KAMALHAASAN in ||"Thoongavanam"|| Rajesh M Selva || Ghibran

[irir123]

But people call KH as narcissistic..stupid..More than any artist KH is the one who involves literature,culture and related people more into the cinema..Balakumaran, Sujatha ,Gnasammantham ,Suka ,E.R murugan ,etc..
In Vishwaroopam he used kathak dance,bought Birju Maharaj to limelight down south and he won national award as well..
For UV he used old forgotten theyyam dance,Attakalari group from banaglore and the famous villu paatu expert subbu arumugam again..From 2000's he is using many people from "Koothu-P-Pattarai" like pasupathy,etc

As he said cinema is truly a democratic art but not many taking it like that apart from few like KH..

In general, ppl look askance at anything/anyone who is intense or passionate about whatever he/she does - if passion combines with talent and commitment, then ppl get scared of it - especially amongst the Indian middle-class which has grown to a staple diet of doing the same thing over and over again for quite a few decades!

Thats why perhaps Kamal is given that treatment
