Some strong words there from Kamal. There is a good chance of this statement being misunderstood and dubbed as an unwarranted rant on a dead person, but it makes a lot of sense for sure.

Rajesh Pillai’s sudden death at the age of 41 has sent shock waves across the Malayalam film industry. He passed on February 27, a day after the release of his last film, Vettai.
While there have been conflicting reports about the reason behind the premature demise of one of Malayalam cinema’s most promising directors, Kamal Haasan lays the blame squarely on the filmmaker’s addiction to aerated drinks.
Says Kamal, "We should not romanticise the facts or hide the truth just because the man is no more. Nothing is forgiven because some one is dead.
"I liked that overweight, intelligent guy. He was a friend and my associate Rajeev Kumar's assistant director. I had great hopes for him."
Mincing no words, Kamal Haasan attributes Rajesh’s death to his food habits.
"No wonder gluttony is condemned in every religion. His cirrhosis was not alcohol-induced. This guy ate burgers and drank aerated drinks as if his life depended on it."
Kamal says Pillai’s death should serve as a lesson to all who guzzle aerated drinks. "I can say so much as encomium for his debut film but a better message awaits through the late Mr Rajesh Pillai: please don't mimic eating habits enforced on us by avaricious merchants. Watch and know what you feed on. Animals in the Serengeti know better. I wish Pillai had died in pursuit of a difficult film instead of a simple habit to kick. A lesson for my modern Malayali brothers and sisters.
Kamal Haasan says he was planning a film with Pillai. "I was planning to remake his Traffic in Tamil. I went to their 100th day celebrations. I sat with Pillai and my writer friend Sanjay. We almost were about to start when the producer wanted more as his share to make it in Tamil. My production company, Raj Kamal Films, backed out and they made the film in Tamil with someone else."
Kamal reveals the illness that finally killed Pillai had stuck earlier.
"Sanjay told me Rajesh was hospitalised and had withdrawal symptoms from excessive aerated drinks. I thought it was a joke. I sent word to Rajesh Pillai to get his act straight and get back to work. He did manage to make a film after that but the damage was done."
Kamal Haasan is deeply saddened by the fact that Pillai is no more. "Some might say at least he died doing what he liked best. I think he liked making films more. But he couldn't get his priorities right. A few more years of work and I am sure I would have had a lot to say about him. He has denied me that opportunity."

I am sure lot of you who are connected to technology in some way share my dream of visiting the Google headquarters and fortunately my dream came true on the 12th of February 2016 because of Mr Kamal Haasan. He was invited by Google to visit their headquarters at Mountain View Californiabikes and of course I got a chance to go since I manage his digital and social media strategy!
The day was absolutely one of the best I’ve had in a few years. Starting from a seamless , drama free co-ordination by Siddharth Srinivasan and Amit Padukone to a very warm welcome from Gloria Paulsen, we felt right at home.
talksatgoogleFrom a customised Kamal Haasan themed menu and delicious meal in their incampus sought after resteraunt ‘Baadal’ to an invigorating chat hosted by Aparna Chennapragada, from a enthusiastic discussion with Srikanth Krishnamachari to an exciting VR demonstration by the Google Cardboard team every event and interaction added to a long list of notable moments.The day ended with some of the cutest gifts that we received which I am going to cherish including a limited special edition “Talks at Google”.
Mountain view from ground level ! – Kamal Haasan
Was happy to see a lot of Indian faces obviously there for their merit. The plethora of faces and races and the way they confluenced into a team seamlessly, made me proud as an Indian. These techies were quite rooted and when their noses were up it was only to see better over the shoulder of the gentleman sitting in front of him. I like techies with humility. A rare species especially in my field. So to see a lot of them packed to capacity in a hall was exhilarating. I never saw a whimsical smile or someone chuckling into their palm at the stupidity of their chief guest’s remarks. Surely they were not sitting on their hands . They were free to applaud at what they recognized as tolerably sensible answers I think it is wrong of me to even have assumed or even expect a college campus like atmosphere.
A college campus invariably consists of wannabe achievers some times wanting to be one up upon what is generally considered as intelligent being in the populist menu. Here these guys were already achievers pushing the bar higher and had no time for games. Their nostalgia was fed by my presence I guess.
I could clearly make out who was Telugu who was Kannada and who was Tamil or Telugu from the glee on their faces or applause that rose from every film named from their respective languages.
Nowadays I become embarrassingly emotional when I talk about my Gurus. Thanks be to my acting Gurus who taught me well to not only show emotions but hide them too. I remember my seniors who taught me a lot these days . Maybe because my gurus are becoming younger and younger as I grow older.
I have a feeling I will be back at Mountain view again. I like their working space Quite unorthodox hence so appealing. The question “why not? hangs like a pleasant aroma in the air. Even on the discussion table. That is an atmosphere where innovations germinate …at least for me it works . The success that Google enjoys is proof that it works for them too��

New York: Award winning Indian actor Kamal Haasan's next movie will be a comedy shot almost entirely in the US, he's going to start an acting school at a scale "much bigger than you think”, he will "definitely” make a Youtube movie and there's a secret ingredient to the Thevar Magan chemistry between Kamal and Sivaji - a love story.
Kamal Haasan opened up a treasure box of experiences and anecdotes to a room packed with fans at the New York Metropolitan museum, one of the city's great cultural landmarks toasting Indian art and artists this spring.
Kamal Haasan flew in to the US on a recce trip for his next movie and stopped by to speak at Wharton before landing in New York.
Dressed in a black silk kurta/ patiala salwar ensemble and an off-white Nehru jacket, Kamal Haasan charmed a packed hall with his spot-on wit, anecdotes, raw emotion and loads of dope on some of his best movies.
Sree Sreenivasan, the Met's chief digital officer kicked off the session introducing Kamal to an eclectic New York audience and soon threw the floor open for questions.
For Kamal fans all over the world who can't get enough of the Sivaji - Kamal chemistry in Thevar Magan, one of the wow moments of the evening came when Kamal let us in on how Sivaji allowed Kamal to "become Sivaji” in the film.
Thevar Magan, Uttama Villain, Saagara Sangamam, Viswaroopam, Sadma - Kamal Haasan spoke on many of his favorite movies, his mentor K Balachander and his craft.
Kamal spoke to Firstpost on how the Indian government has handled recent storms like the JNU Row: "If your manifesto is weak, you manifest hallucinations for people. When you have a strong goal and tenacity of purpose, any squabble can be settled,” he said.
"Democracy is a vague word, it's a lot like love. We have to keep raising our voice. We have seen other governments. Have they been saner?"
Below are the best moments from Kamal's 90 minute session, starting with movies, finishing off with politics.
"I wrote Thevar Magan…It's a Sivaji-Kamal love story”
I wrote Thevar Magan (stunned silence...and then ringing applause). Some of those sequences in the film where you feel we have rehearsed…yes Sivaji Saab and I have practised those scenes for years and years. I have spoken to him, spoken back to him…including about my marriage. When I invited him to my marriage, he asked me if i was informing him or inviting him. He was hurt and I could see that hurt. He said your father is not attending your marriage and you expect me to! Then I said yes, I am informing you. But then he loved me and you will see those moments in the film. So, yes, we did rehearse over many years in real life for Thevar Magan. As a writer, when I showed him the lines, he smiled at me…he knew where I was coming from. Thevar Magan is a love story about Sivaji and me. I wanted to become him and he allowed me to become him and for that I am grateful. A lot of circles likes these have been completed in my life, in my film - his son accepted me as his own elder brother. KB saab (K Balachander) acting in my film, in my script…in Uttama Villain. I learnt everything I know from him. Lots of love went into making Uttama Villain, I am glad I got KB saab into the movie just in time. During the movie, he often asked me "What will you do if I die?” I told him he's taught me enough tricks, I can manage.
"I wanted to be a film technician”
However reluctant an actor I may have been, all actors have a price. As the price kept increasing, my reluctance kept decreasing. I woke up in this film industry when I was 3 and a half. When I later joined the industry as a technician at 16, I realised the engine was controlled by the backroom and I dreamed of becoming one.
"I see something special in you”, Balachander said
My mentor and visionary K Balachander who promoted me from a bit role actor to an actor with 4-5 scenes per film…he asked me what I wanted to become and by then it was clear he liked me. I told him I want to be a director like you. So you want to come to the studios in a autorickshaw? he asked me. "But you come in a car,” I said. Then Balachander said I could do better than that…I see something in you, he told me…you're training for it. Just make yourself a home, buy yourself a car and then think about it. You have it in you, any amount of training will not take that away from you, he told me. But I was very reluctant…I was a bit careless…I so hated the repetitive work, I ran away to Kerala to do more meaningful work.
"I am so touched by the love I get”
The films that I thought were the best in my career were outdone by masters who came up with better films.
In Telugu - Maro Charitra, In Hindi - Ek duje ke liye and then Sagara Sangamam…These are also my favourite films because when we were doing the films, we enjoyed it so much that we never thought about what will come out of it. Today, so many years later, when I see the love and affection in my fans' eyes, I am so touched by how grateful they are…I was doing a job and getting paid for it ( laughs). There are other films which were celebrated a bit belatedly - like Balachander's Avargal. It was in anger that he made Maro Charitra. Balu Mahendra's Kokila which did very well in Kannada, and Moondrampirai. Sadma did not do well at all. This new boy from South India who dances well in one movie is doing Sanjeev Kumar stuff in Sanam Teri Kasam...some of that did not work.
"The bigger you become, the more complacent you can become”
People who rely on GPS…all of you! Without a director, you can't move ahead. The director is the first mirror you see…that's where he comes in…The bigger you become the more complacent you can become…that's why we need a director, that's why you need co actors, technicians - everyone. We navigate with the help of each other.
When will we see a Rajini - Kamal movie?
We've been talking about it…some business expert will have to work out how to make a movie with Rajini and me after we have collected our fee!
"I get offended when…”
I'm doing a Hindi film now but I get offended when they ask is there also someone from the Hindi film industry….I get offended when I get dissected and separated like this. This happens in the industry - not the creative folks.
"I used to dance 7 hours a day”
I needed one more excuse to get out of school ( laughs). It (dance) started as a whim but I got sucked in. I was the audience when my sister was learning Bharatanatyam. I was drawn to it. My teacher was looking for a place to stay with his wife and small daughter and we had a room upstairs. His dance classes shifted there. He was a nice teacher and thought I should learn all forms of dance. I was 12,13,14….and it was 7 hours of practice every day. I wanted to become like Uday Shankar saab. I found that there were no backers for that. I was so upset, I threw my ghungroo into the sea and said I won't go back to that. I was ready to do anything, even mazdoori. But I got a job only because of my dance - as a dance assistant. At 18, I started co writing with RC Sakthi, at 19 I acted in a film I wrote. Many years later, we brought all that back with Birju Maharaj in Viswaroopam. For that movie, we trained with him for 2 months. He touched my head and said I see a young Birju in you. I said your style is not easy Sir, I have been watching you for 40 years. That is the depth of my love for that art.
Do film budgets force actors to do song sequences that are not necessary?
Absolutely, it's such a bare truth that we are trying to hide.
"When you crash with comedy, it's dead”
"Comedy is equally difficult. The accidents that can happen are far worse than what happens in action sequences. When comedy falls flat, it's dead. My training with Balachander he was capable of making a Bama Vijayam or an Arangetram. For me doing Mahanadi and Panchatantram is equally difficult. When I watch Mahanadi, when he reclaims his daughter, I cry. I become you and that is the success of the whole team.
"I owe my kids the freedom I had"
I was a very late child, I was suddenly a little toy who appeared out of nowhere. My eldest brother is 24 years older than me, the second brother Chandra Haasan who's my partner in my company is 18 years older - so everyone experimented with me. My father was 51 when I was born, I should have been named Oops Haasan. By 13, I was talking rationalism and did not participate in any of the religious things my father did. They allowed me to do that after a deep discussion. Now, when I give my kids freedom and they ask me why and I say I owe it.
"Our ambitions are oversized, skills training is limited"
The world requirement for engineers per annum is a million. We produce 900,000 of them every year. We have a situation where engineers are ready to become chauffers. What we need are skilled workers of international quality. I have thought about it very selfishly…we need to step up the quality. I am a worker myself…and it's not easy to learn skills in India. I was very fortunate to find kind gurus who paid me and taught me. Everyone wants to become an actor or director. Our ambitions are oversized. Straightaway we land up and want it all. We are recognising prior skills and listing them out in existing industries and enhance it with training. Now we aspire to have master carpenters, for example. Within the media and entertainment field itself the verticals are mind boggling. Within make up for example, you can have so many types of make up; within music production, there are so many specialities and we need well trained, world class people. The government is putting in some money - but remember that dole will not work. The industry has not yet invested money only time. Eventually, the indsutry will have to spend money, and not just sit back and complain. We are complacent that we have a captive market at home.
"Democracy is a vague word, it's like love"
I think we'll have to be on constant vigil. Freedom of speech is not like money in the bank. There's always some government, some institution trying to silence you. Allowing you to use expletives in cinema is not freedom. We are trying to reform the censor certification system - all that with clear understanding that nowhere will freedom of speech be troubled. If your manifesto is weak, you manifest hallucinations for people. When you have a strong goal and tenacity of purpose, any squabble can be settled. Yes, people are getting upset…you call yourself a nation but there's always a dictator lurking, there's always fascism lurking, there's always a left wing trying to prove that they're the only answer to all the woes of the world. We are now in a buffet system where there are all kind of political systems available. We have to pick and choose our political diet very carefully. I have never been comfortable with politics in India so why should I be now? Democracy is a vague word, it's like love. We have to keep raising our voice. We have seen other governments. Have they been saner? India has great responsibility towards itself in the world. We cannot bring in caste and religion. Religion will not and must not come in the way of the ascent of man.
That was brilliant. Thanks for sharing Mr Dell
Very good one.
We see some more additions to the existing list . May be more time allowed and with open minded audience. No strings attached.
Our man is defitinitely a "No - nonsense" kind. He is clear right from the age of 13 on his ideology front. So the only times he gets a compromise is for the art he loves so much?
That is phenomenal.
He is so admissive of the reluctance part of being an actor. How many of them today can say these things?
Someone who co wrote the script has complemented well and given all the space he wished . Great job .
I wish he does more of such mentoring and thoughtful sessions. Another " Mann Ki Baat "forum in a small and meaningful way.
Sincerely he should stop attending functions like the Audio releases , ribbon cutting etc. So much of his time (now limited) is being spent unwarranted. Hope my wishes come true.
Dell_gt. Thanks a lot sir for sharing this wonderful piece.

கமல் இல்லையென்றால் நான் இல்லை: இயக்குனர் மகேந்திரன் புகழாரம்
http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4ykbkhqk.jpg
கமல் இல்லையென்றால் தான் ஒரு இயக்குனராக தமிழ் சினிமாவில் உருவாகியிருக்கமாட்டேன் என்று ‘வாஹா’ ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டில் இயக்குனர் மகேந்திரன் கமலுக்கு புகழாரம் சூட்டியுள்ளார். விக்ரம் பிரபு-ஷாமிலி நடிப்பில் உருவாகியுள்ள ‘வாஹா’ படத்தின் ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு விழா இன்று சென்னையில் நடைபெற்றது. இந்த விழாவில், நடிகர் கமல், இயக்குனர் மகேந்திரன், பிரபு, ராம்குமார், விக்ரம் பிரபு, தயாரிப்பாளர் சங்க செயலாளர் டி.சிவா, பி.எல்.தேனப்பன், தனஞ்செயன், விஜய் ஆண்டனி, கணேஷ் வெங்கட் ராமன், இயக்குனர் சசி, சீனு ராமசாமி, இசையமைப்பாளர் டி.இமான், நடிகை ரன்யா ராவ் உள்ளிட்டோர் கலந்துகொண்டனர்.
இந்த விழாவில் இயக்குனர் மகேந்திரன் பேசும்போது, நான் மற்றவர்கள் மாதிரி சினிமாவுக்கு விரும்பி வந்தவன் இல்லை. அழைத்து வரப்பட்டவன். ஆரம்பத்தில் எனக்கு படம் இயக்கும் எண்ணம் இல்லை. ஆனால் என்னுடைய முதல் படமான ‘முள்ளும் மலரும்’ படத்தை கட்டாயப்படுத்தி இயக்க வைத்தவர் கமல்.
அந்த படத்தை நான் ஆசைப்பட்ட மாதிரி எடுக்க நினைத்தேன். ஆனால், எனக்கு சரியான கேமராமேன் அமையவில்லை. நல்ல டேஸ்ட் உள்ளவர்கள் கிடைக்கவில்லை. உடனே, கமல் சார்தான் பாலுமகேந்திராவை எனக்கு அறிமுகப்படுத்தி அந்த படத்தை நல்லவிதமாக எடுக்க உதவினார்.
அந்த படத்தோட படப்பிடிப்பு கிட்டத்தட்ட முடிவடைந்து ‘செந்தாழம் பூவில்’ பாடலும், ஒரு காட்சியும் மட்டும் படமாக்கப்பட விருந்தது. ஆனால், தயாரிப்பாளர் தரப்பிலிருந்து இந்த படத்துக்கு இனிமேல் செலவு செய்யமுடியாது என்று கைவிரித்துவிட்டார்கள். அந்த காட்சியையும், பாடலையும் படமாக்கமலேயே படத்தை வெளியிடலாம் என முடிவு செய்தார்கள். ஆனால், எனக்கு அதில் திருப்தியில்லை.
இதை கமல் சாரிடம் சென்று நான் கூற, அவர் தயாரிப்பாளரிடம் பேசினார். அவருடைய பேச்சுக்கும் தயாரிப்பாளர் செவிசாய்க்கவில்லை. இறுதியில், கமல் தனது சொந்த செலவிலேயே அந்த பாடலையும், காட்சியையும் படமாக்குகிறேன் என்று சொன்னார். அவர் சொன்னதுபோல் அந்த காட்சியையும், பாடலையும் எடுக்க பண உதவி செய்தார். அந்த காட்சியும், பாடலும் படத்திற்கு பெரிய பக்கபலமாக அமைந்தது என்று சொல்லலாம். நான் இன்று ஒரு இயக்குனராக இந்த மேடையில் நிற்கிறேன் என்றால் அது கமல் என்ற மாபெரும் கலைஞனால்தான் என்று பேசினார்.
To think Kamal was not even 24 when this happened!!!

தமிழ் சினிமாவில் வள்ளல், பரோபகாரி என்றால் அது எம்.ஜி.ஆர்., அவரைவிட்டால் ரஜினி. சிவாஜியும், கமலும் எச்சில் கையால் ஈ ஓட்டாதவர்கள். ஆனால், அணுகி ஆராய்ந்தால் இந்த உண்மை அப்படியே உல்டாவாக இருக்கும். கமல் விஷயத்தில் இது நூறு சதவீதம் சரி.
எழுத்தாளர்களை தமிழ் சினிமாவில் அதிகம் அறிமுகப்படுத்தியவரும், அவர்களை அதிகம் பயன்படுத்தியவரும் கமலே. ரா.கி.ரங்கராஜன், மதன், பாலகுமாரன், சுஜாதா என்று பலரை சொல்லலாம். பாலுமகேந்திராவின் இயக்கத்தில் கமல் மூன்றாம் பிறை படத்தில் நடித்துள்ளார். அந்த ஒரே படம்தான், அதிகம் கிடையாது.
ஒருமுறை பாலுமகேந்திராவுக்கு பணமுடை. இரண்டு லட்சங்கள் தேவை. யாரிடம் கேட்டும் கிடைக்காமல் கமலை அணுகியுள்ளார். படங்கள் குறித்து கமலும், பாலுமகேந்திராவும் மணிக்கணக்கில் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்திருக்கிறார்கள். கமலிடம் எப்படி, எப்போது சரியாக பணம் கேட்பது என்று பாலுமகேந்திரா தவித்துக் கொண்டிருந்திருக்கிறார். கேட்டால் தருவாரா என்ற ஐயம் ஒருபுறம்.
பேச்சினிடையே உள்ளே சென்ற கமல், பத்து லட்ச ரூபாய் எடுத்து வந்து, ராஜ் கமலுக்காக நீங்க ஒரு படம் பண்ணித் தரணும், இது அட்வான்ஸ் என்று தந்திருக்கிறார். உதவி பெறுகிறோம் என்ற கழிவிரக்கம் தோன்றாதபடி, படம் இயக்கித்தர செல்லி பணத்தை தந்திருக்கிறார் கமல். அதனை பாலுமகேந்திராவே பலமுறை கூறியுள்ளார். அப்படி உருவானதுதான் சதிலீலாவதி படம்.
வாகா பாடல்கள் வெளியீட்டு விழாவில், தனது முதல் படம் முள்ளும் மலரும் குறித்து சில ஆச்சரிய தகவல்களை வெளியிட்டார், இயக்குனர் மகேந்திரன்.
படம் இயக்கும் எண்ணம் இல்லாமலிருந்த அவரை முள்ளும் மலரும் படத்தை இயக்க வைத்ததே கமல்தான் என்றார். முள்ளும் மலரும் படத்துக்கு சரியான கேமராமேன் கிடைக்காதபோது, பாலுமகேந்திராவை கமல்தான் மகேந்திரனுக்கு அறிமுகப்படுத்தி வைத்துள்ளார். படம் கிட்டத்தட்ட முடிவடைந்த போது, ஒரு காட்சியையும், செந்தாழம் பூவில் பாடலையும் எடுக்க வேண்டாம், பணமில்லை என்று கூறியிருக்கிறார் படத்தின் தயாரிப்பாளர். இது பற்றி மகேந்திரன் கமலிடம் கூற, கமல் தயாரிப்பாளரிடம் பேசியுள்ளார். அப்போதும் தயாரிப்பாளர் முடிவை மாற்றிக் கொள்ளவில்லை. வேறு வழியின்றி செந்தாழம் பூவில் பாடலையும், அந்த காட்சியையும் எடுக்க தனது சொந்த பணத்தை தந்துள்ளார் கமல்.
தான் நடிக்கும் படம் நஷ்டமடைந்தால் கோடிக்கணக்கில் சம்பளமாக பெற்ற பணத்தில் சிறு தொகையை திருப்பித் தருவதை வள்ளல்தன்மையாக சித்தரிப்பவர்கள் தான், தனது போட்டியாளர் நடித்த படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்புக்கு பண உதவி உள்பட பல உதவிகள் செய்த கமலை சுயநலவாதி என்கிறார்கள்.
தமிழ் சினிமாவில் கொண்டாடப்படும் திறமைசாலிகளை இந்த உலகம் கண்டுகொள்ளும் முன், அடையாளம் கண்டு பாராட்டியவரும், அவர்களை முன்னிறுத்தியவரும் கமல் என்பதற்கு இந்த இரு மலரும் நினைவுகளே சான்று.

Kamal and Sivaji's specialty is different and media mostly concentrates on those aspects...... MGR and Rajini had different kind of popularity for a different kind of reason and media cashed in on that.... just because certain thing is highlighted, glorified, exaggerated (or even beaten to death) in a person for their own TRP rating (or any other perceived benefit), his / her rival doesnt have that / lag behind this person nu artham kidayathu...... may be at a fan level......... fans kulla pesiruppanga........enga aal lam yaaru theriyum la..un aalu athuku pakkathu la kooda vara mudiyaathu etc.,
Charity based popularity can be manipulated easily.
How will we even come to know if it is really done silently?
Once a late malayalam actor's son told in a news paper interview, years and years after the death of his father, that one actor/star helped them to pay the hospital bills during the last days of his father.
Until then no one had come to know about this "charity". (Even after this interview, no media made it a big news as they would not have got paid for that)
I know some working people who give 15-20K to as charity and get the bill for 1-1.5L and claims tax benefit. (Yes, it happens)
Here these folks do for tax benefit. Same can be done by STARs for their popularity.
