:clap:
Just watched PUSHPAK after a long time!
what a film! and what a nuanced performance by Kamal - his body language and nonchalant acting makes this a performance on par with any one can see in international cinema!
When Sridevi spat on Rajinikanth!
He might have missed the trailer launch of Ninaithale Inikkum, but Rajinikanth made up for it by turning up for the trailer launch of the 1977 film 16 Vayathinile, in which he shared screen space with Kamal Haasan.
The Superstar went on a nostalgic trip when talking at the event. "During the shoot, no one would talk to me, as I was a relative newcomer. It was Kamal, to whom the production people went, to have a chat," he said. Praising the film's producer Rajkannu, he said, "When Rajkannu met me about re-releasing 16 Vayathinile a few months back, he told me that we should give away the collections to Kamal, who was at that time having difficulties in releasing Vishwaroopam. It is difficult to find such persons in our film industry."
Kamal, meanwhile, spoke on how the film had to overcome a number of odds to get released. "The majority of comments that we got when making the film was that it would flop. In fact, when I was driving from the studio, a person riding a bike came up to me and said that the film will tank," he said. On the difficulties the crew faced during production, he said, "When we shot the scene of Mayilu running in slow motion, we did not have the budget to afford a camera that could shoot slow motion scenes. So, Sridevi literally ran in slow motion."
Talking about his relationship with Rajinikanth, Kamal said that it was remarkable that their friendship has withstood the test of time despite several people trying to drive a wedge between the two. Director Bharathirajaa revealed that Rajini told Sridevi to spit on him for real in the scene in which Mayilu spits on the face of Parattai. "It was taking several takes to shoot the scene and finally, Rajini went to Sridevi and told her to go ahead and spit for real. Such was his dedication," he remarked.

Kamal Haasan plans yet another new makeover
Bald with French beard ..... Looks like it is happening and shot in karnataka ?
Even as Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam 2 is being readied at a fast clip, the ace actor is putting all plans in place for his next film, to be directed by Ramesh Aravind. This would be a comedy entertainer to be produced by Lingusamy's Thirrupathi Brothers and Kamal is apparently looking at a new makeover for this film.
He is likely to go bald for this film while also sporting a stylish French beard. But the final word on his makeover for this film is reserved until the time the star decides to reveal the first look of the film. Kamal also updated at a recent event in Bangalore that this film would be a bilingual which would be shot in Karnataka, the director's home state. They plan to reach out to the entire South through their bilingual.
There are reports doing the rounds that Sarath Kumar is also a part of this film, tentatively titled Uthama Villain. An official announcement regarding the title, cast, crew and other plans for the film can be expected only after Kamal is ready with Vishwaroopam 2.

கமல் வில்லனாக நடிக்கும் உத்தம வில்லன்! - ரமேஷ் அரவிந்த் இயக்குகிறார்
விஸ்வரூபம் 2 படத்துக்குப் பிறகு கமல் நடிக்கும் படத்துக்கு உத்தம வில்லன் என்று தலைப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்தப் படத்தில் கமல் வில்லனாக நடிக்கிறார். லிங்குசாமி தயாரிக்கும் இந்தப் படத்தில் கமல் வில்லனாக நடித்தாலும், நல்ல வில்லனாகத்தான் வருகிறாராம். ஆரம்பத்தில் இந்தப் படத்தை கமலே இயக்குவதாக இருந்தது. ஆனால் பின்னர் அந்த வாய்ப்பை தன் நண்பரான ரமேஷ் அர்விந்துக்கு தந்துவிட்டார். இதை கமல் அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக அறிவித்தும்விட்டார்.
கமல் படத்தை இயக்குவது குறித்து ரமேஷ் அரவிந்த் கூறுகையில், "கமல் நடிக்கும் படத்தை இயக்குவது மகிழ்ச்சியாகவும் பயமாகவும் இருக்கிறது. ஏற்கனவே கமலை வைத்து கன்னடத்தில் ‘சதிலீலாவதி' படத்தை ரீமேக் செய்து இயக்கினேன். தற்போது லிங்குசாமி தயாரிப்பில் கமலை வைத்து இயக்குகிறேன். மெகா பட்ஜெட் படமாக தயாராகிறது. இப்படத்துக்கு ‘உத்தம வில்லன்' என பெயர் வைத்துள்ளோம். படப்பிடிப்பு விரைவில் துவங்க உள்ளது. நானும் கமலும் பலதடவை சந்தித்து பேசி இதன் கதையை தயார் செய்துள்ளோம். காமெடி, பொழுதுபோக்கு அம்சங்கள், ஆக்ஷன் அனைத்தும் படத்தில் இருக்கும். கமல் இதுவரை நடிக்காத பாத்திரம் என எதுவும் இல்லை. ஆனால் இதில் அவர் நடிப்பது ரசிகர்களை ரொம்ப கவரும் வேடமாக இருக்கும்," என்றார்.
Buddies come together

It was an event Kamal Hassan’s fans were waiting for. The press conference was even postponed once, heightening the suspense but Kamal Hassan and his best buddy Ramesh Aravind did not fail their fans.
The duo recently announced that Kamal Hassan would be acting in a bilingual — Kannada and Tamil — directed by Ramesh Aravind to the delight of everyone at the event. Ramesh says that the two of them have been planning something on these lines for a long time.
Ramesh and Kamal were discovered by the same person and the two of them began their career around the same time.
Now, 20 years after their stint in the film industry, the two share a close bond, one that has been unshaken by the passage of time and change of circumstances.
Their on-screen combination worked well and their first film together in Tamil, Sathi Leelavathi was a big hit. They came together again in Panchathantiram and thereafter worked on several projects, including their Kannada film Rama Shama Bhama.
Their latest bilingual venture tentatively titled Uthama Villain, meaning good villain, is in the scripting stage and will be a family entertainer with loads of action sequences thrown in to keep the audience at the edge of their seats. A large portion of the film will be shot in Bangalore and it is touted to be a big budget project.
Kamal spent some quality time with Ramesh during his recent visit. He had lunch at Ramesh’s place considering that even the families are close.
“We have never taken our friendship for granted. There’s mutual respect for each other’s point of view and we’ve reached a stage where we don’t really feel bad or get irritated with the other’s observation or comment about something. That’s the level of understanding and comfort we share,” says Ramesh.
Ramesh doesn’t hesitate to add, “We have always had an open communication and that’s why I feel the two of us share a similar taste when it comes to a lot of things like books, music and movies.”
Even after all these years, Ramesh feels that Kamal has remained the same. “I
admire Kamal’s total commitment to cinema and he always goes an extra mile to give all his projects his best shot. I’ve watched all his movies and there’s a constant exchange of ideas between us, be it on our individual projects or otherwise,” notes Ramesh.
For the moment, Ramesh wishes to concentrate on his project with Kamal and states that he may not sign any project unless it is an exceptional one. His historical film, Basavanna is ready for release. “I’ve always wanted to play a historical character. With this project, that has been fulfilled,” he concludes.

Kamal Haasan will be honoured with the lifetime achievement award at the 15th Mumbai Film Festival that is to be held in Mumbai next month. The Mumbai Academy of Moving Images (MAMI) festival will present this award to the filmmaker-actor for his immense contribution to cinematic excellence.
Shyam Benegal said, “He is a legend in every sense of the term. He is a writer, singer, director, lyricist and an actor par-excellence. We are extremely honored to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Kamal Haasan.”
Srinivasan Narayanan said, “My generation grew up watching Kamal Haasan’s films. His growth as an actor from K. Balachander’s Arangetram and Apoorva Raagangal to his award winning performances in Mani Ratnam’s Nayagan and Indian and the variety he brought in – from serious films to comedies to action films is phenomenal. He is straddling across all departments of filmmaking like a colossus.”
The 15th Mumbai Film Festival will take place from the 17th – 24, October 2013.
'குறைந்த வயதுள்ள எனக்கு இந்த விருது ஏன்...?' - சர்வதேச விருதை ஏற்க கமல் தயக்கம்
வயதான கலைஞர்களுக்கு தரும் விருது குறைந்த வயதுடைய எனக்கு எதற்கு என்று கூறி, ஒரு சர்வதேச விருதை திருப்பித் தரப் போகிறாராம் நடிகர் கமல்ஹாஸன். அது மும்பையில் நடக்கும் சர்வதேச திரைப்பட விழாவில் வழங்கப்பட உள்ள வாழ்நாள் சாதனையாளர் விருது. பொதுவாக இந்த விருது வயதான மூத்த நடிகர்களுக்குத்தான் இதுவரை வழங்கப்பட்டு வந்ததாம். இந்த முறை கமல் ஹாஸன் இந்திய சினிமாவுக்கு செய்த சாதனைகளுக்காக இந்த விருதினை அவருக்குத் தர முடிவு செய்து, அறிவித்துள்ளனர் விழாக் குழுவினர்.
இந்த விருதை ஏற்கலாமா வேண்டாமா என யோசனையில் உள்ளார் கமல். இது குறித்து கமல் கூறுகையில், "இந்த விருதை பெற எனக்கு தகுதி இருக்கிறதா இல்லையா என்று தெரியவில்லை. ஆனாலும் விருதுக்கு என்னை பரிந்துரை செய்ததற்காக மகிழ்ச்சி அடைகிறேன். இது எனக்கு உற்சாகத்தை ஏற்படுத்தும். இன்னும் உழைக்க வேண்டும் என்ற எண்ணத்தைத் தூண்டி விடுவதாகவும் இருக்கும். அதே நேரம் வயதான நடிகர்களுக்கு கொடுக்கும் இந்த விருதை வயது குறைந்த இந்தக் கமலஹாசனுக்கு கொடுக்கலாமா என்று பேசுபவர்களுக்கு நான் ஒரு விஷயத்தை சொல்லிக் கொள்ள விரும்புகிறேன். நீங்கள் கொஞ்சம் பொறுத்திருங்கள்.... இந்த விருதை வேண்டாம் என்று மறுக்கவும் வேறு வயதான நடிகர்களுக்கு கொடுங்கள் என்று சிபாரிசு செய்யவும் நான் யோசித்துக் கொண்டுதான் இருக்கிறேன். சினிமாவில் உதவி நடன இயக்குனராக பணியாற்றியதில் இருந்து நிறைய கற்றுக் கொண்டு வருகிறேன். அந்த வகையில் இப்போதும் நான் மாணவன்தான். விரைவில் புதிய இந்திப் படங்களில் நடிக்கத் திட்டமிட்டுள்ளேன்," என்றார்.
