I agree with ur views. Or other Kamal thread can be renamed..

I think, other kamal thread title seems to be not attractive; better change the title;
else, this thread can be used for our Kamal news/discussions.

Kamal, Vijay and Dhanush in Russia

Tamil films Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu, Thuppakki, and Aadukalam starring Kamal, Vijay and Dhanush respectively will be screened as part of the centenary fete of Indian cinema in Russia in December. The celebrations will be organised by Indo-Russian Cultural and Friendship Society (IRCFS).

"We are celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema in Russia in collaboration with the Russian government in December. Three Tamil films 'Thuppakki', 'Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu' and 'Aadukalam' will be screened at the event," said P. Thangappan, secretary general, IRCFS.

"These films will be screened along with several other Indian films. We are yet to zero in on the final list of films to be screened at the fest," he added.

All the three films achieved critical and commercial success. Vijay-starrer action-drama 'Thuppakki' is currently being remade in Hindi with Akshay Kumar as 'Holiday'. Kamal Haasan's crime-thriller 'Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu' was one of the best cop stories of Tamil cinema, while Dhanush-starrer 'Aadukalam' won six National Awards.

Asked if the actors of the films will attend the event, Thangappan said, "We haven't personally invited them yet. It's too early to even talk about it because there is still a long way to go".

"I haven't got a degree. So, I've never stopped learning. When you get a degree, and wear that square hat with tassels on it, you think you've done it and you lean back. There is a certain amount of complacency that comes with achievement. What you perceive is achievement. When you don't, when you are insecure all the time, that's when you constantly forage for knowledge in the extra-mural dump," Kamal Hassan, Receiver of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 15th Mumbai Film Festival.
