Dasa , VV, VR 1 etc. Option 4 ) masala with no wow element where there is nothing great for Kamal as a performer or screenplay wright ...... classic eg ... Manmadhan Ambu.
I feel option 1 is ideal .... option 2 he can do once in 3 or 4 films to satisfy himself and every 2nd movie has to be option 3 for him to continue as a superstar. Option 4 is a waste of time of the 60 year old legend who has few years left and of his fans.
Kamals himself said : Vettri petra Guna thaan Thevar Makan. Vettri peratha Thevar Makan thaan Guna. Extremely difficult to differentiate between these 2 at the start of the movie and while deciding the budget etc.
Between 3 and 4 - Again not easy to measure the commercial success - but the 4th category will be a safer bet. Because 4 will be (I assume) can be by directors like Murugadoss or Shankar where Nammavar's involvement would be less or nul. But 3 will still have some elements of risk.
I think that to keep getting funds for 1 and 2, he should do 4 also - But in a short time. He has told in 1991 "acting and dubbing kku mattum ithu vareykum 40 naleykku mele dates ponathu kidayathu"

I did not like Panchathanthiram and Kathala Kathala.. But without such movies and the stardom, will he get distributors?
Just imagine Virumandi with a no-star-value actor? The movie would have been equally good (probably more convincing) but will he get proper buyers?

YA and I releasing during pongal is still a question mark like uthama villain..YA still shooting not completed,for I release date is always a mystery becoz of AASCAR..AASCAR is known for releasing high budget movies solely which cant be done on festival days..
Also he always release the press news that movie will be released on this date and will check whether other star studded movies are backing out or not released because of other issues..if others are not backing out and planned to release as per plan then AASCAR will back-out..He normally does this for big budget movies..

Good observation about Aascar.
Unfortunately Kamal had gone to him for VR-II.

AASCAR is a pure pure cunning businessman and he will do anything for business but good thing is he likes kamalhaasan and helps unorthodox/different talented directors/actors which is unusual for pure money minded businessman like him..
Everyone knows he promotes his movie aggrerssively but unknown thing he will promote other production movies also agressively through posters,theaters illegally..He controls NSC area and all theatre owners will listen to his words..he is like dada among NSC theatre owners..
Do anyone remember who distributed VV? Its AASCAR
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...ilaiyaadu.html
It is the first tamil movie to release in many theatres in chennai but its not only in chennai its in entire NSC area,he also extended his power towards hosur,bangalore as well..In hosur 1st time the tamil movie released in 2 theaters and bangalore in more theaters..
Do you know how Chithiram pesuthadi became success? Initially it had bad run in theaters then AASCAR acquired the film rights and marketed only the vaala meenu song agressively and the movie became a super hit..To promote vaala meenu song i read somewhere he asked some theater owners in NSC area to play the song during intervals..Organized a group and asked Gana Ulaganathan to roam around places singing the song and ultimately paid some money to music channels to telecast the song frequently..
http://www.sify.com/movies/oscar-to-...fvq1acjaf.html
Kamal missed distributor like him for Anbe sivam and instead he himself took the responsibility of distributing Anbe Sivam..Why he distributed some of his movies by that time is another story..
Everyone knows 10A is the first film to cross 200C in TN & he announced it just recently & not before..10A is the first movie that had 50 shows in mayajaal and as many number of shows in sathyam..he is trendsetter in distribution..
Dont be surprised if 'I' has 125-130 shows/day in mayajaal if its a regular 21/2 hr movie..16 screens * 8 shows(20hrs/screen) =128 shows..
Vishwaroopam is 2 hr movie so it can have 9 shows/screen which will lead to 16*9=144 shows...ha ha..

It is known to many that Aascar distributed Vettaiyadu in NSC, Got good money and produced Dasa...
Again He distributed VR, got good money and producing VR-2.
