One malayalam channel reported the same today !!
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.

Lets hope everything goes well ...
''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!

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
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.
