Kamal Haasan is a delight to work with
The best way to carry on that good man’s legacy is to make films like he did, love cinema like he did, and unearth talent like he did. K Balachanderis frozen forever in Uttama Villain on celluloid,' Uttama Villain director Ramesh Arvind tells Rediff.com contributor Praveen Sundaram.
Ramesh Arvind, a veteran actor in Kannada and Tamil cinema will be making his directorial debut in Tamil with Kamal Haasan’s Uttama Villain.
Incidentally, his first film in Kannada (Rama Shama Bhama – in 2005) was also with Haasan. It was the remake of Balu Mahendra’s Tamil film Sati Leelavati.
Aravind, who has acted in more than 120 films in all South Indian languages, is, like Haasan, a K Balachander protégé. He has also acted in two Hindi films, Aur Ek Prem Kahani and Mumbai Express.
He talks to Rediff.com contributor Praveen Sundaram about Uttama Villain.
Did you choose this project to make your debut as a director in Tamil or did Kamal Haasan pick you?
Two years ago, sometime in March 2013, Kamal Haasan asked me if I remembered a subject we had discussed once, and said, ‘I want you to handle it’.
So I picked it up and have focused only on Uttama Villain for the last two years.
Did you have many brainstorming sessions with Kamal Haasan or was it a bound script and you just had to go on the floors and direct it?
It is his story, his screenplay. But any script develops when it is bounced off others, and I was a big bounce board I think.
It is finely detailed. The next one year went into executing it, which was basically the job that I did.
The trailer appears to be a tribute to the late K Balachander…
Yes. The next trailer which we will release on March 1 with the audio release will be a tribute to KB Sir. We are what we are because of him -- Kamal Sir, I, or any of the other actors introduced by him.
Incidentally, his character’s name in Uttama Villain is Maargadarshi, meaning guide or mentor. That is what he was for us in real life. He introduced me as an actor and his last film was with us.
The best way to carry on that good man’s legacy is to make films like he did, love cinema like he did, and unearth talent like he did.
He showed us how to approach cinema. The making of Uttama Villain is a documentary tribute to the man because you will see him alive, kicking in full emotion.
You will watch KB Sir talking, walking, and crying in the film. KB Sir is frozen forever in Uttama Villain on celluloid.
Has Crazy Mohan written the dialogues?
No, they are written by Kamal, but Crazy was part of the discussions initially. We even thought of having him as our dialogue writer.
Then the film took another direction. It was another kind of humour, it had musical stuff going on and so we thought it would be unfair to use his great talent in this kind of a musical film.
The cast includes Andrea, Pooja Kumar, Jayaram, all familiar faces associated with a Kamal Haasan film. Did you cast them for the comfort factor?
One’s priority is always talent in any department. If the talent comes with goodwill and friendship, then nothing like it.
A talented guy, who also is a good friend, solves a lot of problems on the set. In any work you do, not only cinema, you want to collaborate with friends.
But like I said, talent will be the first priority.
What was your experience of working with music composer Gibran?
He is terrific! I was floored by his musical knowledge obviously, but his humility and attitude towards work are amazing!
I watched Gibran in action when I visited Chennai. I witnessed the Vishwaroopam Part 2 composition being done. I observed how he was operating with Kamal Sir, the comfort level he had. There was no looking back after that. It was a musical experience of another kind.
Uttama Villain is another ball game in terms of music, visually too, of course.
Craig Mann, the Canadian re-recording mixer, has worked in Uttama Villain. Incidentally, he won the Academy Award for Whiplash earlier this week.
I’ve been getting quite a few surprises in the last two weeks. I did a Kannada film called Accident for which I teamed up with composer Ricky Kej and then went on to collaborate in three Kannada films with him. And then this man suddenly lands up with a Grammy!
And then just two weeks later, I hear that Craig Mann, who did the sound mixing for Uttama Villain, has been awarded an Oscar!
We are happy that we have an Oscar winner in our credit list.
Have you used actors from Karnataka too, since you come from there?
Lot of actors, actually! The first 50 days of shooting happened in Karnataka and the whole film was supposed to be shot in Karnataka because my network was there and I had my team there.
Unfortunately, the worker’s strike started and we had to move to Chennai. When we were filming in Bengaluru, a lot of local talent was part of it.
Many popular Kannada faces will be speaking Tamil with Kamal Haasan.
Could Uttama Villain be a Tamil-Kannada bi-lingual or is the cultural milieu very different?
It was meant to be, but then there were logistics problems. Making a film is not a problem at all, but financial aspects are involved.
It has to be lucrative on both sides and we couldn’t arrive at a quick decision then. So now it is in Tamil and Telugu with English subtitles. But I am just waiting to do a Kannada and Tamil next.
And I’m sure you would want Kamal Hassan to be in it…
(Laughs) Of course, that would be fantastic!
Kamal is a delight. It’s delightful to have an actor of his calibre and who is so involved.
Would you like to direct more Tamil films now?
Yes! Not only in Tamil but in any language in the world which offers me a good project, something creative, and innovative. I would love to collaborate with the best minds in the industry.
When does the film release?
In the first or second week of April.

The good thing the crew does is that they are trying to give more information in 1st trailer and track list..when we hear the song and watching 2nd trailer we will get much more information without revealing the story to make the audience ready before watching the movie..

Sure ........ I am damn excited about the prospect. But vey sceotical about the movie. Too much of kamal all over it.
Cool ..
Most seem contextual ... not apt for solo listening. Got to see the response.
Seems to be in sync with the musical undertone of the film as mentioned by Ramesh Aravind in an interview. Also sets the stage to what the movie could be...
Musically very good from Ghibran's stable. But for those looking for an Anirudh musical or peppy saangs like Harris, Yuvan, etc, this is not your album.
Mostly contextual. Should make sense with visuals. Hope it's not overboard Kamal as Dr ji says. Konjam bayam. Yerkenave Eros ku nariya losses irunthunchu. :( Hope UV saves them.
On a second pass, going by the musicals, the movie could have a strong emotional content. Although situational, some tunes were quite nice. Should be a good one/interesting along with the visuals ..
This utube link not working as it is a private one. How you guys listened? Please pm me for any other source. Thanks.
Sony Music are idiots to put a utube version when their intention was to release an itunes version like their previous releases. Check gaana.com, else torrents.Quote:

Album Release Date : Mar 01,2015
CAST AND CREW1 of 2

Cast: Andrea, K Balachander, K Viswanath, Kamal Haasan, Parvathi Menon, Pooja Kumar
Direction: Ramesh Arvind
Screenplay: Kamal Haasan
Story: Kamal Haasan
Music: M Ghibran

Dialogues: Kamal Haasan
Editing: Vijay Shankar
One of the most awaited films, Uttama Villain starring Kamal Haasan, directed by Ramesh Aravind and produced by Thirrupathi Brothers in association with Raaj Kamal Films International. M. Ghibran has composed 7 songs, 7 OST’s and 3 Karaoke.
Kaadhalaam Kadavul Mun
Singers: Padmalatha
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
Beginning with the hang drums and dwelling into a scintillating voice with brilliant gamakas, a carnatic number that is sure to be used for Bharathanatyam ballets. Haunting chorus, rim shots on the hand drum, nuances like setting a ghost note on the chord progression by tingling the harp, minute detailing with accentuating effects with the Kanjira, Mridangam and chimes are all pure ingenuity.
Love’aa Love'aa
Singers: Kamal Haasan,Sharanya Gopinath,Anitha, Nivas
Lyrics: Viveka
Psychedelic chants, electronic pop, trance like EDM and quirky voices along with purposefully programmed jarring beats are this song's strong elements. Kamal's range and Sharanya's Usha Uthup like rendition add juxtaposing flavors to this uniquely sounding track. The Loveeaa Loveaa portion is addictive and will very soon develop repeated listens. The acoustic guitarist sets the pace and establishes the soul of the song. The rhythm breakdown in the second BGM is surprising and enterprising. Ghibran is exploring beyond the horizons.
Utthaman Arimugam
Singers: Kamal Haasan, Subbu Arumugam
Lyrics: Subbu Arumugam
The Morsing gives the ideal start to a Villupaatu that's busy telling a story. The group singing, manually created lively rhythms by bhols, Kamal's soulful voice especially in the thisra nadai, is inspiring. The track effortlessly changes from Mayamalagowla scale to Shankarabharanam base. The lyrics going along with the fast paced tune is foot tapping. The rhythm change towards the end with an octave higher is the goosebumps giving moment. An authentic ballad.
Saagaavaram
Singers: Kamal Haasan
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
This composition is an outrageous cry. Ektara to kindle and Kamal's range of of being a soprano is jaw-dropping. Begins in Harikambhoji and deviates to alien notes in between. A light-classical composition treated with unusual elements like using electronic beats and playing accents with the grand piano. Sounds of the sword, an allegro for the group singers and the magnanimous chenda melam are ambitious.
Iraniyan Naadagam
Singers: Kamal Haasan, Rukmini Ashok Kumar
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
A monologue driven by a sing-song pattern. A potpourri of genres, involving ball room music to carnatic to opera to hard-rock to what not? Possibly a visually driven piece, establishing a journey. An experimental, progressive track that has to grow into you. The lead vocals follow the wonderful carnatic touch which has flavours of Shakarabharanam with slight deviated notes.There is so much to notice every time you listen to it. A highly orchestrated track with brass sections, syncopated rhythms and deadly bass lines. The usage of Theyyam-exclusive instruments like chenda, kuzhal, perumabara and utuku are top class. A listening experience than to be termed as a song.
Mutharasan Kadhai
Singers: Kamal Haasan
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
Mridangam and English horn in a single song? An animation of emotions ranging from cartoon like funny portions to intriguing arrangements creating fear. With Sofia symphonic orchestra chipping in, this song has all the elements to be called purely international. The condescending arpeggios in the preludes become a strain, but the song situation might justify it. Timpani, string sessions, use of Celtic instruments and a wide variety of instruments make it a power-packed track. Absence of a set rhythm makes the song a little hard to follow. Every element in the song has a purpose and reason. The folkish ending is a relief.
Utthaman Kadhai
Singers: Kamal Haasan
Lyrics: Kamal Haasan
From a Pallavi to a sudden outburst of tunes and some dialogue driven sequences in the middle, Uttaman Kadhai narrates a story using woodwinds, brass and strings. Keeping symphony as the foundation, the composer has jumbled with a cluster of genre's. Needs repeated listening to get a hold of it. A therukoothu that is a quintessential masterpiece. From tapping the strings to acapella to tune progression, a tiresome listen that'll creatively challenge you.
Utthama Villain Theme
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
Song mastering at its best. Kamal’s haunting voice, killer sarvalagu of the percussion, didjeridoo and some unnameable drone pipe comprehending Kamal's Tuvan (overtone) like singing, are a whole new experience for the Indian ears.
Guru & Sishya
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
An instrumental track that's based on ambiance music centered around the Polka and the Waltz. If the visuals are comprehending, then this OST is bound to turn heads.
Father & Daughter
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
This track is no less for all the Zimmer like scores you come across in Hollywood films. A full-fledged orchestra with French horns to Double bass to every part of the Sofia Chamber Orchestra. Ghibran is the Indian Yanni.
Utthaman & Karpagavalli
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
The beautiful Grand Piano and the Contrabassoon along with clarinet to get along with the strings? Another orchestrated symphony that'll make you feel light.
Father & Son
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
The softer version of Iranya nadagam. Pianos, chimes, humming and mrithyumjayaho chants create a stir.
Letter From & To Yamini
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
Head singing, melancholic Pianos and the symphonic arrangements take you on a soulful trip of pure devotion. The flute in the end is a new addition to the album.
Dr. Aparna
Singers: N/A
Lyrics: N/A
Santoor, harps and Pianos merge to give a feel of letting it go. Another OST that will beautify the visuals.
Verdict: One of its kind gems in Tamil cinema music ! 3.75 ( 3.75 / 5.0 )
Wow!!!...Certainly giving the Wow effect...Expectation yegira vaikudhu...Quote:

An update from dinamalar
Songs are not peppy mass numbers (on expected lines). But certainly intriguing and I am sure it will blend well in the movie. Many songs beg for multiple listens. Gibran is talented and a good choice.
