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

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

I think 16 vayathinile chappani character can be easily handled by vijayakumar and that too without any significant make up. I think even vijayakumar will agree with what i said.

He's being sarcastic. Tamizh, neenga neengalavE irunga.

As for cigarette flipping, zanny dialogues and other stuff, idhellam terribly contrived in KB universe. I thank heavens that KH didn't get those.

Even in AA, the scene where Rajini is mobile and tries every other way to get attention from lighting his cigarette to various other poses, KH's relaxed demeanour seated through out is more up my alley. Look at his eyes and facial gestures there. For similar reasons, I prefer De Niro to Pacino in Heat.

I liked both Rajini and Kamal equally on that movie but surprise was sripriya. She did a great job because that was the most complex character ever written for female in the Tamil Cinema and she did more than adequate job.

I will try to be but SKV must be very innocent guy and I like him for being that.

kamal was not born as a fantastic actor... sethukki sethukki thaan ippadi aanaar... andha sethukkalla KB'kku periya pangundu
primary school educationa udhaasina paduththi university varai sella iyalaadhu...

the real kamal we adore only came about in the mid 80s onwards

[kumarsr]

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?

Once it was reported that Kamal (in anger) packed up and left mid day due to some issues with KB on the sets of UMT. I believe they had a minor tiff. But, the respect and reverence he has for KB now is remarkable. It is not a put on and is very sincere.

KB's movies generally do not have prominence for great histrionics on the lines of nayagan or 16 v. His stories were mostly middle class based. So no point complaining. Important to consider is that he has made over 35+ movies with Kamal.

They have been friendly throughout. People used to say that Amitabh tried to stop Kamal in Hindi but that may just be unproven gossip. It was reported last year that Kamal attended Amitabh's rendering of some of his father's poems in UK or Paris. Earlier Kamal tried to rope in Amitabh for a role in one of his films (since dropped) to be directed by the great KSR.

Watched a few mins of sattam
This is an example of 'regular' roles where Kamal's acting is quite ordinary.
Rajini would've done better 'ngREn

It's the 'separate the boys from the men' type 'demanding' roles that Kamal towers over everyone else.
