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

[Movie Cop]

ada oru pechu-kku sonnenga... Vijayakumar illaina Sivakumar... Sivakumar illaina vera edhO oru kumar-u.... Manmadha Leelai ellam Kamal resume-le podura allavukku onniyum illai-nga... My point is, in most of his 70's films, KB onniyum Kamal-uhh avlO perusa use pannale-nu thonuchu... But Kamal picked a lot of things of things from KB (in filmmaking aspects-ngradhu vera vishayam) which helped him in the longer run.

[app_engine]

Only when KB started directing Kamal as a solo hero he "tried" to leverage Haasar's histrionic skills.

KB directed KH as solo hero (manmadha leelai / apoorva rAgangaL) BEFORE the arrival of Rajini

He even gave him a couple of "villainic" roles prior (sollaththAn ninaikkiREn, arangERRam)...

The 'chocolate-lover-boy' thingy was not necessarily a KB-thingy, though he did that in moonRu mudichchu / marO charithrA.

Well, it was another director who unlocked the real potential of KH in 1977...but inga avar untouchable

Hey Movie_Cob, you're saying he was given more subtle parts, which you should be grateful for.

Even Aval Appadithaan, kinda like Heat, Rajini does a Pacino, Kamal does a De niro, absorbs everything without fuss, and such subtle gestures.

Is there any particular reason you hate Vijayakumar so much because he humbly admitted once that he does not rely on make-up for great performances(directly hitting KH).

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

make up for great performance? what kind of statement is this?

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

'unnal mudiyum thambi' shooting samayathula Kamal got nice thittus from KB - for not giving his sincere commitment in some scenes - this newsitem was featured in the Kumudam 'lightson' section around that time !!

What happened is kamal was joking and making a bing gang of crew laugh, during the gaps. KB was saying to assistants "Innum veLaattu payyanaave irukkaane" No thittu and all. Or you are saying some serious stuff?

For old man get up he did not use make up but kamal used make up for Indian. To answer your question . kelvi kekkurathu sulabam bathil solRathuthAn kashtam. Avar sonnatha nAn sonnEn, avvalavuthAn.

Yes, except he did that for Walter VetrivEl.
