Kamal to re-enact his role in the Kannada remake of Sathi leelavathi being directed by Ramesh Arvind starting this week.VV will follow this.
Hi Folks,
I heard that Kamal made a great profit out of MX audio in Tamil Nadu. How abt Hindi & Telugu?
Any idea on this matter?
Bye
Who told you?I am yet to see one report which gives out exact details of how all the April 14th releases have fared-film&music.CM has got the max response&Sify says the audio sale is 2.5 lakh,ok.What about the other two?Quote:

I think Ramesh&Kamal will redo their roles of Sathi Leelavathi in Kannada. Shruthi will replace Kalpana&Daisy Bopanna(a stunning model/actress)will do Heera's role.Urvashi will be paired with Kamal instead of Kovai Sarala.With both Kamal&Urvashi being weak as far as colloquial Kannada is concerned,I think they will play tamilians or malayalees talking in kannada.That will negate their funny accents.Quote:

To a question, he said he had no plans to go to Hollywood.
“I am not going there. I am shy and have never been a good marketing man. But if they come to me with a role suitable to my talent, I may consider”, he said.
Kamal's marketing genius at work again - by calling himself a very shy (????!) and not good at marketing (??? --)))), Kamal is actually marketing himself!

There are two particular parts that are may favorites: One about 30 seconds from the start with rapid drum beats and one later about 30-40 seconds from the end when a chorus of violins join in. I think overall the album is brilliant.
I'm not sure but i think it's running at Balaji theatre, Vivek Nagar.Quote:

I wonder why KH dumped IR in next movies such as vettaiyAdu vilaiyaadu or Dhasaavathaam??Quote:

I feel really bad that he dumped IR who came up with an excellent music in his last movie,
MX as QUOTED ABOVE by vysar :cry: :cry: :cry:
Could any genius educate me and explain the "rationale" here???
Thank you in advance! :notworthy:
Kamal is a pro...When his role is to do the acting part, he does just that ( and never interferes with the technical crew of the movie. He doesn't even interfere in selecting the heroine. But once in a while our man gives some "creative inputs" to the director ;-)
For all his home production (in which he acts) Kamal uses ONLY Raja.
i could see that in many movies with heroines have to rearrange their lip makeups now and then :lol: :lol:Quote:

Yes, apart from Hey Ram where he initially went for L.Subramaniam, he always goes for IR as his MD for his home productions. With films like VV, Dasavatharam etc, though he has a commanding influence, he lets the makers decide who the MD will be. He doesn't interfere in these things, contrary to popular perception. Also, he might feel that it is the director's call because it is the director's comfort and the ability to extract the best from the MD which is more important than Kamal's personal preference of MD.
This should be obvious looking at his films (home productions and otherwise).
Moreover, Kamal shares a very close relationship with Ilaiyaraaja which no other actor has. This can be seen from the foreword in Ilaiyaraaja's book "Paalnila Payanangal".
it is said that in "Indian" there is a little clash between kamal and shankar...Quote:

digression....
Have you guys read kamal's "thEdi theerpOm vaa" ? Its a collection of essays by kamal...Some of them are quite thought provoking. A friend of mine took my copy and never returned.
Is it avbl somewhere ?
Don't say so ! There r ppl who r HC fans of both Kamal & ARR, like me...and many ARR fans do like Kamal too(Kamal need not be their fav actor), unlike u ! :wink: ....Quote:

I havent seen any movie where Kamal promote "no god" issue, since he knows very well that its his opinion and not his fans.
Also what Kamal said after Indian is that "people are gossiping about issues between me and arr. for all of them all I can say is that the movie is progerssing very well and the music will he a big hit once released", KH also mentioned many times that he is IR fan and he dont need to go to any other Md for his movie, but when he act for others (he specifically mentioned about KSR who mentioned that KH like IR but not everyone like IR), he will not interfere.
I will try to post some pic of KH-ARR durign Dasavatharam, where they both seems to be happily arguing something! :roll:
Maddy !
I quote njv's reply abt professionalism here , I feel this is very apt.
Kamal as everyone knows is atheist , since his very early days...I've seen him voicing his opinions from his earliest movies like KB's "Nizhal Nijamagirathu", but yet hasn't he acted as theist that too in characters seem too close to GOD, for ex:- "SippikkuL muthu", "Sigappu kal mookkuthi"....Quote:

guys, my hands are really tied down by the restriction of posting abt religions in this forum.....otherwise i can quote umpteen instances where kamal has tried to discriminate a particular caste/religion which happens to be mine.......though bharathiraja and SJSuryah have done it they have not pursued with it......kamal has persisted on it......
The only caste/religion where people could freely make fun of is brahmins, for they think brahmins are quiter/soft/useless people. the only guy who elevate brahmins is Shankar, cuz he himeself is a brahmin.Quote:

Maddy !
I know wat u mean :)
Kamal is a brahmin by birth as well ! Isn't it?
It is a well known fact that kamal doesn't force directors or producers to book IR. But, for his home production,by default ,IR is the MD.Those who follow TFM would know this :)
If ARR is offered a kamal movie, he would definitely do it.People in the indian film industry knows the class and calibre of kamal more than we do.No technician for that matter would deny a chance to work with kamal.
I have seen ARR fans keeping ARR above kamal while discussing about their combo.May be they are upset that ARR doesn't get many kamal movies :). World knows who is the best.
Regarding shankar-kamal, shankar in a recent chat after anniyan (with sify) had said that kamal IS his favourite actor in TFM.so, don't worry.they will work together in future.
I don't think kamal forces his thoughts about religion in his movies.This is ceratinly a biased opinion.There are bad examples like sathyaraj,shankar-sujatha combo etc...
there are 3 things here rooky:Quote:

3. y do u call shankar-sujatha combo bad...i dunt get it....
njv,
you said it right...brahmins are easy targets to make fun of. A whole generation was spoiled by the DK/DMK making fun of Brahmins. The ONLY aspect of kamal that i hate is his explicit stmts against brahmins a.la dmk/dk.
Vasanth,
kamal is iyengar by birth :-(
Raja is a thorough pro...He scored for a movie called kadavuL (a hopelessly stupid movie by a non entity called velu prbakaran) which again promotes atheism in a big way. according to velu, theist = brahmins...Had he made fun of "other" religions, he wudn't've been alive to make his next movie.
I got a shock of my life when a friend of mine, who has no reasons to lie on these things, told me about a strange (superstitious) practice by Kamal just before the release of his movies. I won't quote it, but the same friend visits this forum, if he wishes he can elaborate it :-)
Rooky,
what's wrong with shankar-sujatha combo ? Except in boys, I have liked their take on the subjects they make movies on.
njv,
I don't think shankar is a brahmin.
Shankar,
I know the 'superstition'you are referring to,I,tmrrmt&AA had a argument about this some time back.And Yes,Director Shankar is NOT a Brahmin.
Not just Kamal,a lot of 'Brahmins'in the film industry including Sujatha have made fun of this caste various times in their movies.I wonder why :?It a DK,DMK culture.Why do these guys follow it?
At the same time I see a more mature Kamal these days regarding God,religion,caste etc.He comes across as more profound in his statements than a rabble rousing so called Dravidian politician.
MADDY,
These are so many HCKH fans who don't agree with his thoughts on religion etc including Yours truly.But just for that to come up with statements like SRK is a better actor is toooooo much.
We are talking about film activity related talents,accomplishments.Why confuse it with personal idelogies,character,behaviour etc?
My few cents on this:
whether ppl agree with this or not, I dont know - strangely, it is Manu's caste-based system that is proving a stumbling block to alien forces, especially those hellbent on religious conversions, to make their mark in India!
In the entire South East Asia and Africa, 'souls' have been easily harvested by two major religious groups.
only in India, the 'soul harvesting' phenomenon is finding its stumbling blocks - even today, in the Tirunelveli area, Pettai is dominated by one particular minority community, while Palayankottai dominated by another - but despite this, the problems being faced by these 'mass conversion' programs are enormous, ONLY because some communities within the Hindu fold, strongly resist conversions -
therefore, the supreme objective to break these shackles is to put down specific caste-based communities, with the ulterior motive of conversions!
I am saying this because, my native place is a place called Panthalgudi near Saathhoor, which is all close to Tirunelveli-Madurai area! and we get hard-core authentic facts from there!
Brahmin-bashing is part and parcel of such orchestrated efforts to malign the face of Indian society and entertainment 'moghuls' find it quite convenient and also often becomes a handy tactic to gain popularity!
And it is not just a coincidence that one particular lady from Tamil Nadu was recently honored by an award by a major religious based group from abroad!
This assumes major significance, more so, after the lady withdrew her earlier clarion call for all bans on religious conversions in Tamil Nadu (following her open rebuke to the statement on Tamil Nadu's anti-conversion law made by a big-time minority leader based near Italy) and even more so, after the arrest of another religous leader!
In Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, one minority community, thanks to its affluence and accessibility to modern arms and weaponry, indulged in a pogrom/mass murder of another community, which was economically poorer - but the world gave scant regards - but events in Gujarat, get amplified global media attention, in the name of 'gross human rights' violations!
That, a country/society whose cultural heritage even considers killing animals for satisfying one's hunger is portrayed as a backward, 'minority' targetting barbaric populace, and that too, by whom ?! by a bunch of nations, whose societies, have value systems that stink to heaven and glory!
To be a part of the majority in India is a sin that many of us have to live with!
"That, a country/society whose cultural heritage even considers killing animals for satisfying one's hunger is portrayed as a backward"
should read as " That, a country/society whose cultural heritage even considers killing animals for satisfying one's hunger a grave sin, is portrayed as a backward"
<< Digression >>
tmrrmt neenga panthalkudiya :) am from aruppukottai, pakkathu oor thaan..... actually naan kooda panthalkudi than coz my granddad is a pandhalkudi native....
<< End Digression >>
yeah i agree it is easy to pick soft targets...and thatz why Brahmin bashing is so widely prevalent in Tamilnadu.... it is a style those days i guess, to be an atheist.....

2.Not in TN alone man..He is the only actor in India to have direct hits in different languages..(few movies :Tamil as u may know,Telugu- swathi muthyam,kannada- pushpaka vimana, hindi - ek duje keliyae,malayalam -chanakyan,etc..).Dont think that kamal is known or popular only in TN:) ARR is as popular as kamal in India and not more..Let ARR score music in a proper hollywood movie and if it gets popular and all the hollywood and the entire world acknowledge his talents !!! You should note one thing.MDs in hollywood are way ahead in their own music,which ARR gives us here.
3.If anti-caste or religion is an issue,than pro-caste or religion is equally unacceptable.U can see this in all shankar-sujatha combo movies

<<<<<<<<<<
On what basis are you quoting this ? Is it bcos, barat bala publicises even hair-style change in arr as an event to celebrate about ?? I won't go by the newspaper coverages, and publicity stunts.
ARR definitely is popular (He's THE best MD in bollywood, after all :-) ). But Kamal is THE most popular south Indian film personality in the north followed by arr and mr.
I guess you do not mean, if he does NOT ACT in his OWN PRODUCTON, he MIGHT NOT go to IR? :roll:Quote:
