asha Sarath was too good in the original. Both Nadhiya and RK would be good, when pitted against Kamal. That role has more importance than the one played by Meena. But Meena's portrayal of the caring and naive wife was quite convincing. I'm not sure if Gauthami can show that innocence.

[hattori_hanzo]

venki, nice post. :thumbsup: for the Avatar.

[Adox]

Sridevi will be a good choice for his pair, but for an IPS officer ?

Sridevi in Kamal's next?

Who would not love to see Kamal Hassan and Sridevi together! If things go well both of these big personalities can come together for the malayalam remake "Dhrishyam" which originally had Mohanlal and Meena in the lead cast. Sridevi who made a comeback to Indian cinema with English Vinglish has been requested to play the role of an IPS officer for this movie, however there is no official confirmation yet. There are also talks to sign up Ramya Krishnan for the IPS role if Sridevi could not make it and Asha who played in the Mollywood movie is also a contender for the role.

Gautami leads the top contender for essaying Kamal's pair in the movie, failing which the part is expected to go to Virumandi fame Abirami or even Meena who played in the original.

Albeit with Uthama villain in its final stages Kamal is on a foray indeed!.

COURT BANS TAMIL REMAKE OF KAMAL HAASAN'S MOVIE


It seems the controversy related to the movie Drishyam will not die down anytime soon. On the heels of Bollywood producer Ekta Kapoor sending a legal notice to the makers of the movie, Malayalam writer and film director Sathish Paul has filed a petition in the Ernakulam court. He had alleged that the movie is taken from his novel, OruMazhakalathu. Sathish is the director of a Malayalam movie, Crime Thriller Finger Print, which starred Jayaram and Indrajith. Sathish has stated that he was planning to make the book into a movie in Tamil with the title, Oru Chennai Crime Story and the move by the makers of Drishyam has upset his plans and hence he preferred the petition.
Based on the petition, the Ernakulam Sessions Court has given an injunction to stop the work on the Tamil remake of the film.

[Adox]

Kamal and movie controversies go hand in hand! But I was thinking Drishyam is based from a Japanese based movie/novel .... and the original Malayalam was made more than a year ago. Why raise it now ? His claim doesnt look authentic .. Hindi remake is probably a different story.

Make a quick buck what else. You can maximize the return when you strike at a critical moment like just before release. Maybe he should have waited until all of the shooting is complete ... ;)

That's what I am also wondering... looks like, that guy does not have a problem if it is remade in any language but he does not want the Tamil remake to be done.

[hattori_hanzo]

Now we can expect comments across the internet - "This is all just hype created by Kamal for his next movie"

[Cinemarasigan]

Normally these kind of things come up when the film nearing completion, this time the problems started before the shooting commences..

[pushpak]

Would be good to see Kamal in Drishyam because it is a sure bet in box office - though personally I am not that excited about it.
UV also not very hopeful.. some MA feel...
VR2 is the only hope now...

விஸ்வரூபம்-2 எப்போது வேண்டுமானாலும் வெளியாகலாம்! கமல் வெளியிட்ட தகவல்!!

கமலின் விஸ்வரூபம் படம் பல தடைகள், சர்ச்சைகளை தாண்டி வெளிவந்து சூப்பர் ஹிட்டானது. அந்த படத்தை எடுத்து வந்தபோது இரண்டாம் பாகத்துக்கு தேவையான பெரும்பாலான காட்சிகளையும் அதே படப்பிடிப்பு தளங்களில் படமாக்கி விட்டார் கமல். அதனால்தான், முதல் பாகத்திலேயே இரண்டாம் பாகம் தொடரும் என்று குறிப்பிட்டிருந்தார். அதேபோல், அப்படத்தையும் உடனடியாக தொடங்கினார் கமல். முதல் பாகத்தை தானே தயாரித்தவர், இரண்டாம் பாகத்தில் ஆஸ்கர் பிலிம்சுடன் கூட்டணி வைத்துக்கொண்டார். பல மாதங்களுக்கு முன்பே படப்பிடிப்பு முடிந்து, அப்படத்தின் போஸ்ட் புரொடக்சன்ஸ் வேலைகள் சில மாதங்களாக நடந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறது.

இந்த நிலையில, அதன்பிறகு கமல் நடிக்கத் தொடங்கிய உத்தமவில்லன் படப்பிடிப்பும் தற்போது இறுதிகட்டத்தை எட்டியுள்ளது. அதனால், விஸ்வரூபம்-2 படத்திற்கு முன்பே உத்தமவில்லன் திரைக்கு வந்துவிடும் என்று செய்திகள் வந்தவண்ணம் உள்ளன. ஆனால், இதுகுறித்து தற்போது கமல் வெளியிட்டுள்ள செய்தியில், விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை விட இரண்டாம் பாகத்துக்கு எதிர்பார்ப்பு அதிகமாக இருக்கும் என்பதால் இறுதி கட்ட பணிகளில் கூடுதலான பிரமாண்டத்தை இணைத்து வருகிறோம். அதனால் தான் இவ்வளவு காலதாமதம். ஆனபோதும், உத்தமவிலல்னுக்கு ஒரு மாதத்திற்கு முன்பே கூட விஸ்வருபம்-2 திரைக்கு வந்து விடும் என்கிறார்.

அது எப்போது என்று கேட்டால், எப்போது வேண்டுமானாலும் ரிலீசாகலாம். அடுத்த மாதமோ அல்லது அதற்கடுத்த மாதமோகூட இருக்கலாம். ஆனால் விஸ்வரூபம்-2 வெளியான பிறகுதான் உத்தமவில்லன் வெளிவரும் என்கிறார் கமல்.

There is a healthy(not openly told?!) competition going between Shankar and Kamal..

Shankar made Sivaji, Kamal made Dasa to beat that...

Then Shankar made Endhiran, technically the best Tamil film till then. Kamal made VR. Not sure whether VR has broken collection records of Endhiran, but in terms of Grandeur and technical aspects it emerged as a best Indian / Tamil film.

Now Shankar is making "Ai" which may be better than VR's technical standards... Kamal is making VR-2 as well.

Let us hope both these films are on par with each other and prove to be treat for fans.

If both of them join together will it be a loss or gain for the Industry?

Both are winners their own ways ... Shankar has a higher glamor quotient than UN and UN has a better screen play/story line etc. Most UN fans probably like VR better than endiran .. but Shankar may appeal to a slightly wider audience I would think. It'll provide more variety if they could come together once a while ..

[Adox]

If we take 'Indian' which is a UN/Shankar movie, the first half and the part with younger Kamal is mostly glamour with chart buster songs, Koundamani/Senthil comedy and so forth. The part with Kamal as 'Indian Thatha' stayed in people's minds a lot more. It had both glamour and good screen play together.

Thats probably what we can expect with Shankar and Kamal together.

[hattori_hanzo]

Indhian is one of the many KH movies which I love to watch again and again. During its release, the impact made by the movie among all classes and masses was just amazing. I wonder if any section of the audience was dissatisfied with it - Some HCKH fans still disown it and don't consider it among Kamal's best as they feel it is more of a Shankar movie than Kamal's, but even these fans can't control themselves from cheering for Indian Thatha. I would rate it among ARR's best too. Not just the songs but the movie has some terrific BGM bits. Not to forget the other cast & technicians involved in making it so memorable - Goundamani, Manisha, Thotta Tharani, Sujatha, Jeeva, Nedumudi Venu

If the two come together again now, we have all chances of re-writing box office history again :-)

BGM ok...songs......yeah fine.............. (Lovebirds malargale songs beats ah akkada ku use panniruppar) telephone mani pol and pachai kiligal songs thavira other songs gels nicely only with visuals.. enakkenamo younger kamal acting natural ah illama konjam forced ah iruntha maathiriye irunthathu...therila..may be my view or kamal might not be in agreement with those portions......and indian thatha make up............... in heyram the old man get up looked more natural, here mask ah ottitu nadicha maathiri than irunthathu (thatz the case anyway).......... Indian is a many time watch film of course but not in the league of best ............... of course this is my opinion

[venkkiram]

To me, Nayakan wins over Indian. Though it is not a commercial like Indian, it still attracts me everytime it gets aired. Mindblowing performance by Velu nayakkar and supporting characters. Songs and BGM score would suck you before you realize that magic. Watching the movie is like painting a canvas of Velu nayakkar from the start to end and you become part of his life.

Indian on the other hand is in and out an entertainer with all commercial elements. Its like "oru kaithiyin diary" for me. Kamal's comparison on these two films does not make sense.

Shankar is a 100% commercial director and his movies have an abundance of hit songs, great visuals, and comedy elements .. His movies definitely have a higher box office hit rate than most others - which is a producer's delight! And right, we cant compare of UN movies of various directors. As HH pointed out, Indian may not entertain some KH fans but it certainly had a very much wider appeal. Nayagan - agree its a notch higher with its lingering theme music but again not sure if everybody feels that way.

But KH fans themselves are very diversified as a community. Some like Thevar Magan more than Nayagan and I personally liked Mahanadhi the most for its wonderful portrayal uninterrupted of what a society can do to an ordinary someone who was trying to lead a simple but contended life. Not many would watch Mahanadhi more than once. But for me it was a realization of what the society can be made of. HeyRam, although a great movie, I felt there were portions that impeded the flow. Again, many UN fans may like it the most. Yet there're other UN fans who relish his regular commercial movies with dance, songs, fight etc. and dont care for his other genre movies.

I guess its a mixed bag.

'Indian Thatha' had a lot of appeal despite not looking so natural! Even among the hindi audience ... Younger Kamal, mostly glamour.
SPB's Maya-machindra song was dynamic and entertaining with UN morphing to a lion/lizard etc. Fully commercial :)
Pachai-Kiligal was superb .. no doubt.
Other songs atleast in top 10 ...

Thank you Ravi Sir.

So nice of you to post the statistics here. I have few questions on this business. Please throw some light.

1) Who owns the rights of these old movies & from whom do the theatre owners buy prints? Even for re-release do they have middlemen like distributors or is it just a deal between seller & theatre owners?

2) How is the Price determined? Is it based on past performance of the re-release OR Box office result of its Initial release OR just the clout of the actor/producer?

Nayagan actually re-defined commercial cinema. It was the right mix of class & mass elements. It was a trendsetter in many many ways - storywise, technical aspects like camera/editing, acting, music, dialogues - what not? And so we had at least a dozen follow-ups in late 80s and early 90s.

நான் அப்படி நினைக்கவில்லை. நாயகன் ஒரு கலைப்படைப்பே. அதன் கதை நகர்வு வணிகப் படைப்பைக் காட்டிலும் முற்றிலும் வேறுபட்டது. அப்படத்தின் சாதனை ஒரு வரலாற்று நிகழ்வு. அதற்கு பெரிதும் உதவியாக இருந்தது கமல் என்ற நட்சத்திர அந்தஸ்து. நாயகன் ஈட்டிய புகழை மணிரத்னத்தால் அபிஷேக் பச்சன் "குரு"-வினால் ஈட்ட முடியவில்லை.

வணிகம் என்றால் அதிலேயே பல உட்பிரிவுகள் இருக்கின்றன. சிங்காரவேலனுக்கும் காக்கிச் சட்டைக்கும் . பாட்ஷாவுக்கும், எந்திரனுக்கும், சாமிக்கும், இந்தியனுக்கும், காக்கக் காக்கவிற்கும் வித்யாசம் இருக்கு. சொல்லிக் கொண்டெ போகலாம்.

மாறாக, நாயகன் -தேவர் மகன் - பேசும்படம் - குருதிப்புனல் - குணா - மகாநதி - ஹேராம் - அன்பேசிவம் போன்றவை அடிப்படையில் கலையம்சங்கள் மிகுந்து காணப்படுபவை. அதுவே கமலையும் ஏனைய மற்ற நட்சத்திர நடிகர்களையும் வேறுபடுத்திக் காட்டுகிறது.

இத்தனையாவது ரீலில் ஹீரோவின் அறிமுகம் இருக்கணும், இடைவேளைக்கு முன்பு இதெல்லாம் நடக்கணும், இடைவேளைக்கு பிறகு இந்த இடத்தில் பாட்டு இருக்கணும், க்ளைமாக்ஸ் இப்படியெல்லாம் அமையனும் என்ற ஏகப்பட்ட சட்டகவிதிகளொடு வணிகப் படைப்பு பயணிக்கும். இதையெல்லாம் கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக உடைத்தெறிந்தவர் கமல்.

ஷங்கர் ஒரு முழுக்க முழுக்க வணிகம் சார்ந்த படைப்புக்களை இயக்குபவர். எந்திரன் மட்டுமே அவரது மற்ற எல்லாப் படைப்புகளைக் காட்டிலும் சில விஷயங்களில் சொல்லிக் கொள்ளும்படியான விதத்தில் வேறுபட்டு பொலிவாக இருக்கிறது.

Yes, it was made differently and it did break many rules which were followed by 80's commercial movies, eventually becoming a trendsetter in several aspects of film making. It is tough to even list the number of styles the movie changed, which is why I said it 're-defined' the term commercial cinema.

But all these were done within the commercial framework. There was a raunchy item number and a club dance which were entirely different from the cabarets which were were accustomed to watching in early 80s. The hero had a mass opening scene, followed by a stunt sequence, followed by a song, a romantic track, another stunt and it continued. BUT the blood, gore and wounds were almost real, never seen before in TFI. There was a truck load of punch lines, not one of them conventional. The only commercial element it lacked was a comedy track, but no one complained. However, Janakaraj as Selva was a treat to watch.

After Nayagan, villains got out of their den and no longer sported bizarre wigs, suits and henchmen with names like Raabat, Peter. Every hero wanted to be the larger than life don with grey shades. Violence in Tamil cinema doubled, tripled and quadrupled, thanks to the success of Mani's follow-up, Thalapathy.
None of these were, in any manner arty. It was definitely a கலைப்படைப்பு, I agree, probably made with an intention to grab awards but it was loved by the audience unanimously and led TFI to a new path.

I really dont think you could bracket this under the art film category. It's more artistic than any other movie released at that time for sure, but under the conventions of mainstream cinema like how h_h pointed out. Just curious Venki, what are all the other KH movies that you would put under the art category?

ஆர்ட் பிலிம்-ற்கு எனத் தனியான சட்டகங்கள் இருப்பதாகத் தெரியவில்லை. வணிக படைப்புகளுக்கான சட்டகங்களை பற்றி கவலைப் படாமல் தனித்துவமாக, சுதந்திரமாக ஒரு திரைக்கதை நகர்ந்தாலே அது கலைப் படைப்பில் வந்துவிடும் என நினைக்கிறென். எளிமையாக ஒரு காரணியைக் கொண்டு விளக்கனும் என்றால், பாடல்கள் தேவையில்லை. அப்படியே பாடல்கள் இடம்பெற்றிருந்தாலும் அவைகளை அகற்றிவிட்டுப் பார்த்தால் கதை நகர்வில் பள்ளம் ஏற்பட்டுவிடும். ஒரு சீரான கதையோட்டம் தடைபட்டுள்ளது போல உணரலாம்.

Nayagan is a crossover film.

A movie emerges to be a crossover film if and only if its comerically sucessful, keeping intact the rest of the genres, else it rests with one specific genre or becomes just a blockbuster or wins an accolode just for the sake of it.

A crossover film is a filmwork which appeals to the normal audience, captures anyone inside genre preferences, makes money and last but not least catches the attention of non-regional and international audience too. Its a peculiar genre, but what Nayagan did was unique. Usually a crossover film tries to appeal to each and everyone, and the theme or plot they take is more on scales known to everyone - like historical war or myths or a famous book/novel, etc., - but Nayagan took a story of a character least known to the world and made heads turn. Moreover each scene was discussed & rehersed - a rare item in filmwork - and what we saw/see as the output was/is just fabulous.

A commercial film is often produced by big banners, sometimes in assosiation with international production houses or even funded by annonymous investers. Its main goal is to mint money. Nayagan is a commercial film.

An art film is often an indie-film, with limited theatrical releases and wins home as much accolodes as possible - the main reason for its making. Nayagan is an Art Film. (Some art films try to deviate and teach few aspects in film work, but they are becoming rarer and rarer these days.)

A realistic film is the one which is similar to art film (for exemple no lavish cost spent over makeup) but has all the elements to mint money. Nayagan is a Realistic film.

The word "Artistic" can be coined to any film, omitting all the blockbusters churning out today. So having all these words in the same sentence defies the meaning that one wishes to convey. Nayagan did bring few changes, any film can do that/have done that, if only its sucessful. Imagine if Nayagan was a dud, we would not be having this discussion on how influential the film is. HeyRam is a hit, then, most movies will be moving there scenes with musical variations even depicting the raagas of sunset and sunrise from a musical piece. Did it happen or have we had anyother movie that quenched our thirst.

In conclusion - Each period (a given range of time) has a filmwork which redefines the circuit a bit once in a while. Nayagan is one such CULT film which will not AGE atall.

Kamal Haasan honoured with life time achievement award by TN Governor Rosaiah.

[Russellpei]

Kamal receives Lifetime Achievement Award
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YESJ45XuYbM

[Adox]

Some excerpts from Sigaram-Thodu audio release.

Kamal Haasan - "Sorry that I had to come a little late. This is my family's function. I have almost stalled Uttama Villain's last two day shoot to attend this audio launch. Vikram Prabhu will very soon find a place for himself surpassing his family history. People who believe on genes, keep it yourself, it is hard-work that will take you places. Vikram Prabhu is progressing on a faster rate only because of his tireless efforts and nothing more. This film has to succeed. It means a lot to me"

K.S.Ravikumar - "More than attending the audio launch of my assistant's film, I rushed all the way from Bangalore to meet Kamal sir, since its been so long. I can congratulate my assistant whenever I want, but getting to see Kamal sir and all of my friends is what I'm kicked about. This film will be a sure shot hit. All the best to the team"

Gaurav - "I'm a Kamal fanatic. I read anything that has something about him. When I grew up, all my walls had Kamal sir posters. My audio launch happening under his presence is a blessing. I have the world's greatest dad and Sigaram Thodu is a script very close to my heart. With Tom Cruise, sorry I call Sathyaraj that way, to play the father role, the story I had in mind just elevated to a whole new level. Vikram has it all in the genes. He is a remarkable actor who has tested the waters of humor for the first time. He will go a long way. With my cast and crew, I cordially request you all for your support and encouragement"

Sathyaraj - "I play a cop dad in this film. Starting from Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupadu (KKK) I've been playing police officer roles. It was Kamal sir who saw a hero in me and made an authentic police story, KKK, for the first time. Coming to the producers, UTV Motion Pictures had a huge agreement for me to be duly signed. There were a list of ordinances that had to be signed stating, if the actor fails to be a good actor or if his/her voice is not decent enough to be dubbed there will be last minute changes made. I have been in the industry for 36 years and I have never come across such properly planned constructs for film shooting. On a funny note, just by using Thagudu Thagudu dialogue I'm what I'm now, dare not change my voice even if it's bad during the dubbing. I got the chance to act for the very first time by doing the Parasakthi dilalogue. Please make necessary changes to actors like us when you make agreements.

My brother Prabhu has been a little tight with Vikram Prabhu. After Ivan Vera Mathiri, I made a call to him and told, Vikram Prabhu has done a splendid job. Prabhu said, Vikram Prabhu's dance could have been better. Now you all saw the song visuals. Prabhu ? Care to appreciate your son now ? During Kumki I said, Vikram Prabhu, next Parasakthi is ready. Now let me tell you all, next Thanga Pathakam is ready. I thank Imman, the cinematographer and the editor for their amazing support. This heroine Monal. I have to tell you. What a beauty she is. When the songs were played, I winked at Prabhu. She looks gorgeous.

Coming to the captain of the ship, Gaurav has the knack of handling equipment and being a task master. I was floored by Virumaandi's shot progressions. After Kamal sir, I can say, Gaurav is the best in the trade when it comes to technicalities. I wish this film all success"

[venkkiram]

Come on! Kamal should stop attending song/movie release function for these kind of yound buds who just starting their journey in cinema. If he says "its hard work that would take you places", then why those youngsters who done only 2/3 movies should receive a red carpet welcome from industry genius like Kamal?

Why not, Venki. There is a particular phrase you might be familiar with. The act of giving back. Kamal is doing exactly that. Just imagine the amount of inspiration fledgling filmakers and actors would get just from hearing this man out.

Right in theory but he doesn't attend each and every actor's new audio release after putting his own shoot away. This is only for the cinematic loyalty to NT family. He says that actually:

"This is my family's function. I have almost stalled Uttama Villain's last two day shoot to attend this audio launch."

சரியா சொன்னீங்க. ஆனால் குடும்ப விழா சகிதம் வந்து கலந்துக்கிறென்னு சொன்னால் அவருடைய வளைந்து கொடுக்கும் தன்மையை நாமும் சகித்துக்கொள்ளலாம். ஆனால் "it is hard-work that will take you places. Vikram Prabhu is progressing on a faster rate only because of his tireless efforts and nothing more. This film has to succeed. It means a lot to me " - இதெல்லாம் வே டூ மச். அப்படியே பாராட்டுகிறார் என்றால் படம் வெளியாகி விமர்சகர்களால் / மக்களால் விக்ரம் பிரபுவின் நடிப்பு புகழப் படும்போது கமலும் பத்திரிக்கைகளில் அதைப் பற்றி நாலு வரிகள் புகழ்ந்து சொல்லட்டும். அப்படித்தான் கமல் படம் ஓடும்போதெல்லாம் பாலச்சந்தர், பாரதிராஜா போன்ற சமகாலத்து நட்சத்திர இயக்குனர்கள் வாயாரப் புகழ்வார்கள். அதைவிட்டு, "This film has to succeed. It means a lot to me " என பேசுவது வேடிக்கையாக இருக்கு. கமல் என்றைக்குமே படம் வெளியாகும்போதே இதுபோன்ற தோள்தட்டி உற்சாகப் படுத்தும் ஆளே கிடையாது.

[kumarsr]

I thought all the shooting was over for UV but he says there is still 2 days left. So this year also it is only 1 movie release after a gap of 18+ months. Hopefully he can start and finish Papanasam soon.

[hattori_hanzo]

Whats Papanasam? Movie location or name? Dont tell me Perarasu is directing Drishyam remake ;)

[kumarsr]

That's the Dhrishyam remake. Shooting starting on Aug 19th, apparently

[Adox]

Yep, thats the name. Would have preferred someone other than Gauthami for his wife's role though ..

There have been a lot of speculations about the title of Kamal Haasan’s next movie which happens to be the remake of Malayalam superhit Drishyam directed by Jeethu Joseph. Incidentally, the same director will be wielding the microphone in the movie's Tamil version as well.

Now we have authentic information that the film is titled as Papanasam and as informed earlier Gauthami might share the screen space with Kamal Haasan for this movie.

Ghibran scores the music for this flick. The movie is produced by Suresh Balaje, George Pius of Wide Angle Creations and Raj Kumar Sethupathy and Sripriya Rajkumar of Raj Kumar Theatres Pvt Ltd.

Konjam over-dhan I agree .. and yes, he didnt have anybody to prop him when he was coming up. He seems to be doing this praise job/motivational speech in every function he attends although its a little more here because of his affinity. Vikram Prabhu has a long way to go to even reach Prabhu's level and will probably never reach NT level.

[avavh3]

Introduced to this thread only recently :fatigue: (was not aware of this thread..excellent write-ups) kindly excuse me for these belated responses to this thread:

1. I was shocked about some comments questioning the title "legend" for thalaivar. what else they expect from an artist, God only knows :banghead:

2. I was surprised that while discussing about Mani movies, nobody mentioned about the earth-shattering movie Roja, which will be remembered till movie exists in India. (although roja will count after Nayakan as Mani's best)

3. I was disturbed about some ppl questioning KH receiving PB award, attributing some malicious blame un-connected with performance of a true artist and the recognition he gets. The Geno character is one eccentric perverted and he should be banned from entering this Hub :curse:

Neenga sollunga sir - Avar ivalovvu paarattukku uriyavarra ? NT oda paerana illanna avaru ivaLovu paarattu vaangi-irrupaara ?

Reason is vikram prabu is giving steady performance in all the three films and hatrck hit given by people.
Also Karthick son, Sathyaraj son etc acted more no of films but nothing got reached with people and one more thing in tamil cine field third generation of
NT's family giving good shine. This is the reason.

I also confirm that that prabu and ramkumar having deep affection with kamal and rajini. No doubt

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Well...Got to accept that it was for Prabhu and the NT factor that brought Kamal in to the Audio function. But in general, its pretty apparent that Kamal devotes a good chunk of his free time nowadays to film functions. You see a good number of newbie filmakers, actors frequenting his house to get his well wishes. It may or may not prove to be a detriment to his own work, but I personally feel the need to appreciate him on this.

I thought all the shooting was over for UV but he says there is still 2 days left. So this year also it is only 1 movie release after a gap of 18+ months. Hopefully he can start and finish Papanasam soon.

The shooting of UV got over last week. He would attend some more functions like this till next wednesday before starting the shooting for Papanasam.

[avavh3]

what papanasam

[Cinemarasigan]

what papanasam

Dhrishyam remake ..

[avavh3]

is it confirmed CR? very laymannic. doesnt do justice to the poetic title of the original IMO

[VinodKumar's]

Whats Papanasam? Movie location or name? Dont tell me Perarasu is directing Drishyam remake ;)

:lol:. Kamal + Perarasu !!!

[Anban]

Kamal is capable of pulling of a movie like Anbe Sivam even with perarasu

[VinodKumar's]

// Recently I watched an interview of Perarasu. He said his first script had been rejected by producers for many years and that made him to write an alternate commercial script as backup. That was Thirupachi. As he expected, Super good rejected his first script and ok-ed second script. After Thirupachi's success he had no choice other than making commercial movies.

Then when he was asked will he do same kind of mass masala action packed movie if he is the hero ... he replied no, naama nadikira padamaavadhu nallrukanumla .. I was like :|. //

[VinodKumar's]

Watched Dhirsiyam yesterday. What's there in the movie for "Kamal" to remake this ?. IMO its a bad choice.

“Robin Williams brought dignity to male crying” – Kamal Haasan

Hollywood actor, Robin Williams breathed his last yesterday, 11th August, after an alleged suicide and the film industries all around the world have been mourning the death of the talented actor. On this sad occasion, Kamal Haasan, in his statement about Robin Williams, said:

“Comedians are invariably critics of society who have masked their anger with humour. Constantly maintaining a funny facade leads to depression. Robin Williams' true nature is being quick to tears. You can see it in his films. He could have never become a star in the 60's, for American film heroes were too scared to cry on screen. The Vietnam War changed the American psyche. Rambo was the first popular action hero to show panic, cry and scream in fear. Robin Williams brought dignity to male crying. I like him for his talent. If the alleged story about his suicide is true then I dislike him for ending his life before his due date of expiry. That's a copout that I don't expect of an artist of his caliber. Same applies to my Indian idol Mr. Guru Dutt.”

I presume you may have had different expectations. It was a such a huge BB in Malayalam outrunning all ... Come on man - every regional industry has been scrambling to get the remake rights, and Ekta Kapoor going to court over hindi rights! I'm thinking how so many could be wrong incl. kamal himself who decided to do it :???:

Pabam (the murder) + Naasam (because it is for a good cause)

[venkkiram]

Indira, the king of the Devas had Dwashta, son of Sukracharya (Venus planet- the Guru of the demons)) as his Guru. Indira came to know that Dwashta was performing a Yagna for the demons and killed him and thus incurred the sin called Brahmmahati dosha. In order to cleanse himself of the sin, Indira wandered among the various Shiva Kshetras worshipping the Lord for relief from the dosha. Guru, planet Jupiter advised him to go this place and worship Lord Shiva. Even as Indira was entering the borders of this place, he got relieved from his sin. Hence, the place came to be known as Papanasam – meaning destroying sins and the Lord as Papanasanathar.

I felt there is very little for Kamal in this movie. I don't mind if Venkatesh/SarathKumar kind of heroes remake this movie.

[avavh3]

Prakash Raj will be perfect for this plot.

[mappi]

Kamal would have noticed a great platforme for performence in Drisham Remake :

- Initial scenes as the Cable TV Operator (should be funny when Kamal essaying them)
- As a budget Padmanaban styled Familyman (Humour lingering in the air - thanks to Crazy Mohan if he is signed in)
- Encounter with In-laws (eventhough not much dialogues, your body language plays a big impact on the scene - timid, guilty, love, sadness & agony)
- Learning the bad news
- Tea Kadai scene after the crime
- Re-*spoilers* the day
- Introgation scene
- Climax - the best that Kamal always likes to do - Thanking God (you got to watch the original or wait for the remake to understand what I am trying to mean here).

Talking about Drisham, its a decent flim, quite enjoyable if you have limited patience. Take away Mohanlal, it immediately turns into a B-Grade crime cinema. So, Kamal would be a label for the remake, someone else, the adaptation will fall behind in the line of other unsucessful malayalam-remake attempts.

[avavh3]

mappi good analysis. tempting me to watch Drshm once again. any movie with UN as hero will be a treat to watch and has the potential to become BO hit. but the point is i cant imagine KH in place of Mohanlal in the remake, somehow it doesnt gel. any one like prabhu, PR or second line actor is enough for the script. (but i would watch it fdfs no doubt:-D)

Skimmed through your initial part. Dont want to know the details but read your last paragraph - gave me some picture on what to expect .. I'm only looking forward to that 'great platform for performance' part where he excels ... He hasnt done that in a while - deep emotions, acting and melodrama.

[Adox]

but the point is i cant imagine KH in place of Mohanlal in the remake, somehow it doesnt gel.

I'm not sure what you meant here .. but Mohanlal is an actor par-excellence. I have seen quite a few of his performance movies ... if Kamal excels in acting, Mohanlal blends as the character itself ... Very natural without much effort. Only someone like Kamal can do what Mohanlal has done .. dont see anybody else .

bill..i meant in this particular remake. dont get me wrong..versatility of mohanlal is not in question here. the script is so simple it needs no super stars imho.

HH..thanks for the clip. i know for sure pushpaka vimana was a BB movie. at that time i was in bangalore and seen house full boards and huge crowds even around 100 days in urvashi and pallavi theaters. but i doubt it did good business in TN.

i remember KH in one article before release of apoorva sahodargal mentioned he doesnt know what tamil fans will like, after many of his super duper BB of his other language movies like indrudu chandrudu, pushpak, swati muthyam floped in tamil release.

Neenga sonna moonume Thamizhlayum hits dhaan. Swati Muthyam (Sippikkul Muthu) 100 days - though not a blockbuster like Salangai Oli, it ran very well. Indiran Chandiran, 100 days. Again, the Telugu Original was a blockbuster. Pesum Padam thamizhlayum nalla odina padam. Nayagan's 200 day run did not affect it at all. Proof-ku dhaan andha clipping potten. Hindi'la dhaan konjam sumaara pochu nenaikkeren. Im not too sure about that.

Sippikkul Muthu ran 100 days in all major cities.

Only someone like Kamal can do what Mohanlal has done .. dont see anybody else .

Kamal can actually be a MohanLal (if he wants to) in being natural.
But of late he deliberately does not do it.
I am afraid that in Drishyam also Nammavar, though he is a middle class, not educated guy, may speak English with foreign accent (like in UPO :( )

[Adox]

Kamal has to put some effort to blend in as a commoner/uneducated/middle class compared to Mohan Lal for whom its a piece of cake ... When Mohan Lal walks with his 'Mundu' on the street, it will be hard to distinguish him from a commoner. You're very right, UN's English will give it away! Of course, the ultimate product will be pretty good and UN will make it happen, no doubt.

If you have seen ML's Kreedom and compare it with Ajith's remake, you'll see what I mean. Not to say the remake was not good but the original Kreedom was so natural/realistic and Ajith's remake was more cinematic.

It should take lot of guts to compare MohanLal and Ajith :-)
(no offence to anyone)
Some of Lal's expressions cannot be done by anybody ! People who watch Malayalam movies will agree.
But Lal has limitations compared to Kamal.
Yes; MohanLal is "seen" as a common man. Many of his heroic characters also are based on common man background.
What I meant is Kamal, if he tries, can look natural as a common man; but I do not think he will try.
And for me, as I have watched the Malayalam version, anything less than it will be a disappointment (and also a hit on my ego/worship on Kamal)

They have their strengths. That 'common man' hero thingy is ML's forte .. thats were KH needs to put an effort but there're a bunch of things ML can't do what UN has accomplished. It also depends on how Jeetu J navigates it taking into account KH's strengths. We'll see.

After Vijay's sister, its Kamal's daughter

After finishing ‘Uttama Villain’ the Padma Bhushan actor Kamal Haasan is steering ahead to start working on a remake film after a gap of five years. In the Tamil remake of Malayalam super hit film ‘Drishyam’ the star will be reprising the role played by Mohan Lal in the original. The Tamil version has been tentatively titled as ‘Papanasam’.

The Tamil film that will be directed by Jeetu Joseph, whose brainchild is his original film, will have dialogues penned by famed writer Jeyamohan, marking the first time pairing up of the two veterans in their respective fields. While media reports suggest that Gauthami will be making a comeback playing Kamal’s wife in the film, but the team keeps us guessing and are yet to announce who will be roped in for the role played by Meena in the original.

However, sources close to the makers reveal that Kalabhavan Mani will be playing the corrupt cop and Nivedha Thomas, who acted as Vijay's younger sister in the super hit film 'Jilla' and Jai's love interest in 'Naveen Saraswathi Sabatham' will be playing Kamal’s elder daughter’s character which brings about a turning point in the film.

‘Papanasam’ will have a music score by Ghibran who will be working third time in a row with Kamal after ‘Viswaroopam 2’ and ‘Uttama Villain’. The film is set to start rolling soon.

Kalabhavan Mani who has not acted with Kamal before, is a nice choice for the cop's role. I was thinking that he would rope in Pasupathy, but KM will look more menacing in that character.

It was reported earlier that Kamal and Vivek are coming together for a movie. When Kamal was interviewed by Vivek, he said there is a surprise in store for him. But later we never heard anything from Kamal. Neither did Vivek. Teaser too doesn't have him. UV, how do you know?

[dell_gt]

The waiting room of Kamal Haasan’s office in Alwarpet turns out to be the best place for an interview. There are a bunch of photos mounted on easels, marking in black and white and sepia the roles that he has essayed over decades. They invite drama into the frame, indicate the stature of the man sitting in front, and they lend the right context and mood to the conversation. Symbolically, celluloid strides in the room, as a righteous presence, listening along with us to Kamal Haasan as he speaks with authority, launches a scathing attack on those who strive to silence cinema.

He is probably Indian cinema’s loudest and most consistent opponent of “post-censor censorship”. “It should be called ‘censorism’,” he suggests with a laugh. “I don’t know why, may be I have not voiced myself well, I have been targeted many times. There was a film called Sandiyar: etymologically, politically, ethnically, they were wrong when they said the name had to be changed. Today, another movie called Sandiyar was recently released.”

“There was an agitation against Mumbai Express: because part of it is an English word. There is no Tamil word for Mumbai Express. I am sure all those who were against it, even they wouldn’t say ‘I love you’ to their lovers in Tamil. Many don’t even thank in Tamil,” he says. Righteous indignation creeps in as he goes on: “It is ridiculous to take a free ride on a vehicle that is available. Somebody has to put a stop to this.”

“If you take Hey Ram, much before its release, a senior politician perceived it as an anti-Gandhi film based on the poster and wanted it stopped. Au contraire, the modus operandi of the film was to mirror the technique of Mark Antony’s funeral oration. It starts with the praise of Brutus, but moves to the defence of Caesar.”

The conversation naturally veers toward, as it must, Vishwaroopam. “I was confident that when they saw it, there wouldn’t be a problem. But, they sort of hyped themselves into a mood of negation… I still stand by the film — it said nothing wrong about Indian Muslims. The only good Muslim is an Indian even if they say that all other Muslims were bad, which I disagree with, in the film.”

He’s on a roll: “I am trying to do my best. If I am wrong, I correct myself. I am right, I stand by it. I don’t regret the fight in Vishwaroopam, I have lost a lot of money. It was a very costly battle, in fact. But I don’t think it should be allowed to happen. We used to think that the Censor Board should be abolished, but seeing how things are going, maybe it should stay on for some more time, until sense prevails.”

Does he think there is any validity for social boycott of films in a liberal democracy? “None. In every religion, there are people who lack sense, and people who are good and rational… Cinema itself is a voice; striving to silence it amounts to fascism. I am attacking everyone who does not allow the arts to flourish,” he replies.

Is all this happening because people are taking cinema too seriously? He doesn’t hesitate for a moment, “No. The politicians are taking cinema too seriously. The people don’t take cinema seriously. As a matter of fact, they have stopped taking even politicians seriously.”

What is the solution: legally and politically empowering the censor board? “The whole system is corrupt. The best way is, to quote a Gujarati gentleman (Mahatma Gandhi), ‘Don’t cry for change. Become the change.’ That’s the only answer.”

But, there is a responsibility for the film maker too. A consummate performer like Kamal is more than aware of that; in fact, he’s clear that as film makers recording conflicts and contentious subjects, “we need to be responsible, have a civic/social sense when we talk through films. It should not be used as a platform for something else.”

His classical odyssey
Forget the actor. That was the brief. After 50 years of acting, that’s the only facet of Kamal Haasan people think about. Sometimes, maybe, they think of Kamal Haasan the writer or Kamal Haasan the director. But it’s almost always the actor. So one evening this April, in Bangalore, I asked him about the other things: the singing, the poetry, the photography, and the dancing, especially the dancing. He was in the city filming ‘Uthama Villain’, but it was the day of the elections, so there was no shooting across the State. Dressed in a white linen ensemble and looking extremely relaxed, he told me, “This kind of exposure to the arts you can get only in two places – either a Brahmin household or a community dedicated to art. I didn’t have a choice. I was born into this Brahmin atmosphere.”

He spoke about a house in Paramakudi filled with music. His mother Rajalakshmi played the violin. Elder brothers Charuhasan and Chandrahasan were singers. “So it was an environment of music,” he said. “Like others hum cinema songs, classical music would be running through my mind.” But as far as the others in the family were concerned, he was about as talented as his father Srinivasan, who couldn’t sing at all and, therefore, had decided to become a patron of the arts. The house was on a two-acre tract of land, and half of it became a sort of open-air auditorium where artists would be invited to perform. MLV. Madurai Somu. A young Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan.

Kamal Haasan spoke about his sister, the family’s only daughter, who was sent off to Thanjavur to train in classical dance in a gurukulam, when she was five. “When she was eight, she returned to find a surprise, a very late-born brother. That was me. I was not planned. Everything else in the family was planned. The eldest son would be a lawyer. The second son would also be a lawyer. The daughter was going to be a classical dancer.” They even named her Mrinalini, because his father was a great fan of Mrinalini Sarabhai.

Listening to Kamal Haasan speak is like sitting down for a screenplay narration. The tone is steady. The tale is dramatic. Then, when you least expect it, there’s a splash of comic relief.

Listening to Kamal Haasan speak is like sitting down for a screenplay narration. The tone is steady. The tale is dramatic. Then, when you least expect it, there’s a splash of comic relief. He narrated the stretch where he – we should probably name this character in the flashback; let’s call him by the diminutive Kamal – was cut off from art for a while when his mother was diagnosed as a chronic diabetic and had to be sent to Chennai, where her elder brother lived. Kamal accompanied her. “I was about three. They enrolled me in Holy Angels. I had this uncanny knack of running away. I’d pick up a taxi and come back home.”

Kamal turned five. He became an actor. And music and dance returned to his life when his sister came to Chennai. He used to escort her on the bus for veena classes, and there, to keep him out of mischief, he’d be given a small veena to play. “In a way,” Kamal Haasan said, “I could say that music is my sister’s strong influence.”

He said that he was not a keen learner of the arts. He just picked things up by ear, karna parampara, rather than actual practice. But he used to talk like he was going to perform at The Music Academy the next day. “All that was leaning towards acting, not playing the veena,” he laughed.

What you cannot do, you tend to dislike. It was too much hard work.

The story Kamal Haasan told that evening kept going back and forth in time, a jumble of memories – like this one from when Kamal was seven or eight. He was friends with Palghat Mani Iyer’s son, an accomplished violinist, who thought Kamal was a budding veena genius. “He took me around saying that this guy is a genius, he knows everything. But I couldn’t play. I could only talk about it. I didn’t know how to get out of it.” So Kamal had this fear. There was disdain too. “What you cannot do, you tend to dislike. It was too much hard work.”

Then, this one from when Kamal was 10 or 12. He joined T.K. Shanmugam’s theatre troupe – Kamal Haasan respectfully called him Annachi – where he was trained in swordfight and stunts and even dance. “That’s where I suddenly thought: Maybe I can shake a leg.” That is possibly the understatement of the century.

This was the scene on stage: the mother is dying, and she wants her son (played by Kamal) to sing one last song for her. Shanmugam Annachi, never one to let the show not go on, urged Kamal from the wings: “Go on! You know the words. Sing!”

“I think I discovered myself as a singer in the TKS Nataka Sabha,” Kamal Haasan said. But it was an arduous, and somewhat accidental, discovery. The troupe was staging a play named ‘Appavin Aasai’. There were songs in it, but because no one knew if Kamal could sing; they played these songs on a Grundig spool-type tape recorder and asked him to lip-sync them on stage. Then, one evening, the tape snapped. This was the scene on stage: the mother is dying, and she wants her son (played by Kamal) to sing one last song for her. Shanmugam Annachi, never one to let the show not go on, urged Kamal from the wings: “Go on! You know the words. Sing!” And Kamal sang ‘Uzhaithu pizhaikka vendum’, which seems a rather odd song to sing in this situation. Anyway, as scripted, the mother died. The unscripted coda to the scene: a singer was born.

“That’s when I realised I could boldly sing before an audience,” Kamal Haasan said. “And it’s not like playback singing, where the mike is in front of you. The mike is at a distance.”

In a play named ‘Avvaiyaar’, Kamal played the young Murugan, singing folk songs while perched on a tree.

A number of names, famous and otherwise, popped up as supporting characters in Kamal Haasan’s flashback. S.G. Kasi Iyer, S.G. Kittappa’s brother, who composed the music for a dance drama on Lord Muruga’s Arupadai Veedu; he would compose perfect swaras for sound effects, to mimic, say, the opening of a door. Madurai Venkatesan, who taught Kamal the basics of Carnatic music. K.B. Sundarambal, who lived in the house behind Kamal’s and would make aappams and sing songs for him when he jumped over the wall to visit his classmate Ganapathy Subramaniam, her adopted son. (“In my naiveté, I used to sing ‘Pazham Nee Appa’ to her. And she tolerated my singing.”)

And Mylapore Gowri Ammal. “I had the great honour of lying on her lap, in the Ranganatha pose, as I watched my sister learn dance. She would sometimes play the taalam on my shoulder or cheek.”

The Guru and his sishya: Classical singer Balamuralikrishna with actor Kamal Haasan.

Another famous name played a bigger part in Kamal’s musical education, and for that story, we must cut to the early 1980s. Kamal is a very busy actor. It’s been some 10 years since he sat in Madurai Venkatesan’s class. It’s been 10 years since he learnt any new music. He’s shooting in Bombay for ‘Karishma’, the Hindi remake of ‘Tik Tik Tik’. He has an accident. He breaks a leg. He has to buy two tickets to fly to Chennai, the extra one for the seat in front that has to be folded down so he can stretch the broken leg. The man in the adjacent seat observes his plight and asks him: “What are you going to do in the months it’s going to take for this to heal?”

That was M. Balamuralikrishna. Kamal said he didn’t know. Balamuralikrishna asked Kamal if he liked music. Kamal nodded. Balamuralikrishna said, “Instead of wasting time, why don’t you learn something from me?” Kamal thought he was joking – until Balamuralikrishna landed up at Kamal’s house the next day. Classes began with the sishya’s foot in the air. “My guru found me,” Kamal Haasan said.

Balamuralikrishna asked Kamal what he’d learnt. Kamal said he knew some 30-odd keerthanas. Balamuralikrishna asked him to sing. Kamal sang. Balamuralikrishna said, gently, “Let’s start at the beginning, with a geetham.” Kamal Haasan laughed at the memory. “So I knew what he thought of me. He wanted me to be good enough to give a public performance, but I wasn’t there yet. He still keeps asking me when I am going to sing on stage.”

When Kamal’s leg got better, Balamuralikrishna said, “We can shift the classes to my house.” Kamal began to hobble over to his guru’s house, where he’d sit on a sofa and learn music. Eventually, Balamuralikrishna asked him, “Is your leg okay? Can you walk?” Kamal said yes. Balamuralikrishna said, “Then you can sit on the floor and continue.”

Classes went on for about one-and-a-half years. I asked Kamal Haasan to name something he learnt. He thought for a minute and then launched into the Karnataka Kapi kriti, ‘Sri Raghurama Samara Bheema’. I thought he’d stop there, with this opening line of the pallavi, but he continued... ‘Sasi Mouli Vinuta Seeta Ramana... Mukendu Lalitha Hasa Pariyathi...' And then he sang the swaras... ‘Pa dha ni pa ma ri ri ga ma ri sa / pa dha pa sa ni pa dha ni pa ma ri ga ma...’ He stopped dramatically, after negotiating the sharp, colourful turn at ‘Ramana... ri ga ma.’

Kamal Haasan said he still remembered the song because he learnt it when he was going to New Delhi to receive the National Award for Best Actor for ‘Moondram Pirai’. “My guru asked me to learn a new geetham for the occasion.” When the leg healed and Kamal resumed shooting, he continued with classes whenever he found the time. He’d call Balamuralikrishna and go over.

Then, during a shooting, Kamal misplaced a notebook filled with song notations. “I think he was a little upset about this. Then I got busy, and we gradually lost touch – otherwise, I would have been his student for 22 years now.” I asked him about his guru’s dream that Kamal Haasan should sing on stage. He laughed. “Balamuralikrishna saying that I can do this is like Sivaji Ganesan saying, “Nadippu romba easy pa.”’ You shouldn’t take it seriously.”

‘You can feel the fear in the song’
Between takes, Kamal would keep humming on the sets, and one day ‘Muktha’ Srinivasan, the director, caught him singing a keerthanai.

I had one last question about theatre when I met Kamal Haasan again in June, at his office in Chennai. Did he miss it? Doesn’t he feel like doing the odd play between films, the way Richard Burton did, the way Denzel Washington does? “Yes,” he said. “But even if I am performing on stage, I’d still like it to be televised. I want more people to see it. The bane of a theatre artist is that he can’t get his art across to a large audience. I have gotten used to technology, to that audience.” He compared this to running, and then suddenly slowing down to walk. “I am refusing to walk... unless it’s for health reasons.” He does this often. He’ll think up a metaphor on the spot, and then he’ll put a spin on it that sounds like a non sequitur but perhaps really isn’t.

***

We then began to talk about the movies, about his singing for them, beginning with the number ‘Gnayiru oli mazhayil’. The film was ‘Andharangam’, where Kamal played the manager of a “beauty clinic” that’s frequented exclusively by young women who want to get into shape and often find themselves entwined in the tape measure in his hands. Between takes, he would keep humming on the sets, and one day ‘Muktha’ Srinivasan, the director, caught him singing a keerthanai. A surprised Srinivasan decided to make Kamal sing a number for the film and took him to the music director G. Devarajan – or “Devarajan Master,” as he was called. Devarajan Master was very close to Thangappan Master, the choreographer under whom Kamal had worked for a while as an assistant, and he knew Kamal. During the recording, he stood near the new playback singer, moving his hands the way conductors do. “I was very scared of him,” Kamal Haasan said. “You can feel that fear in the song.”

Part 1: His classical odyssey

The same year, 1975, Kamal spent seven months learning to play the mridangam when K. Balachander told him that his character in ‘Aboorva Raagangal’ was required to play the instrument. “That’s why I play so convincingly in the film,” he said. Music was all around him. He spoke of his co-stars – the Malayalam actress Srilalitha who was a student of the composer Dakshinamurthy, and Srividya, who, of course, was the daughter of ML Vasanthakumari. “We were all very close and I would keep asking them to sing.”

Sometimes, they would perform at music nights helmed by Gangai Amaran. “Film stars singing light music was a new thing then,” Kamal Haasan said. They used to sing Tamil songs, Hindi songs, and then, one day, they were invited to perform at a function organised by Cinema Express magazine. Kamal suggested that they sing ‘One, a song written by Harry Nilsson and later popularised by Three Dog Night. Someone asked him if the audience would understand. He said if they could “understand” a Sanskrit shloka then they could understand this. “It’s the same. It’s all music.”

This is not a new anecdote (and people familiar with the Kamal Haasan mythology will know where this is headed), but it was something to hear it in person. The Harry Nilsson original is a mid-range song, and the Three Dog Night cover touches a few higher notes, but when Kamal Haasan launched into the number, he leaped over an octave and hit a stunning falsetto note – it isn’t there in either of the earlier versions.

This is probably how he sang the song that night, at the function, and the audience applauded. Seated in the audience, and listening very carefully to the way Kamal caught that pitch, was Ilaiyaraja.

(This is the second part of a series of articles on Kamal Haasan’s tryst with the classical arts.)

The audio release function of 'Ai' is going to be a grand carnival as the industry is getting ready to celebrate the most awaited movie of the year. Yesterday, we reported that; co-producer of Aascar movies has met Arnold and officially handed the invitation to him. Now, the big news is, both Kamalhassan & Rajinikanth will grace the occasion and will receive the first copy from the Hollywood Superstar.

The makers are in talks with a popular channel to telecast the event live, and the audio will be available as digital downloads and physical CDs from September 15th itself. Praveen Mani, who assisted Rahman for 'Ai' quoted, each song will offer a brand new experience, and will set a benchmark in Indian music.

Kamal Haasan who also directed, produced, wrote lyrics and rendered his voice for couple of songs in Vishwaroopam, in addition to playing the lead was bestowed with the Behindwoods Gold Medal for Legendary Performance in Vishwaroopam.

In his acceptance speech, Ulaganayagan said, “I had showered Balachander many a times with awards verbally, and this makes it more special and a proud moment to receive an award on the same dais as him".

He also added, “If I had wanted to give out awards personally, I would have chosen the same set of people to be recognized”

Kamal Haasan reverses the clock !
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-14/images/kamal-back-to-his-hey-days-photos-pictures-stills-1.jpg
There are times when even the closed ones have a tough time recognizing Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan. 'Aachi' Manorama never knew that 'Fletcher' was Kamal himself, even after watching Dasavatharam. There was also a fan-made portrait of Kamal, that had all the make-overs he's done, on one single sketch. The thespian puts in painstaking efforts on his looks for each and every movie. Midget, old lady, commando, cross dresser, he's done it all in style.

The recent photos from the shooting spot of Kamal's Drishyam remake, Papanasam feature him in a modest demeanour sporting a moustache and simple shirts teamed up with the 'dhoti'. Playing the role of a middle-aged family man, Kamal has apparently gotten into the skin of the character, reminding us of his Mahanadi, Singaravelan days more than two decades back.

Age is just a number for this remarkable artiste who continues to surprise, with every passing year.

Kamal helps Aamir Khan to manipulate height on screen. Very interesting news about another great skill of kamal haasan.



The Congress Party's promotional film project has run into trouble. Initially a 25-minute release, the story by Aditya Chopra was reworked by Priyanka Gandhi into a three-hour-long old-fashioned Rajshri kind of saga on the Nehru-Gandhi-Gandhi-Vadra families' contribution to the nation. The idea of the big film has led to the big problem.

Titled 'Parivar Ki Dain' and not 'den' which is inhabited by opium addicts and lions as Priyanka Gandhi told the media, the first challenge was that of finding a suitable director. Since numerous documentaries, books and Congress party advertisements on everybody except Robert Vadra are readily available, the Congress Working Committee had zeroed in on Vikram Bhatt who was expected to duplicate the highlights.

Even after Bhatt's name had been finalised, the CWC dropped him before his signing amount had been paid because of his 'inability to do more than just plagiarise.' They approached Rohit Shetty because 'his exaggerations and absurdities make his films very viewer-friendly' according to a party source. Shetty refused as expected, but he was convinced to change his stance with a 100-crore cheque.

Priyanka Gandhi was the initial choice for Indira Gandhi's role. But after she chose to write the big story and also become the Executive Producer to keep a check on expenses, the CWC along with Shetty started negotiating with Priyanka Chopra. Because she has acted in her forthcoming film 'Mary Kom,' Priyanka who now knows how looks can be changed easily agreed. The most important character that appears in countless flashbacks even after it dies was easy to select: Roshan
Seth who will play Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for the 100th time.

Getting the right person for Sonia Gandhi's character was difficult. Since she is at home with Indian culture, Priyanka Gandhi approached Julia Roberts first. She turned it down. Her Secretary sent a curt SMS to the self-appointed Executive Producer: 'Julia is annoyed because she finds the character very confusing. So, forget her.'

Fortunately, Meryl Streep who was Shetty's first choice signed on the dotted line. In exchange for her consideration, Streep demanded a hefty fee of 75 crore which has been paid in advance. Aamir Khan who will play Rajiv Gandhi has been in touch with Kamal Haasan for his guidance on how to manipulate height on the big screen. Although Aamir has volunteered to act and won't even bill the CWC for his trailer van's petrol expenses - 'I want to be a part of history' he explained
- Haasan is charging an undisclosed amount to share his technological expertise.

Randeep Hooda will be seen in a blink-and-miss appearance as Robert Vadra. Some Congress politicians will be seen in the roles of other characters such as Feroze Gandhi and Kamala Nehru. All the major leaders have offered to act. However, they will have to undergo screen tests before Shetty takes a final call, our source said.

Although the film will emphasise on the Congress in modern times, Rahul Gandhi was a telephone call in the 25-minute version. In the new one, his character has ten minutes of screen time. The big problem is, nobody wants to play him, including Rahul Gandhi.

Come on... That was a sarcastic article. :)

yeah lol...but I think cinema just wanted to stress the fact that Kamal has always been implementing different techniques to altering his height on screen.

Another new photo of Kamal with Jeeyar. Many discussions are going around about his visit and 'vibhoothi'.

wow.thanks HH. what is the english word for புளொஹாந்கிதம் :smile:

:huh: Never heard of this word UV. Something similar to Bhavyam?

Is there a rule stating that non-believers should not respect Mutt heads and should turn their face when such people apply religious symbols or alternately should not sport religious symbols when they go to meet such people or should run away when faced with a situation when they have to meet them :shrug:

Will it not look outright rude to behave badly just because the ideological position is different ?

Unnecessary controversy.

[ajaybaskar]

If you meant புளகாங்கிதம், then the English equivalent is 'Ecstatic'.

Bingo Ajay sir, thanks

என் படத்தின் trailerஐ கமல் சாரிடம் காண்பிக்க சென்றபொழுது, அவருடன் உரையாடிய சில நிமிடங்கள் மறக்கமுடியாதவை. அதில் ஒன்று –

நான் – சார்! உங்க ‘அன்பே சிவம்’ படத்துலே வர்ற ‘வாழ்க்கை ஒளித்து வைத்திருக்கும் அடுத்த வினாடி ஆச்சரியங்கள் ஏராளம்’ என்ற டயலாக்கிலிருந்து, என் படத்துக்கு ‘அடுத்த வினாடி ஆச்சரியங்கள்’னு தான் முதல்லே பேர் வச்சிருந்தேன். ஆனா, நிறைய பேரு ‘ரொம்ப நீளமா இருக்கே? பேரு வாயிலேயே வரலியே’ன்னு சொன்னதாலே simpleஆ ‘ஆச்சரியங்கள்’னு மாத்தி வச்சிட்டேன்.

கமல் – (சற்று கோபமாக) யாருங்க அந்த நிறைய பேரு? இந்த துறையிலே எக்கச்சக்கமான ‘அட்வைஸ் ஆறுமுகம்’கள் இருக்காங்க. அவங்க வேலையே தெளிவா இருக்கவங்களை குழப்பி விடறதுதான். ‘படம் length அதிகம். ஒரு 10 நிமிஷம் வெட்டுனா சூப்பரா இருக்கும்’பாங்க. எந்த 10 நிமிஷம்னு கேட்டு பாருங்க. ஒருத்தனும் பதில் சொல்ல மாட்டான். என் இத்தனை வருஷ அனுபவத்தை வச்சு ஒண்ணு சொல்றேன் ஹர்ஷவர்தன், உங்களுக்கு conviction இருக்கற விஷயத்தை தெளிவா செஞ்சீங்கன்னா, ஒருவேளை தோத்துப்போனா கூட உங்களுக்குன்னு ஒரு identity கிடைக்கும். ‘அவன் சொன்னான், இவன் சொன்னான், இப்படி எடுத்தாத்தான் அவங்களுக்கு புடிக்கும், அப்படி எடுத்தாத்தான் இவங்களுக்கு புடிக்கும்’னு compromise பண்ணிட்டே போனீங்கன்னா, ஜெயிச்சா கூட உங்களுக்குன்னு ஒரு identity கிடைக்காது’.

இப்போது நினைத்துப் பார்த்தாலும் புல்லரிக்கும் வாக்கியம், எதிரே உட்கார்ந்து கேட்டபொழுது எப்படி இருந்திருக்கும் என்று யோசித்துப் பாருங்கள்!

இந்த ‘ஆசிரியர்கள் தின’த்தில் என் மானசீக குரு கமல்ஹாசன் அவர்களுக்கு என் நெஞ்சார்ந்த வணக்கங்களும், நன்றிகளும். நான் சினிமாவில் இதுவரை போட்டிருக்கும் ஒரு சிறிய கோடும், இனி போடவிருக்கும் பெரிய ரோடும், அவருக்கே சமர்ப்பணம்.

is it Bhavanasam? i thought it is Papanasam.

Kamal trains in Tirunelveli accent for Bhavanasam
Known for experimenting with different things in his films, Kamal Haasan is training in Tirunelveli accent for his next film Bhavanasam, which is the remake of Malayalam blockbuster Drishyam.

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, who is known to experimenting with different things in his films, will be seen speaking in the Tirunelveli accent in upcoming Tamil thriller “Bhavanasam”.

He’s undergoing training for the accent for the movie, which is the remake of Malayalam blockbuster “Drishyam”.

“Kamal will be speaking in the Tirunelveli accent in some portions of the film. He hasn’t used the slang before in his films. Therefore, he’s training in it to get a hang of it from writer Suga,” writer Jeyamohan, who has penned the film’s dialogues, told IANS.

The shooting of “Bhavanasam” is currently happening in Tirunelveli.

Directed by Jeetu Joseph, who helmed the original, the film features actress Gauthami in a comeback role almost after two decades.

Superb advice from KH to a new director... in fact KH himself is an example for this...
