A rendezevous with Kamal Haasan
4 Apr, 2009, 0012 hrs IST, Krishna Gopalan & Nandini Raghavendra, ET Bureau
Versatility is an easy synonym to use for dancer, singer, director, producer and, of course, actor Kamal Haasan. Millions across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi and even Bengali cinema have cheered the man in these avatars over the past three decades. Although modesty, the industry says, is not a Haasan attribute, ET Correspondents caught this quick-witted actor in a mood of humility.

As he draws gently into his cup of tea, Kamal Haasan displays a composed look. His last movie to hit the screens, Dasavatharam, that was released nearly a year ago, set the cash registers ringing and Haasan's satisfaction with its success is evident. "It was made with budgets that were unheard of in the Tamil film industry and it made four times the kind of money that was possible," he says matter-of-factly of the movie that cost producer, Oscar Ravichandran Rs 60 crore and is said to have raked in over Rs 200 crore with a Hindi version ready for release.

Kamal starts shooting bilingual remake of 'A Wednesday'
Bangalore (IANS): Versatile actor Kamal Hassan has started shooting for his new bilingual film which is a remake of the critically acclaimed Hindi film A Wednesday.

Kamal's production banner Raj Kamal has joined hands with Mumbai's UTV Studios for this film.

Actor Chakri who had earlier worked in Kamal-starrer Sagara Sangamam is making his debut as a director with this film.

Kamal's daughter Shruthi will be composing the music of the film. Shruthi will be making her debut as a music director with this film.

It has been almost an year since Kamal has faced the camera after completing the shooting of the block buster Dasavathaaram, which raked in more than Rs 250 crore worldwide.

Kamal has started shooting of his new bilingual film on April 7 at Ramoji Film City near Hyderabad. The film is a remake of Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher-starrer A Wednesday which became a surprise hit besides being critically appreciated.

The Telugu version of the film titled Ee Nadu will have Telugu film industry's leading star Venkatesh playing the role of Anupam Kher. Malayalam superstar Mohan Lal will be essaying the same role in the Tamil film titled Unnaipol Oruvan.

Kamal Hassan will be playing the role played by Naseeruddin Shah in both the versions of the film.

actually, long time back I had read in one of the articles from economic times or business india that VR grossed nearly 300C but the link doesn't have the article anymore. there are many news articles claiming various figures for VR.

''Will Vishwaroopam 2 be controversial?'', Pooja Kumar answers Aug 27, 2013

Pooja Kumar who acted as Kamal Haasan’s wife in Vishwaroopam, spoke about her role in Vishwaroopam 2 in a recent interview. She mentioned that she would not be playing a nagging wife like what she played in the first part of the sequel and that she would be involved in a lot of action sequences.
“My expertise as a scuba diver has been put to full use” she says.
Speaking about the controversy surrounding the release of Vishwaroopam, she mentioned that Kamal Haasan should have the freedom to express his thoughts as this is a democracy. She also added that the censor board has been appointed and trained to allow only those films that are for entertainment and for the welfare of the audience.
“In whatever way. At least it had an impact and that's what I think we all, including Kamal sir, were looking for.” She added
She is quite sure that there will be no controversy in Vishwaroopam 2 and that the movie should come out without any problem.

தீபாவளிக்கு இல்லை, பின்னர் சோலோவாக வரும் விஸ்வரூபம் 2

கமலின் விஸ்வரூபம் 2 படம் தீபாவளிக்கு ரிலீஸ் ஆகாது என்று கூறப்படுகிறது. சிக்கல் என்றால் சிக்கல் இடியாப்ப சிக்கலில் சிக்கி ஒரு வழியாக ரிலீஸானது கமல் ஹாஸன் நடித்த விஸ்வரூபம். படம் ஹிட்டானதற்கு சர்ச்சைகளே காரணம் என்று கூட கூறப்பட்டது. இந்நிலையில் விஸ்வரூபம் 2 பட வேலைகள் முடியும் நிலையில் உள்ளன. படம் தீபாவளிக்கு ரிலீஸாகும் என்று கூறப்பட்டது. அதனால் பாக்ஸ் ஆபீஸில் அஜீத்தின் ஆரம்பமும், விஸ்வரூபமும் வசூல் வேட்டை நடத்துவதில் போட்டி போடும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்பட்டது. இந்நிலையில் விஸ்வரூபம் 2 தீபாவளிக்கு ரிலீஸாகாது என்று கூறப்படுகிறது. படம் சோலோவாக ரிலீஸாகுமாம். வரும் நவம்பர் அல்லது டிசம்பர் மாதத்தில் ரிலீஸாகலாம். அதிக ஸ்கிரீன்களில் வெளியிடவே இந்த முடிவாம். டிசம்பர் மாதம் கோச்சடையான் வரலாம் என்கிறார்களே. ஒரு வேளை கமல், ரஜினி படங்கள் பாக்ஸ் ஆபீஸில் மோதுமோ?

Do not panic about other biggies in Hindi. Do not keep any hope with the Hindi version because with ZERO marketing even if it get s a solo release in Hindi, it will sink.
And who cares about Hindi !

yeah...not much to care about the hindi version but my worry is we won't get max. screens for VR-2 or it will get reduced due to dhoom3 release. is it not? if it is a solo release then it has to be continuous 4-6 weeks of run without any other major releases in between.

+1. 'they' are biased about south and i face it daily. the horrible kuppais like cx are crossing 200c just like that but vr being one of the path breaking movie is sidelined. south india and US/UK BO is enough for us.

Tell this to thalaivar. I simply can't understand his obsession with Hindi. Why so much effort for 12 Crs collection ? is he trying to make a statement there? No matter how hard he tries he'll never be accepted there.

While I agree on the fact that the hindi film industry does produce its share of craps, I feel one should not overlook the efforts of the likes of an Anurag kashyap, Dibaker Banerjee and a Vikramaditya Motwane. Good films are being produced as well and they are being appreciated. So I feel there is nothing wrong with Kamal going for the hindi audience. What irks me is his constant trial by fire with bi-linguals.For example, Dasavathaaram never wanrranted a hindi dub. It had its settings in the south. There was no point wasting time in promoting its dubbed version. I believe his work would be much more appreciated if Kamal comes up with a true blue hindi movie rather than a bi lingual. In that regard VR should have never been made in Tamil. I know that a huge amount of money was invested on the film. But people are making better films at a lesser cost and not a very star studded cast. Why not Kamal ? Heck he doesn't even need to act. Just do the writing. That would suffice.

Kamal has always been a sheep in sheep's clothing. These were the exact words of my father when I asked him to describe Kamal for me.

I'm not fully sure that is the case. While its great to be top 3 in US/UK BO, Kamal is quite well known to the hindi audience. His old movies like ek-duje-ke-liyae, sadma, indian/hindustani, chachi-420 etc. put him firmly on people's minds as a class actor/entertainer. A lot of NI/Hindi folks thoroughly enjoyed Viswaroop with great reviews/reports coming in from as far as punjab, westbengal etc. Looks like the problem lies around distribution and theater procurement logistics, advertisement, marketing and so forth. I wanted to watch viswaroop myself but couldnt. It was not screened any place nearby where I live.

If Endiran featuring a south indian superstar can beat the crap out of top hindi film stars, Viswaroop could have also done it. Kamal himself mentioned in one of his interviews recently - I now realize that marketing is the most important thing in seeing success of a movie.

It just came a little late.

Kamal really needs someone to do the marketing and distribution for his movies at least in UK. The Hindi version of VR was never realeased in UK. The movie got a lot of publicity in the North Indian media. That was a real loss for the movie's box office performance in UK at least. With the INR touching 100 to a £1 at the moment, a properly marketed film would wonders at the BO provided it has the right ingredients. VR was such a film.

I don't think he is releasing the movie in hindi for his recognition..he is already a well recognized actor all over the world....but it is the movie which he wants to do the talking all over the world....why not think of releasing the movie in foreign languages....even if the movie is released in hindi...all the hindi speaking audience want to see only tamil version in theatres...this is my feeling and my opinion based on the tamil movies which were dubbed to hindi and released in theatres....I used to watch many hindi audience i.e. the elite audience coming to watch tamil version....

guess the hindi version could be targeted at the non-elite audience...

this doesn't describe it well. IMO he is a LION in a SHEEP's clothing.

in reply to irir..

the movie faced unfortunate ban affecting his personal life. but he kept his cool which nobody under sky could have done at that burning point. hats off to him.

i cant agree to ur words "ellaarkittayum poi - 'bahuth nandri hai' - solla vendiya nilama"..seeing the unjustified action of tn govt, they all by themselves came to support him. he didnt go to anyone. pl understand it before attributing erroneous interpretation. i strongly object to this "ellaar kaallayum vizhaadha kuraiyaa vizhundhu" pl take it back. +1 for "except his naivete when it comes to dealing with people" and "ellaathaiyum naaney seivaennu othha kaalla nikkaradhu - not very practical IMO"

"Heck he doesn't even need to act" Arvind anne..ennachu! we are blessed to have such natural actor. thats his identity. i cant stand the day when he stops acting. dont think u meant that.

Nothing against Hindi. It is good to get released in Hindi and make good money (so that Kamal can make more and more movies).
But if he decides to do it, do it with well supported marketing. We should not expect a great run in Hindi with no promos in TV and other marketing strategies.
Robot, ABCD etc collected much more than Viswa.

----> Ask 100 Kamal fans who are not big internet users. 99 will not know how great Kamal is as a screen play writer.
===> We need Kamal the actor :)

--> true Pushpak

Sometimes when he has a great story he can write the screenplay, need not be always. He should consider other screenwriters as well, If he is not satisfied with the screenplay of the others, he can discuss with them and ask for corrections.
Yes, We need Kamal the actor to try out something which is not explored... But for the future, he will be seriously considering himself as a Director.

UV.....Kamal needn't have shown the movie to the hindi actors....he needn't have gone the extra step and garnered some support from hindi actors which will never work out in TN....you very well know that some in TN film industry were against VR......

The Visual effects guy Madhu keep saying that the VFX will be excellent, blah blah blah.... expectation-ai thoondi vidraaru...

the poster conveys a lot of thing....need to interpret in the correct sense...

Its not a orginal one, it should be a fan made. If its original, then it has a huge problem : Clue : Music

Its just a rehash of serveral shots of the VR1 including the pegions.
The idea is to show how Omar uses religion (symbolically shown as a Islamic architecture building) to attack (again this building looks like a remote driven Robot, remote being Omar) US of A.
