Don't say so ! There r ppl who r HC fans of both Kamal & ARR, like me...and many ARR fans do like Kamal too(Kamal need not be their fav actor), unlike u !

yes vasanth, that's true.....my sis itself is a HC fan of kamal but prefers ARR in music and she is very happy abt dasavatharam.....as u know, i hate kamal for religious reasons.....but i think kamal, once had openly stated somewhere that IR is better than ARR or ARR is not gud....i dunt have the exact link,but i do remember him saying that......moreover,i dunt know how ARR will react if there is any anti-god stuff in the movie

Music is music. People question why IR scored songs like nethu raathiri amma if he is such a religous person. If there is an anti-god subject and IR/ARR agreed to do the music, it just shows their professionalism, just like the way you like Kamal, still has difference of opinion about God.

At some part of time in everybody's ilfe,everyone go thru the question of "does god exists" - some of us will get a clear Yes, and someof us will get a clear No and some of us will not be clear at all. Kamal got a clear No and IR and ARR got clear Yes and so they choosed different path.

I havent seen any movie where Kamal promote "no god" issue, since he knows very well that its his opinion and not his fans.

Also what Kamal said after Indian is that "people are gossiping about issues between me and arr. for all of them all I can say is that the movie is progerssing very well and the music will he a big hit once released", KH also mentioned many times that he is IR fan and he dont need to go to any other Md for his movie, but when he act for others (he specifically mentioned about KSR who mentioned that KH like IR but not everyone like IR), he will not interfere.

I will try to post some pic of KH-ARR durign Dasavatharam, where they both seems to be happily arguing something!

Kamal as everyone knows is atheist , since his very early days...I've seen him voicing his opinions from his earliest movies like KB's "Nizhal Nijamagirathu", but yet hasn't he acted as theist that too in characters seem too close to GOD, for ex:- "SippikkuL muthu", "Sigappu kal mookkuthi"....
Isn't that all about professionalism

, I don't think ARR would hesitate either, if he were asked to compose in such scenarios like u mentioned(Anti-GOD)

guys, my hands are really tied down by the restriction of posting abt religions in this forum.....otherwise i can quote umpteen instances where kamal has tried to discriminate a particular caste/religion which happens to be mine.......though bharathiraja and SJSuryah have done it they have not pursued with it......kamal has persisted on it......

The only caste/religion where people could freely make fun of is brahmins, for they think brahmins are quiter/soft/useless people. the only guy who elevate brahmins is Shankar, cuz he himeself is a brahmin.

If you discriminate any other caste/religion, there will be a state wide strike and un-necessary burning of bus etc.

Maddy !
I know wat u mean

Kamal is a brahmin by birth as well ! Isn't it?

It is a well known fact that kamal doesn't force directors or producers to book IR. But, for his home production,by default ,IR is the MD.Those who follow TFM would know this

If ARR is offered a kamal movie, he would definitely do it.People in the indian film industry knows the class and calibre of kamal more than we do.No technician for that matter would deny a chance to work with kamal.

I have seen ARR fans keeping ARR above kamal while discussing about their combo.May be they are upset that ARR doesn't get many kamal movies

. World knows who is the best.

Regarding shankar-kamal, shankar in a recent chat after anniyan (with sify) had said that kamal IS his favourite actor in TFM.so, don't worry.they will work together in future.

I don't think kamal forces his thoughts about religion in his movies.This is ceratinly a biased opinion.There are bad examples like sathyaraj,shankar-sujatha combo etc...

there are 3 things here rooky:
1.I,as a ARR-fan feels so happy that our boss hasnt worked with kamal frequently.......ARR doesent need kamal to compose kadhalan and alaipauthey.........
2. in TN kamal is bigger than ARR, but just look outside, ARR is 10 times as popular as kamal.......
3. y do u call shankar-sujatha combo bad...i dunt get it....
