Kamal, Vijay and Dhanush in Russia
Tamil films Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu, Thuppakki, and Aadukalam starring Kamal, Vijay and Dhanush respectively will be screened as part of the centenary fete of Indian cinema in Russia in December. The celebrations will be organised by Indo-Russian Cultural and Friendship Society (IRCFS).
"We are celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema in Russia in collaboration with the Russian government in December. Three Tamil films 'Thuppakki', 'Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu' and 'Aadukalam' will be screened at the event," said P. Thangappan, secretary general, IRCFS.
"These films will be screened along with several other Indian films. We are yet to zero in on the final list of films to be screened at the fest," he added.
All the three films achieved critical and commercial success. Vijay-starrer action-drama 'Thuppakki' is currently being remade in Hindi with Akshay Kumar as 'Holiday'. Kamal Haasan's crime-thriller 'Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu' was one of the best cop stories of Tamil cinema, while Dhanush-starrer 'Aadukalam' won six National Awards.
Asked if the actors of the films will attend the event, Thangappan said, "We haven't personally invited them yet. It's too early to even talk about it because there is still a long way to go".

"I haven't got a degree. So, I've never stopped learning. When you get a degree, and wear that square hat with tassels on it, you think you've done it and you lean back. There is a certain amount of complacency that comes with achievement. What you perceive is achievement. When you don't, when you are insecure all the time, that's when you constantly forage for knowledge in the extra-mural dump," Kamal Hassan, Receiver of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 15th Mumbai Film Festival.
Bollywood legend Manoj Kumar was conferred with the Lifetime Achievement award while industry veteran Sridevi bagged the Best Actress honour at the closing ceremony at a film festival.
The special jury award was presented to 'Vishwaroopam' for raising the bar of mainstream Indian cinema to international level.
The award for the Best Director and Film was given to Abhishek Kapoor for 'Kai Po Che'. Best actress was given to Sridevi for her comeback film 'English Vinglish' while the Best Actor award was shared by Farhan Akhtar (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag) and Ranbir Kapoor (Barfi).
The Best Debut Director was given to Anand Gandhi for 'Ship of Theseus'.
The Best Screenplay Award was given to Juhi Chaturvedi for 'Vicky Donor'; Best Cinematography to Pankaj Kumar for 'Ship of Thesus'; Best Editing was presented to Mahesh Narayan for 'Vishwaroopam'; Best Background Score was given to Hitesh Sonik for 'Kai Po Che'.
Best Singer (female) was presented to Aditi Singh Sharma for 'Heroine' while the Best Singer (male) was given to Ayushman Khurrana for 'Vicky Donor'. While Pritam got the Best music director award for 'Barfi'.
Eminent personalities including Kamal Hassan, Kangana Ranaut, Tusshar Kapoor, Huma Quershi, Kunal Kappor, Prateik Babbar, Siddharth Malhotra, Nirmat Kaur, Prateik Babbar, Divya Dutta, Manish Paul, Resul Pookutty, Sudhir Mishra, Abhishek Kapoor, Chunkey Pandey, Ravi Kishen, Subhash Kapoor and others were part of the glittering ceremony last evening with Huma Qureshi and Kunal Kapoor welcoming the guests.
The six-day festival kicked off last week at the Fun Republic Cinema in Andheri and commenced with the exhibition of an international cinematic project 'Water' and followed with many other screenings.

அறியாமை, அரசியல் போன்றவைதான் விஸ்வரூபம் எதிர்ப்புகளுக்கு காரணம்! - கமல்
அறியாமை, அரசியல் போன்றவைதான் விஸ்வரூபத்துக்கு வந்த எதிர்ப்புகளுக்குக் காரணம், என்று நடிகர் கமல்ஹாஸன் கூறியுள்ளார். விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை எடுத்து, பெரும் தடைகளுக்குப் பிறகு வெளியிட்டார் கமல். அந்த தடைகள், எதிர்ப்புகளே அப்படத்துக்கு பெரும் விளம்பரங்களாகவும் அமைந்தன. இந்த நிலையில் அப்படத்தின் இரண்டாம் பாகத்தை வெளியிடும் முயற்சியில் உள்ளார் கமல். இப்படத்துக்கும் ஒரு இஸ்லாமிய அமைப்பு எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்தது. மேலும் படத்தை டிடிஎச்சில் வெளியிடுவேன் என கமலும் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
விஸ்வரூபம் 2-ம் பாகத்துக்கும் பெரிய எதிர்ப்புகள் வரும் என எதிர்ப்பார்க்கிறீர்களா என அவரிடம் சமீபத்தில் கேட்கப்பட்டது. அதற்கு பதிலளித்த கமல், "விஸ்வரூபம்' படத்தின் இரண்டாம் பாகம் இந்த ஆண்டு இறுதியில் வெளியாகும். இந்த படம் பணத்தையும் பாராட்டையும் அள்ளித் தரும் என் நம்பிக்கை உள்ளது. விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தின் முதல் பாகத்துக்கு எதிர்ப்புகள் கிளம்பின. அறியாமை, அரசியல், போன்ற காரணங்களால் அவை நிகழ்ந்தன. அந்த அனுபவங்களில் இருந்து இந்த படத்தை எடுத்துள்ளேன். இந்த முறை சர்ச்சைகள் இருக்காது. அறிவுப்பூர்வமாக அணுகுவார்கள் என நம்புகிறேன்," என்றார்.
The poster of #Vishwaroop2 (Hindi) with credits included.The lyrics of #Vishwaroop2 are written by Prasoon Joshi (last time by Mr. Javed Akhtar) & Music is composed by Ghibran (last time by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy).

Kamal Haasan is thinking of an increase in his films
Oct 15, 2013
We all know that Padma Shri Kamal Haasan has acted in over 190 films in Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu. In his career that has lasted for over fifty years, the actor has been bestowed with three National Awards, a Kalaimamani Award, a Padma Shri and numerous other awards that he holds up with pride.
The actor has been well received in Hindi too. His debut movie in Hindi was Ek Duuje Ke Liye which was directed by K. Balachander. He also appeared in movies like Chachi 420 and Saagar that were big hits in the box office.
However, Kamal Haasan has not been doing too many Bollywood movies of late although he has been making bilinguals in both Tamil and Hindi such as Hey Ram, Abhay, Mumbai Express and Vishwaroop. The actor was asked the same in a recent interview for which the actor said
“Vishwaroop 2' is a Hindi film as was 'Vishwaroop'. Between last year and now I have completed two films. But now I think I should increase the number of films I do in Hindi.”
It would be interesting to see the type of scripts Kamal Haasan chooses in Hindi.
#Vishwaroopam2 Music Director #Ghibran Ananda Vikatan Interview :
"விஸ்வரூபம்-2" பற்றி ?"
ஜிப்ரான்:
""என் வாழ்க்கையின் பெரிய ஆச்சர்யப் பரிசு அது ! "விஸ்வரூபம் இரண்டாம் பாகத்துக்கு நீதான் இசையமைப்ப"னு வைரமுத்து சார் சூசகமாச் சொல்லிட்டே இருந்தார். 'குட்டிப்புலி' பாடல் கம்போஸிங் பண்றப்ப, "கமலுக்கு 'வாகை சூட வா' இசை ரொம்பப் பிடிச்சிருக்கு"னு சொன்னார். "அவருக்கு உங்க மேல ஒரு கண்ணு"னு ஒருநாள் சிரிச்சிட்டே சொன்னார். இன்னொரு நாள், "அவர் உங்களை மைண்ட்ல வெச்சிருக்கார்"னு வைரமுத்து சார் சொன்ன எதையும் நான் மனசுல ஏத்திக்கலை.
அப்போதான் 'குட்டிப்புலி' படம் வெளியானது. படத்தோட பின்னணி இசையில் இளையராஜா சாரின் "பொன்னோவியம்.." பாட்டின் இசையை இயக்குநர் சேர்க்கச் சொன்னார். டைட்டில்ல இளையராஜா சார் பேரைச் சேர்க்கலை. நான் ஏதோ இளையராஜா பின்னணி இசையைத் திருடிட்டேனு செம டோஸ் வாங்கினேன். ரொம்பச் சோர்ந்துபோய் எல்லா வேலைகளையும் தூக்கிப் போட்டுட்டு பிரேயர் பண்ணிட்டே இருந்தேன். அப்பதான் கமல் சார் ஆபீஸ்ல இருந்து போன். "உடனே டெல்லிக்கு கம்போஸிங் செட்டப்போட கிளம்பிப் போங்க"னு சொன்னாங்க!"
"கமல் என்ன சொன்னார்?"
ஜிப்ரான்:
"படத்தின் இயக்குநரோட உட்கார்ந்து ஒன் டூ ஒன் செட்டப்பில் நான் மியூசிக் கம்போஸ் பண்ணது கிடையாது. அதனால கொஞ்சம் உதறல் இருந்துச்சு. பயந்துகிட்டே கமல் சாரைப் பார்க்கப் போனா, அவர் ரொம்ப கூலா பழகினார். சற்குணம்கூட வேலை பார்த்தபோது எப்படி சுதந்திரமா இயல்பா இருந்தேனோ, அப்படி இருந்துச்சு. படத்துக்கான இசையை 75 சதவிகிதம் முடிச்சிட்டேன். கமல் சாருக்கு என் மியூசிக் ரொம்பப் பிடிச்சிப்போச்சு!"
இசையமைப்பாளர் ஜிப்ரான் நேர்காணல், ஆனந்த விகடன் ()23.10.2013)
Kamal Haasan is fascinated with Lucia
Director of Kannada film Lucia has reason to fly higher than he already might be. While the success of the film is one to write home about, the fact that it is a crowd funded movie has caught the attention of Tamil star Kamal Haasan.
While in Bangalore to chalk out the various programmes for the upcoming FICCI media nd entertainment conclave, to be held in Bangalore on October 29 and 30, Kamal Haasan said, "I have not seen this Kannada film called Lucia, and I don't even know the people behind the film, but I am intrigued by how well the director has managed to involve the public in the production of his film. This highlights one of the innumerable number of options or opportunities that filmmakers can depend on for the benefit of good cinema."
The FICCI team have now invited the film's director Pawan Kumar to speak at the conclave later this month. The film is being looked at as a case study on making a movie through crowd funding.

Kamal for Jiiva

Endrendrum Punnagai is directed by Ahmed of Vaamanan fame and stars Jiiva, Trisha, Vinay and Andrea in pivotal roles. It is to be noted that this is the first time Jiiva and Trisha are teaming up and the inclusion of Andrea in the cast list is sure to up the expectation quotient further more.

With Kamal being part of the audio release, the event is sure to get a good fillip. Here is wishing the team all the best for the function and the audio all success!

The 15th edition of the Mumbai Film Festival opened last evening with Lee Daniels’ The Butler, a gripping drama of a White House staffer who saw the roll of history through the eyes of the seven Presidents he served, from Eisenhower to Reagan. Earlier, the Festival was inaugurated by the
Maharashtra Chief Minister, Prithviraj Chavan, who promised to help the Festival find greater State support in the coming years. He also conferred the Festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award on the Tamil superstar, Kamal Hassan, whose movies Chavan said had been illuminating.
Hassan, who flew into Mumbai earlier, said film festivals had been his greatest teachers, apart from directors like K. Balachander (who offered Kamal some of his first roles), Shyam Benegal (President of the Festival) and the cinema legend, Costa Gavras, who was also honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Benegal presented it.
Gavras, who migrated to Paris in 1954, running away from a hostile political climate in his native Greece, averred that cinema helped people to meet one another. It was practically a window to the world. One learnt and experienced so much by watching movies.
Now 80, Gavras is still physically agile and mentally alert, and what is more, he continues making films.
Organised by the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image and chiefly supported by Reliance Entertainment, the Festival, headed by Srinivasan Narayanan, attracted a variety of luminaries on the opening night that included Anil and Tina Ambani, Benegal, Australian auteur Bruce Beresford (President of the International jury) , Iranian director Asghar Farhadi (A Separation and also on the India Gold Jury), India-born Canada-based helmer Deepa Mehta (Water, Midnight’s Children), and actresses Nandita Das as well Sonakshi Sinha among others.
The Festival, which will run till October 24, will screen 200 movies from 65 countries categorised under heads as novel as Kabul Fresh (a string of shorts from the war ravaged region), Celebration Age, New Spanish Cinema, French Rendezvous, Spotlight on Cambodia, International Competition and the cream of Indian cinema.

Kamal Haasan and Peter Jackson are alike
National Award winning VFX Supervisor Madhusudhanan who is working on Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam 2 and has also worked with Hollywood directed Peter Jackson has said that the two legends are very much alike. He says that both Kamal Haasan and Peter Jackson are the toughest masters that he has ever worked with and both are determined what they want to see on the screen.
Peter Jackson, is a New Zealand film director, producer and screenwriter who is best known for his The Lord of the Rings trilogy and its prequel The Hobbit trilogy. The ace visual effects artist has worked in most of Kamal Haasan films including 'Alavandhan' and with Peter Jackson in The Lord of the Rings.
Madhusudhanan has earlier said that Vishwaroopam 2 is going to be a classy film with very high standards of visual effects, thanks to Kamal's vision. Kamal Haasan has written, directed and co-produced the spy thriller which will simultaneously be released in Hindi and Tamil. While most of the cast from the first film have been retained, Waheeda Rahman and Anant Mahadevan are the new faces that will be seen in the sequel.
