KamalHaasar's Master Piece MarmaYogi

I think the last time this happened was with mahAnadhi. I'm positive that almost no one had even a faint idea of the sort of film it was going to be!!
Kamal once said that he wrote mahAnadhi in a closed room with all windows shut. I'd seriously suggest to him to do the same again...

From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Sat Dec 15 7:25:25 2007.

even for me, mahanadhi was such a film. no cleu as there was no forumhub\websites at that time[or i didnt visit anything]

but nowadays, its becoming typecast sometimes, and for VV, the stills led to huge expectation and i didnt like it much at 1st half.

but again see, those public who made it a hit shud have boon those "unknown before seeing" category..

going with a fresh\empty mind and see if really the film maker absorbs u into the film or not is the question i have. and thats how movie watching shid be. not like now where we see stills, total cast, interviews, songs, trailor ect.
From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Sat Dec 15 7:26:41 2007.

but again, for films like mahanadhi, its tough to get into the thinking of krishnaswamy's viewpoint, and it needs time. and by that time, the movie runs out...
From: Kumar on Sun Dec 16 0:36:24 2007.

I suppose a last minute revelation of the movie content, it's actors etc would be ideal. But there is also the business aspect of the movie to deal with. Producers/marketers need at least one "carrot and stick" to get the public's attention, even if it means creating movie stills/posters way before production starts.

When he says it will be the biggest movie ever, shut-window policy goes out of the.... window. Instead why can't he make a small movie. In house film which is brilliantly written and directed by him.
Instead he is once again going for the pan-Indian market, with an epic subject, grand canvas etc.

his market after Dasa is going to zoom.. he is doing the correct thing by utilising that.. by doing a smal budget movie,he will only pull down his market..

From: Kumar on Mon Dec 17 6:53:32 2007.

This seems to be the season of big commercial movies across India. Like Devar M said, this is about widening his market.

It doesn't mean I disagree with you- I would love to see a small-budgeted film with a good storyline, good catse, good script. But there is alwasy the risk of the larger cinema audience going "Huh? What's this? Where's the group song? Where are the Matrix inspired fight scenes?" etc. What he needs to do with a smaller movie is to market it abroad, through film festivals, etc. The last Brisbane Film Festival had small and good movies from India, Malaysia and others that made the audience sit up and take notice.

From: thilak4life on Mon Dec 17 7:07:37 2007.

I'm also for small-budget films, but he will make 'em later. But let him give truly big budget films before it gets too late. I personally think he should do "Marmayogi", and "Marudhanayagam" as they are centered around Kamal's performance.

Hema Malini is all set to go to get in touch with her southern roots with Kamal Hassan's next Tamil film, Marmayogi. Hema will be doing a film in the south after a very long time. Marmayogi will go on the floors after Kamal releases his much talked about film, Dasavatharam in which he plays 10 different roles. Marmayogi is being produced by Adlabs and Kamal is the film's co-producer and director.

Our source said, "Kamal had this script for a long time and wanted to make it after releasing Abhay. However, he went on to make Mumbai Express. After that he got busy with his ambitious project Dasavatharam, which has taken all his time. He has also written Marmayogi's script and has finally decided to make the film after Dasavatharam's release. Hema Malini, who also played a small part in Kamal's film Hey Ram, will be paired opposite him. It is a children's film and the story revolves around how Kamal takes a group of people on a journey."

Although Adlabs COO Mahesh Ramnathan refused to comment on the development, Nikhil Murugan, Kamal Hassan's official spokesperson confirmed and said, "Yes. We have signed Hema Malini for Marmayogi but apart from that, we can't give any more details as nothing has been finalised yet."

Incidentally, Hema Malini will be shooting for Marmayogi in her hometown, Trichy in Tamil Nadu.

"Very few films have been made for kids. There are movies with kids but not movies made for them. Even the ones made for them, have been laced with sex and violence. `Virumaandi' was made for an adult audience. So we have next decided to do something which children will like to watch," he said.

At a recent press conference, he announced that Raajkamal Films International would produce two films. "One is a movie which I will direct myself and another is a movie for children, which will be directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao. Titles, photos and details will be provided later," the once-bitten `Sandiyar' smiled.

"A child will play the lead. And we are still trying to script it in a way that I will have a substantial role too," he said. After `Pushpak,' `Apoorva Sahodargal' and `Michael Madana Kamarajan,' the actor has gone back to his trusted veteran director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao for the project which was initially titled `Krishna Leela

Sakala,

First, it was wrong to compare Kamal with others, and when the fans of *others* hit back, it ends up with a silly fight. It's not that what you say is false. But it's a well-known fact that could have been avoided. (this was what Nerd hinting at, in the other thread. Munusaamy has reacted to your tongue in cheek comments, although I think it makes a lot more sense)

Going by the past history, ROBO releasing in April2009 would be a very very optimistic estimate.Must be Happy if it makes it before the end of 2009.For MY too,they haven't even launched the movie and completing a heavy budget movie within one year would again be an optimistic estimate.

Just to add, the tamil film producers/distributors council made a new rule in 2007 that two big movies cannot release on the same day.This they announced as a measure to minimize the losses for the distributors who buy these big movies at a very high price.

So, there is no possibility of a Rajini VS Kamal or a Vijay Vs Ajith in future (atleast till this rule is in place).

if WaltDisney is ready to produce 100-200 crore rupees film of kamal - y cant he do marudhunayagam instead?? i mean if MY becomes too big - then his dream project MN might look small after that .......

also, there are certain sections - hinting that ARR might be removed from this project owing to change of producers.....kamal might press for IR with new producers......i just dont know wat to say........ARR has not mentioned Marmayogi as a part of his forthcoming projects in tamil whereas he has included robot (might be lazyness of ARR to say his complete list) - this is just heads up on a potential problem........

Absolutely, Kamal-ARR is a pair to be reckoned with. I think it's natural that people love Kamal-IR's combo, and expect more from them. And, it's also true that there are hardcore IR fans who want him to do this film no matter what. Let's just wait.

From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Sat Jan 12 8:01:59 2008.

I have seen many IR. I want to see some fresh and young talent. surely ARR. not only for marmayogi but for almost all big projects.

he is always uptodate in other stuff behind the screen, like camera, art, CG, production values, screenplay\dialogwriters, directors ect. music is one dept kamal is not always up to date..i mean, using a good MD. He had tried hands with almost all others, deva, vidyasagar, Ramesh vinayagam, Mahesh, Shankar Eson Loy, In his hindi movies like chachi 420, its still worse....

i dunno ahy some kamal fans dont understnd that ARR gives a commercial boost to his films, no matter songs are good or bad that commersial boost isnt of that level at all with IR. anyways we always had enuf with IR.

when kamal goes out of TN, to an Indian, pan global level, there is simply no choice.thats all

its hitime kamal goes to ARR and also stays there!

Enna maddy , you have elevated rakesh and ashutosh status. Its not the director but story should inspire the MD. There are many good albums by ARR without great director ex Maymadham, kadhalar dhinam etc.I think I am deviating from the discussion

Appreciate ur comments..may be you can change ur statement little bit.

From: crajkumar_be on Sun Jan 13 6:30:07 2008.

ARR was decided as the MD for Marmayogi even before the producer was decided. No contract was signed with Reliance Adlabs (pechu varthaigal dhaan nadandhadhu and Reliance wanted KH to sign a 3-film contract or something which obviously our Annan refused) and wonder why people said Reliance forced KH to pull in Rahman.

Unless something untoward happens, there is no reason why the KH-ARR combination would fall out in Marmayogi...

Kamal and Walt Disney
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, January 19, 2008]

View Kamal Gallery

Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan will now join hands with the Walt Disney Productions, who are expected to produce his forthcoming film ‘Marma Yogi’.

Walt Disney Productions, which recently tied up with Yash Raj Films for a full-length animated feature film called ‘Roadside Romeo’, wants to expand its operations across the country. So they have decided to start a venture with the versatile actor cum filmmaker.

The Kamal-Walt Disney venture will be co-produced by Bharath Bala, who produced A. R. Rahman’s patriotic music video Vande Mataram. ‘Marma Yogi’ will also bring Kamal and Rahman together after a long gap.

’Marma Yogi’ will be a period film, set in the seventh century, which will have erstwhile Bollywood heartthrob Hema Malini.

Kamal and Hema Malini had earlier teamed up in ‘Hey Ram’. Asin, the heroine of ‘Dasavadharam’, will play a key role. The film will probably be directed by Kamal Haasan.

’Marma Yogi’ is the title of one of MGR's blockbusters (1951), which happened to be the first Tamil film to receive an 'A' certificate. Kamal has earlier done a movie with the title of another MGR film (Sathi Leelavathi, MGR’s maiden venture as hero, which came in 1936).

‘Marma Yogi’ is said to be one of the costliest films ever made in India with a budget of Rs. 90 crore. Kamal will shortly go to the US to discuss the production of this film, which is slated to be shot in Thailand. The shooting might get started by February.

Marmayogi and the Fastest moving creature in the world.

Marmayogi's marmam just got more fascinating with the addition of a Falcon to its cast. This bird is the fastest moving creature in the world. The bird and its trainer have been hired for a whopping amount that is usually associated with actresses like Aishwarya rai. The Script of marmayogi also involves some scenes in which Tigers and Elephants act with the GOD of Indian cinema. Marmayogi's script has impressed its producers very much and they are ready to produce it in the most grandest style ever in Indian cinema.

so, the script involves some animal characters too..

kamal and the producers of the movie know better than echuperutsu like u..

Btw, Marmayogi is gonnabe an april 2009 release.
Sankar's sivaji(ordinary project compared to robot) took 18 months to release after its kick off.. robot shooting starts in aug 2008. so it has no chance for a release before april 2010.

It seems that Kamal wanted to shoot this movie in Digital format. but, CH/producers didnt want to take any kind of risk.. so, kamal had to change his plans and now decided to shoot the movie in film format..

I never felt the need to watch englees/foreign movies since we have ppl here to remake those movies with added masala flavours, punch dialogues, romances, family sentiments, typical tamil hero hypes, gravity defying stunt sequences, etc (Ex. what abt bob, mrs dbtfire, godfather, munnabai mbbs.....the list is long)

For a great movie Kamal alone could be enough. For the movie to be more popular the other technicians and actors popularity/work will add more popularity. Even others popularity will end up virtually as Kamal's Victory. Though i am not favor of that condition that is how things work and I dont see anything wrong in that

I agree ARR is best choice but still he is not the only person. However, ARR is 100 times better choice than any other north indian MD.

As a South Indian, I said and till now I don't know much about NI MD music/songs except some movies/songs. So my statements is not true at all.

CR,

What I meant was we had a press release from Ayngaran/Eros for Robot. Apart from the Hindu interview and the information from Kamal fans here, we have not got that sort of confirmation. In short, 'movie launch'. May be that's why ARR isn't mentioning about MY.

I hope everything gets clear soon.

From my understanding looks like it's all going to be same. Yes Kamal's next movie marmayogi will be under his Banner and you will see waltndisney and co-supported by bharatbala.

Aahaa , Kamal - ARR combo kku ivvalo discussion eh

For me, Its been a very long time that ARR and Kamal worked together on a movie. Thier last 2 films were great hits for thier entertainer screenplays and hippy music as well. Now Marmayogi being a periodic film and with Kamal himself donning the screenplay, direction and production duties I am much more eager to see how magical the output would be. Now that was not the case in thier previous outings, well atleast not on paper. I just want to see how Kamal sir and ARR work with each other and let me see the grandness on the big screen. Evvalavo combos paatachu like Kamal - IR, Maniratnam sir - ARR, Selva ragavan - Yuvan. My eagerness is to sit back and observe what Kamal and Arr are upto when they work together for this movie which is expected on larger lines .

Now i am not at all talking about Ilayaraaja sir here because i have seen thier past works and they have been nothing short of greatness
From: equanimus on Thu Jan 31 17:56:23 2008.

I concur with Ajithfederer. ARR's work in a "pure" Kamal venture is an extremely interesting thing to watch out for, damn the loyalties for legendary combos. 'Indian' was a hip album, as the case has mostly been with ARR-Shankar, but 'thenAli' was significantly below average (with the exception of 'pOrkkALam' which is a real gem) for Rahman's standards.

Raaja is God, of course, but Rahman is an emperor himself. And a bit of variety doesn't hurt, does it? Moreover, ARR's work in "serious" ventures (of Bollywood; he seems to be largely "unavailable" for Kollywood "serious" ventures) like this (period film - check, prestige banner - check, and so on) have been exceptionally superb churning out one classic after another. I'd rather see Kamal work with ARR in a serious venture like this than a KS Ravikumar film.

P.S. Yeah, yeah, I know 'dasAvathAram' is also technically a KS Ravikumar film. Well, my expectations on the film was low initially, and it has risen significantly since then, but still it doesn't excite me as much as a Raaj Kamal film would. (I think 'nAn kadavuL' might be a worthier candidate to put all the expectations on and await for.) I mean, Himesh Reshammiya, KS Ravikumar, the numerous gimmicks, the baggage therein is quite heavy!

P.P.S. I loved it when Kamal admitted how gimmicky the whole thing looks like, and added that, it's a "cleverly" woven film and the gimmick is not all that there is in the film. He also called his acting effort as just "tedious" and noted that he went through all that only in the hope that all this adds up to how he had conceived the film in his mind. So, there's still heck a lot of hope for me! I'm just underplaying it.

From: equanimus on Fri Feb 1 3:21:18 2008.

Maddy,
You surprise me! Here I was saying that ARR is an excellent choice purely in terms of my notion of quality music, my belief that he'll churn out a classic (*I* mentioned that he has always given a classic in period films, *I* mentioned that he has always delivered in prestige films), while many of the rest here (sorry for the dig, folks ) are actually talking about how "successful" the album would be if Rahman score for it (quite a backhanded compliment, that one), "voting" for him on a populist basis. (Of course, all those folks also must be believing that the album would be great. I'm not claiming that they don't, just that they put it in the "Marmayogi welfare fund" way rather than the Rahman-is-awesome way.) Frankly, I think that should irk a Rahman fan (it did irk me!), not what I said!

See, I place Raaja over Rahman just like you place Rahman over Raaja. Is it so difficult to see this? Instead, you bring in the "popularity" of Rahman among people. Of course, it's enormous! (By the way, it's funny you pick a group as narrow as Orkut.com! I took a while to realise where the figure 3.5 L comes from) Why, it's a matter of pride for me. But, is that why I'd place Rahman up there in my books? Obviously, no, and you'd definitely agree with me here. So, what more do you expect from me? Lie that I love Rahman's music more than Raaja's? Or, just not say that I place Raaja higher even if I think so? (Like Kamal says in Vasool Raja.)

And, I'm stunned that you point out that I haven't added that it's all "IMO." "In my opinion" is used just as a figure of speech. It's like saying, "I think." Even if you don't say it, it's still you who is thinking so. Likewise, even if someone doesn't explicitly say it's "in [his] opinion," it's obviously his opinion. There can never be a universal consensus on anything. And, you make me explain all this as if it's rocket science!

And, I so much love Rahman's music. I think his period film albums are all classics in every sense. You don't have to list them down for me! I love these albums to bits. Just read my whole post again, I never said Raaja's work would be better for 'Marmayogi' or any other period film! In my post, I talked only about Rahman's greatness and said that Rahman joining hands with Kamal is just too fantastic an event to miss, despite Raaja's greatness and longstanding partnership with Kamal (the only place I mentioned him).

Even the last time around, I was the one who was saying that Rahman has composed in a wide range of genres, while Raaja hasn't. Now, again, it's me who brought out how fantastic Rahman's period film albums are! And, the implication therein is obviously that Raaja doesn't have much to boast on those fronts.

On a final note, I don't think authentic or genre-based music is a must-have for period films or any such thing. So, all this still doesn't mean that I'm claiming that Rahman is indeed the better choice here. I don't have such notions at all, at least not between Raaja and Rahman.* What I do think is he'll deliver a fantastic album. I think just about the same of Raaja. Not that he'll give better music than Rahman. How can I say whose music will be better before even I listen to the actual compositions? That is all.

From: MADDY on Fri Feb 1 3:32:31 2008.

Maddy,
You surprise me! Here I was saying that ARR is an excellent choice purely in terms of my notion of quality music, my belief that he'll churn out a classic (*I* mentioned that he has always given a classic in period films, *I* mentioned that he has always delivered in prestige films), while many of the rest here (sorry for the dig, folks Smile

) are actually talking about how "successful" the album would be if Rahman score for it (quite a backhanded compliment, that one), "voting" for him on a populist basis. (Of course, all those folks also must be believing that the album would be great. I'm not claiming that they don't, just that they put it in the "Marmayogi welfare fund" way rather than the Rahman-is-awesome way.) Frankly, I think that should irk a Rahman fan (it did irk me!), not what I said!

See, I place Raaja over Rahman just like you place Rahman over Raaja. Is it so difficult to see this? Instead, you bring in the "popularity" of Rahman among people. Of course, it's enormous! (By the way, it's funny you pick a group as narrow as Orkut.com! I took a while to realise where the figure 3.5 L comes from) Why, it's a matter of pride for me. But, is that why I'd place Rahman up there in my books? Obviously, no, and you'd definitely agree with me here. So, what more do you expect from me? Lie that I love Rahman's music more than Raaja's? Or, just not say that I place Raaja higher even if I think so? (Like Kamal says in Vasool Raja.)

And, I'm stunned that you point out that I haven't added that it's all "IMO." "In my opinion" is used just as a figure of speech. It's like saying, "I think." Even if you don't say it, it's still you who is thinking so. Likewise, even if someone doesn't explicitly say it's "in [his] opinion," it's obviously his opinion. There can never be a universal consensus on anything. And, you make me explain all this as if it's rocket science!

And, I so much love Rahman's music. I think his period film albums are all classics in every sense. You don't have to list them down for me! I love these albums to bits. Just read my whole post again, I never said Raaja's work would be better for 'Marmayogi' or any other period film! In my post, I talked only about Rahman's greatness and said that Rahman joining hands with Kamal is just too fantastic an event to miss, despite Raaja's greatness and longstanding partnership with Kamal (the only place I mentioned him).

Even the last time around, I was the one who was saying that Rahman has composed in a wide range of genres, while Raaja hasn't.

1. i perfectly understood and appreciate ur effort in telling ppl. abt ARR's quality and not just his commercial reach......btw, i dont really mind ARR being called commercial - cos he can sell ART too - now not many can do it....

2. i never brought orkut numbers to glorify ARR - i just said they wont neccessarily agree to ur Raaja is god, ARR is emperor comparison.......

3. i call apple a apple and orange a orange, at any circumstance..........well, roshan for one instance is another person who felt ur comment was generalised.....sometimes, there are things that need to be made clear which are as basic as breathing but as paramount as rocket science.....

If only you did the same with me, Maddy. Understand, no?

And, for all the benignity you bestow upon aNNan Bala (in the sincerest of hopes that aNNaththE would take this dig lightly!), he was still primarily talking about how he's the only MD who has tasted success as far as bilinguals are concerned, how Rahman's contribution is of "paramount importance" for Marmayogi, etc. Speaking more as a Kamal fan than a Rahman fan. While I just said, ARR totally rocks!

In fact, *I* misunderstood his post that time around. He meant (Equanimus, correct me if im wrong) while Raaja takes a genre and makes it his own, Rahman goes wide and plays to the genre (to which you also cited some genre busting examples from Rahman IIRC). I don't think he went on further to say either of those traits is necessarily superior to the other in that aspect.

1. Glad to know that you do. I don't insist that you should mind ARR being called commercial or anything. Just that the complimenting Rahman purely in terms of his meeting success in Bollywood turf or something like that comes off as somewhat backhanded. (Not to forget how we Tamilians often condescend to Bollywood. You should see Suhasini talk about how Bollywood is all gloss and lacks substance, presumably without even seeing 1/10th of the Bollywood films that come every year!)

2. I didn't say you did. I added that bit (and that, just in brackets man; I tend to ramble!) just because 3.5 L is such a ridiculously small number and Orkut.com is such a ridiculously narrow domain.

3. Honestly, I don't get what you mean here. That I should just say Rahman and Raaja are great in their own rights? Of course, they are. Rahman and Raaja are like apples and oranges? I'm not sure what that would mean. You seem to insist that I never explicitly give my preference! They're like apples and oranges, after all, and all the jazz.
And, just because Roshan or you think, 'IMHO' was very much needed there, I don't want to prefix all my sentences with the phrase. My writing will look cluttered. Instead, I'll hereby declare that whatever I say is usually in my opinion, unless explicitly stated otherwise; it's sometimes honest, sometimes dishonest. I hereby also promise to add an explicit note, but only when it's dishonest.

4. Heh! Last time around, I did NOT say Raaja adds more to the genre (that was your quick inference then too, and I had to repeatedly correct you!), but that Raaja adds more of his own style (Raaja-esque) to different genres thus diluting the genre (that Raaja adds "less of the genre" is a valid inference to make, if at all the notion of "more" and "less" can be introduced here) and making it his own, than compose purely in that genre. That is a compliment to Rahman. And, you sure took it that way too. . And, as CR recollects, it's he who thought I was belitting Raaja here. See, the point here (and there too) is that, just because I appreciate how Rahman has composed purely in a wide range of genres (or has given many well-researched period film albums), it doesn't mean I'd diss Raaja for not doing so. I'd still appreciate what Raaja did to those genres, how he skewed them in a truly Raaja-esque way. After all, great music is beyond things such as genres. It's great if it hits the spot. Of course, for once, I'll explicitly say I'm talking about the music hitting the spot for me, not for anyone else.

5. Whoa, I gave the example to bring out that very difference, and, you're saying as if you're correcting me there! I don't have preconceived notions about who'd be better, between Rahman or Raaja, in doing the music for a film (whichever kind of film it is).

That is all.

Rahman would give the optimum between quality and commerce (usual caveats of "God" etc apply)

CR,
Thanks for that link

MADDY,
If you stop pouncing on me whenever I talk about Raaja and Rahman in the same line, you'd see what I meant. If it's of any help, I was responding to all the Kamal-Raaja combo fans (who think there's no reason for the partnership to "break," whatever that means; and, surely there were some posts in that vein), saying something similar to this:
"Just because Raaja's work with Kamal has been awesome (or god-awesome, if I may say so!), doesn't mean that he should always be the one who scores for Kamal. And, come on, there need not be the slightest of doubts when we've someone as majestic as Rahman! It'd be a great thing to see Kamal the filmmaker and Rahman together for the first time."

Roshan,
unmaiya sollanum 'nA, nInga sonnadhu puriyala. What have I been beating around on, here and elsewhere? Here I am, clearly stating that I regard Raaja with more reverence than Rahman, like everytime I get to discuss about Tamil film music here (which roughly amounts to twice, I think). And, you say I haven't been clear and straight-forward in expressing my likes and dislikes, preferences et al.? I don't "dislike" (*shudder*) Rahman's music for god's sake! I'm a huge fan of Rahman. Why at all do you think -- if at all you do -- I'm simply saying so without actually thinking so? Because I'm a bigger fan of Raaja? You surely don't seem to mind when Bala aNNan says that he rates Raaja higher, do you? It's the same case with me. All-time best rankings keep changing for everyone, but one still adore all of them! I used to place Rahman way above Raaja until a few years back, now I place Raaja on a higher pedestal because his music did it to me. There's no other way to put it. Everything is personal about it! All in my honest opinion.

unmaya dhAnE solreenga!

P.S: That does not mean i implied it in this tone: "Quality pOnA pOgudhu! Commercial-a irundhA pOdhum", thouhg i happened to stress only on the success part.

You don't have to clarify it to me, Bala. I know! I specifically said so myself in my post, in case you missed it. ("Marmayogi welfare fund" 'nnu vERa solli vechchirukken, adhukku oru kuttu peRa thayArAgavE irukkiREn!

)

Of course, all those folks also must be believing that the album would be great. I'm not claiming that they don't, just that they put it in the "Marmayogi welfare fund" way rather than the Rahman-is-awesome way.

[Dig]
Selva,
The last remark I'd like to hear about my writing (much pedestrian as it is) is that it's 'statistical.' What good is a writing when it's just statistical.

Anyway, what at all is statistical (or even clear) when someone talks as hazily as I do, how one composer adds "less of the genre" (!) and more of his style whenever he composes in various genres, while another composer composes purely in those genres themselves, and so on. And, all this, when I'm a total layman, a total arivili end-listener of music. Do you mean to say that I don't conclude that one of it is better? Of course, I won't! Because I don't think it's an appropriate yardstick to estimate the greatness of a music composition at all.
I just put down my thoughts on a few things I care about, there's no greater design to these things. Some respond to that, point me towards other things, some of which make me revisit my thoughts. idhukku mEla idhula solla enna irukku?

I've no idea about the things that you mention, so would like to stay away from that part. I didn't complain that you always pounce on me (as I already noted down, I've had this long a discussion on TFM only twice here!) or any such thing, but here again you reacted because I talked about Raaja and Rahman in conjunction. And, one sentence was all that had the mention of Raaja in my post! And, I don't get what "a generalised opinion" is. A person's opinion is exactly that. His or her opinion.

No problem, really. I've no problems at all with my personal preferences/ideas being publicly discussed. But, I'd respond by saying that I'm surprised, if there are any "unreasonable" reactions (what I consider as "unreasonable," of course). I didn't complain about your reaction per se, I just pointed out how I was actually talking about the excellence Rahman has consistently achieved in that post of mine. It does baffle me to see someone getting all worked up just because I revere Raaja even more... That's all. And, thanks for the kind words.

....i'm sorry for that..... Embarassed

that you want to prove time and again to us Raaja Fans! can never happen in your lifetime.

Anyways gool down...gool down... dont kraiy ya...dake it easy...

for the others who are wanting ARR to work for Kamal. I feel that should not happen as Kamal's working style and ARR's working style doesnt match and they may end up in bitterness towards each other. (Not that i care too much if they end up like this

)

Kamal is a perfectionist who need his script ready before going to the floors. Raaja was a perfect match for him as both work alike that they are ready with the script/screenplay/story or notations/music in their head aswel in papers before the shooting/recording happens.
That is not case with ARR-MR/Shankar combos. they work-rework-rerework until they feel it is the final version. I have read that nayagan was a 5.5 hrs movie and thalapathy was 4hrs movie before going to the editing room.
AFAIK kamal has never done that, If the combo happens he would demand ARR to give all the songs before going for the shooting and not in a remote possibility ARR would be able to provide it before a time period of 6 months

Does anybody here agree Kamal to wait that long for the songs to come in

Its ok If you people want kamal to change his working style

Moreover what i heard of the movie as childrens fantasy theme happening in 8th century Raaja would deliver it precisely which he has proved in 'My dear Kuttichaathan' , 'Jagatheeku veerudu Athiloka sundari' 'Anjali' 'Inimey Naangathaan' 'Paandavas' and many other movies where childrens fantasy cam in bits and pieces. ARR has nothing in his kitty to prove he has done such work already.
Iam not talking about 'child chorus' Iam talking about Fantasy themes taking you to dreamlands. Do we have any offerings from ARR in this genre? Lets discuss

No offence taken either, Selva.

But, I didn't get the "nor" part, I'd like to know what you mean. (On these lines, I'm only able to recall you finding my comments on Billa "biased" against Ajith. I'm not really a fan of Ajith, but that's not relevant to me when I watch Billa. If you look around, I'm not the only who thought it was a worthless film. And, I did think Prabhu was really funny.

ARR or IR for MY ? my few cents

as a Kamal fan, I want the best for his movies - that includes MY

1. am not happy with the choice of Himesh for Dasa - though I understand the absolutely need for someone who is known/ popular in Hindi as well - donno if ARR was approached for Dasa - but I can understand the producer wanting Himesh instead of anyone else to have national visibility

2. as for MY, if its Rajkamal prodns, unless and until IR downright refused, its most likely an IR-KH combo - I wudnt believe it otherwise - this is not about what I want or what I opine - this is based on what I (n am sure many) have observed with Kamal - noone/no market considerations are gonna force his hand, when it comes to his own productions - he will go for quality and I believe that in his own personal perception, IR is best suited/compatible with his views/tastes!

3.if the producer is a combo with RK, the choice of music wud depend on the percentage share of the other producer - if RK and the other producer make it 50-50, chances are Kamal wud go for ARR since he has to listen to the consensus of the other party - and i cant think of producers who wud opt for IR at this stage - on the other hand, if it is RK 75% and 25% from the other producer we are back to KH-IR combo!

4. personally, I WANT TO SEE IR-KH combo again - thats my personal choice as a fan! this is not to say that KH-ARR combo wud be bad, it wud be gud and the output wud be good too - its just my preference to have KH-IR combo

5. in the end, a combination of financial investment holders plus market considerations wud decide the final choice, not just what KH wants! - I personally believe that KH wud always have IR as his 1st choice! like how Spielberg always had John Williams as his first choice!

Reg "Nor" part, what would you do if someone says "Only Rekha was the saving grace of GUNA" Or "Only the guy who unties the Paavada naada in Sethu was the saving grace". It is as simple as that.

(On these lines, I'm only able to recall you finding my comments on Billa "biased" against Ajith. I'm not really a fan of Ajith, but that's not relevant to me when I watch Billa. If you look around, I'm not the only who thought it was a worthless film. And, I did think Prabhu was really funny. He took over from where he left in Chandramukhi.)

“Marmayogi will be shot in Hindi as well,” Kamal says. “But I’m doing things at my own pace. I’m one of the few filmmakers in Chennai who takes every Sunday off.”

What would really excite him is a project with Shruti. “Of course, it would be interesting to work with my daughter. But it has to be an apt script. A great father-daughter story would be a perfect casting for us,” he says, hoping somebody will come up with such a script.

“…I am deeply hurt by what is happening around in the name of religion. I personally feel, whenever there is a crisis, God becomes a mere witness. I am happy with my decision,” he explains.

Kamal Haasan gets busy with Marmayogi
Snippets by ANUPAMA SUBRAMANIAN
Deccan Chronicle

W ith Dasavatharam all set to hit theatres on June 13, Kamal Haasan has already
occupied himself with his directorial venture Marmayogi. The film shares its
title with a popular yesteryear film starring the legendary MGR, which was
released in 1951. Set in the seventh century, the filmâ€™s theme of vendetta
revolves around a war between two dynasties which leaves a sole survivor â€” a
child from one of the clans..

Kamalâ€™s character resuces the child and grooms him into a brave man, imparting
his wisdom to him. How the young man revives the past glory of his lost kingdom
forms the crux of the story.

Kamal has managed to cast Hema Malini in an important role, which has shades of
grey.

The actor who seems ever-ready to experiment, will employ a new top-of-the-line
camera called Red, which has never before been used by any filmmaker in India.
The equipment is said to give a high 5K resolution.

Previously, director Shankar had used only a 4K resolution for his earlier film
Sivaji.

Rahman-Kamal ink a secret deal?
The two heavyweights apparently want to make the most expensive film

Now, what is this my sources tell me? Either Rahman is too tired of making just music or he wants to make more money. Methinks it's the latter! Why else would he want to make a film? Yup, you heard it right, music director AR Rahman has finally turned producer. The name of his debut production is said to be Marmayogi. Set in the seventh century, Rahman will co-produce the film with Kamal Haasan.

I am given to believe that Kamal had initially been roped in to produce this film with Bharat Bala Productions and Adlabs. However, things didn't fall into place with the two companies and now Rahman has stepped in. Of course, everyone in showbiz wants to make movies at some point. But I must confess, I couldn't help being surprised when I was told that this could well be the most expensive film in India!

Kamal Haasan will direct and act in Marmayogi and Rahman will compose the music... now that's what I'd call cost-cutting!

Rahman turns producer with MARAMYOGI

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 5, 2008 7:56:16 PM IST
Rachana, Bollywood Trade News Network

The music maestro A R Rahman seems to be in a mood to add a new feather to his cap.

According to the grapevine ace music director Rahman who enchanted souls with his melodious music is now gearing up to step into the producers� shoes. The buzz is that A R Rahman has now turned producer. In fact he has signed none other than Kamal Hassan to direct and act for his film tentatively titled MARAMYOGI.

Rahamn will also compose music for his home production MARAMYOGI. The film will be made in Hindi and later on dubbed in other regional Languages.

Kamal Hassan woos A R Rahman

Kamal Hassan finally signs music maestro AR Rahman for his home production, Marmayogi . It is going to be Kamal Hassan’s next venture after Dashavtaram . Kamal himself will co-produce, direct and act in this film.

Rahman was in Mumbai for a short visit, when he revealed his next venture. A smiling Rahman in a black suit discloses, “It’s strange, but Kamal and I have never worked together. We stay in the same city, work in the same industry, but we have never got an opportunity to work together. But this is an interesting project and I will be working on the tracks as soon as I reach Chennai.”

However there were several rumours doing the rounds about Rahman turning into a film producer. This question actually got the composer to burst out laughing. He retorts, “Me and produce films? When will I compose music if I am dealing with production hassles? Even I have heard that I have approached Aamir Khan and Kamal Hassan to direct a film for me. Well, it is utter rubbish. I am not trying my hands at screenplay either. I will leave that to the experts.”

It can be recalled that before this, Kamal Hassan’s film was backed by Bharat Bala Production along with Adlabs. Though Marmayogi will be made in Hindi it will be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu.

Guys, is it gona be a in hindi or tamil??Marmayogi sounds like tamil though..

As Marmayogi is directed by Kamal and as most of us feel that he will not compromise too much for commercialising the movie we can expect a product which is similar to or better than Hey Ram, Virumandi or Anbe Sivam.
But considering that this is going to be the most expensive Tamil movie, does Talivar have any plans of ensuring the commercail success?

Problem is that if it flops, Marudanayagam will remain as a dream

I only wish that Indian Film industry becomes more mature and gets a permanent place in the World cinema. As of today we produce more than half of the World's films, but still we are not the best in the industry. Let's hope that we overcome that limitation.

One of the finest debuts.

Thiru (who was also PC's assistant) was used in Hey ! Ram and AaLavandhaan.

All about Kamal's next project

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

June 20, 2008

Exactly one month after the release of his magnum opus Dasavatharam (June 13th 2008), Kamal Haasan will start working on his next project Marmayogi on July 13, 2008. This film's inaugural pooja will be held at the Grand Hotel in Mumbai. As like Dasavatharam, Marmayogi will also be made in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu simultaneously. Sources close to

Kamal say that Marmayogi will be made on a stupefying budget of Rs. 120 crores and the actor will produce the film on a first copy basis for production major Pyramid Saimira. It is believed that Pyramid Saimira was in the race to procure the all India distribution rights of Dasavatharam but could only obtain the rights for Coimbatore area. Perhaps Marmayogi will soothe the ruffled feathers of Pryramid Saimira!

irir123, there is a difference between execution not coming out perfectly and holding back on aesthetics/creativity to play it safe.
I don't think my problem with Dasa was because of glitches in execution. The bigger the investment the greater the incentive to play it safe, the greater the incentive to dip in masala batter. That is why I am feeling a little worried.

I just want this to be the 'real' thing not a step-up movie till the 'real show begins'. Am in no mood for an appetiser before MarudhanAyagam.....have had an overdose of appetisers in the last few years.

MY should be at-least as good as VirumaaNdi.....is the kind of expectation I am nursing for this film. And I am not willing to tone that down this time. Which is why I am receiving every news about the movie's grandness (multilingual, biggest ever etc.) with hesitation rather than enthusiasm.

I dont blame them - its just that IR needs a big break like 'Cheeni Kum' to make his presence felt on the all-India market
From: irir123 on Fri Jun 20 10:35:20 2008.

Its interesting to note how Hollywood works in this context: Spielberg-John Williams, Manoj N Shyamalan-James Newton Howard, Tim Burton-Danny Elfman are all well-known teams of directors-composers - once a production company decides on a director, such as MNS, Spielberg or TB, coz they are very-well established filmmakers, they are given a free hand in casting their choice - the marketability is not the issue here! even if Spielberg gives a (relative) failure like War of the Worlds, his association with JW is kind-of fixed!

only in India, where I reckon the very concept of film soundtracks refers to a bunch of songs specifically meant for dancensong routines, one goes by 'marketable' preferences rather than quality alone!

Beyond TN and AP (to some extent), how many people know about background music in a movie ? or its importance ?

IR unfortunately is a pioneer sticking out like a sore-thumb, for the simple reason that only a small percentage of cinema patrons in India 'understand' BGM in the strictest sense!

I have often been to workshops on creativity in film scores here at Houston and I tell you they are very-well attended/received - for instance, last year Philip Glass gave a talk at the Moores School of Music, followed by a demo on the piano - there were some random images played on the screen for which he played the piano impromptu and the audience could interact with him in-between! it was sheer magic just to watch the whole proceedings!

these are the difference in circumstances that dictate an MD's choice

'Marmayogi' to be launched in Mumbai
IndiaGlitz [Friday, June 20, 2008]

‘Marmayogi’, Kamal Haasan's next venture would be launched on July 13, exactly a month after the release of ‘Dasavatharam’. Kamal Haasan seems to be eyeing the Hindi market and probably that is the reason the movie is going to be launched at the Grand Hotel in Mumbai.

The master actor's movies such as ‘Ek Thuje Keliye’, ‘Hindusthani’ and ‘Chachi 420’ were runaway successes in the North. Despite these hits, the actor had to face failures in the form of ‘Hey Ram’ and ‘Abey’. ‘Dasavatharam’ is expected to do very well in Hindi and the actor probably wants to back it up with a good showing with ‘Marmayogi’ as well. The movie would be released in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu.

Kamal Haasan having written the story and screenplay would also direct the film. Pyramid Saimira International will be producing the movie and have awarded Kamal Haasan the production rights on a first copy basis. It would be interesting to see how the expenses of the movie turn out. There is a general perception in the film industry that Kamal Haasan creative mind 'thinks' expensive.

Would his creative mind still 'think' expensive with him as the producer on a first copy basis? We'll have to wait and see. But knowing the man's passion for filmmaking, one gets a gut feeling it really wouldn't alter his mindset.

‘Marmayogi’ is expected to be a historic adventure film with the best of technicians and artistes. Actress Kajol has been approached for a role in the film and A. R. Rahman will be scoring music.

irir123,
Raaja has always does an absolutely fabulous job for Kamal films, of course, and there's simply no reason whatsoever for Kamal to think of some other composer for his films. But, I nevertheless disagree with the essentiality in your point. Primarily because it's Rahman -- Indubitably an outstanding and immensely prestigious composer himself. Now, he has never worked in a Kamal film (the kind we are referring to as "Kamal films" here) yet, and that's reason enough for me to greatly look forward to this association.

Kamal Hassan woos A R Rahman

Kamal Hassan finally signs music maestro AR Rahman for his home production, Marmayogi . It is going to be Kamal Hassan’s next venture after Dashavtaram . Kamal himself will co-produce, direct and act in this film.

Rahman was in Mumbai for a short visit, when he revealed his next venture. A smiling Rahman in a black suit discloses, “It’s strange, but Kamal and I have never worked together. We stay in the same city, work in the same industry, but we have never got an opportunity to work together. But this is an interesting project and I will be working on the tracks as soon as I reach Chennai.”

However there were several rumours doing the rounds about Rahman turning into a film producer. This question actually got the composer to burst out laughing. He retorts, “Me and produce films? When will I compose music if I am dealing with production hassles? Even I have heard that I have approached Aamir Khan and Kamal Hassan to direct a film for me. Well, it is utter rubbish. I am not trying my hands at screenplay either. I will leave that to the experts.”

It can be recalled that before this, Kamal Hassan’s film was backed by Bharat Bala Production along with Adlabs. Though Marmayogi will be made in Hindi it will be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu.

That's a very good question you ask. It always stuck me when reading historical novels. To set a story in a different time is no different from setting it in a different language.

In no historical movie can we have accurate diction.
I don't think we have the remotest idea how spoken language was around that time. Anything before 20th century and we are already on weak foundations. So it can only be taken from today's point of view.

For instance in Dasa, it would have been virtually impossible to address the King the way we saw: though it seemed to us - with today's standards - that a certain deference was maintained.

Nambi's father in law pronouncing "maappiLLai" completely the way it is odd isn't it ? It is just 'sudhdha' Tamil as seen today. The tongues and the difficulty to pronounce syllables like that - particularly under duress - is universal that it would not have been pronounced as written. In fact I am not sure the word itself would have existed then.

Be warned of some amateur guesswork in the armchair etymology here: மாப்பிள்ளை is what remains of மருமகப்பிள்ளை = மரு + அக(த்து) + பிள்ளை (to translate roughly: the son from the other house/family).

அதுக்காக "மாப்ளே !" அப்பிடின்னும் காண்பிக்க முடியாது.

The word has morphed in implications in today's usage. After all the movies are made for today - and in Kamal's case for posterity too.

Most definitely Kattabomman would not have said "வானம் பொழிகிறது etc...". It would have been a Tamil-Telugu mix with a Tirunelvely slant.
The dialogue is a impressive archaism constructed to appeal to our sensibilities today (okay in the '60s).

Personally, I feel Mel Gibson's Christ and others speaking Hewbrew-Aramaic with English subtitles is a bit of uttAlakkadi.

So, while we can be sure that Kamal will definitely try to get more 'real' than that there are some natural limitations simply because we just don't know enough about the vocabulary, usages etc. So I don't think we can have 'real tongue' spoken and a Tamil translation subtitled.

Good post.
I had been thinking for long on the same lines about the spoken language in historicals. My idea is that it shud be closest to the colloquial language of the region where the characters are born and brought up. Apart from the 'Brahmins' in TN all other people strictly stick to the regional accent. But the accent could not have evolved much in times and could have only been marginally different from what we hear today. the roots of the structure, the rhythm and the way lanuguage is spoken should have been the almost similar to today only the words could've evolved differently.

We can apply this closer to 2000 years backwards IMO. My opinion is formed from the basic premise that only after 19th/20th century the intermingling of different regional people started on a massive scale while before that the people should've lived a life of closed community with a maximum of once/Twice in a year visit to the 'nearest largest town'.

I think Kounders living in the Madurai/Theni/Dindukkal area don't lose their kongu accent. I say this based on Virumaandi's Kounder character and also on a certain blogger's (who is a kounder who lived mostly in Dindukkal) podcasts...

Largely true, but even the Brahmin registers in various of parts of TN exhibit substantial absorption of regional differences. It is not one homogeneous (insular) register as is widely perceived.

For instance the diction and accent of the Tamil brahmins of Coimbatore is vastly different from those of (say) Tirunelveli - both absorb the regional influences substantially - most notably the vocabulary. The cliched but clearest example is the PalakkAttu Thamizh.
There are subtler things too: "'என்னா வோணும்" is an expression you can't hear south of Vizhuppuram North of it you can hear it from everyone including in Brahmin households in North Arcot.

As usual, Tamil films choose to ignore all the nuances and depict the register in an exaggerated archaic fashion that it is made a spectacle - like Vijayakumar speaking Kongu Tamil.

The Virumaandi example is great for the extent of research. I remember someone posting this comment in your blog about the way Telugu is used in the film...exactly as it is spoken in those parts - as a literal translation of Tamil expressions (and not the way the actual telugu expression would be)

Napolean in one scene says okkati lEdhu (a literal translation of oNNum illai) rather than 'Emi lEdhu'.

So we can look forward to such quality research in MY too.

More than the slang, the concern is about constumes. In 7th century CE both men and women were not wearing tops How are they going to shoot that? Ultimately they have to make some compromise.

I don't want to attribute the mistake ONLY TO KSR. Kamal could have corrected it. Asin and Nepolean Had they gone with some unknown face for the Asin role, it would have been at least OK. Be it KSR or Kamal - I am disappointed with that entire sequence. If kamal delivers well, then I have no complaints. Just that he should watch out.

How abt a movie like Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" where the lead cast speaks the tribal language (which none of the audience will understand). But still you can connect with the movie and follow the story. But I am not sure whether out tamil audience will accept such execution.

Also with Kamal's talent he shud be streching his boundaries across and make a world movie...not a tamil one anymore.

Regarding music I agree Kamal & IR have given some awesome stuff...but they havent gone beyond the South-Indian barrier. Very few of his songs have crossed barriers..."Hey Ram" and "Mumbai Express" both cudnt travel anywhere other thaan tamil mannu.

Thats the reason Rahman is here. Infact they shud have worked for many movies together.Rahman makes global music which will also take the movie to a bigger level...

You have misunderstood the term "Global Music". Its not what Jackson or Madonna does...or its not abt using rock guitars in an epic.... Its making music for a tamil epic which can connect to a foreigner too. If HeyRam's music will appeal to the international audience why didnt it reach even North India properly.

Yesterday I was listening to the BGMs of Shyam Benegal's "BOSE - the forgotten Hero"...wondered if Dasa had such BGMs...

Infact IR's symphony does have that magic...but I dont remember which of Kamal's movie had such a mindbloing music which can sweep the entire of India. Lets think in broader perspective...

Marmayogi needs such tracks to elevate the film to a different platform.

Kamal’s Dasavatharam has lived up to its hype and the film has already been declared a blockbuster. The thorough professional that he is, Kamal is reported to have already commenced work on his next project Marmayogi.The project is touted to be a period one and the latest buzz from Kamal’s camp is that majority of Marmayogi will be shot at Ramoji

Rao Film City at Hyderabad. Though there are rumors which suggest that the official launch may be held on the 13th of July, there are also talks which point to the direct commencement of shooting without the same. Script is ready and Kamal will be handling story, screenplay and direction. The cast is not yet finalized except for a small hint which was thrown during Dasavatharam audio launch that Hema Malini may be featured with shades of grey. Keep visiting this site for more information.

A R Rahman will team up with Kamal Haasan for 'Marmayogi' and the mega movie will hit the floors next month in Mumbai. The film is written and directed by Kamal Haasan.

This period film set in the sixth century AD features Kamal Haasan in the lead role.

According to a confident Kamal Haasan, 'music would be the mainstay of the movie. I will be joining hands with Rahman for the project. We are sure of creating wonders'.

Kamal Haasan and Rahman had earlier worked together in ‘Indian’ and ‘Thenali’. Both the movies went on to become smash hits. The songs in the films topped the audio charts.

Both Kamal Haasan and A. R. Rahman are known for extensive research in order to get things right. Their combination might just work wonders with rich entertainment value.

Kamal's short film on ‘Marmayogi’ IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, July 02, 2008]

Remember the grand trailer Kamal filmed for his dream project 'Marudhanayagam' a decade ago.

In similar vein, the actor has now come up with a short film on his forthcoming movie 'Marmayogi'. Sources reveal that the short film comprises the theme of the movie, cast and crew along with other technical details. It would be screened at the grand launch of 'Marmayogi' planned at Mumbai by this month end.

It is said that bigwigs of Bollywood like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Shah Rukh Khan are expected to attend the launch ceremony. Produced by Pyramid Saimira, ‘Marmayogi’ would have Hema Malini and other Bollywood actors in pivotal roles.

A short film to promote a feature film is indeed a novel idea. What will creativity come up with?

Let's wait and watch.

Thalaivar had gone to Thailand a few months back for a location check. It is said that they had taken some test shots in the RED camera.
They might show some kind of a teaser (like they did for Sandiyar)... Whatever it is, can't wait!!!

What did they use in MX ? That was also a digital camera isn't it ? Some scenes - like the crane scene - were quite grainy.

Aalivut films have been using RED for a while ?
RED is supposed to be the best digital thing around.Is it better than regular 'film' ?
Any translators here ?

Was having a conversation with our Karthi regarding this yesterday. Avar sonnadhu, in MX they had used a (relatively) low resolution digital camera. RED is supposed to have a much better res and also gives better output in low light (remember reading this somewhere).

Yeah, enakkum light-a andha crane scene bayam irukku but i think this time they won't do such blunders (i hope not!!)

It is said that the MY crew shot a "scene" in Thailand with a group of people running in an open field against the backdrop (or foreground) of a big rock. adhukkappuram big screen la pottu paathaangalaam...

Interestingly, when Thalaivar was in discussions with Gemini Films Circuit earlier for Marmayogi, one of the points of discussions was whether to use digital or film camera - Manohar Prasad was not for using Digital camera, it is gathered.

I'm kind of split between apprehension and expectation. Apprehension for obvious reasons and expectation because of certain factors at play in recent times.

Though Dasa has been welcomed by the B/C sections also, i think starting from Marmayogi, Thalaivar is looking at newer markets. Its clear enough he is targeting the mainstream Hindi audience, he might also want to go international with MY. Dasavatharam's collections was the objective, stepping stone and proof of concept. MY might be a dry run for Marudh - in terms of both content and markets.
One thing is sure. Its NOT going to be like Dasa and it will have quite a different appeal (my guess) - it won't be a Hey Ram either (again, i hope not!!).

The budget - is it because of graphics? (the word itself is a cause for concern to me), hiring foreign technicians, or shooting in foreign locales?? Eppadi irundhaalum, BRING IT ON THALAIVAA!

Also agree about the dry run part. In my view, another movie like Hey Ram would not be made. The best way forward would be films like Virumandi, pseudo-reaslistic (for want of a better word), with some amount of heroism thrown in. I see subjects like MY and Marudhanayagam offering ample scope for that. Aanaa, 'Hindi market' konjam bayamuruthudhu. 7th century-oda oththu varuma?!!

In fact, it is in a head long race with Soderbergh's first RED film, Guerrilla to become the first to release worldwide[

From: jaiganes on Thu Jul 3 4:28:32 2008.

MX used total digital technology to shoot and process. unfortunately most of our country's theatres do not have digital projection technology - added to that if they take the film and print a DVD - the problems in projection will be duly transferred to the DVD as well. that was the bane with MX and PC's vaanam vasappadum. If MY is processed by ADLABS, care will surely be taken to reduce the analog projection noise that was so visibly seen in MX.Als Red will help in shooting in dimly lit settings - 7th century - story = less candela of lighting means need for camera to shoot in dim lights = RED camera. It will be interesting because earlier technology leaps in hollywood will come to India only after decades - now it seems we are catching up with them in just a span of a year. Already there is a thamizh movie with Prasanna and Sneha being shot in RED in USA. MY will be second one.

Arun can think of shooting in RED and making it because, though he is making a movie in Thamizh, he is based out of hollywood.

The Tamil film industry is buzzing with news that Shriya Saran might get a chance to work with Kamal Haasan and that some war scenes of Marmayogi will be shot in Switzerland.

Since the Shriya-Rajini combination worked well, her name is also being considered for Marmayogi which stars the other Tamil stalwart – Kamal Haasan. Bollywood actress Kajol's name is also being considered for this role.

It has also been heard that Shriya, whose career has been growing phenomenally these days is also looking forward to play the lead in Marmayogi. Shriya got the rare opportunity of working with Rajini in Sivaji and is eager to work with Kamal too, by which she would achieve the much-coveted and esteemed status of having acted with the "twin stalwarts" of Tamil cinema.

It is also rumoured that Kamal Haasan has decided to shoot the war scenes of the movie in Switzerland so that no news about the film leaks out, as such a news leak would kill the awe that these scenes could generate when released.

All these are rumours/speculation and have not yet been confirmed. But yes, it will be enjoyable if they come true!

For about 300 years preceding the 7th century TN came under the rule of Kalabhras (Bala, remember the passing menton in the Sandiyar nakkal interview). There is little info about them however it is believed they were Jains/Buddhists who were opposed to Vedic practices.

After the decline of the Kalabhras the early Pandya, Pallava kings were followers of the Jain and Buddhist faiths. Starting 7th century there was a revival of Saivism and Vaishnavism both among the people and in terms of political clout. There was a lot of political-religious turmoil at that time. As far as I know the clarity on that is rather limited for any clear blame-game but sufficient ground for artistic license.

I see lot of scope for people to swoop in and sue. It will be useful if he takes some anticipatory legal action to protect the film.

I think Kalappirargal time is much later pobably between the fall of chola kingdom and the raise of SundharaPandiyan - about the time of Malik Kafur padayeduppu - during which many idols - ostly vishnu idols were moved out of the sanctum sanctorum to protect them from being destroyed by the muslim forces (probably a fact used by Kamal to distort and dramatize saivite and vaishnavite tensions in Dasa). After Malik Kafur went back kalapirargal came and dominated much of thamizh nadu, only to be driven away by Madurayai meetta sundhara paandiyan and later quelled by Vijayanagar and naicker rule. Naicker rule saw the infusion of telugu words in Thamizh nadu - and naickers and naidus usng telugu mixed with thamizh which was clearly shown in Nallama Naicker household in virumaandi.

From: P_R on Fri Jul 4 9:21:18 2008.

No Jaiganes.

The threat of the Ranganathar idol, and the drama of how it was transported around and saved, during the Muslim invasion of Srirangam 13th century is indeed widely known. But Chidambaram is real too. It is not a substantial "distortion" of facts in Dasa. Ottakkooththar - a court poet of the saivite fanatic Kulothunga, and a rival of the Vaishnavite poet Kambar- is said to have documented the removal of the Govindarajar idol in his song of praise of kulothunga : "..he who removed 'minor' deities from Thillai" (I don't have the exact lines)

MAravarman SundarapANdiyan invaded Rajaraja III sometime in the 13th century which marks the downfall of the Chola empire. Nearly a century later was when Malik Kafur enters the scene.
By this time Jainism and Buddhism were well nigh gone in Tamilnadu.

Recorded history gets clearer and clearer by that time. Kalabhras belonged to their time which is not clearly recorded. Indeed their very existence is unclear. In fact the relatively sparse and unglowing mention by the subsequent 'Hindu' kings is what leads to the inference that they were probably anti-Vedic.

My knowledge is rather superficial, folks like kannan/podalangai will be able to provide more in-depth information.

No solid sources, here are some I got googling. link1 link2. None that make it beytond doubt. Indeed there are some sections that refute that Kalabhras ever existed and it is a Tamil conspiracy to extend the antiquity of Tamil culture !!

That Mahendravarman sanctioned siththannavAsal after his conversion is interesting information. I hope you are not suggesting that it is proof enough that Jains had a rosy time under all Saivite Kings Smile

If there is one versatile personality in tinsel town who brings all honor and pride to the Kollywood, its none other than our universal hero Padmashri Kamal Haasan. Floating with high toned colors of success with his recent blockbuster Dasavatharam, Padmashri is soon to commence his next project titled ‘Marmayogi’ that will set to be his another magnum opus.

Well, we all know that he has plans to launch his movie at Grand Hotel in Mumbai on 13th July. But now looks like the launch date has been postponed to 25th July since Kamal Haasan is getting done with a special press Kit that will have a big teaser on the film, interviews of cast and crew of the film.

Who’s who of Bollywood and Tamil Film Industry will be present for the occasion of movie launch. We are sure this must have really disturbed the Hindi Film Industry who all the time used to boast that they are the icons of Indian film fraternity throughout the World.

None thou art worry about this, when our Kamal Haasan swaying with success bringing all the credits to Tamil Film industry…

மர்மயோகி

Keerthi

மர்மயோகியில் அமிதாப் பச்சன் நடிக்கப்போவதாக நம்பத்தகுந்த-நம்பத்தகாத (ஒரே வார்த்தையாக படிக்கவும்) வட்டாரங்களிலிருந்து செய்திகள் வர ஆரம்பித்திருக்கின்றன. மும்பையில் ஆரம்பம்... கோடிகளில் பட்ஜெட்... டிரெய்லர் ரெடி.. என்று செய்திகள்.. வதந்திகள். பரபரப்புகள்..

தசாவதாரத்தை கடித்துத் துப்பிய மீடியா, அடுத்த கைப்பிடி அவலை வாயில் போட்டுக்கொண்டுள்ளது. இனி படம் வரும் வரை, வாக்யூமில் வயலின் வாசிப்பார்கள்.

சொந்த சிந்தனையில், ஜோஸியம் பார்ப்போம். இனி, படம் வரும் வரை என்னென்ன செய்திகள் மர்மயோகியைச் சுற்றி வரும்.

* கமல் படத்தில் நடிப்பதற்கு அமிதாப் ஒப்புக்கொண்டார். பின்னர் கழண்டு கொண்டார். அமிதாப் கேட்ட சம்பளம் கமலின் சம்பளத்தைவிட அதிகமாக இருந்ததால் பிரச்சனை. தயாரிப்பாளர் விழி பிதுங்கினார். தயாரிப்பளருக்கும் கமலுக்கும் சண்டை. பின்னர் ஆஆஸ்கார் தலையிட்டு "நான் வேணும்னா தயாரிக்கிறேன்" என்று சொல்ல... "வேண்டாம் வேண்டாம்.. நானே அமிதாப் கெட்டப்ல வந்து அட்ஜஸ்ட் பன்னிக்கிறேன்" என்று கமல் சொல்ல, ஒருவழியாக பிரச்சனை முடிந்தது.

* மர்மயோகியில் ஷ்ரேயா. மர்மயோகியில் ஐஸ்வர்யா ராய். மர்மயோகியில் இலியானா. மர்மயோகியில் மீண்டும் அசின். மர்மயோகியில் நயன்தாரா. மர்மயோகியில் ஹீரோயினே இல்லை.

* மர்மயோகியின் பட்ஜெட் - ரூ. 100 கோடி.

* மர்மயோகி படம் எடுப்பதற்கு முன்பே டிரெயிலர் வெளியிடப்பட்டது. டிரெயிலரைப் பார்த்து கலைஞர் கருணாநிதி கமலஹாசனுக்கு - "அகில இந்திய உலகளாவிய தமிழக நாயகன்" என்று பட்டம் அளித்தார்.

* மர்மயோகி படத்திற்கு இசையமைக்க ஏ.ஆர். ரகுமான் ஒப்புக்கொண்டார். "நாலு பாட்டு நான் பாடற மாதிரி வெச்சுக்குங்க" என்று கமல் சொல்ல.. மீண்டும் ப்ரச்சனை. தயாரிப்பாளார் பதைபதைக்க...சமாதானப்படுத்தி "அப்பொ சரி ! பாக்கி ஆறு பாட்டை நான் பாடறேன்.. இது ஓகேன்னா அதுவும் ஓக்கே !!" என்று ரகுமான் கடாட்சிக்கிறார்.

* டிரெய்லர் பார்த்துவிட்டு இந்து முன்னனி கட்சிகள் வரிந்து கட்டிக்கொண்டு கேஸ் போட்டனர். "மர்மயோகின்னு படம் எடுத்து இந்து மக்களின் உணர்ச்சிகளை புண்படுத்துகிறார். படத்துல பகவத் கீதையை கமல் படிக்கற மாதிரி காட்சி வருது. இந்து மக்கள் யாரும் இப்படிச் செய்வதே இல்லை. எந்த ஆதாரத்தில் இப்படி கமல் நடிக்கலாம் ? இந்தப் படத்துக்கு உச்ச நீதிமன்றம் தடை விதிக்கக் கோரி வழக்கு போடப்போறோம்".

* வைரமுத்து ஒரு பேட்டியில் "மர்மயோகி..!!. இந்தப்படத்தில் ஒரு பாடல் எழுதியிருக்கிறேன். பிப்பாஷா பாசு தோன்றும் இந்தப்பாடலில் ஒரு வரி.. 'குஜராத்தில் மதக்கலவரம், என்னெஞ்சில் காதல் கலவரமடா...' என்று எழுதியிருக்கிறேன்" என்று கேனத்தனமாக பேட்டி கொடுப்பார்.

* மர்மயோகியின் பட்ஜெட் - ரூ. 140 கோடி.

* மர்மயோகியில் மம்முட்டி மர்மமில்லாத யோகியாக நடிக்கலாம். இல்லையில்லை மோகன்லால்.

* மர்மயோகியில் க்ளைமாக்ஸ் காட்சிக்காக பூகம்பம் தத்ரூபமாக படம் பிடிக்கப்படுகிறது. இதற்காக குழுவினர் அனைவரும் சைனா பயணம்.பூகம்பம் இல்லாமலே தயாரிப்பாளர் பதற்றம்.

* மர்மயோகியின் பட்ஜெட் - ரூ. 170 கோடி.

* இதுதான் மர்மயோகியில் கமலின் ஒப்பனை - என்று குங்குமம் வைத்த கமல், மலைவாசி கமல் என்று சம்மந்தாசம்மந்தமில்லாத படங்களை எல்லாம் போட்டு ஒரு சிறப்பிதழ் வெளிவரும்.

* பாடல் வெளியீட்டுக்காக அர்னால்ட் ஷ்வார்செனகர் சென்னை வரலாம் என்று எதிர்பார்ப்பு. இல்லையில்லை டாம் க்ரூஸ்.

* மர்மயோகியின் பட்ஜெட் - ரூ. 240 கோடி.

* தயாரிப்பாளர் "இந்தப்படம் மிகப்பெரும் வெற்றிப்படமாக அமையும் என்பதில் சந்தேகமே இல்லை" என்று நெற்றி வியர்வையைத் துடைத்துக்கொண்டே சொன்னார்.

* திரைப்படம் ப்ரிவ்யூ !! ரஜினிகாந்த் மயக்கம் போட்டு விழுந்தார். பாலச்சந்தர் கமலை உப்பு மூட்டை தூக்கி பாராட்டினார்.

* முதல் நாள் ஷோ பார்த்துவிட்டு வெளிநாடு வாழ் தமிழ் ப்ளாகர்கள் மற்றும் லோக்கல் ப்ளாகர்கள் படத்தை கிழி கிழி என்று கிழிப்பார்கள். "மர்மயோகியில் மர்ம யோகிக்கு இடையே ஒரு ஸ்பேஸ் வர வேண்டும். கமல் இப்படிச்செய்வார் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கவில்லை. படத்தில் ஸ்க்ரீன்ப்ளே சரி இல்லை. படத்தின் ஸ்க்ரிப்டை கவனமாக எழுதியிருக்கவேண்டும். படத்தில் கதை இல்லை. மைக்கேல் மதன காமராஜன் மாதிரி இல்லை. ஆனால் கமல் உழைப்புக்கு சல்யூட்" என்று மைக்ரோ அனாலசிஸ் செய்த மாதிரி கணக்கு காட்டுவர்.

* கமல் மட்டும் ஓரமாக நின்று தற்காலத்து சினிமாவின் வெற்றிக்கான ஃபொர்முலா கண்டுபிடித்த சந்தோஷத்தில் மருதநாயகம் பட துவக்க விழா அறிவிப்பு விடுவார்.

சுபம்.

Marmayogi - Change of Producer?
I heard that Aandavar may let go off Pyramid Saimira as the producer of Marmayogi. This is because of the problem they are currently facing in trying to sell a to-be-released film. They paid lot of money for this movie and now no distributor or exhibitors are willing to shell out good money. They all want to buy it on the cheap or else want Pyramid to make up for the losses. Because of this movie, the launch of Marmayogi is getting delayed.

Now there seems to be huge interest for lot of the corporates who have seen the magic of Aandavar at the box office through Dasa that they are willing to shell out any kind of money.

I hope one of the bigger corporates steps in and Aandavar get the movie off the ground.

Hopefully there will be more light shed on this in the days to come...

Amar, I cannot imagine our Surya in a historical movie like Marmayogi, maily the dialogue delivery for that era. For that matter, none of the other young actors in tamil come to mind.
Considering the talent or lack of talent out there, Surya might be a better choice.

(I love recent Surya movies (not SJ Surya Very Happy

), so don't think I am trying to bring him down)

Hi guys
after seeing dasavathaaram, I can say that Kamal have to be very careful in choosing the guys for dialogue delivery for that period. They need to undergo training. In dasavathaaram no one was convincing except Kamal hassan on the dialogue delivery part. Many people ridiculed even Kamal when they were questioning the ability of Kamal hassan when compared with yesteryear actors regarding his capability of doing roles of old era. But kamal proved that he can do that one also easily in dasavathaaram. Kamal is really a wonder.

It gossips about Pyramid Saimira to change hands the rights of Kuselan.

read somewhere that, becos of their monetary problems, kamal is doubting their funding capacity, as they are the producers of marmayogi. also heard that now kamal is looking for different producers. with dasa becoming a massive hit, i guess getting a big corporate is very easy for kamal, now

From: marma_yogi on Wed Jul 16 10:38:22 2008.

I believe even before getting Pyramid Saimeera on board Marma Yogi, thalaivar was talking to Adlabs/Reliance first and then Gemini Films.

I think the terms and condition didn't work out and thats why he didn't go with them. Infact I even read somewhere that they wanted thalaivar to sign on multi year - multi movie deal which he rightly rejected. I think thats why he went with Pyramid.

Honestly he shouldn't go with Pyramid. Though they might be big in South India, in North they are not. Instead if thalaivar goes with Adlabs or Ronnie Screwla's UTV, he will have a wider reach in North India which is very crucial before he revives Marudanayagam.

You succeeded in winning audience appreciation but you seem to have disappointed some critics? Unlike mythological Dasavatharam, it seems that your ten roles reflect varied shades of human mind?
From the outset we had resolved to reach out to wider section of the audience and our confidence stands vindicated. We consciously overlooked the views of so-called pundits to churn out an entertainer. Again my belief that the audience would definitely patronise anything unique has been strengthened and actually they have raised the bar of expectations. We intended to explore shades of complex human mind. Haven't we seen a baddy like Fletcher, idealist, activist and even a fun-making cop around us. Apparently even the audience related to the real-life characters making it a success. I would have made some mistakes in the film but I will keep committing them since we don't possess sure-fire formula for success. I wanted the film to be more like a 'cocktail discussion'.

Is 'Marmayogi' a musical?
IndiaGlitz [Friday, July 18, 2008]

Kamal Haasan's 'Marmayogi', is all set to hit the floors very soon. A. R. Rahman joins hands with Kamal Haasan after a long gap for the movie.

The music maestro, who is making waves in the Tamil and Hindi film industries had recently stated in an interview that Kamal has demanded many songs for the film, as the script had ample scope for music.

To a question on Kamal's reported remarks that movies should be made without songs, Rahman said, 'I don't think so. If it is the case, then why would Kamal ask for more songs to be incorporated in 'Marmayogi'.

'Marmayogi' will have new and interesting music, says Rahman.

naan indha viLayaattukku varalai

Felt really down seeing this. I was one of those who couldn't wait to get Dasa out of the way to see the 'real game'. Seriously the most exciting piece of news for me, is the one you posted a few months back that after Dasa Kamal was going to roll up his sleeves and get to work.

As he said in the Malayalam interview he was quite conscious about what Dasa is and what it is not. I was glad he was not misled by the din of chants that it is a classic, milestone and so on. He was just being a good marketeer and of course a seasoned entertainer. But I am now worried if he will keep making 'successful' films from now on.

Pause. What is wrong with success ? Nothing at all. Lovely. Why should he make a Hey ! Ram if it is going to burn him. I don't mean just financially. Dasa is doing the job of impressing a wide bunch of people enough. Screw the snobbish cognoscente. Not just mindless entertainment. Hordes of ordinary movie goers feel intellectually engaged. They have seen nothing like it in their staple fare. In terms of craft you raise the bar by a mile or two and leave industry peers gasping. Really, is that not worth two years' effort ?

If I say why is he "wasting time with Dasa types" who will make "Hey ! Ram" the equally potent response will be "well, who else can do Dasa ?". Fair question. Dasa is not VV. No one else could have done it. And obviously more people are toeing this line.

But amid all there is a searing inexplicable regret that the greatest Tamil screenwriter who ever breathed air is going to spend two vital golden years on something which is not the best use of his time.

Anyway maybe going to Dasa this weekend. adhu vEra vishayam

Prabhuram - I doubt if MY will be in the same 'league' like DASA - am sure Kamal wont disappoint us - its a catch-22 situation for kamal and his ardent admirers/fans as well! but since he has captured the 'imagination' of the 'hordes of ordinary movie goers', I think for MY, kamal wud increase the dosage of the serious kamal movie-ism that we are used to and are anticipating!

I wud call this acclimatisation of the junta's perception to Kamal's serious ventures to make his serious ventures profitable as well

howsoever one might be talented, it takes lot of getting used to playing on a fast, bouncy Perth wicket facing the likes of Steyn, Morkel, Lee et al - with DASA Kamal got his audiences batting on a Kanpur-type wicket (350plus/50overs), now MY wud be like Nagpur-type wicket with little bit of grass on it (even that was too much for our real cricket team in 2004 against the Aussies! tats a different story though) and watching MARUDH wud be like batting on a perfect Perth-like wicket or a minefield like Port-of-Spain (remember 1997 windies-India test match, india getting all out within 100 chasing 120 plus ?) or a two-paced wicket like the one at Headingley!!

PR, even by going on ur definition, he has given n number of classics, already and maybe why not u try to catch hold of the superb movies like marocharithra, kokila and malayalam movies he had already done...and doing a movie like hayraam or so, dont u feel its like a repeat. then ppl will say hey raam \ mahanathi maathiriyaana oru padam, meendum kamal thanthirukkaar. vera yethavathu different aa pannalaam ect..

and i dont know why some ppl dictate what kamal shud give, doesnt kamal has artistic freedom?? after 200+ movies has he not the freedom to chose his storyline. En avar dasa vai vida romba commercial padam thaan pannattume, athil enna thappu???

ok, simply, saying that i am NOT a fan of mahanathi or heyraam, and when he gave such movies, i never complained why kamal does these kinda films and why not an aboorva sago or a sakalakalaavallavan. now if he gives commercial hits, why not the so called classics ppl keep quiet.

above all, its a fact that dasa had abunch of stuff to be classiified as a class movie. entha methaaviyum ithai marukka mudyaathu. and iam sure marmayogi too has such. surely his masala is not sivakaasi\pokkiri type. so no worries.

Very interesting perspectives, Bala/PR/irir123.

My leap of faith when it comes to Raajkamal Films makes me believe that it'd be much better than Dasavathaaram. Of course, I've to wait and watch, like everyone else. But, the people who're involved in this film inspire much greater faith in it. For all we know, this talk from Kamal could be just PR work for the film even before it has gone on the floors.

Look at it this way - From your point of view,
best case - a quality film unlike Dasa
worst case - a successful film like Dasa which means Marudh will definitely follow. win-win chichuashann! Razz

eppadiyO, semmaiyAna padangaL vandhA, sari, Bala! Jokes aside, I sincerely believe there is no such dichotomy, at first place. At the outset, let me underline that I'm not trying to be politically correct in refusing to judge (or rather, pre-judge) the aesthetics of a film on the basis of whether it is populist or not. It really doesn't make all that much sense to me that a "big-budget entertainer" or "a feast for all sections of the audience" will irredeemably limit the artistic ambition of a film. Beyond just a theoretical standpoint, many films that we like are not without "commercial elements." We love many films for the very tropes/motifs that are labelled as "feast for the whole family" or "wholesome entertainment." So, yes, with greater control over how the film is conceived and made in line with that vision, I believe Marmayogi would turn out to be a much superior film. I'm well aware that all this is just speculation, but this is what I expect.

கலைத் தாகத்தோடு திரையுலகை வலம் வந்து கொண்டிருக்கும் கமல்ஹாசன், தசாவதாரத்தை முடித்த கையோடு மர்மயோகிக்குப் போய் விட்டார். அது தொடர்பான பூர்வாங்கப் பணிகளில் மும்முரமாக இருக்கும் கமல்ஹாசன், தனது மர்மயோகி எப்படிப்பட்ட படம் என்பதை விளக்கியுள்ளார்.

இது மிகப் பிரமாண்டமான படமாக இருக்கும். முற்றிலும் வரலாற்று கதை. தசாவதாரத்தை விட இந்தப் படத்தில் இசை முக்கியத்துவம் உடையதாக இருக்கும்.

7வது நூற்றாண்டில் நடந்த சில சுவாரஸ்யமான சம்பவங்கள்தான் கதையின் கரு.

இது வரலாறும், அறிவியலும் கைகோர்க்கும் படமாக இருக்காது. முற்றிலும் வித்தியாசமான முயற்சி. ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானின் இசை சேவைக்கு நிறைய வாய்ப்புகள் உள்ளது. அவரது விருப்பத்திற்கேற்ப இதில் இசையமைக்கும் வாய்ப்புகளும் அதிகம் உள்ளது.

ஆரம்பத்தில் பட்ஜெட் ரூ. 100 கோடியாக இருக்கும் என மதிப்பிடப்பட்டது. இப்போது அதையும் தாண்டிப் போய் விட்டது. இந்திய திரையுலக வரலாற்றில் இது புதிய சாதனை படைக்கும். ஆகஸ்ட் மாதம் பிரமாண்டமான முறையில் படப்பிடிப்பு தொடங்குகிறது.

மர்மயோகி குறித்து மீடியாக்களில் நிறைய செய்திகள் வருகின்றன. அவை அனைத்தையும் நான் மறுக்க மாட்டேன், மீடியா நண்பர்களை ஏமாற்ற மாட்டேன்.

மீடியாக்களில், மும்பையில் பிரமாண்டமான முறையில் தொடக்க விழா இருக்கும் என செய்திகள் வெளியாகியுள்ளது. உண்மையில் முதலில் அப்படி ஒரு திட்டமே என்னிடம் இல்லை. ஆனால் இப்போது மீடியாக்களில் வந்துள்ளதைப் போலவே, பாலிவுட் நட்சத்திரங்களுக்கு மத்தியில் பிரமாண்டமான முறையில் மர்மயோகியின் தொடக்க விழா இருக்கும்.

From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Sat Jul 19 9:16:58 2008.

on general note, i wud like to say somethings, my few cents...

every fan has right to expect something specific or generic, from his fav artist. i really wud get excited if illayaraja tries pure "metal rock" or if kamal tries an jamesbond or so. there are fans who dislike illayaraja coming too much out of what he has already done - i mean, the typical illayaraja pattern.

back to dasa, well fans has their right but that right also has a limit! after all its kamal's career. and he tries to achive his goals like maruthanaayagam and wud try to do what helps him in acheiving that. he may do whatever he wants. so maybe the theevira fans has to stop at some point, or goback to the already esablished classics. when kamal had done 200 movies he wud only like to do a brand new 201th movie, but its funny to ask or expect kamal to do again his 198th classic or 165th comical classic, or so. even partially. if that 198 or 165 satisfies, then why repeat it??

also, fans cant say that they have more right to expect as they dish out money. well its 2008 and there are previews and reviews which tells what a movie has. in all rights, the fan can either skip that movie, or better skip talking about monetary part like tickets ect

note: not all, but only matured fans like PR can correct their personal views, IF AND ONLY IF, there is any err. iam a very humble and not-much-intellectual fan of kamal. iam too average..

From: equanimus on Sat Jul 19 10:40:30 2008.

Yes, PR. We just have wait and see. I'll also say this, I'm not worried about the time spent on a film. The sceptic that I'm, I'm not bought into the notion of filmmaker making the best use of his time, and keep delivering good films on a frequent basis. The occasional great film is enough to thrill me and keep me ticking over. There is still a lot of time, isn't it? Perhaps, this is the optimist in me! And, like I already said, with Kamal weilding the megaphone, I believe there will be much greater artistic control over the way the film is made.

sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar,
Since I too mentioned Raajkamal Films when talking about my "leap of faith," let me bite this. It's not that Raajkamal Films production has always made good/great films, and films from other production houses have always been bad. Just an overall personal observation on the sort of films. That's all.
Mahanadhi is definitely a glorious exception to this, and Anbe Sivam is also a strong anomaly. Raajkamal Films was involved with Guna, just that they were not directly producing it. As for Nayagan, from an auteurist perspective, it's hardly a Kamal film at first place. (I'm aware that it was originally supposed to be produced by someone else, but what we saw was by and large a proper Mani Ratnam film.)

On a different note, don't you think it's possible to not like a film without getting labelled as an "aRivu jIvi"?

Hi Guys, I rarely take part in actors pages but as I read about Kamal´s new venture Marma yogi happening around 7th century A.D. I was interested. Is there any hint what sort of historical role Kamal is taking. Upto my knowledge in S. India Narasimha pallavar in Pallava kingdom or seerninra Nedumaaran in Pandya kingdom were the famous ones. Or somewthing from North like Harsha or Vikramaditya of chalukya

ennatha solla! Not Worthy

Look at it this way - From your point of view,
best case - a quality film unlike Dasa
worst case - a successful film like Dasa which means Marudh will definitely follow. win-win chichuashann! Razz

Just some general observations:

1. Just as 80% of hubbers who have the right to heap praises on Dasa, the 20% who think otherwise, also should enjoy the same right. And just as the 20% dont call the 80% names for praising Dasa, I hope that the 80% will not attempt to bully the minority who have different opinions.

2. One must be a fan of "A" becos he disses one of "B's" movies is the most childish of arguments. There are some people who just don't care about B, C, D; for them movie watching is an experience where the medium is bigger than the people behind it.

otherwise, ssimpply aansswer my kostins
Dasa went dangerously close to Kamal becoming "just another" actor, very much like his contempories.
NOV, can u elaborate pls

This is certainly NOT the Kamal I and many others want to see.
tell us what type of kamal u need to see, or atleast tell whats wrong with the kamal you saw in dasa

Marma Yogi is our last hope.

From: selvakumar on Sun Jul 20 3:00:05 2008.

on general note, i wud like to say somethings, my few cents...

every fan has right to expect something specific or generic, from his fav artist. i really wud get excited if illayaraja tries pure "metal rock" or if kamal tries an jamesbond or so. there are fans who dislike illayaraja coming too much out of what he has already done - i mean, the typical illayaraja pattern.

You put it well Sakala. I wouldn't have liked 10A this much had Kamal come up with the old fashion of acting and a screenplay that unfolds like a drama. That kind of acting has its own share of brilliance attached. But Kamal must be 'Different'. Let is be Kamal's way of doing the things. Among the characters, few are not praising Vincent Boovaragan. Balram naidu, Feltcher, Boovaragan, Narahishi etc - Ippadi ella characters layum mask oru supporting aid thaanae. Body language different ah kaatlaya? Had it been one or two roles, Kamal would have come up with another Avvai Shanmughi within these two years. Here it is ten characters. Every one find some character likable. I felt Kamal did an awesome job in the Japanese fighter role and I loved it more than Balram Naidu. Just like that, he had satisfied everyone with a set of characters. I don't think anyone else could have done that. Moreover, he had achieved it through a commercial screenplay. Before the film release, most of them made fun of it predicting it to go like another Aalavanthaan. He had answered them brilliantly through the same Manorama. It is all 'm---kittu irungada' thing now. Ithukku mela enna venum ? Kamal had achieved what he wanted through Dasa. For the time being, enjoy the accolades that the receives from the general audience without worrying about the online world. There is an entirely different world outside the net.

Most of the kamal fans who wanted a breakthrough might be cherishing this moment. Enjoy the occasion.

Bang on

as an marketing guy put it up, kamal has 10 oppurtunities to click witht he audience, of course there is 11th one too. see there is only 10 planets and one 11th planet, sun which in a way control all the 10 with its hibright screenplay\story\dialogs. well thats what dasa universe is comprised of, where he is a hero

if u dislike this, u may find good movies in some other galaxy

From: P_R on Sun Jul 20 22:09:27 2008.

SKV, I see your point. I thought in my elaborate post I had pre-empted all dissings possible by acknowledging why Dasa as both successful and well-crafted. And it is beyond question that no-one else could have made that film.

You mention in the first line in your post about each one's expectations. With Kamal it is not film-by-film expectations, one has come to expect something of his filmography. Heck I remember blasphemously declaring that even if Kamal quits acting to dedicate himself to writing-direction, that would be acceptable. (ennamO naan nenechA nadakkuraa maadhiri.....appidi kooda nenechEn-nu solla varEn). Which is why another two year wait for a "grand entertainer" hit me with disappointment.

One the face of it why should I expect a "grand entertainer" to be aesthetically unsatisfying. Well not at all. It is only the question of whether such a film would be promoted as "grand entertainer". Perhaps I am just reading too much into a passing comment, once again, blame the expectations.

I was reading to hard into Avtar Singh's dialogue
"paattu en thozhil dhaan...en uyir illaii" as a hint of an artist's dilemma: using the superior talents as a craftsman vs. making introspective,soul-stirrers that can't be easily labelled 'entertainer'.

konjam over aayiduchu - Naidu rescued. Watched again last evening and my friend and I were laughing during the whole drive back to town from Mayajaal, about the funny no-liners like "Fletcher jeep spotted-A" ?

But, as equanimus rightly put it, with Kamal directing the movie I shouldn't worry too much.

I disagree. In fact I'll go one step further and say that some roles would have been done better by others (not necessarily leading stars.)

Could be. There are certain things which specific people are better in.

Paati character kku oru nija 95 years paatti nadikka vachaa innum poruthamaathaan irunthirukkum. No one denies that.

Japanaese char, oru japanese panni irunthaa itha vida nallaa thaan irunthirukkum.

etc, etc, etc....

But the point is there cannot be any other Indian actor donning all the Characters Kamal did in this movie by himself. That is the key.

10 characters, 10 different body language and 10 different voice modulations. Everything has its unique style. Only Kamal Possible. Period

More over that, most parts of the film, minimum 2 kamals in the screen. Leave about the acting part, you cannot see even a single actor now spending around 8 hours just for make up, that too for more than a year.

friends, amidst all the amount of discussions/debates going on abt the quality of DASA, how it should have been, how it has not been etc etc., the one singularly emphatic factor that stands out is the stupendous BO performance of DASA!! and that too in less than 4 weeks of its running!

now for something, that might read like digression:

In the film industry, both Kamal and Ilaiyaraaja are victims of grand expectations that they both have created either wittingly or unwittingly from their previous works - between the two, at least Kamal is a bit lucky in the sense that fans like me can accept when he gives something like DASA (which by his standards, is a bit below par) only because, of the success wave its riding and for the amount of work Kamal has put in for his previous works and never got the public acceptance that he so richly deserved!

But with IR, fans like me are more stingy/miserly when it comes to relaxing our expectations - the reason: IR is too refined an artist to churn out trash which anyways is not being accepted in public though I would personally be happy if some of his lesser works of recent years gain public acceptance - but post TiS, IR better give something extraordinary (even TiS, by IR standards, of course, was a mixed bag, but thats a different story altogether)- this can happen, only if IR comes out of the film industry, but the problem IMO is IR cannot get out of the film-rut all that easily - reason being marketability/saleability of his non-filmy products - personally I wudnt want to see a masterpiece of work from him go with poor or no reviews - GURU(malayalam) for instance, is an album that few people outside the internet world know about! thats not what IR deserves now

maybe post-MY, Kamal and IR wud do a film together and create magic (as they have always done)

When questioned about the mixed responses for his recently released Dasavatharam, the actor says, "Yes, I did some mistakes in Dasavatharam. I never tried to hide those mistakes. But it happens to any creator in such mega projects and the same was happened with me too. That's all. In fact those mistakes help to correct me in my next project."

“Mistakes in Dasavatharam will not be repeated in Marmayogi”

He also acknowledged that there were some mistakes in Dasavatharam, but it would not be repeated in Marmayogi. Tipped to be a period film, Marmayogi’s shooting will commence from August onwards in various locations around the world. According to the sources close Kamal Haasan, the actor is working hard to attract a large audience for Marmayogi. He also has plans to make the storyline as simple as possible.

'Marmayogi' goes to Sweden
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, July 22, 2008]

Kollywood is abuzz with rumors that Kamal Haasan would commence shooting for his next film 'Marmayogi' in exotic locales in Sweden.

According to reports, the movie is set in the sixth century BC and so has taken precise care in fixing up appropriate locations. A few locations in Sweden appear to be on the mind of Kamal Haasan.

Touted to be a big-budget film, 'Marmayogi' features Hemamalini in a prominent role and efforts are on to cast Amitabh Bachchan in it. The crew would land in Sweden later next month to start shooting.

With 'Dasavatharam' proving to be a major hit for Kamal Haasan, he is all geared up to sustain the good run in the industry.

Directed and enacted by Kamal Haasan, the movie has musical score by A R Rahman.

Kamal Hassan speaks

Actor Kamal Hassan says that his next mega venture Marmayogi is purely a historical subject, which has more scope for music than Dasavatharam. According to the actor, the story of Marmayogi is based on some interesting incidents happened in 7 century.

"There is no History Science mixture in Marmayogi. It is totally a different attempt and it has lot of scope for music, which helps Rehman to play as he like. The initial budget of the film has already crossed Rs.100 crores and I hope it would touch a new high in the history of Indian Cinema. The film will go to floor in August in a grand manner. I don't like to disappoint my media friends by refusing or denying any of their reports on this project."

"As they suggested in their reports, I will launch the movie in Mumbai amidst my Bollywood friends. Why I'm saying like this is, before I read those reports, I didn't have any such idea. Now, I planned to do as they reported!" Kamal says with his typical smile.

When questioned about the mixed responses for his recently released Dasavatharam, the actor says, "Yes, I did some mistakes in Dasavatharam. I never tried to hide those mistakes. But it happens to any creator in such mega projects and the same was happened with me too. That's all. In fact those mistakes help to correct me in my next project."

Kamal in a recent interview to a leading national daily, had said that Marmayogi would also be made in such a way that people from all walks of life would find it easy to understand. He also acknowledged that there were some mistakes in Dasavatharam, but it would not be repeated in Marmayogi.

Another Dream of Kamal Haasan
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, July 24, 2008]

'Marmayogi' one more ambitious dream of Kamal Haasan is said to be launched with a classic and high-profile opening in Mumbai in August.

With an estimated budget of over INR one billion, this celluloid dream is based on evidences from history with a story framed in the setting of 7th Century AD. AR Rehman started to work on the tunes to match the contemporary ambience and theme.

According to the sources Kamal is hopeful that this new venture will be a mile mark in his career. He adds that Dasavataram though had little mishaps in accuracy; the experience will help him to eliminate such chances in this new project. He thanked every one for their fair critics.

Padmapriya is currently shooting the Cheran starrer Pokkisham and is likely to be available for Marmayogi shoots after that. Marmayogi's script and casting are being finalized and an official announcement regarding Padmapriya's inclusion is expected anytime soon.

Kamalhassan has cancelled the lavish launch planned for his next film, Marmayogi, and decided to proceed directly with the shooting. The first schedule of filming will be a war sequence in a forest region of Switzerland. According to reports, Kajol and Hema Malini will head the female cast. The film will feature music by AR Rahman.

What's the connection between Anbe Sivam and Kamal doing village subject that too with Abhirami

Quote:

Padmapriya, while she may be better than most of the heroines we have in Kollywood, market nu pAkkumbOdhu bayama irukku. Moreover, Indhi la edupaduvAngaLA?!!

Market pArthA - Abhirami was in a worst situation at the time she was booked for viru. V Sekar type padathula nadichuttu irunthAnga. Padhmapriya at least has done some decent stuff comparatively.

Further, Indhi people have a better taste than our thamizhars. They have accepted and still hold 'non conventional' type actresses like Shabna Asmi, Nandtha Das, Thabu et al high. 25 vayasukku appuRam akka role - kalyAnam aana amma role - ippadi oru varaiyyaraikkuLLE iruppathu nam makkaLthAn. Majority of the thamizh fans are more keen about the 'skin show' by the heroines than the performance

That's the reason why we dont get women oriented movies in Thamizh.

IMO, Shaam is a decent performer and something can be extracted from him (IyaRkai example). Not that I am expecting Shaam to act in MY but he could be a much better choice than Sidharth.

From: P_R on Sun Jul 27 12:24:29 2008.

If Iyarkai is supposed to be Shaam's best I think I one can safely conclude that Siddharth is the better actor of the two...by a few miles.

Not sure why Sidharth dropped the role in MY! It would have been a great opportunity for him to share frames with the great actor!

However, between Shaam & Sidharth, I think Sidharth is a better actor. I have seem him to be more lively and expressive in protraying his character! IMO, he did just fine in both Boys & AE!

கமலுக்கும் நாயகி நயனதாரா?

மேலும் புதிய படங்கள்மர்மயோகியில் தனக்கு ஜோடியாக நடிக்க காஜோலிடம் தேதிகள் கேட்டிருந்த கமல், இப்போது அந்த எண்ணத்தை அப்படியே கிடப்பில் போட்டுவிட்டு, நயனிடம் தேதிகள் கேட்டுள்ளாராம்.

மர்மயோகியில் நடிக்கப்போவதாக மூன்று நடிகைகளின் பெயர்கள் அடிபடுகின்றன. காஜோல், ராணி முகர்ஜி மற்றும் பத்மப்ரியாதான் அந்த மூவரும். இவர்களில் முதல் இருவரும் இந்தப் படத்தில் நடிப்பது குறித்து இதுவரை எதுவும் பேசவில்லை. ஆனால் பத்மப்ரியா மட்டும், இந்தப் படத்தில் நடிக்கப் போவதாகவும், கமல்ஹாசனே போனில் தன்னிடம் பேசியதாகவும் கூறி வருகிறார்.

இந்நிலையில், இன்றைக்கு தென்மாநில மொழிப் படங்களில் பரபரப்பாகப் பேசப்படும் நாயகியான நயன்தாராவிடம் மர்மயோகி படத்தில் நடிக்க தேதிகள் ஒதுக்குமாறு உலகநாயகன் கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருப்பதாக நம்பத் தகுந்த தகவல்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.

இப்போது அஜீத், விக்ரம், கார்த்தி, தனுஷ்... என பெரிய ஹீரோக்களின் படங்களில் பிஸியாக இருக்கும் நயன்தாரா, இன்னமும் தன் பதிலைச் சொல்லவில்லையாம். எனினும் ஏகன் படப்பிடிப்பு முடிந்துவிட்டதால், கமலுக்கு தேதிகள் ஒதுக்குவதில் அவருக்கு சிரம்மிருக்காது என மர்மயோகி வட்டாரம் தெரிவிக்கிறது.

ரஜினியுடன் இதுவரை 3 படங்களில் நடித்துவிட்ட நயன்தாரா, கமல்ஹாசனுடன் இன்னும் ஒரு படத்தில் கூட நடிக்கவில்லை. அந்தக் குறை இந்தப் படத்தில் தீர்ந்துவிடும் எனப் புல்லரிக்கிறார்கள் கமல் ரசிகர்கள்.

அப்ப, நயன் இனி உலக நாயகி?!

Kajol Put The Strict Conditions For Kamal Hassan’s Marmayogi
July 31, 2008

Kamal Haasan has approached Kajol for his movie Mumbai Express but she turned it down. Now he has approached her again for his up coming movie Marmayogi. Kajol has agreed to act but she has laid down some conditions before him. That includes, she would not come outside of India and that she would be allowed to go home daily.

Kajol is very strict with her conditions because she has to take care of her daughter. On the other end Kamal is in a dilemma where to choose Kajol because the movie was going to be shot in Switzerland. We are very proud of you Kajol for putting family before money.

"மர்மயோகி விலகும் மர்மங்கள்'-குங்குமம்

இதுவரை வெளியான அனைத்துப் படங்களின் உலக வசூலை முறியடித்து ஒடிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் "தசாவதாரம்", தமிழ் சினிமாவைத் தயாரிப்புரீதியாகவும், படைப்புத்திறன் சார்ந்தும் அடுத்த கட்டத்தை நோக்கி நகர்த்தியிருக்கிறது. இதன்மூலம் உலக மொழிப் படங்களில் நடிக்காவிட்டாலும் "உலக நாயகன்" என்று தன் ரசிகர்களால் அன்புடன் அழைக்கப்படும் கமலுக்கு அந்தப் பட்டம் பொருந்திப் போய் விடுகிறது.

"தசாவதாரம்" படத்தில் கமலின் பெரு முயற்சியால் படைப்பாளிக்கும், தயாரிப்பாளருக்கும் எப்போதுமிருக்கும் பட்ஜெட் முரண் பெருமளவு குறைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. அதன் பலனையும் அறுவடை செய்ய கமலுக்கே வாய்ப்புக் கிடைத்திருக்கிறது, "மர்மயோகி" படத்தின் மூலம். இதுவரை எந்தத் தமிழ்ப் படத்துக்கும் இல்லாதவாறு மர்மயோகியின் பட்ஜெட் 150 கோடி என்று கணக்கிடப்பட்டிருப்பது தமிழை விரித்து, உலகைச் சுருக்கும் முயற்சியாகவே இருக்கிறது.

இன்னும் "மர்மயோகி" யின் தயாரிப்பும், படப்பிடிப்பும் முழுமையாக டிசைன் செய்யப்படாத நிலையில் அங்கே என்னதான் நடக்கிறது என்ற ரசிகக்கவலையில் கொஞ்சம் விசாரித்தபோது கிடைத்த தகவல்கள் வியப்பானவை. அவை "மர்மயோகி"யின் மர்மத் திரையைக் கொஞ்சம் விலக்கிவைக்கவும் செய்பவை.

"மர்மயோகி" யைத் தயாரிக்க பிரமிட் சாய்மீராவுடன் ராஜ்கமலும் கைகோர்ப்பது ஒருபுறமிருக்க, படத்தின் அசாத்திய பட்ஜெட்டுக்குத் தோள்கொடுக்க ஹாலிவுட்டின் 'வால்ட்டிஸ்னி'யும் தமிழுக்குள் வரவிருக்கிறது.

கமலே இயக்கவிருப்பதால், படைப்பு சார்ந்தும் படத்தை ஹாலிவுட் படங்களின் நேர்த்திக்கு உருவாக்கும் முயற்சியிலிருக்கிறார் அவர். நவீன தொழில்நுட்பத்துடன் படம் தயாராவதால் லேட்டஸ்ட் வசதிகள் கொண்ட "ரெட்" என்ற ஹைடெமினிஷன் கேமராவை இந்தப்படத்தில் கமல் பயன்படுத்தவிருக்கிறார். "4கே ரெசொல்யூஷன்" திறன் கொண்ட அதன் ஒருநாள் வாடகை 30 ஆயிரம் ரூபாய் என்றிருக்க அந்தக் கேமராவை இந்தப்படத்துக்காக சொந்தமாக விலைகொடுத்தே வாங்கிவிட்டாராம் கமல். அதன் விலை 45 லட்சம்.

சரி....... கதை?

ஏழாம் நூற்றாண்டில் நடப்பதாகச் சொல்லப்படும் "மர்மயோகி"யின் கதையில் அந்த நூற்றாண்டில் வாழ்ந்த ஒரு அரசவம்சததை வேரறுக்க நினைக்கும் இன்னொரு வம்ச அரசியாக ஹேமாமாலினி வருகிறார். அதாவது கதையின் வில்லி அவர்தான்.

அவரால் அழிக்கப்படும் வம்சத்தில் எஞ்சியிருக்கும் ஐந்து வயது வாரிசை மீண்டும் அரியணை ஏறவைக்க அந்த ராஜ்ஜியத்தின் தளபதி போராடும் கதையைத்தான் மர்மயோகியில் சொல்லப்போகிறாராம் கமல். தளபதி வேறு யாருமில்லை. கமலேதான்...! அதற்காக கருகருவென்று தாடி வளர்த்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார் அவர்.

மெல்கிப்ஸனின் 'கிளேடியேட்டர்', 'பிரேவ்ஹார்ட்' படங்களையொத்த உருவாக்கம் இருக்குமாம். கமல் தன்னுடன் நடிக்க பத்மபிரியாவைக் கேட்டிருக்கிறார். 'கமலுடன் நடிக்கக் கூலி' என்றால் கசக்குமா என்ன? ஒத்துக்கொண்டு அக்ரிமென்டில் கையெழுத்திட ஆர்வமாகக் காத்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார் பத்மபிரியா.

படப்பிடிப்பு இந்தியாவில் ராஜஸ்தானிலும், பெரும்பகுதி ஸ்விட்சர்லாந்திலும் எடுக்கப்படவிருக்கிறது. படப்பிடிப்பு இடைஞ்சல்லில்லாமல் நடைபெறுவதற்காகவும், ரம்மியமான ஒளிப்பதிவுக்காகவும் ஸ்விட்சர்லாநதைத் தேர்ந்தெடுத்திருக்கிறாராம் கமல். ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் இசையில் பாடல்கள் உருவாகின்றன.

"மர்மயோகி" யின் தொடக்க விழாவில் கலந்துகொள்ளும் பாக்கியம்தான் தமிழ்ப் பத்திரிக்கையாளர்களுக்கு இருக்குமோ இருக்காதோ தெரியவில்லை. ஆமாம்... படம் தொடங்கப் போவது மும்பையில். அந்த மர்மத்தையும் விரைவில் கமல் விலக்கினால் நலம்.

This is from one of the Orkut Sagas. Not sure if he got the right information:

"KAMALJI is now in MUMBAI. HE called RAAJ KAMAL office & told that , HE signed PRIYANKA CHOPRA & BIPASHA BASU for the HINDI version of 'MARMAYOGI". My friend told this info to me. He has some links in NARPANI IYAKKAM people. "

I sincerely hope this news is true:

அவதார நடிகர் எடுக்கவிருக்கும் 'மர்ம' படத்தில் நடிப்பதாக இருந்த 'பத்து' நடிகை, அந்த செய்தியில் உண்மையில்லை என்கிறார். நடிகையை அழைத்து பேசியது வரை உண்மை. அதை தொடர்ந்து நடந்த சம்பள பேச்சுவார்த்தையில் உடன்பாடு ஏற்படாமல் போனதால்தான் இந்த பதிலாம்!
