Grateful to Mohanlal for Recommending Me in 'Papanasam', Says Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan starrer "Papanasam", which was released last Friday, got an overwhelming response, with the actor's role as a common man in the remake version of hit Malayalam movie "Drishyam" receiving a lot of appreciation.

His portrayal of a local cable operator and an attempt to speak Tamil with Thirunalveli accent have been praised by many viewers.

Basking in the success of the movie, actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan has said he is grateful to Malayalam superstar Mohanlal for recommending him to play the lead in "Papansam".

"I heard it from somebody that Mohanlal wished to see me star in the remake of 'Drishyam'. He felt I'd do justice to the film and recommended by name. I'm thankful to him for that because rarely do stars like me get to work in such lovely films," Haasan told IANS.

"Papanasam" has been directed by by Jeethu Joseph , who had also directed the original Malayalam version.

The performances of other actors including Gautami, Asha Sarath, Niveda Thomas, Kalabhavan Mani, Esther Anil, Ananth Mahadevan, MS Bhaksra, Roshan Basheer, Delhi Ganesh, Ilavarasau, Arul Dass and Sree Ram has also been lauded.

Meanwhile, the Hindi version of "Drishyam" starring Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran is set for its release on 31 July.

It is very simple..

Producers want to cast super star... But Jeethu had KH in mind..

Sripriya approached Kamal for acting in the movie. KH watched the movie and suggested some changes..

Georgu kutty's change to Suyambulingam was suggested by KH.. also suggested to change the climax bit emotional.

Recommended Jeyamohan as dialogue writer and Suka for properly pronouncing the Nellai Dialect...

Simple movie, Super script, 35 days of shooting... Superb output... KH would have got the message of the TN cinema watching crowd...

Superb! Reading all this, one gets much more assured that its ONLY Kamal who is deservingly fit to remake Papanasam! Not just becos of the fine layers he added to the tamil version, but also that its only he as an actor who has his films stories well knit and connected throughout. Any small thing shown in initial parts of his films will never go waste. they will form the reason of some events happening in the later part of the film.

Not only that, its KH who always campaigns for less no of songs. and even if more songs, he will make sure they are part of narrative and not just songs for commercial heck. Even in UV, each and every song had a reason and was part of the narration. Likewise, original Drishyam itself had songs well blent to the movie and didnt stand out!

If Papanasam was a Gold Script by Jeethu, which is very rare status to attain, Kamal added layers and made it Platinum!!

Sakala, I'd guess the credit should go primarily to Jeethu and JeMo. Knowing Kamal, we can be sure his contribution must have been there too.

Papanasam again!
Why?
Because it's soooooooooo good!

Checked several cinemas here in Malaysia ...most are packed, and that's why had to go to different cinema than my normal one.

Super packed and for the second time after Dasavatharam) audience clapped at the end!

Shocking since its already 10 days.
Guess it's going to break all previous box office records!

Sometimes I feel that if Kamal's involvement is restricted to acting with a few tips on the story line and other places, it would be enough to result in a good outcome (box office wise). I understand that box office result is not everything. But this is perhaps the central message of Papanasam's success. Basically, just find a great story (that is suitable for Kamal) and a confident director to helm it (preferably someone who can "own" the story) and the rest will take care of itself.
