Khan Saheb Kamal Haasan's Jamaat/Jeba Koottam/Devasthaanam - Part 8

[pushpak]

Kamal has to put some effort to blend in as a commoner/uneducated/middle class compared to Mohan Lal for whom its a piece of cake ... When Mohan Lal walks with his 'Mundu' on the street, it will be hard to distinguish him from a commoner. You're very right, UN's English will give it away! Of course, the ultimate product will be pretty good and UN will make it happen, no doubt.

If you have seen ML's Kreedom and compare it with Ajith's remake, you'll see what I mean. Not to say the remake was not good but the original Kreedom was so natural/realistic and Ajith's remake was more cinematic.

It should take lot of guts to compare MohanLal and Ajith
(no offence to anyone)
Some of Lal's expressions cannot be done by anybody ! People who watch Malayalam movies will agree.
But Lal has limitations compared to Kamal.
Yes; MohanLal is "seen" as a common man. Many of his heroic characters also are based on common man background.
What I meant is Kamal, if he tries, can look natural as a common man; but I do not think he will try.
And for me, as I have watched the Malayalam version, anything less than it will be a disappointment (and also a hit on my ego/worship on Kamal)
