He also thanked the organizers, for creating an awareness and making the youth realize the need for a greener surrounding Kamal spoke very well on one of his pet themes, to make our environment greener. He wanted people to realize the need for a greener surrounding .Kamal feels to become a green reality, systematic planning, design, installation and operation is required

  Kamal Haasan's daughter Sruthi Haasan is all geared up top come out with music albums. Her father has been constructing a state-of-the-art recording studio for her daughter in Chennai. The studio will be utilized by Sruthi Haasan to pursue her career in music. Having learnt both Western and Carnatic music, Sruthi Haasan is keen on turning a music composer, though she has been getting a lot of offers to act. She has even sung a song in Dasavatharam, set to tunes by Himesh Reshmaiyya. Search is on to find a suitable name for the recording studio.

  Behind that humorous veneer
  
  
  It turns out to be a very different kind of experience. Innumerable interviews and interactions notwithstanding, the tête-À-tête with the veteran is something I hadn’t bargained for. “My name is actually Gundappa,” Na gesh introduces himself as I smile at the irony. The erstwhile lean and lanky comedian nonpareil is now a septuagenarian, and though not exactly in the pink of health his sense of humour is intact.
  
  It has taken six solid years of coaxing and cajoling to pin the man down for a meet. Surprisingly this time the call came from him one evening. “I hear you want to meet me. You are most welcome,” he said between bouts of cough. But soon another tinkle tells me that he’s too unwell to talk! Thankfully he recovers. “When I learn some one is eager to meet me I oblige,” he smiles as I enter. “Excuse me! It has taken six years,” I begin. But Nagesh is in no mood for comments or queries as he takes you on a stroll down his memory lane. He talks in riddles but the underlying poignancy and profundity reveal a stoic who has learnt to take ups and downs in his stride.
  Incredible record
  
  “I keep away from the media glare for very concrete reasons. When people praise me on a podium, I appreciate genuine words. Otherwise it only angers me. Secondly, I shy away when the media wishes to discuss my private life. That apart, I sincerely feel I’m no great achiever. I’ve nothing to impart,” says this character actor whose sense of timing in dialogue delivery, funny or serious, still remains a benchmark. He’s arguably the only actor who has had 58 releases in 52 weeks (one year)! How did he manage the feat? “But no one asked me for an interview then, why now?” is the repartee. “Anyway, I was running with Time and in turn it favoured me. The words of that man at the end of the street in a Darapuram lane who dismissed me and my folks as useless goaded me on,” he goes on.
  
  The man who remembers an insult even after five decades or more should also be harbouring the other slights he has encountered. Does he forget and make up? “Yes. When I like the person despite what he’s done to me. But I never forget. My mother would tell me: ‘If another person’s words anger you it only means that he has won. Never allow others to win over you.’ Can you find greater words in any literary work?” he recalls with pride.
  
  Photographer Ragu is in a tearing hurry for his next assignment and so we decide to finish the shoot. “You keep talking Sir and I’ll click on,” he says. That’s how it’s generally done. But even as Ragu gets his lens ready Nagesh comes out with myriad expressions that change every second! It’s not for nothing that stalwarts such as Kamal Hassan are his ardent admirers. He looks at you and cheekily says: “If you ask me questions such as what my first film was my reply will be, ‘The one that was released before my second.’” I get the message and let him do the talking completely.
  
  “I learnt to derive inspiration from my aspirations. And I used my disappointments as stepping stones to victory,” he says. Nagesh has gone through a lot in life. “I’ve won over sadness and anger [He can just clam up for days on end.] in the same way as I won over hunger,” he reminisces. He worked in several places before he discovered acting was his forte.
  
  “I worked in the pickles department of a firm. I could take it only for a few days. ‘My grandma makes better pickles. I don’t want to sell yours,’ I said and walked out.”
  
  From pulling the punkah (fan) at an office (“Do you like the job?” the boss asked him. “Never mind whether I like it or not, you like my work, don’t you,” he shot back!) to the Railways, he tried his hands at several jobs. “I knew nothing about acting, but when it came my way I held on to it. I’ve no guru. I took various paths and came here and I had to succeed,” he states.
  
  Does acting give him joy? “Not always,” he ponders. Then why continue? “Because I know nothing else. I don’t wish to idle away my time within the four walls of my room and I like to meet people and be in surroundings I’m familiar with,” he says.
  
  Only Kamal
  
  Who does he rate as the best actor? He raises his finger solemnly and exclaims, “There’s only one artiste in the whole Universe (!). It’s Kamal Hassan. Without him there’s no cinema. Have you watched ‘Anbe Sivam’?” Nagesh will next be seen in ‘Dasavatharam’ with Kamal. The admiration is mutual. Kamal never misses a chance to use Nagesh in his projects. “Another person whom I salute for his boldness is Cho,” he adds.
  
  As the exchange draws to a close he says: “Life works on three premises — I don’t like something that you like, so you don’t like me. You don’t like something but I like it. Hence you don’t like me. You like something, which I also like a lot and there again you don’t like me. So anyway, there’ll always be people who dislike you. You just have to make your choices and move on.”
  
  I’m still figuring out that Parthian shot!

  நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் பேசியதாவது:-
  
  ``சஞ்சய்தத் என் நண்பர். நானும், அவரும் கைகுலுக்கி பேசியிருக்கிறோம். அவரைப்பற்றி நான் பேசியிருக்க வேண்டும். சஞ்சய்தத்தை வைத்து பந்தயம்
  கட்டுகிறார்கள் என்று ஒரு தந்தையின் இடத்தில் இருந்து வருத்தப்பட்டார், கே.பாலசந்தர். இவர், ஒரு வித்தக கலைஞர். நானும், ரஜினியும் இவர் கண்டுபிடிப்புகள். இவருடைய கண்டுபிடிப்புகள் என்றுமே சோடைபோனதில்லை.
  
  என்னையும், ரஜினியையும் அருகருகே வைத்துக்கொண்டு, ``உங்கள் இருவரையும் பார்த்தால் எனக்கு ஆச்சரியமாக இருக்கிறது. தொழிலில் போட்டியும் போடுகிறீர்கள்; ஒற்றுமையாகவும் இருக்கிறீர்கள்'' என்று ஏவி.எம்.சரவணன் சொன்னார்.
  
  பொறாமை கிடையாது
  
  எனக்கும், ரஜினிக்கும் தொழிலில் போட்டி உண்டு. ஆனால் எங்களுக்குள் பொறாமை கிடையாது. நாங்கள் வளர்ந்தவிதம் அப்படி. ஆனால், ஒரு படம் ரிலீஸ் ஆகும்போது, சினிமாவில் இருப்பவர்களே ``இந்த படம் தேறாது... இது ஓடாது'' என்று பேசுவதை நான் கேட்டு இருக்கிறேன்.
  
  எல்லா படமும் ஓட வேண்டும். எல்லா படமும் ஓடினால், சினிமாவுக்கு நல்லது. சில படங்கள் ஓடினால், நாட்டுக்கே நல்லது.
  
  இங்கே இளையராஜா பேசும்போது, எஸ்.ஐ.ஈ.டி. காலேஜ் பக்கம் போகாதது பற்றி பேசினார். பாரதிராஜா, இளையராஜாவுடன் நான் லேட்டாக வந்து ஒட்டிக்கொண்ட சகோதரன். உறவு வேறு. நட்பு வேறு. நானும், பாரதிராஜாவும் 4 படங்களில் பணிபுரிந்த உறவு உண்டு. மணிரத்னத்துடன் ஒரே ஒரு படத்தில்தான் பணிபுரிந்து இருக்கிறேன். பாலசந்தருடன் 36 படங்களில் பணிபுரிந்து இருக்கிறேன். ஆனாலும் நானும், அவரும் பேசியதை மூன்று பக்கங்களில் எழுதி விடலாம்.
  
  நான் ஒரு பேட்டியில், பாலசந்தர் படங்களில் நடிப்பது எனக்கு வீட்டு சாப்பாடு மாதிரி என்று கூறியிருந்தேன். அப்படியானால், நான் ஓட்டலா? என்று பாரதிராஜா என்னிடம் கேட்டார். அப்படி எங்களுக்குள் ஒரு உறவும், உரிமையும் உண்டு.
  
  பாரதிராஜாவுக்கு, அவருடைய பழைய படங்கள் எல்லாம் விலாசம்தான். புதிய படங்கள்தான் தகுதி.''
  
  மேற்கண்டவாறு கமலஹாசன் பேசினார்.

  In one of his interviews, Kamal mentioned that some of his experimental movies are a hit, while some of his commercial movies end up being flops. He cited 'Virumandi' as an example of the former and 'Nala Damayanthi' as an example for the latter.

  this statement of Ji has some flaws. He would say that the Virumaandi had a slight complicated screenplay which terms that film as an experiment, but its not! instead, the naladamayanti's multilingual comedy, which kamal would have thought as a "bringing down the house by laughter" was not like that.
  
  Nala had a good knot and story flow. a person's passport is lost and he dos a marriage of convenience to stay, and an immig.officer suspects and keeps tracking him... but the spoiler was the multi language trick which kamal thought as a great commercial factor.
  
  i mean to say about the madhavan's palakkad accent[similar to MMKR] and the heroine's Srilankan accent. added to the English dialogs of the immig.scenes! this created confusion. heroine is another minus.
  
  with a understandable and acceptable comedy track, [inserting a vivek\vadivel would be great!] and a good heroine would have saved the movie greatly....
  
  the accent comedy had lost its glamour, in kamal movies....start from MMKR to RamaShamaBhama he uses them...

  There is no point in discussing the assumptions made by websites on different things on the movie. First the movie shooting is not yet completed for sure. If completed some one could have given interviews. For a project like this i suppose 2 months of Post production works would take. A long way to go. If at all there should be a reason for delayed release as of now the time taken for shooting. Nothing else.

  Not just Karan, even Nagesh,Srividhya and Gauthami.
  
  The Gauthami-Srividhya scenes and dialogues seemed to show the paw of the lion.
  
  Simple things like the one before the Poonguyil song:
  "oththunga"
  "edhu ippidiyA..oh ! Madras oththA" are vey Kamal.
  
  So it is difficult to say Kamal's creative participation was not there.
  With Nagesh you never which lines are his, and which the writer's:
  
  Gauthami comes to meet Kamal in his room when Kamal and Nagesh are talking. Kamal wants to refuse her an audience because he knows she is full of pity now, which he doesn't want.
  
  Selvam: idhu personalA, officialA
  vasanthI: personal
  Rao: naan varEn...
  Selvam: rao ukkArunga.....personal vishayangaL pEsaradhukku idhu nEramum illai idamum illai......naanum rao-vum official-A pEsikkittirukkOm, so please....

  screenplay by kamal & dialogues by sujatha. Actually it was ghost directed by kamal (as usual). Sethumadhavan had a very bitter experience with that film.

  Did Kamal actually say 'Nammavar'was a waste of time
  
  It is according to me one of his better films.Infact his stamp is there in a lot of places&Karan was damn good.Just check out his interview to 'The Hindu' today where he talks about the film&working with Kamal.
  
  I was very disappointed when it flopped at the BO-wash out,na?
  
  Infact it also won the National award for the Best Tamil film of the year(1994)
  
  BTW,same question as Bala,who is Kanmani Subbu?
  
  dell_gt,
  Sethumadhavan was a renowed malayalam film director.I think before Nammavar he had done some Malayalam films with him the middle/late 70's.

  Kannandasan's son Annadurai Kannadasan, Santhanabarathy and Kamal are old friends. Perhaps he may have known Kanmani Subbu from then.
  
  Pasupathi is a stage artist in Koothu-p-pattarai, whose progress Nasser follows closely, so that may be the connex. Pasupathy I heard was in the Marudhanayagam cast too (which also had Nasser).
  
  Saab John (am nearly sure this is the guy who plays Narasimmam in Kurudhippunal ), apparently also worked in Chachi 420. But I have not seen any other film written by him. After some googling landed on one Malayalam film (Mammootty starrer) which he was credited with writing. But my former room-mate (a Malayalee with decent taste in films) dismissed that as a pretty ordinary film. You know what I'm thinking

  I think saab john has written quite a fewe mallu films.
  
  Sethumadhavan is a renowned director with some of his mallu films winning awards at the natioanl level. kamal's early films with him in malayalam were critically acclaimed & commercially succesful.
  
  That is why he refused to be a 'santhanbharathi" or a "singeetham" in nammavar.

  well, by going thru gangai amaran's profile, from kozhi koovuthu to karagattakaaran, he surely seems to be decently good in village plot stories. maybe,...maybe, i dunno, he could have given a small knot to kamal which kamal developed but the bottomline is, DEVARMAGAN HAS STAMPS OF ORIGINALITY BY HAVING SCENES\CHARECTERS\MESSAGES WHICH IS SPECIFIC TO KAMAL MOVIES

  kamal fans who are music fans too, here is an intersting news on kamal's daughter, her music....
  
  Shruti Haasan needs not much introduction but her music needs...
  
  i read in times of india article where she mentioned that she had uploaded her new album onto her blog. There was no further links in that article, which led me to search for one...
  
  i landed in right space -
  
  http://www.desigirl.net.in/chez_moi/2007/07/new_kid_on_the_block.html
  - http://www.myspace.com/shrutihaasan
  - http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=185263537
  
  but could not locate her album in the my space page. the flash didnt load at all for me....maybe for others it may work and u may get a chance to listen to one of the expected composition from an aspiring musician - shruti
  
  the very 1st link claims to have heard(!!)them and the review is rising expectations......

  Quote:

  New Kid On The Block Shruti Haasan A chance glance at an article posted on the doors of Murugan Idli Shop in Besant Nagar led to my discovery of Shruti Haasan and her awesome music. All I knew of her till that minute was that she was the firstborn of Kamal Haasan and Sarika. Till I logged onto her MySpace website and listened to a couple of her songs. That was a good few hours ago and since then, I have listened to her most of her songs at least a couple of times. What strikes me most about her music is its refreshing quality. Her base in Indian music and her degree in Western have helped create a beautiful amalgam of sound and her dulcet tones are real pleasing to the ears. I really like her songs 'Again' and 'Tamil' - she sounds a bit like LeAnn Rimes in her rawness but overall, in her own words, she sounds like "nothing you've heard before!" Here's wishing this talented youngster success in her musical career and one hopes she does't have to fight to get away from the shadows cast by her parents' illustrious movie careers!

  மறுபடியும் மருதநாயகம்?
  
  
  கமல்ஹாசனின் கனவுப் படமான மருதநாயகம் குறித்த செய்தி மறுபடியும் உயிர் பெற்றுள்ளது. ரிலையன்ஸின் துணை நிறுவனமான ஆட்லாப்ஸ் இந்தப் படத்தைத் தயாரிக்கக் கூடும் என்று பேச்சு அடிபடுகிறது.
  
  
  இந்தியத் திரைப்பட உலகில் தனித்துவம் மிக்க நடிகர்களில், நம்ம ஊரைச் சேர்ந்த ரஜினியையும், கமல்ஹாசனையும் சேர்க்காமல் இருக்க முடியாது.
  
  ரஜினியின் சிவாஜி, இந்திக்காரர்களை ஆட்டம் காண வைத்துள்ளது. இதுவரை சூப்பர் ஸ்டாராக பார்க்கப்பட்டு வந்த அமிதாப்பை ஓரம் கட்டியுள்ளார் ரஜினி.
  
  அதேபோல தெற்கிலிருந்து இந்திக்குப் போய் அங்குள்ள நடிகர்களின் கண்களில் விரலை விட்டு ஆட்டி சாதித்தவர் கமல் மட்டுமே. சாகர் படத்தில் நாயகன் ரிஷி கபூரை தூக்கி சாப்பிடும் வகையில் கமல் நடித்ததை இந்தித் திரையுலகினரால் பொறுத்துக் கொள்ளவே முடியவில்லை என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
  
  தனக்கு சரியான மரியாதை தராத காரணத்தால்தான் இந்தியை கண்டுகொள்ளாமல் விட்டு விட்டார் கமல். இந்த நிலையில் மும்பையைச் சேர்ந்த ஆட்லாப்ஸ் நிறுவனம் கமல்ஹாசனையும், ஹ்ரித்திக் ரோஷனையும் வைத்து புதிய படம் ஒன்றைத் தயாரிக்கவுள்ளது.
  
  இந்தப் படத்துக்காக கமலுக்கு ரூ. 20 கோடி சம்பளம் பேசப்பட்டுள்ளதாம். ஒருவேளை இந்த செய்தி உண்மையாக இருக்குமானால், ஆசியாவிலேயே அதிக சம்பளம் வாங்கும் 2வது நடிகர் என்ற பெருமை கமலுக்குக் கிடைக்கும். முதல் பெருமை ரஜினி, சிவாஜி படத்தில் இவர் வாங்கியதாக கூறப்படும் சம்பளம் ரூ. 25 கோடி!
  
  இந்தப் படம் ஒரு வரலாற்றுக் கதையாம். ரூ. 100 கோடி மதிப்பில் இப்படத்தை உருவாக்கவுள்ளனராம். ஹாலிவுட் படங்களுக்கு நிகராக இந்தப் படம் தரத்துடன் உருவாகப் போகிறதாம்.
  
  இந்த நிலையில் தனது மருதநாயகம் படத்தை தூசு தட்டி எடுக்க முடிவு செய்துள்ளாராம் கமல். அதை ஆட்லாப்ஸ் நிறுவனத்தையே தயாரிக்குமாறும் கேட்டுள்ளாராம். ஆட்லேப்ஸ் நிறுவனமும் சம்மதம் தெரிவிக்கக் கூடும் என்று தெரிகிறது.
  
  மருதநாயகம், கமல்ஹாசனின் கனவுப் படம். சில ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு சென்னையில் இப்படத்தைத் தொடங்கினார் கமல். படத்தின் பூஜைக்கு இங்கிலாந்து ராணி எலிசபெத் வந்திருந்தார். இந்தப் படத்துக்கான நிதியை அமெரிக்காவிலிருந்து திரட்ட தீர்மானித்திருந்தார் கமல்.
  
  ஆனால் அந்த நேரம் பார்த்து பொக்ரானில் இந்தியா அணு குண்டை வெடித்துச் சோதித்துப் பார்த்தது, இந்தியா மீது அமெரிக்காவும் பொருளாதாரத் தடை விதித்தது, மருதநாயகம் கனவும் கலைந்தது.
  
  தற்போது மருதநாயகம் உயிர் பெறுவதற்கான அனைத்து வாய்ப்புகளும் கூடி வருவதாக தெரிகிறது.

  That's highly unlikely. But when great actors like Om puri, Mohan Lal and Nasseerudhin shah play character actors (or in our Indian film industry's terms, Secand Hero ) I don't mind seeing kamal doing it quickly and investing it for Marudhanayagam!

  Joe,
  
  Do you really believe the source of these news? I doubt it.
  
  First, we all know the mass following that our super stars RK and KH carry. But, do you think the bollywood is currently threatened by RK and KH? I dont think so. I lived in Mumbai for sometime and even there, only tamil people watch RK/KH movies. KH had couple of successful movies in bollywood, other than that, RK and KH are non-starters in bollywood. As you know, bollywood has wider audience compared to any south indian regional fields. Bollywood reach is not just Mumbai, but all over india including most of South. I am not degrading our stars, but the real facts are different.
  
  Second, do you believe KH's Marudanaayagam was shelved due to American sanctions on India? Do you really think the money for this production is not available in India itself? India is not that poor; neither did American sanction so low that affects a movie production. I am sure that there are other untold reasons why KH stopped his "dream" movie.
  
  I am sure these news do not have any basis. Just my thoughts!!

  Disagree. I do know few NI friends who see KH movies regularly. It may not be ||| to how people see a movie like cheenikum. But whenever he comes up with something like this, they do go for it without any second thoughts. (A Kamal movie ofcourse) But I do agree with you that he is not quite in that league.

  its true that our superstars haven't touched the mainstream bollywood areas. Sivaaji made over JBJ but thats not a competition, and it was not taken as a defeat from South too. its just that the script was junk.
  
  even for dasa, having himesh, mallika and the (bollywood newbie) asin in the cast, in a kamal film wont help much. its only the script wich is expected to create waves.
  
  kamal surely would hav designed the story to appeal internationally, but still, how well will bollywood receive such a quality work? stil they may look for bollywood style Blask kind of movies and this attempt may fail too....
  
  one hi selling point which looks appealing to whole of india is kamal's 10 roles & the extraorinary grand sets\ultimate stunts.. this factoris a big plus.

  Very much true for Mumbai.
  
  I was there during the release of Hey Ram and ME. The initial days crowd were quite good. Definitely not in the league of current bollywood stars. That too for ME, with very minimal pre release ads it could pull 40 -70 % of crowd in the first 3 days in several places of Mumbai. There are several of my Mumbai friends rates Kamal as the best in India.
  
  Other than cities like Mumbai, Delhi his popularity could be very minimal in North. Not sure though.

  Please don't compare Kamal with Rajini in bollywood.
  
  Can you tell me atleast one hit movie in which Rajini acted as hero?
  
  Kamal had only 2 successful movies? then what about others?
  
  1.Ekduje keliye - one of the block buster in bolly wood
  2.Sanam theri kasam - ran 175 days
  3.Hindustani - ran 100+ days
  4.Chachi 420 - I think it crossed 100 days.
  
  apart from that Giraftar and Saagar were also super hit movies.
  
  during hindustani release(1996),he was no 4 in top 10 bolly wood heroes.
  
  you can check this info in 1996 kumudam diwali edition.

  Is it because the 20 cr - BO power statement
  
  I still feel no producer will pay 20 crores to any of the south indian supertars that include Rajini/Kamal/Chiru for a Hindi movie.
  With 20 crores, they can get all three Khans for a movie.
  But if some "rich" producer want to make an excellent film where he feels only Kamal can do that role, then the talent comes into picture and then Kamal my get 20 or 30 crores.
  But purely from the BO power in N0rth India, 20 crores is not believable.

  we argue many times among us about many topics that ralates to Nammavar.
  - what kind of roles he should do
  - under whom he should direct
  - whether he is giving over importance to make-up
  - whether he can make bilingual movies
  etc etc etc

  Orkut Dr.Kamal Fans' Dasavatharam T-Shirt reached Aandavar on Saturday
  
  [Source: Aandavar devotees Raj/Moni]
  
  Moni's chithappa called Giri is doing printing works for Rajkamal ( Visiting cards,
  Letter pads etc )
  So he is dealing with Thalaivar Manager Murali.
  On Friday, he took 1 tshirt and told he will try to give to Murali.
  So on Saturday he went to our Office.
  Murali saw it and stunned, including Karuna and others who were present there.
  As a coincidence, Thalaivar was there in first floor.
  Murali thought to give it to Thalaivar.
  Karuna encouraged Murali to go and give.
  Later Murali lonely went to first floor and Thalaivar was in discussions with actor Sivakumar.
  Thalaivar was busy it seems.
  Murali gave the tshirt and showed front and back sides.
  Thalaivar just watched for some 10 to 15 seconds it seems.
  And then Thalaivar told "oru 10 nimisham irukkeengala, naane koopudiren" to Murali.
  So Murali came down and was excited and shared his experience about this to Giri ( Moni chitappa )
  Even Giri was excited.
  But Thalaivar was so busy in some kind of serious discussions with Sivakumar.
  So he didnt call again.
  And later Giri has returned.
  Anyhow to Dr.Kamal HaasaR we gave an XL size Tshirt.

  Quote:

  THOUGHTS ON THE FLAGChildren are less suspicious and ignorant of the corruption that erodes our system like cancer. Their lack of experience with functional India, keeps them blissfully ignorant and preserves their naive patriotism. Every year I hoist my National-Flag in my terrace and sing my National Anthem. This habit was to let my children enjoy the same naive patriotism that I enjoyed as a child. It has become a habit. The flag solicits a certain emotion like the insurance company symbol or the medical symbol or the Red Cross. No symbol is worth the cloth it is printed on if it empowers dictators or facilitates division. I, by mindset, would like to stretch borders. I think patriotism as per lore is quite ridiculous and impractical. I am a dreamer who dreams of a war free silk route. When that happens we can proudly and legitimately call America as nephew Sam. We will then be the big uncles by any global standards. Kamal Haasan, actor and filmmaker

  interesting info about Oscar and Indian films. the participation certificate for the movie swathi muthyam is shown....this movie is the 1st one to go from down south, that was in 1985, only after which every year one movie is sent, except for the year 2003. So we can say, its kamalji who kickstarted the 2nd Generation of Oscar Race
  
  kamal would hav filled this gap easily if he sent Anbe Sivam whicj released jan 2003
  
  6 of kamal films are listed
  
  85-Swathi muthyam
  87-Nayagan
  92-Thevar Magan
  95-Kuruthippunal
  96-Indian (!!!!)
  2000-Hey Raam ( )

  Dont know if its the right forum to discuss this. If you break down our current GDP and what is being exported it is "Sofware" and that too to "America and few European countries". The more indian economy is stronger (due to exporting S/W related services), the more US and european economy weakens ($1=Rs39 now!!!), the less US will outsource to India and the less India will make and hence its GDP will go down again.
  
  Economy is hard to understand and even people who understand clearly (like Dr manmohan and Chidambaram) are wearing a political mask. So what comes out from them is really good for Congress Party, but not necessarily the truth.
  
  Abdul Kalaam's dream may come true in Science & Technology, but not in Economy. We are painted different picture. Unless India export "non service" goods, we really can not be super power. Until we do that, we need to call US - Uncle Same and call ourselves as Nephew Sam.
  
  Above all, I can not think off India with out corruption. So ...

  I get pissed off when people start the comparison at the drop of the hat !!!!!!
  What is there to compare between Kamal and Rajni - except for the popularity / commercial star value ?????????
  Kamal is much more than a crowd puller - a versatile artist -
  Atleast true Kamal fans should stop comparing Kamal with Rajni - I don't want to degrade Nammavar to such a limlited scope of star value.

  1) Technically, that was not *me*
  2) Even if it was me, how does it matter?
  Infact, that proves my point right? BW's source is usually (not always) arbit people like you and me and other websites.
  That 2nd release thing was an *event* and there was no reporter present there and the pics were sent to BW.
  There was no LIE or MISLEADING there. In other words, they had no source and were using a reader as the source of their info but that was not an example of them echoing reports from other sites nor their baseless lies.
  OTOH, if i mail them tomorrow saying "An actor XYZ's house was raided by IT officials and Rs."n" was recovered" or some such lie and they publish it, it is an example of them publishing lies, and using an arbit reader as their source.
  This Bangalore event, OTOH was covered by a correspondent from rediff. BW just echo what rediff said about the whole thing.
  3) If i criticize a site, does it mean I should not read that site at all?
  So, if i criticize the country i live in, i should leave that country immediately?
  So, whether i had sent a report of VV 2nd release (like i said, it was not me who did that but even if i had its immaterial) or not is irrelevant to this discussion.
  4) Why did i quote that BW article? To illustrate that they are repeating what rediff have written.
  
  P.S: Smart alek commentors, pl note: If i say BW is (generally) crap, it does not necessarily mean that all their articles are crap. Asking me, "you said XYZ is crap, now you are quoting that, he he" is illogical and besides the point.
  How can one judge say which is crap and which is not? - Upto one's common sense, and authentic info available. Sometimes you can never tell. Recently they had written that Aandavar was not happy with Oscar giving some leads to the media and later it was confirmed to be true from the usual reliable sources.

  I never said a thing -ve about anything.
  All I wanted to say is you know about BW already that they

  NEver I have quoted any links to prove my fav actors BO power either. We all know that media is an exaggerated media right from the old age AV to the latest internet savy BW or anything after that. Every one knows about it. So just COOOL it............

  I think the problem with Simbu is that he has the same puffed-up ego as his father. If he can't listen to, or of he doesn't have the ability to learn from veterans, then maybe he should keep silent rather than rattling off. You know what they say about empty vessels.
  
  He should take lessons on acting from Kamal, and lessons on good conduct and humility from Rajini.

  well i dont want to compare kamal with others on his conduct, but i would rate him on top than any other actor[here iam excluding seniors like NT]
  
  he is more humble than anyone. to spoonfeed, i wud say things like,
  
  his avoidance of titles in movies, rarely Padmashree;
  
  his acceptance about the real headcounts in his manrams;
  
  even his way of speaking, a pure tamilian, a man who went to top end of technology in tamil cinema, the man who traversed good heights of commercial success, but never shows of these stuff. its much more than all these.

  Oh yes. He can take lessons from Rajini, or Ramki for that matter. My reason for using Rajini for conduct is not to take anything away from Kamal.
  
  Kamal's conduct and behaviour is exemplery. He doesn't have any airs about him; and for a respected veteran, he never fails to give praise to other. I suppose I only mentioned Rajini because his name popped into my head.

  It is a general perception that kamal is potrayed as less humble and less conduct .But ,I don't know what kamal hassan did wrong other than being straight forward ..whoever may be ,one must be judged on how they are dedicated in their respective field .
  
  Kamal Hassan is second to none in dedication and hardwork in his field .He is extremely humble considering his talents and achivement.
  
  He is second to none in respecting his seniors and mentors ,infact not just by words ,he is the one put his words in action by giving opertunities to many seniors like Nagesh and kakka radhakrishnan ..He even named his movies to honour Pammak K Sampantham and Avvai Shanmugam .
  
  He may not the one always use 'superlative' words equally to praise everybody in open functions ,but he has given useful advices to many youngsters (to go and study in abroad on cinema techniques ..eg ..Jayam Ravi and few others I don't want to mention names).
  
  I don't know when and where he disrespect deserved people .Atleast I don't know .He has clear idea and preferences in every issues and he never hide it to make others to feel he takes everything equally ..He always gives deserved weightages to people based on what they really deserved ,instead of doing just for the sake of it.

  NOV, whatever it is, serious allegations against journalists is somewhat more true even now....alot of reporters almost tortoured kamal by simply asking kamal, abt kamal-simran relationship. at a stage he became so anger and somehow the media stopped pondering that.
  
  then, thers is stronger evidences that today's media is sidelining kamal in some issues and situations, and hiliting rajni to the over-extent it can.

Kamal's films are not profitable nowadays. thats the statement u ppl are giving. even some kamal fans are supporting this. ok. just go thru my last post. i clearly said kamal is next to rajni. and if he is not, then who is??? just see the other actors. vikram is almost in hibernation. surya is waiting for a commercial break. both their last films were flops. ajith is ok. vijay is sustaining. and eventho his last film is hit, the point here is "distributors darling" i doubt vijay is such. if his films flop, then the the way he messes is clearly seen. even there were probems during his pokkiri selling time. after gilli, its ony his pokkiri which sustained. before gilli there were countless flops, and one of his producer JV, suicided and clearly the film Thamizan was in question. but see. no one blamed him.after that too he gave a flop puthiya geethai, and then only he gave a semi hit thirumalai and onlt gilli saved him a secont innings. but see the media reactions. just compare that to kamal's situation when kooja tried suicide after VV pooja.\\
  
  its the same mmentalit of media, whcih si found in everyone who comment on kamal, now. vijay relaised after utiya geethai that, only a show of mass will work favour for him and he just did that right from thirumalai. no experimental, bold themes. so he is sustaining. and when his films flop, he jhust disappears and never come back with renumeration. see kamal's statte. he too realised abt the mass show only after anbe sivam. from there, there is no problem in his BO Power. Virumaandi did well and Vasoolraja did more well than that and VV just surpassed all records. only MX was a disappointment whi ch was rightly settled by kamal. and again ehre too, no praising words from media. again i will say the same mentality here too.
  
  as i said earlier, VV was too much delayed and even there were multiple selling for chennai area which added burden on the last buyer that is Oscar Ravi & Gautam Menon. but still the movie survived. not only in chennai but also in other places.agin here see, VV is not a typical masala potboiler crap or crass but still it made its day.
  
  in between, kamal succesfully did a full kannada movie, Rama SHama Bama.
  
  Now his Dasa is highly expected and some north and telugu producers are interested in kamal doing an Hindi or Telugu Movie. none is from TN.
  
  the problem for kamal is,
  1. the media and ppl's mentality is highy stupid,
  
  2. and the level of comparision is still in 1980 standard, and ppl simply ignore the facts that others[read here rajni,vijay] are not even into a pinch of experimenting and eventho the playing field is not level, ppl make flat comparision.
  
  3. there is no professional systematic producers in TN, like a very rare speice called Oscar Ravi.
  
  weather he is distro's darling or not, most of the producers here in TN have treated kamal unfairly like ilichavayan and again this fact is forget by ppl here, long term memory loss ??!!
  
  the bottomline is, what more do u expect from him, and what great others are delivering???

  Well said !!!
  
  Kamal has given many industry biggest hits in Tamil in the last 25 years.
  
  His Telugu movie "Maro charithra" was the biggest hit in Telugu for 3 years.
  
  His EK Duje Keliya was the biggest block buster when it released.
  
  His "Sagara Sanagamam","Swathy Muthyam" and "Indradu Chandradu" were the biggest hits of the year they released.
  
  Indian is the only movie which had a success in what ever language released (Tamil,Telugu, Hindi).
  
  He is the only hero in the country who gave silver jubilee Hits in 6 different languages. No one can beat this record.

  Sakala,
  
  If you like him to be called Dr., I don't think there should be any problem with that. If at all there is one person who deserves it, it is KH (in TFI) & he has got it. Just because someone else has got it, doesn't mean that you should refrain from calling him so......Anyway that is my opinion though....

  Something is definetely in the works for a few weeks now. Others
  http://www.dinakaran.com/daily/2007/sep/09/high3.asp are also reporting.
  
  But it is a big task for anyone including manirathnam to have both these guys in the same movie. It might be better for Kamal and Mani to stick to producing and directing this movie respectively with Rajni as the hero -- guarenteed success and everyone will benefit. Perhaps in the future (whenever that future arrives), Mani can direct Kamal separately for a different film.
  
  The last time Mani and Kamal got together they got tangled in money matters (and ego problems). It has taken them quite a while to get over it. Ofcourse, GV who did not get along well with Kamal, is no more. Rajni's objective in doing this movie is to help both Kamal and Mani (whose two brothers are no more) - they both are in need of some much needed money flow. Kamal hasn't delivered in a long time and his recent hit (more than a year ago) got into all sorts of problems with everyone concerned unhappy even though the film did good business in tamil. His in the making "Dasa..." is taking a bit too long to complete and is a much riskier bet than say, Sivaji. Mani, on the other hand, delivered a grudging hit after a while in the form of Guru and his next planned Lajjo has been cancelled for now. With the sudden loss of his second brother, he needs to get back to work to get over his grief but has to deliver a commercial hit.
  
  Kamal and Mani collborating on producing this movie with just Rajni acting and Mani directing will keep things simple. Let's see what happens!

  Kamal says he went in search of wider applause. The Amitabh-Kamal starrer, based on Whose Life is it Anyway?, produced by Poornachandra Rao, was shelved after 75 per cent of the film was shot, because someone felt very insecure.
  
  Kannada director T.S. Ranga is shooting for the Hindi film Gidh . Om points to a poster of Sagara Sangamam and gushes: "This boy has tremendous potential." He's amazed when you tell him that Kamal Hassan has already acted in more films than Om probably ever will. Om's ignorance is genuine since he's watched only Ek Duje Ke Liye.

  Now Rajini is almost in retirement stage. maximum he can act another 3 movies(2 years/movie).
  
  So he desparately needs a National award.(MGR,Shivaji and Kamal got national awards.)
  
  first he thought that he would get national award for shivaji movie.now it went on vain.
  
  now final chance is Kamal and Mani.
  
  why kamal?
  If he acts in Mani movie,defenitely Kamal will give better than that movie.
  
  Proof
  ----
  1991 - Guna vs Dhalapathy
  1992 - Devar mahan vs Roja
  1995 - Kuruthipunal vs Bombay.
  
  so if Rajini acts under Rajkamal banner,kamal won't give any movie.

  Dear Raja Ram,
  
  I am not getting your logic !
  Too much imagination
  
  Why unnecessary interprettion, friend?
  
  Even if this happens, it is good for the industry. Kamal will use Rajini's talent more than what Shankar/KSR and gang can do.

  enakku therinja (aravekkadu knowledge) varaikkum solren.. experts may clarify..
  
  One production house (say X) will finance the whole project.
  However, by Raajkamal doing the movie on a first copy basis, it is meant that Raajkamal will be given a budget for executing the project till the first copy (with negative) is ready. Then the marketing and distribution will be taken over by the financing production house.
  
  The important difference is unlike an outright third-party production, in this case Aandavar (that is Raajkamal) will have more 'say'... that is, till the first copy is ready..
  
  Something like outsourcing a project on a fixed price basis...

  Kamal condemns Hyderabad blasts
  
  By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 11 September , 2007, 09:07
  
  Padmashri Dr. Kamal Hassan condemned the bomb blasts in Hyderabad and expressed his sympathies with the family members of the victims. "I love Hyderabad and the people here. I wish the city would soon overcome the shock."
  The actor was in the city attending the success meet of his latest film Raghavan (dubbed version of Tamil hit Vetayadu Vilayadu) at Prasads Multiplex. He looked dashing in a grey suit and was the cynosure to hundreds of the audience.
  
  "My film Raghavan is received well by Hyderabad people despite the fear-psychosis prevailing in the city. The film is working like a balm in settling the ruffled feelings of the people. The movie is hailed as a great entertainer. I thank the distributors and exhibitors in dispelling fears among the audience by arranging superb security arrangements at the theatres," Kamal Hassan said.
  
  Director Gowtham Menon, who accompanied Kamal Hassan, said: "Raghavan is my dream project with Kamal. Script and screenplay are the major strengths of the film. Harris Jayraj's music is another big asset. Success of Raghavan is due to the collective efforts."

  Flashback: Nayagan (1987)
  
  
  Then paandi cheemaiyile
  Therodum veediyile
  Maan pola vandavane
  Yaaradichaaro….
  Unforgettable words, set to a timeless tune. Even as I type it out, I can feel the goosebumps; such is the poignant quality of this song, that went on to epitomise Mani Ratnam’s Nayagan. Kamal Hassan’s portrayal of Velu Nayakkar is perhaps his best performance till date, in the same light the movie is the director’s best effort, bar none.
  
  The movie is set in Dharavi, where a young Velu (Kamal Hassan) is struggling to make his mark on a cut throat world. Cool, calculating and composed, he moves with all the precision of a hyena, in a world infested with sharks of every size and shape. In a sink or swim environment, Velu is determined to not just survive, but to be a master of his game. To this effect, he wheels and deals some minor issues for the local thug and makes his bones smuggling contraband under the very eyes of the police. Velu Nayakkar has arrived. His icy demeanour is shown a chink the day he meets a young prostitute, Neela (Charanya). When he meets this gauche youngster, her request to ‘let her off’ quickly so she could prepare for her exams the next day poleaxes him. He spends the night observing her as she crams for her school test and falls asleep over her books. By the time dawn breaks, Velu is well and truly in love with this naive girl. He marries her soon as she finishes her exams and with the arrival of two children soon after, his domestic life is perfect.
  
  On the professional front, though, it cannot be more different. In a world full of smugglers and underworld thugs, backed as they are by powers both political and financial, lone man Velu, with an uncanny knack of making the money soon becomes the thorn on the side of many a man. Also along the way, he rubs an honest cop the wrong way, who ends up dead in an altercation with Velu. Catching sight of his grieving widow and their mentally impaired son at the funeral, Velu is stung by remorse. He takes the family under his wing and provides them with financial support, never disclosing the dark secret that it was he who deprived them of the husband and father.
  
  To stem his meteoric rise to the top, a rival faction decides to finish him off in the confines of his own home. But it is Neela who gets caught in the crossfine and dies, leaving Velu to bring up their son and daughter alone. Neela’s death does not finish him off; Velu’s star is firmly on the ascent and some of his shrewd competitors form allegiences with him once they learn they cannot beat him. But his enemies are determined to bring him down one way or another and keep biding their time.
  
  
  Whilst the son, Surya, eagerly follows him in his footsteps, the daughter tries her best to stay away from the evil world her father chooses to rule. Hothead that he is, Surya lacks his father’s ability to see things for what they are and gets murdered for his pains. An inconsolable Velu vows revenge; his distraught daughter leaves him, blaming her father entirely for the untimely demise of both her mother and her brother. Left alone, he avenges his son and goes on to rule his kingdom, till the day yet another of his kind act comes back to fatally bite him.
  
  A superlative show by the consummate artist that he is, Kamal Hassan shut his critics once and for all with this one movie. Confidently playing an old don in the prime of his youth, his emotional scene as he sees his son lying slain is one of the most touching scenes in Indian cinema. He is supported by a strong cast of Janagaraj, ‘Delhi’ Ganesh and ‘Nizhalgal’ Ravi, as young Surya. Charanya in her maiden performance does a fairly decent job.
  
  The music score to this movie is set by none other than Ilaiyaraja. The haunting numbers that so set the mood for the movie will, am sure, resonate in every one who has seen the film. Be it the title song or the raunchy number on the seas, with its ‘dha-doom, dha-doom’ beats, there is a song for every mood.
  
  Drawing inspiration from one of the greatest movies of all time, Godfather, Mani Ratnam once again wields his magic and creates a piece of cinema history. Making a detour from his regular soft romance, Mani successfully makes a foray into the world of sinister underworld. Dharavi would forever be associated with Velu Nayakar, never forgotten.

He also mentioned about how North people are utilizing sucessfully the corporates, like which even we have to utlize them all sorts. He also mentioned about Kalaignar's screen play writing techniques. Nothing regarding Dasa. As usual thalaivar at his best when giving miniscule details of cinema.

  Kamal Haasan's younger daughter Akshara is fast becoming the talk of the town. She is just 16 and has her eyes set on the Olympics already. With dancing in her genes and a doting father, she's just breezed through the first bronze test in ballroom latin conducted by the UK Alliance of Professional Teachers Of Dancing. Ballroom Latin will be a competitive sport in the 2012 Olympics in London. "I observe a lot. I try to get it right. I've been working hard," said Akshara Haasan, Dancer and Kamal Haasan's daughter Akshara's elder sister Shruti is already into music, and is solidly routing for her little sister. "I see a lot of Kamal in her. He's a great dancer himself and she's very talented and is naturally gifted for dancing," said Jeffrey Vardon, Director, Hot Shoe Dance Comp. So as she does the Cha Cha and the Latin jive, Akshara knows she has to keep her feet firmly on the ground. To qualify for the Olympics she's got 4 more levels to pass in the next 5 years.

  Rajni denies Mani-Kamal film!
  
  Rajnikanth has denied that he is doing a film with Kamal Hassan, directed by Mani Ratnam, as made out by the Tamil print media. Rajni told a selected few journalists after watching a special show of Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Tej's launch Telugu film Chiruta at Four Frames preview theatre in Chennai.
  Ranikanth said: "No such film has come to me or was discussed. All the news of Kamal producing my next movie in the direction of Mani is false. I haven't yet decided on future projects," Rajni says he is just taking it easy and it will take some time for him to even start looking for a script for his next film.
  
  For the last few weeks the local media has been full of colourful stories on Rajni-Kamal-Mani coming together with even the national English news channels playing it up. When the rumour started in the Tamil press, Moviebuzz had stated that it is an "imagination running wild, and the project would never become a reality."

  Adlabs Films: Betting on new ventures Adlabs Films has been one of the star performers of the market for quite some time. The stock on Tuesday gained 3.45 per cent at Rs 490.75 while week-on-week it reported a gain of 7.57 per cent and month-on-month 11.46 per cent. Apart from Reliance-group tag, the stock has been lapped up by select investors, on reports that the company has joined hands with Kamal Hassan for their first film production in Tamil. Market sources say that the corporate house is planning to launch their first venture in Chennai soon. They added that they have signed an agreement with Kamal to act in two films — one of those would be written and directed by Kamal himself and the other would be directed by a leading director in Kollywood. Recently, the company had produced Kreedam jointly with K. Balaji’s son. But the film didn’t turn out to be profitable as expected, following which the stock price also took a minor dip. The company has now decided to go solo. Reports are also doing the rounds that Adlabs Films approached leading Tamil stars — Vijay and Vishal — to act in their next ventures. Adlabs is also busy producing a Telugu film with leading star Nagarjuna. K.S. Badri Narayanan

  Interview with Kamal Hassan
  by Aparita
  
  (on and about Hey Ram)
  
  Aparita : The first question would obviously be, what prompted you to make a movie that dealt with the Partition and Independence of India?
  
  Kamal : I always ask this question about now and tomorrow? The answer always lies in the past. One day, when we look at it carefully, a little more, without getting bored about it, that it is already happened, it is not live, we will realize… If we would only take that moment and look into it (the past), then we would realize what is going to happen. Why it is happening today, and what might happen tomorrow.
  
  A : I noticed that you start of with 1999 riots. So you see that as a parallel?
  
  K : Yes. What I am trying to say is, what I am looking at is…it is not that the present is the most colorful because you are living in it. It could be the other way around; you have lost your colors. It was there before. That is why I prefer to shoot contemporary happenings in black and white.
  
  A : I also noticed that you show the present in black and white and past in color; usually it is the opposite. But even in the present, when you have the riots, you have the fire that is burning…
  
  K : Yah, that seems to be the most permanently colored thing. Blood and fire. We could not afford to do much more (with the black and white part of the film). We wanted to do the blood in red as well but it became a bit too costly.
  
  A : What about the research that went into the movie? You can see that a lot went into it…
  
  K : Enormous research was done but gratefully for me (unlike my other film, which I am still doing, Maradanayakam, where nothing was available, it was a lot of excavating) a lot of the work has already been done. There is so much about the period. There is a professor who had written a book about the Calcutta riots. I had so much background material, it was almost as if I could see it happening.
  
  A : What about you? How did this trip into the past affect you because you are dealing with it on a daily basis?
  
  K : It was a moving experience, a clichéd thing to say, but it was. I never knew I had so many tears in me. I thought they had all dried up. When I was re-enacting the Beligatta riots, I had to go back and control a whimper before I could tell them (the actors) what to do, how to go about killing Muslims. Or vice versa. I had to tell them how to effectively kill a man and not look staged. Then I had to tell an old man how it would feel to have a knife puncturing your lung when it is touching your solar plexus, so "you are not able to breathe, you are gasping for breath. You are already old and crumbled. Probably the last thing you would say is Allah? So say that." It did tell upon my psyche. I did a shot of me weaving across the riot after all this. I did not have to act. I was in that state. People settled abroad, especially in Britain and America, they think that it is very boring, very old-fashioned, to harp back to Hindu-Muslim riots. But it has not gone away. They have to face it. Yes, they live a happy life. Sit in a café like this, but India does not. It is still happening there. We have pose and answer the question. It might be a miniscule question that goes unheard, but these questions have to be asked again and again and again.
  
  A : Especially for a generation like ours, we don't know any of these things…
  
  K : Yes, and the problem is that the older people say, "What do these kids know?" So there is a polarity. For me, I have a strange personal connection to that period. I am a child of a man who went to the war, but I was born when my father was fifty. So we keep on talking about it. There is so much of talk about Gandhi, anti-Gandhi… If at all I have any person as a hero, its Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi. I deliberately do not say Mahatma. That is the only photograph that I have in my office.
  
  A: How difficult was it to get into the character of Saket Ram?
  
  K: For me, I was living there. I knew some of it, second hand, and having read the book… Its like the man (Saket Ram) when he comes back to see Aparna. The things are not there but you can imagine them, it is like that for me. The apartment was shot in Madras, not in Calcutta. All of it was shot in Madras.
  
  A : Even the Delhi bit? CP and Hotel Marina?
  
  K : The Hotel Marina scene is Madras. I wrote the scene, sitting in the Marina Hotel (in Delhi), in the room where Nathuram Ghodse sat. We went to Karachi, we went to Delhi. We shot in Delhi for one and half days, and Calcutta for two days. The rest was done in Madras. We recreated it. It was very difficult. The costume for the movie has won an award, and the recreation was equally difficult. Not that we are looking for an award. Our award is having seen it through, coming this far is an award. We all want to make a statement with this film.
  
  A: The idea of making Saket Ram an archaeologist. For me the there was a metaphor in it, an archaeologist is a person who digs in the past. Is that what you were thinking?
  
  K : No, it is not even a metaphor. What I was trying to say was that he is a man who is capable of digging into the past and getting the information. He is man who is educated, westernized, who does not care what is happening in the country. Yet, he can be sucked into this water. People do not want to confront this, but it is happening. One Shahrukh Khan and one Kamal Hassan dies every Vinayak Chaturthi. That is why I wanted Shahrukh, because he is a Muslim, and I make no bones about it. I play my background. I come from the background which is defined, described in the film. The man who played the rapist is Amjad Khan's son. So we even cast (the actors) by caste and religion. I wanted them to play it and still feel it.
  
  A : And religion is such a strong force in the film. There is that one moment that is so telling in the film. When Abhyanker first meets Saket Ram, he literally identifies himself, with his janeu (sacred thread) and recites Sanskrit. That 'Aham asti'…
  
  K : That is where is you are a Brahmin, and if you are a non-Brahmin, you get goose pimples. Its like the Massonic love, it is secret code. It is like spies talking to each other. Coded message there. Abhyanker also gives him an additional thing, he paints him (with a tilak), the war paint is on. This is all true. As a matter of fact I held back. I did not want to shock anyone, but it is our parents who did it. There are people living still who have killed in the Calcutta riots and they have gone free. When I asked a seventy year old man, how he felt, he said that he was thirteen, he enjoyed doing it. That shocked me. This is what breaks me. It cannot happen again, it should happen again. But it is happening. This is why I made the film. It is not a film to do. I have lost a whole financial year making this film. But I am happy doing this once in while. Hey! Ram flopped, but I don't care. It was an arbitrary, tyrannical decision and the support that I have got has made it worth it. I want to do with cinema what Gandhi did politically.

  the ONLY good thing in all this is, the world now knows how does kamal haasan treat \ consider \ promote his fans when compared to other actors. those who refuse to belive that kamal does not encourage his fellow fans will now come to know the bare truth.
  
  and yes, when compared to other actors who welcome his fans, rajni goes multiple step ahead. one has to really starve to find reasons to hate him. becos of rajni's nice attitude, his fans are the LUCKIEST than any

  Yes. And, he is basically streamlined in thinking, and doesn't tolerate as much as we fans would like him to.
  
  But I tell you this though, no one has that GUTS, and those who thought of him to be 'selfish' have been time and again contradicted by his actions.
  
  P.S: Even Gandhi had misunderstandings with his followers. No wonder that Kamal is a Gandhian.

  This is not new. World already knows how Kamal treats his fans when he made them as welfare association long time back (which no other major actor has done yet!). I think ppl are getting silly & emotional just bcoz he told not to use his name or movie name to sell Tshirts. This may trigger some anxiety among some ppl but ppl who like him for his acting will continue so...bcoz they always cared abt his acting only.
  Also there is difference between exploiter and responsible. I think he tries to be responsible than exploiter. He just wants his fans to enjoy movies and do welfare activity (if possible). So we should not take it very seriously and deal with coolhead. Also dont compare with any other actor as they may have different priorities or interests.

  What i meant was, kamal, who calls his fans and himself as a family is now shouting out publicly something bad about some family members. when kamal fans did some narpani like donating computers to some school\
  organaising blood\eye donation camps on Independence day they never asked any permission frm the fans association head. all those was done with their own money, in name of kamalji. the fans meet was even covered by press
  
  those fans also spend their own money for decorating banners posters ect. his birthday celeb plans are being discussed for past 2 months before itself, in orkut.and they duely put a thread to invite ppl to join welfare club. appozuthu ethuvumkelvi ketkaatha Aandavar ippothu T-Shirt sales seithatharkaaga mattum kothippathu en?
  
  even if that was mistake he publizices them and in that weay insults them[instead of supporting them]family familynnu sollum Aandavar, athai en ippadi pothu panchayat kondu varugiraar. and looks like he is going ahead of legal action too. Enna kodumai ithu kamal sir???
  
  Note: i neither own the T-Shirt nor i was involved in the T-Shirt production\sales. i did'nt even go to the bangalore\chennai fans meet
  
  many sites were\are publishing the dasa news and stills unofficially, many induviduals update about dasa news on their respective blogs and some pull in Google Adsense to run their site. so what legal action Sir is going to put on them

  I really feel sorry for fans hurt by kamal's statement ..We know how these fans love kamal .when they come to know they are called as 'poli' and 'Viyabharigal' by their own idol ,I can feel the pain how much they will get hurt and upset.
  
  But ,It is easy to get mislead for kamalhassan .
  
  Reason
  
  The website says "First official website about Kamalhassan and his fans" ..Even though the intension is geniune ,whoever want to ill inform kamalhassan don't have to search for any other proof ..He can just show it to kamal and say "see..without seeking our permission they are running a website and stated as a official one ..This is good enough for kamal getting angry.

  Not sure, before these activities fans at least conveyed these messages to Kamal either directly or indirectly.
  
  Now look at different persons point of view.
  
  From fans point of view they are promoting their idol. extremely fine and good.
  
  From Kamal's point of view if he is not aware of these activities well before he can feel there may something go wrong or going wrong. That is human nature.
  
  I dont feel mistakes with both these.
  Considering his position he would be believing the persons who he had kept.
  
  What i would say is instead of getting disappointed just put urself in the shoes of other and let us see what to do further.
  
  atleast now people can contact kamal directly / indirectly and put forth their respect to him and their good intention fot these activities. That is what i feel.

  BTW i guess this happened because of his previous bad experience with V-Can network marketing Company who was known to collect money to invest Marudhanayagam film from public via MLM. Remember Mumbai Express audio CDs has purchased by the same company (2.5 laksh cassets) even before audio cassete release and hence Kamal started an audio company and released ME album. (But I was not able to get the CD even after 10 days of release). And Kamal believed Vcan initially and later he knew that V-can cheated public. Finally he gave the same type of announcement via press what he does now.

  the problem here is, following the same way there is a possibility that some others in the same way could involve in such activities.
  For example for Tsunami relief there are genuine people who does welfare, at the same time some frauds too involve in these activities.
  Kamal does not want any such types of things using his name should happen. When u donate things there is no such complications.
  Making a public statement would make his principle much more clearer and could avoid any such things in the future. Legal case is to show more strictness which he will never going to do. UHK thing he would have added just for making things clear that without his knowledge nothing should happen.
  
  As i mentioned I respect those who were promoting Kamal via wesites and these T-Shirt promos and Meetings.
  
  Kamal does know, no one becomes crorepathis and i am sure he is aware about his fans. His statement is to avoid any unwanted people misusing his name and misleading public or so.
  
  This statement just proves his honesty towards the people he belongs to.

  திருமாறன்,
  நீங்கள் சொல்ல வரும் கருத்து ஏற்புடையதே . கமல் ஹாசன் என்ற முற்போக்கு வாதி குறுகிய லாபத்தை விட பொதுநலத்தில் அக்கறை கொண்டவர் என்பதில் சந்தேகம் இல்லை .ஆனால் அதே நேரத்தில் தன்னுடைய சொந்த ரசிகர்கள் மீது வைக்கப்படும் குற்றச்சாட்டை இன்னும் தீர விசாரித்திருக்க வேண்டும் என்பது என் தாழ்மையான கருத்து .
  
  நீங்களோ ,நானோ கமல் ரசிகர்கள் என்றாலும் ரசிகர் மன்றங்களில் தொடர்பில்லாதவர்கள் .என்னைப் போல நீங்களும் தியேட்டரில் கமல்ஹாசன் தோன்றும் போது விசிலடிக்க கூட செய்யாதவர் என நினைக்கிறேன் .ஆனாலும் கமல் ரசிகர்கள் .அவரை நேசிப்பவர்கள் . வெறித்தனமான ரசிக மனோபாவத்தை ,தனி மனித வழிபாட்டை தனிப்பட்ட முறையில் நான் வெறுப்பவன் என்றாலும் கூட ,நமக்கு ஓரளவு பரிச்சயமான சில கமல் ரசிகர்கள் மனம் வருந்தும் படி காரியங்கள் நடப்பதும் ,அதற்கு அவர்கள் தங்கள் தலைவனாகவும் வழிகாட்டியாகவும் வைத்து போற்றும் கமல்ஹாசனே காரணமாக அமைந்து விட்டது மனதை மிகவும் வருந்த செய்கிறது.
  
  கமல்ஹாசன் மேல் கொண்ட மதிப்பு அப்படியே இருக்கிறதென்றாலும் ,உண்மையான பாசம் கொண்ட இந்த ரசிகர்களை புண்படுத்துவதை அவர் தவிர்த்திருக்கலாம் என எனக்கு தோன்றுகிறது

  I think when it comes to money matters things take a turn - whether it is 20 Rs or 2 million. No one questions anything if fan events and member meetings are organized in the actors name but when an item is sold for money with the actors name and face on it, even when it is a small value item such as a T-shirt, out comes an "Arikkai".
  
  I think this has happenned before (the "arikkai" business) and the rules of the game clearly established. So, the question to ask here is, who's right?

  If i have a chance to meet Kamal, i will definately explain to him of the sincerity of this fans. He should not have made this statement without investigating. For your info, i am a Rajini fan!
  
  Kamal fans. Be calm and try yor best to explain to Kamal. Kamal would listen. Unlike other actors, Kamal gives priority to his fans!
  
  Pls do not remove the www.universalherokamal.com. Pls remove "kamal official site" in that site and try to put up a disclaimer. The best example is http://rajinifans.com/others/disclaimer.php

  but Sir would be feeling that if his script and act is proper, fans will naturally follow him...he encourages good stuff by fans but when there is some problem from fans, his condemns and kandippu is unnessesarily strong
  
  samething happened last time when fasn compared him to Islam god on a Poster. those are our sakaas who did that but he released a press note saying those was done by some Vizhamigal!
  
  he is forgetting that his fans are the foremost accesible guys who are ready to change and even apologise, and thus he is needlessly harsh those times

  Well, i am the one who posted more and more after this issue, u can trackback, but to summarise, he projected as if that the main motive of UHK.com and Orkut Kamal community is to make Business out of his name, by selling T Shirts.

  yes. I was just saying my opinion from Kamal's point of view. I can understand how much pain it will be pain if the person we love truely disturbs us with some words. I met Karthikeyan during a hubbers meet. He is such a nice guy and has extreme respect and love towards Kamal. Could really undertstand the pain. But this pain will vanish in no time i am sure.

  Hi Guys ,
  
  I too feel sad about kamal's viyabarigal speech..
  
  It is totally wrong in logical way too..
  
  How can he file case against fans..?
  
  Throught the year all around tamil nadu lot of people selling actor's t-shirts as business..
  are not they selling kamal's one..?or they got kamal and producer's permission..?
  
  what about deepavali and pongal greetings...which has more business benefits..
  
  whether those people got kamal and producer's permission..?
  
  like this lot of things are happening in actor's name...
  
  These things are involving huge money..and they are doing it as business with huge benefits without any copy right or permission.
  
  So if he wants that his name should not be used for business then he should stop those things first..
  
  jsut shared my feelings .. nothing else...

  Sakala,
  That post was not intended to you or Thiru or other sagaas here but to those who, without having any idea or context of what really happened, comment like "2 million or 2Rs its the same" etc... The beauty is that such persons post ONLY negative half-baked baseless stuff read from "websites" here but offer their expert self-righteous arm-chair comments without any qualm. Their ignorance is so blinding that it morphs into condescension for facts and obeisance to "websites" even for their daily needs.. Maybe such people will have no problem in assimilating/lapping up NDTV's astounding insightful figure of 7 Crores in the "scam"!

But here lies the truth. whatever said and done, Kamal could himself have called up the Orkut fans admin and UniversalHeroKamal.com admin and sorted out the matters.
  
  But the news has come in NDTV and its a shame if a person still remains as a fan of Kamal.

  Of course, he does. This is just a case of misinformation and misleading, this is NOT a mistake, it's just that he is misguided here, and the novel intention of the fans misfired, and then there is the case of 'copyright' of logo, etc. - The innocent fans were doing it for promoting the film, and never thought it would lead to this. In any case, Everything will be sorted out. Don't worry!

  If Kamal wants his fans to back him, he has to give them some leeway. He cannot expect to maintain his popularity with the support of just multiplex crowds. Glad to know the issue has been sorted out, but it has left a bitter taste ..

  Personally I don't think it's anything to do with giving leeway to fans,after all he has been made to believe that this crowd is made up of 'poligal'&'Vyabarigal'.
  
  It'a question of a 54 year old,well read,articulate,intelligent person who has got a passion for his trade not applying his mind&getting swayed by people around him.Sad state,wonder why it didn't strike him that before issuing such a hurting statement,a bit of investigation should be made.
  
  Also,he personally disapproves of fans spending time&money on things like posters,banners etc,doesn't want to be equated with 'God'&is particular that all welfare activities should be conducted under the banner of his 'Narpani Iyakkam'.
  
  Now this group for certain reasons is not getting along well with the man who runs the Iyakkam&so started out their own thing.THAT is the root cause of all problems.
  
  Since we know quite a few members of the group thro' this Hub&personally,we all feel bad that such a thing has happened.
  
  Even I am disappointed but that doesn't mean it will reduce my respect/admiration for Kamal haasan-Actor,producer,director,writer.
  
  I don't know Kamal Haasan-the person&I don't wish to know that side of him.

  In 2002 one actor gave ad that If any one use his movie stills with out his permission,he would take legal action against them. any one aware of that incident?

  The write move
  
  Chatline Malathi Rangarajan talks to Kamal Haasan the writer, as two of the veteran actor’s screenplays are being translated and released at the World Book Fair in Kerala.
  
  
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Giants such as KB should work on publishing their scripts. It will be a real legacy
  
  “I’m touched that a highly literate neighbouring State wants my works in their language. For them I’m always ‘Nammada Kamalahaasan’,” says an elated Kamal Haasan about the honour that awaits him in Kerala for his writing skills.
  
  Two Malayalam translations of his Tamil screenplays — Mahanadhi and Hey!Ram!— are scheduled to be released at the inaugural function of the World Book Fair in Thiruvananthapuram on October 28. K. S. Viswanathan is the translator of the book titled “Kamalahaasanda Randu Thirakadhagal.”
  
  “It’s a D.C. Books publication, and we’ve worked with systematic diligence, especially for Hey! Ram!, because the dialogue has plenty of Marathi. Viswanathan would often call me up for clarifications. And we spent a lot of time selecting the right pictures,” says Kamal.
  
  
  Kamal’s craving for literature began even as a boy, when literary stalwarts stomped the Haasan home in the form of dinner table conversations. “Everyone in the family was highly educated. The works of V.S. Khandekar and ‘Kalaignar’ were common subjects of discussion. Unwittingly my ears fed on them. Being a high school dropout, I panicked. I had to belong and so I had to educate myself.” The thirst led him on and he began reading every classic that came his way.
  
  As a teenager, Kamal confined himself to English books. It was the late writer Ananthu, a constant at the K. Balachander camp, who opened the doors for the young man to enter the empire of Tamil litterateurs and world cinema makers. “I still miss him. He’s one of those many unsung geniuses,” Kamal pauses.
  
  It was director R.C. Sakti who actually made Kamal see the writer in him. “I was a young boy groping for a foothold as director when Sakti got me a notebook and said, ‘Write a short film for me.’ I did. The peer acceptance was a tremendous morale booster.”
  
  Continuously honing his skills, Kamal went on to write poems. “I’ve written more than a 100. Anger, joy, sadness and hurt make me turn towards writing poetry. And when contemporaries compliment the work, it’s an elixir.”
  
  Kamal’s maiden attempt at screenplay, Raja Paarvai, (though he’d written a couple in Malayalam earlier) spells ingenuity and class. “But my favourites are those that came later — Thevar Magan, Virumaandi...”
  
  Attending U.S. writer John Truby’s workshops on screenplay, rubbing shoulders with world class directors Jean-Claude Carriere and Milos Forman and writer Sundara Ramasamy and the influence of filmmakers of the ilk of Istran Zabo culminated in Kamal avidly pursuing screenplay writing. “I imbibed their techniques and evolved as a writer. Dovetailing a story and detailing it in the format is a challenge,” he says. “Giants such as KB should work on publishing their scripts. It will be a real legacy,” he adds.
  
  With every film, it’s Kamal the writer who eggs the actor on. Dasavatharam comes with his story, screenplay and dialogue. “It was a daunting task. My 10 acting roles may blur the face of the writer now. But once the film is out, the 11th man is bound to get noticed,” he chuckles.
  
  K. S. Ravikumar, director of Dasavatharam, says: “The way he has blended the commercial with the natural is incredible. Dasavatharam will be a veritable feast.” And its lens man Ravivarman believes that Kamal’s narratives are timeless. “Including Dasavatharam, all his film scripts will remain relevant forever. I worked with him for 207 days for the film and each day was an enjoyable learning experience.”
  
  What next?
  
  
  
  Kamal is already working on his next script, Marmayogi, envisaged as a massive bi-lingual in Hindi and Tamil. Meanwhile, D.C. is also keen on publishing a Malayalam translation of the Dasavatharam screenplay. “I’ve a long way to go. A time could come when published scripts win the Sahitya Akademi. After all, this is original writing too,” he smiles.

  Hi guys,
  I'm being a bit lazy here, but from what I can read from a few pages back, my understanding is that Kamal t-shirts were sold by a fan club, and now he's put out a harsh statement against the club. Is this right?
  
  I don't mean to offend any of my fellow Kamal fans but, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING GUYS???
  
  In fact the fans should be the ones sounding the alarm bells if they come across any unauthorised merchandising.
  
  I understand that some fans can be enthusiastic, and sometimes this enthusiasm can give way to spontaneous and unplanned projects. But this is basically using other people's property without authority for business (whether they made a profit or not is really immaterial).
  
  And I hope this sends a signal out to the others who use photos of actors or from any movie without authority.
  
  In a way, I'm glad that Kamal issued a statement, especially against a fan club. On the other hand, I hope that Kamal understands that there are genuine fans out there who show their appreciation/admiration/fanaticism by doing things like this without thinking it through. Hopefully the fans involved and Kamal have a meeting to talk this out and clear any misunderstanding.
  
  (In defence of the fan club members, I must say their dedication is pretty full-on. I suppose you need to be a bit more careful when it comes to things like merchandising, etc).
  
  PS: If I've missed out on any details and other developments, please fill me in while I visit the previous pages. Thanks.

  Kumar,
  Hi.
  
  Agree with out completely but what hurt the fans involved&ppl like us was that he did not give an opportunity for the group to explain,made his decision by listening to ppl who played dirty&some of the words used in the statement were pretty hard hitting.
  
  Anyways looks like the issue has been sorted out ,albeit temporarily. So lets look forward to 10A&Marma Yogi(I find the title very intriguing).

  You dont have to defend every statement Kh makes by coming up a unconvincing perspective!
  
  You are not helping him. You are rather misleading him or misdireacting him!
  
  There are always few rotten apples everywhere. When he is commenting on them, he does not have to hurt others and disappoint others.
  
  
  
  * I would say, he was rude, even when people addressed him as "nabigaL naayagam"! There was absolutely nothing wrong in that. It was some muslims they made a big deal out of something which need to be ignored. The fans there did not have any bad intention at least and there was no money invloved there either.
  
  * His statement towards those "ignorant fans" who addressed him as "nabigaL naayagam", love him a lot, was very very RUDE!
  
  I dont know what he is thinking of himself. He needs to learn to forgive and forget some silly issues and there is absolutely no need for making such statements aginst fans.

  kumar, at very 1st place, none, NONE of the ppl thot the tshirt sale as business oriented. that none includes u too. even tho u maynot have involved or maynot posess one t shirt, u would have been aware of that sale and didnt tell what u are telling now. so all of a sudden u cannot shout at them AFTER Sir finding them as faulty. Even those involved too agreed about that, that the sale [without the consent of Iyakkam] was a wrong move. So why ponder it more??u are vel pauchifying in ventha punn
  
  tamiz,
  the very factor that he was rude, is acceptable but there is another view, his view from which his act is very much justified. thatswhy those victims are still fans of kamal and they are spell bounded by that man's integrity. and please note no other actor has this guts to do so.
  
  the only mistake on Sir is, he came out publicly and yelled...what was to be completely solved behind his office[as Sir calls his fans and himself as a same family, doing welfare] came out to public. and NDTV used it to make news, as usual.
  
  Infact Sir had called the ppl involved to meet personally, before giving the statement, and the Orkut ppl just missed the very chance by some fate of destiny. this is what they call time\fate. If that could have happened, all this would have not happened. The ONLY advantage of all these events is that, Kamal fans are MORE proud to find Sir as a persom of high moral values, who will never fearback if something is wrong.
  
  So, i request all hubbers to avoid disussing this matter more and more. You may keep your personal veiws on Kamal Sir\Fans\Narpani Iyakka members ....n yourself. in the act of bringing our them, some hurting words may come out. we dont like them

  Nope, I don't have to defend anyone's statement; And yes, nobody is perfect. This includes Kamal and the fans who called hin ''nabigaL naayagam"! To be honest, I don't see a need for kamal to react angrily; perhaps a well worded statement to say 'stop' would have been preferable. And maybe fans should really think hard before creating religious based titles for him (sure, it shows your dedication to him, but has anyone thought that this may offend him or others who practice this religion?)
  
  Guys, one common thing I see in Kamal fans here, NO MATTER AT WHAT LEVEL YOU ADMIRE HIM, is that you acknowledge that he is an awesome actor, director and producer.
  
  He's also a private man (and I emphasise man) and is entitled to act and react according to the situation, just like anyone of us. He is prone to reacting in anger, just like anyone of us...in fact just like some of my fellow hubbers have reacted to my previous posts.
  
  It looks like there are 2 angry parties here- Kamal, who has reacted in anger, and fans who have reacted in anger at Kamal's anger.
  
  So, everyone take a deep breath (yes, you too Mr Kamal)............................................................................................................................and breathe out.
  
  There. Much better.
  
  
  
  So, Marmayogi is next on the cards. Anyone has any info on this?

  Thanks for the info; and yes, that's why I said that whether a profit was made or not is immaterial. I still say that people should be really careful when it comes to merchandising. (Damn cool t-shirts, too.)
  
  And yes, I agree that Kamal should not have made such a harsh public statement; hopefully he'll see this and hold a meeting with these fans and iron out the whole matter. I hope he sees that some fans are sad that their idol has chastised them.
  
  Overall, this is an unfortunate incident which has stemmed from a series of ill-planned actions and reactions.

  Message from a fan in Orkut community:
  <Aandavar's latest interview to Asianet>
  
  

  Quote:

  Kamal Ji's interview on Asianet news....... Dear friends........ Am feeling proud nd the same time a bit nervous bout making my first forum in this community....But,I could'nt resist trying 4 one after watching Kaml Ji's interview on Asianet plus almost an hour before...... The interview in fact is "very latest" nd was taken when Kamal Ji came 2 Kerala 4 publishing his new book in Malayalam..---"2 screenplays--Hey Ram n Mahanadhi"....In fact,the book was first published in Kerala... He praised a lot bout Kerala for giving him such an honour n respect 2 publish his books here...He also recollected that it was some Kerala movies which gave him the "initial pull'...( V know,later on he bcame the greatst actor in India).... Then he was asked bout nd hence said a lot bout his movie "Hey Ram"---wen he was asked wat all researches he did 4 this movie,he said that being a proud Indian he din have 2 do much research 4 this nd that gandhiji has unknowingly got into the soul of us Indians,,( hmmm...am a bit weak in communication,so cant give u the same spirit of hearing this from him..)...He said that,4 a foreigner like Richard Attenboro((who made the Movie -"Gandhi"))it wud have been necessary 2 do a large deal of research but 4 him,he knew almost evthng bout Gandhiji in his soul...!!! Even then,,,4 little research work he did,he mentioned thet he referred some foreign authors book...(sorry,I cudn remember). Wen asked bout the contoversies in Hey Ram movie he gave apt n clean cut answers 4 all thos questions......He said that some people criticized the climax of the muvi being substandard an almost like a Masala thriller,he said that even Eklavya being asked 4 his Thumb by Drona,nd Karma's denial of joining with Pandavas were classival thriller portions,but cant be considered as substandard...!!! He said that he wud like 2 name Hey Ram as his "Experiments with Truth".... Wen asked bout being an aethist he said that conveyed his thanx 2 his family who allowed him 2b the rationalist he is 2day...He said that his father believed in "Gandhi'ism" whereas his brother followed opposite idealogy and that he imbibed gud thiongs from both ideaology.... Wen asked bout portraying 2 differnt characters in the same frame in a same film(like in Alavandhan) he said that he enjoyed it well nd was evn a "psychotherapy" for him..He said that he even practised ventriquoilism(( pardon frenz---spelling mistakes'll b there)) for tha same pleasure..... Then wen asked bout God he said that he don think it necessary 2 "worship" God but at the same time he is ready 2 RESPECT GOD... Another interesting thing he mentioned is that 4 aiding SRK in dialogue deliveries inHey Ram,he used 2 paste big sheets wit dialogues in his forehead 4 SRK 2 read wen they both were acting 2gether in ascene.... He said that in the Modern day,Religion is a weapon,nd that Crusaders Like Bush r using it in a bad manner... So,frenz I have Just written some 25 % of things he told in this interview part bcoz I am not able 2 recollect thme instantly n part bcoz I cant convey some ideas thru words...Anywau,ther is the second portion of "Interview with Kamal"(( Prog name is On Record)) on Asianet news 2morrow nite bwee

However, we do compete, because it is business. But we are clear about being friends. As a matter of fact, we are also planning to make a film, which I will produce. He will act in it," added Hassan.

  Sakala,
  aana at the same time, i remember Sir talking positively about TN media in an interview to a NI paper, saying that the TN media respects his privacy... (referring perhaps to voyeuristic N.I magazines like stardust etc)...
  
  I think he customizes his interviews to the audiences, just like he customizes his English according to the audience

By Moviebuzz | Friday, 02 November , 2007, 10:13 Vijay TV celebrates the birthday of Pamashree Dr. Kamalhaasan the living legend of Indian cinema on November 7 in a unique manner. Having won 3 National Awards and acted over 100 films in over 40 years, Kamalhaasan still remains an exceptional artist for the mass audience.

  There was a half an hour program on Kamal on Vijay TV today(05 Nov) between 7Pm and 7.30Pm IST.
  
  Donno if they had advertised about this program before.Lucky to catch that accidently.
  
  Sharing Some intersting info from the program:-
  
  1)Kamal was born in a Palace (Ramanthappuram Palace).His mom was being taken to the hospital and since she had more pain on the way,they had to stop at the ramanathapuram palace,where they were allowed entry and eventually Kamal was born there.
  
  2) Kamal's Dad had a muslim friend with a second name as hassan,who was also a freedom fighter.Out of the affection towards him,he added hassan to his childrens' names.
  
  3)They showed Paramakkudi,the school that he studied in there.School rep said they had approached Kamal after he became a star and that Kamal sponsored for the complete renovation of the school buildings.
  
  4)Charuhassan said, their dad orginally wanted Kamal to become an IAS collector,but he turned out to be an actor.Charu said everyone who had known Kamal at that age felt he had it in him to have become a collector.
  
  5)AVM saravanan said, "Daisy Rani" was booked for kalathur kannamma.When Kamal was taken to Meyyappa chettiar by a common friend in 1959,Meyyappa chettiar was so impressed by the smartness of the kid and told his son to cast him in Kalathur kanamma instead of Daisy Rani,an established child artist then.Kamal eventually won National award for that movie.
  
  6)After acting alongside Gemini ganesan,Shivaji Ganesan and MGR, as a child artist,there was a break.Then he learnt different dances and after a stint with drama,he worked as Asst. director to dance master Thangappan and had worked for some movies.
  
  7)After Arangetram,apporva ragangal,moondru mudichu and 16 vayathinilae,he announced the inevitable to the world.
  
  8)Shruthi and Akshara raved about,Kamal,the father and said he really is a wonderful Dad and a model Dad any kid would long for.
  
  9)Gowthami was also raving about Kamal the father and also Kamal,the human being. Gowthamis' daughter added that Kamal is very friendly,affectionate and Funfilled.
  
  10) SanthanaBharathi said he and kamal were living in adjacent streets in chennai and that he had known him from then.
  
  I guess i had covered most of the info from the program.Cheers.

Kamal Haasan has been closely involved in health-related activities including altruistic organ donation for many years.

  The 'Al Pacino' of Indian cinema November 07, 2007 11:09 IST Last Updated: November 07, 2007 12:18 IST The 'Al Pacino' of Indian cinema, Kamal Hasan turned 53 today. But Hasan, one of the most successful actors from the south to make it big in Bollywood, has no plans to celebrate his birthday as yet, says a source close to the actor. "He has flown out of station," adds the source. In his career, Hasan has approached each role with equanimity. From portraying a candyfloss romantic hero running around trees in films like Ek Duje Ke liye and Sanam Tere Kasam to delving into the dark side of the human psyche in Abhay, he has portrayed every role with equal elan, brilliance and poise. Hasan, has essayed a variety of different roles in his film career spanned over 38 years but what sets him apart is that he is perhaps the only actor to have captured hearts of people in south Indian film industry while stamping his mark in Bollywood. A still from NayakanWhether playing an unemployed youth in the 1988 silent movie Pushpak or flaunting a sari in Chachi 420, Kamal Hasan's excellence in roleplay never failed to leave a mark in the minds of audiences. He is one of the few film personalities who has tried his hands in all aspects of film making, be it direction, lyrics, choreography, screenplay or story writing. He has also lent his voice to a number of songs in films like Abhay, Chachi 420, Hey Ram, Sadma in Hindi and many more in south Indian languages. Born on November 7, 1954, Hasan is one of the few actors who always believed in experimentation. He used animation in Abhay, went under the plastic surgeon's scalpel for his role as a freedom fighter in Tamil flick Indian and is playing ten characters in the soon to be released Dasavatham. A still from the Kannada movie, Rama Bhama ShamaHasan, a four-time National Film Award winner, began his career as a child artist and initially did a lot of stage plays. His repertoire now boasts more than two hundred Indian films. He was awarded India's fourth highest civilian honour, the Padma Shri for his services to Indian cinema in 1990. His film, Nayakan, which won 18 Filmfare awards, has been rated as one of the top 100 films of all time by Time magazine in 2005. Moreover, he is the only actor to have seven of his films being nominated as official entry to the Oscars and also has been awarded 'Living legend in film business' by FICCI this year.

  Kamala Hasan turns 53 today New Delhi (PTI): The 'Al Pacino' of Indian cinema, Kamala Hasan, who is awaiting the release of his much touted Tamil film, 'Dasavataram', turns 53 on Wednesday. The four-time National Film Award winner had no public events and preferred to keep his birthday low-profile, said a source close to the actor. "He has flown out of station," the source adds. In his film career spanning 38 years, Kamal, a big name in the south, has attained stature even in the Hindi film industry and is known for approaching every role with equanimity irrespective of the language of the film. Whether it is the simple village lad 'Chappani' in Bharathirajaa's 'Pathinaru Vayathinile'(16 years), with pan-greased teeth and undone hair, or the psychopath killer in 'Alavandan' or the quadruplets in 'Michael Madanakama Rajan,' Kamal has been game for experimenting. Starting his career under celebrated director K Balachander, who carved out some of the most experimental movies in Kollywood, Kamal has come a long way, from being a chocolate boy, to a man whose second name is experiment. So, it is no exception that now in his much-hyped 'Dasavatharam', he is not only playing ten different roles, but has also dubbed for them in ten different dictions and voices. Kamal is one of the few actors who did not confine himself to just commercial cinema. His 'Salangai Oli,' a tribute to traditional dance, or 'Thvar Magan', one which portrayed the bloody rivalry among families in rural Tamil Nadu, are a few examples. From portraying a candy floss romantic hero running around trees in films like 'Ek Duje Ke liye' and 'Sanam Tere Kasam' to delving into the dark side of the human psyche in 'Abhay', or flaunting a saree in 'Chachi 420', he has portrayed every role with equal elan, brilliance and poise and his excellence in role play never fails to leave a mark in audiences' minds. As a director, his innovative, back and forth narrative style in 'Virumaandi' won accolades from various quarters for the script. Even his role in 'Apoorva Sagot Arargal', where he played a short clown remains his biggest secret till date as nobody knows how he did it. If superstar Rajnikanth enjoyed his share of international popularity by starring in the Indo-US venture 'Bloodstone', Kamal won hearts with his 'Pushpak', a film sans dialogue, where he portrayed the pain of poverty and the effect of gaining sudden wealth. A leftist-inclined Kamal also gave screen life to his ideals, in the Sundar C directed 'Anbe Sivam'. A trade unionist, and a painter by profession, the actor sported a scarred face, limped through most of the film, and finally succeeded in winning the hearts of his antagonisers as well as his fans. Known for his comic timing, the universal hero has tickled many a rib in his comedies such as 'Michael Madana Kama Rajan', 'Pammal K Sambandam', 'Vasool Raja MBBS' and a few other movies which gave ample proof that he could also handle comedy with ease, one quality that he shares with Rajnikanth.

  Quote:

  Indian Al Pacino 'Kamal Hasan' is 53 7 Nov, 2007, 1035 hrs IST, PTI NEW DELHI: The 'Al Pacino' of Indian cinema, Kamal Hasan turned 53 on Wednesday. But Hasan, one of the most successful actors from the south to make it big in Bollywood, has no plans to celebrate his birthday as yet, says a source close to the actor. "He has flown out of station," adds the source. In his career, Hasan has approached each role with equanimity. From portraying a candyfloss romantic hero running around trees in films like 'Ek Duje Ke liye' and 'Sanam Tere Kasam' to delving into the dark side of the human psyche in 'Abhay', he has portrayed every role with equal elan, brilliance and poise. Hasan, has essayed a variety of different roles in his film career spanned over 38 years but what sets him apart is that he is perhaps the only actor to have captured hearts of people in south Indian film industry while stamping his mark in Bollywood. Whether playing an unemployed youth in the 1988 silent movie 'Pushpak' or flaunting a saree in Chachi 420, Kamal Hasan's excellence in roleplay never failed to leave a mark in the minds of audiences. He is one of the few film personalities who has tried his hands in all aspects of film making, be it direction, lyrics, choreography, screenplay or story writing. He has also lent his voice to a number of songs in films like 'Abhay,' 'Chachi 420,' 'Hey Ram,' 'Sadma' in Hindi and many more in south Indian languages. Born on November 7, 1954, Hasan is one of the few actors who has always believed in experimentation. He used animation in 'Abhay,' went under the plastic surgeon's scalpel for his role as a freedom fighter in Tamil flick 'Indian' and is playing ten characters in the soon to be released 'Dasavatham.' Hasan, a four time National Film Award winner, began his career as a child artist and intially did a lot of stage plays. His repertoire now boasts more than two hundred Indian films. He was awarded India's fourth highest civilian honour, the Padma Shri for his services to Indian cinema in 1990. His film, 'Nayakan', which won 18 Filmfare awards, has been rated as one of the top 100 films of all time by 'Time' magazine in 2005. Moreover, he is the only actor to have seven of his films being nominated as official entry to the Oscars and also has been awarded 'Living legend in film business' by FICCI this year.

  yesterday night, Vijay TV had a show wherein 4 poets recited some very nice poems in praise of Ulaga Nayagan.
  The pick of the lot was Kapilan . Kamal was there to mention few words about the poets also.
  Overall, it was a nice show . First of its kind probably ?

  Excerpt from Orkut Post, Kamalji confirms that talks are on, regarding Producing Rajni Movie...
  

  Quote:

  When asked about if he is producing a movie it Rajini? He confirmed that talks are on and if it works out it will be a 100% rajini film and he will not act.He said that rajini film has to be a rajini film.He doesnt want to act b'cause then the question of who gets more screen space between them and he said if we "both" are like institutions...I am my institution and dont want to let my fans down and rajini is capable of carrying the load of a film on his own shoulders and he doesnot want to shift the balance in anyway.

  
  
  He also confirmed this, talks are on, in vikatan interview too. But its not yet decided, looks like. Still in discussion

  It is mentioned that kamal has done 200 films. Kamal himslef mentioned so during the aalavandhan launch but I have read in mags that the number is only around 173 or so.
  
  It was expected that he would be in chennai to celebrate his birthday, but he disapppointed his fans by flying out of town.

  The asst director has given a detailed interview in JV where he has accused kamal of threatening to kill him.
  
  He also said that he would release his story as a book before the release of DV & this will prove that DV story is his.
  
  He says that when he first met kamal & narrated the story, kaml gave him Rs.501 & told him that he would be taken as asst director for the film & his name would appear in the credits as the story writer of the film.
  
  Subsequently he was shocked to see the ad in the papers that DV shooting was to start. When he wnet to kamal's office, he was refused entry & was driven away.

  Nerd/Omega,
  Devar Magan has given a very sensible reply to the "points" you have raised IMO.
  
  1. JV is not the only article to post this news. Others have done it and more will follow
  
  2. JV has "reported" a news that happened - Senthil Kumar has accussed Kamal of something and he has filed a case. We all know about the veracity of his "accusations" and his previous allegations have been proved to be a bundle of horse manure by the judiciary.
  This current accusation will also be proved no doubt, but we have to wait till that time.
  
  3. The news about Sivaji's loss (in some areas) has not only been reported by JV. Other magazines and papers have also carried similar reports, including India Today. Moreover, other friends/known people have mentioned similar info (TN/Kerala etc)
  
  4. Whether JV's article has its own point of view in the Sivaji article or not, it does NOT have its POV in the Senthil Kumar issue. So, its pointless to ask "DM, do you believe this story of JV?". Its not just JV, its a "news REPORT" and JV does not have any spin on it.
  
  5. In Kamal's case, on two occasions, the *judiciary* has proved that the accusations are rubbish. ie, its a black and white FACT.
  Can the Sivaji team do the same about those stories? They don't have to, but then i'm just saying that there's no merit or logic in the questions you are raising.
  On our side, the judiciary will give an answer which give the *proof* to you and Senthil Kumar, Kalai Poonai Dhaanu etc. On the other hand......

  Senthil Kumar has filed a case of kolai mirattal against Kamal.
  We dont deny that the case has been filed.... the article doesnt say anything more.. JV is not the judiciary...This article is 100% true!

  The fact remains that Kamal won the case, and the guy who filed the case resorts to false accusations (backed by doyens), to bring Kamal down. But we're talking about a man who has faced million issues all his life, and came out as a winner, so I suspect whether it's going to be different...

  CR,
  
  My argument is not about whether the article did come in JV or not.
  Is the life threatening accusation by Senthilkumar true or not??
  
  I am not saying that, I am believing it either...
  
  But to say that, this Senthil kumar has already been proved to be a fraud in the Story copy case, doesn't mean that the life threatening accusation is also false (it may end up that way, but we have to wait for the verdict).
  
  On the other hand the article about Sivaji's loss...
  Here again I am neither denying it nor accepting it. Yes no one has a clue....
  
  By the same note, can anyone say that this whole article is not true, since we know how successfull SS's last movie was (CM) so all this is trash???? No right......
  
  That exactly was my point.
  
  We all can use media in the way that we want...........

  கமல் எடுத்த இலக்கிய விழா!
  -புவியரசுக்கு புகழுரை
  
  கமல் எடுத்த இலக்கிய அவதாரம் அது. மைலாப்பூரின் மாலை நேரங்கள் ஆன்மீக விழாக்களைதான் பெரும்பாலும் பார்த்திருக்கும். அதையெல்லாம் விஞ்சிய இலக்கிய விழாவாக இருந்தது கமல் என்ற கவிஞன், புவியரசு என்ற பெருங்கவிஞனுக்கு எடுத்த விழா.
  
  வங்காள கவிஞன் நஸ்ரூ இஸ்லாமின் கவிதைகளை தமிழில் மொழி பெயர்த்தமைக்காக கவிஞர் புவியரசுவுக்கு சாகித்ய அகடமி விருது கொடுத்து கௌரவிக்கப்பட்டது. இந்த விருதை பெறுவதற்காக டெல்லிக்கு செல்லவில்லை புவியரசு. ஆனாலும் தபால் மூலம் அந்த விருது அனுப்பி வைக்கப்பட்டது. இலக்கிய ஜாம்வான்களான திருஞானசம்பந்தன், கவிக்கோ அப்துல்ரகுமான், எழுத்தாளர் திலகவதி ஆகியோர் முன்னிலை வகிக்க சாகித்ய அகடமி விருதை புவியரசுவுக்கு வழங்கினார் கமல்.
  
  திரண்டிருந்த தொலைக்காட்சி, இணையதள ஒளிப்பதிவாளர்களிடம் 'இப்போது நீங்கள் எடுத்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறீர்களே, இதுதான் நல்ல படம். இதற்கு யாரிடமும் ரைட்ஸ் வாங்க வேண்டாம். இஷ்டம் போல் ஒளிபரப்புங்கள்' என்று கேட்டுக் கொண்டார் கமல். தான் எழுதிய கவிதை ஒன்றை மேடையில் அவர் வாசிக்க, வாசிக்க, புல்லரித்து கரகோஷம் எழுப்பியது அரங்கம்! சாகித்ய அகடமி விருது வாங்கிய கவிஞர் புவியரசே, கமலின் கவிதைகள் தனக்கு இன்ஸ்பிரேஷனாக இருந்ததென குறிப்பிட்டது அதிகப்படியான புகழுரை அல்ல என்பதையே உணர்த்தியது கமலின் கவிதை.
  
  ஹேராம், மருதநாயகம் போன்ற படங்களின் கதை விவாதத்தில் கலந்து கொண்டவராம் இந்த புவியரசு. கோவை உள்ளிட்ட பல்வேறு நகரங்களில் மாணவர்களுக்கு நல்ல சினிமா எது என்பதை சொல்லிக் கொடுத்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறாராம் 80 வயதை தொட்டுக் கொண்டிருக்கும் இந்த இளைஞர்.
  
  கமல் தன்னுடைய கவிதைகளை புத்தகமாக வெளியிட வேண்டும். இல்லையென்றால் நாங்கள் அவர் வீட்டின் முன் தர்ணா செய்வோம் என்று சற்று சீரியஸாகவே குறிப்பிட்டார் விழாவில் கலந்து கொண்ட கவிக்கோ அப்துல்ரஹ்மான்.
  
  இதுபோன்ற இலக்கியவாதிகள் அருகில் இருக்கும்போது, மறுபடியும் மய்யம் இதழை துவங்கினால் என்ன? என்றார் கமல். தனது ரசிகர் மன்றம் சார்பில் கமல் நடத்திவந்த இலக்கிய இதழ்தான் இந்த மய்யம். கமலை மையமாக வைத்து இலக்கியவாதிகள் சுற்றிக் கொண்டிருக்கும்போது, மய்யம் என்ன, காலச்சுவடுகளே கூட நடத்தலாம் கமல்!

  ``நான் தனி ஆள் அல்ல...எனக்கு பெரும் கூட்டம் இருக்கிறது''
  நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் பேச்சு
  
  
  சென்னை, நவ.21-
  
  ``நான் தனி ஆள் அல்ல...எனக்கு பெரும் கூட்டம் இருக்கிறது'' என்று நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் கூறினார்.
  
  பாராட்டு விழா
  
  `புரட்சிக்காரன்' என்ற மொழிபெயர்ப்பு நூலுக்காக சாகித்ய அகடமி விருது பெற்ற கவிஞர் புவியரசுக்கு, கமலஹாசன் நற்பணி மன்றம் சார்பில் பாராட்டு விழா, சென்னையில் நடந்தது.
  
  விழாவில், மத்திய அரசு வழங்கிய சாகித்ய அகடமி விருதை, கமலஹாசன் கையினால் கவிஞர் புவியரசு பெற்றுக்கொண்டார்.
  
  கோவை வானொலி நிலைய இயக்குனர் கமலநாதன், பேராசிரியர் ஞானசம்பந்தம், கவிக்கோ அப்துல்ரகுமான், போலீஸ் அதிகாரி திலகவதி ஆகியோர் புவியரசுவை பாராட்டி பேசினார்கள். பாராட்டுக்கு நன்றி தெரிவித்து புவியரசு பேசினார்.
  
  கமலஹாசன் பேச்சு
  
  விழாவில் நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் கலந்துகொண்டு சிறப்புரை ஆற்றினார். அவர் பேசியதாவது:-
  
  ``எனக்கு 21 வயது இருக்கும்போது, கவிஞர் புவியரசு என்னை வந்து சந்தித்தார். அன்று தொடங்கிய நட்பு இன்றுவரை எங்களுக்குள் தொடர்கிறது. அப்போதே உலக சினிமா பற்றி என்னிடம் அவர் நிறைய பேசினார். எங்கள் நற்பணி மன்றத்தில் வெட்கப்படாமல் தன்னை இணைத்துக்கொண்டார். நற்பணி மன்றம் சார்பில் `மய்யம்' இதழ் வெளிவருவதற்கு காரணம் அவர்தான்.
  
  சிறந்த கவிஞர்களையும், இலக்கியவாதிகளையும் தேர்வு செய்து, எங்கள் நற்பணி மன்றம் சார்பில் இதுபோன்ற விழாக்கள் தொடர்ந்து நடத்தப்படும். மறுபதிப்புகள் வெளிவராமல் ஒரே பதிப்புடன் நின்றுவிடும் நல்ல நூல்களை தேடி வெளியிடவும் முயற்சி மேற்கொள்வோம். `மய்யம்' இதழ் மீண்டும் வெளியிடப்படும்.
  
  கவிதை நூல்
  
  நான் எழுதிய கவிதைகளை நூலாக வெளியிட வேண்டும் என்று இங்கே பேசியவர்கள் சொன்னார்கள். அரைத்த மாவு என்று சொல்லிவிடுவார்களோ என்று எனக்கு கொஞ்சம் வெட்கம். மற்ற கவிஞர்களின் சாயல் இருக்குமோ என்ற தயக்கம் இருந்தது.
  
  என் அப்பாவுடைய மூக்கும், என் அம்மாவுடைய கண்களும் எனக்கு இருப்பதில் ஆச்சரியம் ஒன்றும் இல்லை. அதுபோல்தான் கவிதையும். முன்னோடிகளின் சாயல் இருப்பதில் தப்பு இல்லை என்று கருதுகிறேன். சின்ன வயதிலேயே நான், கண்ணதாசனிடம் என் கவிதைகளை படித்துக் காட்டியிருக்கிறேன்.
  
  எங்க அப்பா சீனிவாசன் பெரிய நாமம் போட்டு இருப்பார். ஆனால் நானும் நாமம் போடவேண்டும் என்று என்னை அவர் வற்புறுத்தவில்லை. நாமம் ஏன் போடவேண்டும் என்று என் தந்தையிடமே நான் வாதம் செய்து இருக்கிறேன். அவர் என் வாதத்தில் இருக்கும் நியாயத்தை கேட்டுக்கொள்வார். வக்கீல் அல்லவா?
  
  பெரும் கூட்டம்
  
  என் மனதுக்குள் ஒரு அரசியல் இருக்கிறது. என்னை புரியாதவர்களுக்கு அது புரியாது. நான் தனி ஆள் அல்ல. பெரும் கூட்டம் எனக்கு இருக்கிறது. கவிஞர்கள், இலக்கியவாதிகள் என நிறைய பேர் என்னை சுற்றி இருக்கிறார்கள்.
  
  நான் எழுதிய கவிதைகளை 6 மாதங்களுக்குள் வெளியிட வேண்டும் என்று கவிக்கோ அப்துல்ரகுமான் என்னை அன்பால் மிரட்டிவிட்டு போனார். குழந்தை பெற்றுக்கொள்வதற்கே பத்து மாதம் தேவைப்படுகிறது. என்றாலும் கவிக்கோ அப்துல்ரகுமான் கொடுத்த இந்த குறுகிய கால கெடுவுக்குள், என் கவிதை நூலை வெளியிட முயற்சி செய்வேன்.
  
  மருத நாயகம்
  
  `தசாவதாரம்' படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு முடிந்துவிட்டது. இப்போது இறுதிகட்ட வேலைகள் நடைபெறுகின்றன. பாடல்கள் வெளியீட்டு விழா மிக விரைவில் நடைபெறும்.
  
  `மருதநாயகம்' படத்தை மீண்டும் தொடங்குவதற்கான முயற்சி மேற்கொள்ளப்படும்.''
  
  இவ்வாறு கமலஹாசன் கூறினார்.
  
  விழாவில் கவிஞர் நா.முத்துக்குமார், டைரக்டர் ராமதாஸ், நடிகர் வையாபுரி ஆகியோர் கலந்துகொண்டார்கள்.
  
  விழாவுக்கான ஏற்பாடுகளை கமலஹாசன் நற்பணி மன்ற நிர்வாகிகள் குணசீலன், கோவை தங்கவேல், மக்கள் தொடர்பாளர் நிகில் முருகன் ஆகியோர் செய்து இருந்தார்கள்.

  கமல் எழுதிய கவிதை
  கவிஞர் புவியரசுக்கு நடந்த பாராட்டு விழாவில், தான் எழுதிய கவிதை ஒன்றை மேடையில் வாசித்தார் கமல்.
  
  
  
  (தமிழ்சினிமா.காம்)
  
  மனித வணக்கம்
  
  தாயே, என் தாயே!
  நான்
  உரித்த தோலே
  அறுத்த கொடியே
  குடித்த முதல் முலையே,
  என் மனையாளின்
  மானசீகச் சக்களத்தி, சரண்.
  
  தகப்பா, ஓ தகப்பா!
  நீ என்றோ உதறிய மை
  படர்ந்தது கவிதைகளாய் இன்று
  புரியாத வரியிருப்பின் கேள்!
  பொழிப்புரை நான் சொல்லுகின்றேன்.
  
  தமயா, ஓ தமயா!
  என் தகப்பனின் சாயல் நீ
  அச்சகம் தான் ஒன்றிங்கே
  அர்த்தங்கள் வெவ்வேறு
  
  தமக்காய், ஓ தமக்காய்!
  தோழி, தொலைந்தே போனாயே
  துணை தேடி போனாயோ?
  
  மனைவி, ஓ காதலி!
  நீ தாண்டாப் படியெல்லாம்
  நான் தாண்டக்குமைந்திடுவாய்
  சாத்திரத்தின் சூட்சுமங்கள் புரியும்வரை.
  
  மகனே, ஓ மகனே!
  என் விந்திட்ட விதையே
  செடியே, மரமே, காடே
  மறுபிறப்பே
  மரண சௌகர்யமே, வாழ்!
  
  மகளே, ஓ மகளே!
  நீயும் என் காதலியே
  எனதம்மை போல..
  எனைபிரிந்தும் நீயின்பம் காண்பாயா?
  இல்லை,
  காதலித்த கணவனுக்குள் எனைத் தேடுவாயா?
  
  நண்பா, ஓ நண்பா!
  நீ செய்த நட்பெல்லாம்
  நான் செய்த அன்பின் பலன்
  இவ்விடமும் அவ்விதமே.
  
  பகைவா, ஓ பகைவா!
  உன் ஆடையெனும் அகந்தியுடன்
  எனதம்மணத்தைக் கேலி செய்வாய்.
  நீ உடுத்தி நிற்கும் ஆடைகளே
  உனதம்மணத்தின் விளம்பரங்கள்.
  
  மதமென்றும், குலமென்றும்
  நீ வைத்த துணிக்கடைகள்
  நிர்மூலமாகி விடும்
  நிர்வாணமே தங்கும்.
  
  வாசகா, ஓ வாசகா!
  என் சமகால சகவாசி,
  வாசி!
  புரிந்தால் புன்னகை செய்.
  புதிரென்றால் புருவம் உயர்த்து.
  பிதற்றல் எனத்தோன்றின்
  பிழையும் திருத்து.
  எனது கவி உனதும்தான்.
  
  ஆம்,
  நாளை உன் வரியில் நான் தெரிவேன்.

  Supreme Court issues notice to Kamal Hassan Friday, 23 November , 2007, 00:54 Last Updated: Friday, 23 November , 2007, 00:58 New Delhi: The Supreme Court has issued a notice to noted actor Kamal Hassan who claimed Income Tax deductions in a matter related to transfer of overseas telecast rights of his film "Kuruthi Punal. A Bench, headed by Justice Ashok Bhan, sought response from the actor on a petition filed by the Income Tax department and tagged the matter with a similar petition of AA Nadiadwala pending before it. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and the Madras High Court, while ruling in favour of Hassan, had observed that transfer of telecast rights could be described as an article or thing within the meaning of "goods" and "merchandise." The Tribunal also held that Beta cam tape which had incorporeal rights would fall under "goods" for the purposes of claiming deductions under Section 80 HHC of the Income Tax Act. While challenging the High Court judgment that allowed deductions of Rs 54.50 lakh to Hassan, additional solicitor general Vikas Singh said the actor was not entitled to deductions as there was only transfer of rights of telecast and no export of goods or merchandise had taken place.

  Nothing to worry. I am sure he would have done as per the advice of his Accountant/Auditor and the Income Tax Department with proper reasons and documentation. If he has declared everything to the Income Tax Department, there is no much problem. I think it's just a matter of 'interpretation' of the Tax Law and in some cases it's vague and can be taken in different ways.

  Because he is one of those very few cine personalities who always settles his tax dues promptly and the whole world knows about it. So it becomes a BIG news when something different happens.

  அம்மையினையும் அப்பனையும்,மனைவியையும் பற்றி பட்டினத்தார் முதல் பலர் வைதும் வாழ்த்தியும் பாடக் கேட்டதுண்டு!
  
  இப்படி மூலை என்றும், மை என்றும், அச்சு என்றும் சிற்றின்பக் கவி பாடும் சிலரும் உண்டு! வயது முதிர்ந்தும், மனம் பக்குவப்படாத இவர்கல் வெம்பிய பிஞ்சுகளா?

Others who will grace the festival venue include the Turkish director Abdullah Orguz and the Iranian director Mania Akbari. Littin and Kamal Hassan will be in Thiruvananthapuram as special guests for the festival, a statement said. As many as 59 directors from 33 countries will grace the 12th IFFK. And it’s not just filmmakers, five big production houses also will make a beeline for Thiruvananthapuram. Celluloid Dreams, Sony Pictures, Wild Bunch, Pioniwa Films and Fortissimo are dropping in at the festival to probe the possibility of marketing regional films, including Malayalam ones, the statement said. They will interact with producers in Kerala and cinema organisations at a seminar on December 10. Representatives from 31 international festivals too will swoop in on Thiruvananthapuram to select films. French films at IFFK: Six French films that tell the stories of commoners, particularly travails faced by the younger generation and struggles against injustice, will be screened at the IFFK. The films are; Eric Guirado’s When You Come Down from Heaven; Malik Chibane’s Nearby Neighbours; Philippe Faucon’s Samia; Pierre Jolivet’s Zim and Co; Rabah Amear-Zaimeche’s Wesh Wesh What’s Happening and Valerie Minetto’s Forgetting Cheyenne. In When You Come Down from Heaven, the audience meet a young man struggling against life’s bitter handouts. Nearby Neighbours is about a musician who revitalises a society that is facing degeneration through his music.

  Kamal to inaugurate Kerala film fest IndiaGlitz [Friday, December 07, 2007] A riot of colours and rhythms featuring the folk arts of Kerala would mark the beginning of the 12th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), in Thiruvananthapurm today (Dec 7). The festival, organized by the state Folklore Academy, would be inaugurated by actor Kamal Haasan at the Nisagandhi open air auditorium. Chilean director Miguel Littin would be the chief guest at the function. The festival would open with "Buddha collapsed out of shame", a film set in Bamian in Afghanistan and directed by Hanna Makmalbaf, younger daughter of renowned Iranian director Mohsen Makmalbaf. "Buddha" is an exotic and frightening journey into the minds of children who live in the desolate land. A total of 238 films from 58 countries would be screened at the eight-day event, which also includes retrospectives of Spanish film-maker Pedro Almodovar and Czech director Jiri Menzel. Menzel, who was to head the jury of the competition section which includes 14 films, was replaced by Iranian director Jafar Panahi. Rigoberto Lopez (Cuba), Naki Sy Savene (Africa), Agnieska (Poland) and Bollywood actor Nasiruddin Shah are the other members of the jury. The FIPRESCI (Federation of International Film Critics Associations) jury is headed by journalist Sheila Johnston while Anne Dem Geroe, founder executive of Brisbane festivals, heads the NETPAC (Network for Promotion of Asian Films) jury. The 'Suvarna Chakoram' (Golden Pheasant) award for the best film carries a cash prize of Rs 10 lakh while the second best film award, a silver pheasant, carries a purse of Rs three lakhs.

  here in bangalore, he is extremely popular, inspite of he never acted in any kannada movies for 18 years[the gap btw Ramashamabama and his last but one kannada movie is 18 years]
  
  malayalam ppl call him nammade kamalhaasan. see all these respect comes in a period where kamal didnt feed them movies in their native language. see Tn ppl's mentality here...pity

  Kamal is more popular than any other south indian actors in Sri Lanka among sinhala speaking crowd. He became so popular during 80's with his mega success films like Guru, (which ran 365 days house full scene) Ekthuje Keliya, Sanam Theri Kasam, Sagar, Sathya......
  
  Ofcourse few sinhala actors try to immitage Kamal Hassan and few openly accept that he is their Role model.

  I find it really hard to believe your criticism about Tamilians.
  You have to remember that KH is what he is, only because of Tamil cinema lovers. Just because couple of your north indian friends recognize him, doesn't mean that he is getting the credit from other states more than TN.
  
  I am not sure if any of his movies that bombed in TN did well in other states (like Anbe Sivam, Hey Ram, Alavandhan, MX etc etc..).
  If that had happen'd you may have a case here, but I don't recall any such. May be I have misunderstood your statement.......

  Thilak,
  North Indians acknowledge kamal is a great actor ,but do they celebrate him as they celebrate Amita Bachan?
  
  In TN also ,majority (including 90% Rajini fans) have a opinion that kamal is the greatest actor now ,but celebrating some other has many reasons .

  So the grudge is only because there is a bigger celebrity than KH in TN cinema right? Like Joe said, everyone in TN acknowledges that KH is the best actor available in India. What about my other question? Did few of his movies that bombed in TN do exceptionally well in other states? If so I can understand.
  
  Also other state people will only recognize, are they really looking forward to his movies & making it a grand success every time??

  I have to agree with this. Kamal may not have got his due for his talent here, but that does not mean he might have been given more credit elsewhere. More precisely, I don't think he would have held the same mass appeal, so crucial to making quality movies.

  I go with Sakala/Thilak for the following simple reasons:
  
  1. 10 Tamilians support panradhula aachariyam enna? Matha state kaaran (avan rendu peru mattum irundhaa kooda) panraan paarunga, adhu dhaan matter!
  2. Let me go one step further and say ""ïdhellam enna perumaya?? Kadamai! Ovvoru Thamizhanoda kadamai!""
  3. Malayalees, Kannadigas, Mana Vaadu's and even North Indians (to a little extent Bengalis) have aptly rewarded Aandavar (rightfully) with commercial success. So, saying "Yeah, Kamal is a super actor but... blah blah blah"is not a valid point. OK, sameeba kaalathula avalavu sirappa illa but still...
  4. Do you think he gets what is rightfully due for him here in TN? Aw, come on!!!!
  
  P.S: Not for a minute am i claiming that his popularity is > in other states. My point is different....

  What kamal today is because of Tamizh Makkal.... Thats the saddest part...
  The attempts he makes in cinema...The unconventional roles he has played so far...The multi-talented personality that he is...The criticism he undergoes...His successes doesnt get the deserved acclaim..His failures are loomed in large...At the end of the day u need 2 be a kamal(for the guts) to do what he does today...
  
  I can never accept the position in what he is today . He needs(deserves) to be in an even higher place..

  i cant stop adding to this post, 1st of all, bala, thanks and for agreeing wiht me. those buthisaalis who say abd BO in other states, 1st of all i didnt talk abt BO but the respect and adirability, acceptability, thinking him as one among us, thats nammavar, et all.
  
  WITHOUT GIVING BO HITS IN OTHER STATES ITSELF, he is given this nammavar position in other states. MIND YOU< HE IS NOT SEEN AS A VISIROT\NEIGHBOURING STATE ACTOR in kerala and telugu but nammade kamalahaasan and nmanavaadu.
  
  and you want proof? just try to count how many times he flew to kerala recently to get respectful awards and accolodes...and remember how old is his direct mallu film in kerala
  
  watch his recent iterview he gave to telugu channel to find that he is treated as an insider of tollywood and not as a visitor. the anchor refers him as the ONLY GENIUS OF OUR FILM INDUSTRY
  
  and, with giving bo hits itself[and loads of other goodies] he is not seen that high in TN. go out and tell to 10 ppl that kamal campaigns for support of AIDS affected ppl in TN and appointed as ambasador of UNO. that 10 ppl must be those who werenot aware of this(u can easily find such ) 8 out of them will ridicule him by connecting\commenting his personal life. and THAT IS TN for you and me

  I am still not getting your point. Who is speaking or portraying ill of his other skills....He commands great respect from all the leading politicians within TN. There is no animosity by any party members against him etc etc....
  
  May be I think you are referring to the appeal that he has among ladies, which we can't help, as that is were his offscreen activities play a major part. That is something to do with our culture I would guess (if that is what you are mentioning).

  Atleast he is appreciated in other states for his movies...But look at what they talk of him here..And first of all can u answer why these movies didnt run here ? Whats wrong with those movies ?.. Dont u think there is an inherent fault in the system here? ..
  
  Remember his saagar sangamam, swathy muthyam, pushpak etc were from telugu...Then imagine his reach in other states...

  Sakala,
  
  I was under the impression that your concerns were something beyond success rates of KH movies and popularity but now it looks different with your respohses to Omega. Anyway, I think Bala had put it somewhat clearly and that's what I think what Feddy and Thilak are also trying to say. But I do see it a little beyond the 'number of hits'. Not that I'm totally disregarding it.

  The "prestige" value of Kamal in other states is comparatively beyond what our cheapos give in Tamil nadu. The other state people aren't foolish enough to sit and whine about the box office status of Kamal's experimental films, or about his personal life. Agreed that these other state audience have their own double standards to their state stars, but thats beside the point. The same can be expressed with our young hippie crowd who share an affinity for anything from hollywood, and rule out Tamil cinema eyes closed.

  ஆனால் மற்ற மாநிலங்களிலுள்ள மேல்தட்டு மக்களும் ,சில அமைப்புகளும் கமலுக்கு கொடுக்கும் அங்கீகாரத்தை மட்டும் வைத்து தமிழகத்தை விட மற்ற மாநில மக்கள் கமலை கொண்டாடுகிறார்கள் என்று நீங்கள் வாதிடுவதை என்னால் ஏற்க முடியவில்லை..அவ்வளவே!

  I think Kamal is in a better state than NT "comparatively". Kamal learnt a lot from NT on how to avoid mediocre directors. NT's role selection brings tears to our eyes, for an exceptional talent was wasted by directors who had no proper aesthetic sense. Kamal's advantage was his own writing, and directing, which has made him shine over the mediocrity. Kamal is an auteur, multifaceted, and will end up being one of the best film personality in India, I would even stick my head out to say the best in terms of all round capabilities.

  The issue is not of "grudge" though one would be tempted to infer so from our posts. It's not just a question of an individual Kamal or Rajini. I will show the same anger towards Tamils who didn't embrace Rajini , The Actor, when he was in sublime form early on.

  Seeman is a fan of Aandavar and addresses Him as "Thalaivar" (i've seen this in one of his interviews)
  
  P.S: oru murai Devi theater la Aandavar bhakthakodigalodu ninnutrukkumbodhu (at the time of Thambi release), Seeman and a group of men came to the theater - all dressed in black Che T-shirts.. pullarichufying!

  Personal Life:
  1. If the issue is women,
  (a) We don't know what happened in others' bedroom
  (b) Its indecent to peep into somebody's bedroom
  (c) Aandavar is not the only one in tinsel town who has a bedroom with something going on.
  "Let the man who has not sinned cast the first stone"
  (d) More importantly, who gave us the franchise to pass judgment based on bedroom behavior? If this is the criteria, then certain god's names will be sullied by blasphemy!
  
  2. One who doesn't wear a mask, one who is a "man born in a soozhal of timidity but with a character of courage" (to quote BR), one who is consistent with his principles but yet not so rigid as to avoid change, one who is the Lord Of Social Concern and Welfare, one who introduced "narpani iyakkam" in word and deed, who was so naive in financial matters that he has been done in by a few producers/distributors, one who lives for cinema (his profession), one who lives in a rented house while being the second highest paid actor in the state, one whose marriage was rocked (possibly) because of financial reasons, one who would rather be harsh with some fans and risk losing them for upholding his principles rather than being nice to them, sacrificing his principles - what the f is wrong with the personal side of such a man, i will never know

  CR, Seeman also talks of Thankar, and how they share the principles for "thamizh" or thamizh-ness. Seeman acted for Thankar in Pallikoodam. By-the-by Seeman even talks about Cheran kingdom, and mainly the evolution of other languages from Thamizh. (I hope this triggers a new discourse)

  As Cheeman mentioned , விளி (கூப்பிடு) ,பறை (சொல் அல்லது பேசு) ,நோக்கு (பார்) ,சோறு (சாதம்) இப்படி உண்மையான தமிழ் வார்த்தைகளை மலையாளிகள் தான் கட்டிக் காத்து வருகிறார்கள்.

  That's the thing. I think people like Seeman who crib about loss of Thamizh, wants to twice check the liberal radical changes to the language/culture. Or just whine about the adulterated culture. (btw, whats the thing with his mention of 'terrorism' equated to such movements, )

  Haven't read widely about Che. Just some of his speeches, which are very different from Castro's theatrical ones. Every single book on Che is a hagiography that puts me off and I never get to read it completely. I saw one in the Barnes and Noble here titled "exposing the Real Che". Typical American. Plan to read it in the in-house Starbucks sometime. Typical desi
  
  Coming to Seeman. I have heard him talk somewhere else too. He comes across as a kind of neo-Luddite. A kind of "jagathinai azhithiduvOm" anger coupled with
  
  Senguttuvan en PeriyappA was I have my opinions about this assumptions about the continuity of the Tamil society and the branching offs being considered 'unfortunate occurrences'. Kannadigas may even contest the branching off theory in the first place But I do see what he is saying. It was hilarious to see the (remote) interviewer asking questions interspersed with English.
  
  Most of his points about speaking Tamil as it is, is quite valid. I made a slow start here with NanRi instead of "thank you". As it is the tail-end of the conversation it doesn't create a stir. It started as a college-days "veembu" of speaking Tamil in upmarket merchant places: Lifestyle, Landmark, the good old Qwikys (R.I.P but kind grew serious over the years.
  
  Seeman is perfectly right about the response you get when you attempt to keep the conversation in Tamil. You can see the smallest pettikadaikkAran's vocabulary being filled English words for which Tamil equivalents have existed all the time. Not archaic equivalents, ones that have been in currency till the recently too. 'Water' slowly replacing thaNNi' is something that happened right under our noses in these 10 years.
  
  I am myself only trying. I avoid using the embarassingly archaic sounding "pErundhu" and just ask "nAppAthEzhu A bus pOyiruchA ?" and kind of pat myself for not saying "forty-seven A bus pOyiruchA ?". I still wouldn't order a mAdhuLai pazharasam in a juice stall. But I think I could sometime soon if I start asking for thaNNi instead of water. If you want to feel small, just watch Maa.Nannan's show on Makkal. Sometimes the pace test patience but often pretty good.
  
  That was the only place I found myself in wholehearted agreement with SeemAn.

  That's true in an universal sense, the authenticity and credibility of History is questionable. Leave alone the biography. (On a related note: Have you seen "Motorcycle diaries", which is works well as fiction. Awaiting Soderbergh's film which *s Del toro as Che.

  Completely agree PR but the voice of dissent is so marginalized that while the "other" side gets more than its share of criticism, the "American" side seldom gets flak and is taken as The Truth. I mean, just for starters, how can we take a side (as represented by the system and not the people) seriously which not only hides the genesis of "America" (genocide) from its children but also celebrates it?
  
  About "all can't be well with a guerilla fighter" - All doesn't have to be well
  
  In fact, "all can't be well with a power which has caused such consistent and incessant destruction all around the globe" makes more sense IMO
  
  Aana oru vishayam: bAdhikkappatta makkaLA illAmal veLiyilirundhu pArppadhu vEru, as someone from the land of the oppressed , Che's perspective would be drastically different. I mean, for example, someone like me would just read up on Chomsky and the likes on these topics, and continue living my life like ever before. pozhudhupokkukkagavo (remember Virumaandi's initial outburst @ Angela James ), illa idha padichittu righteous indignation-a feel pannittu pazhayapadi vaazhkaya thodarradhu dhaan nadakkudhu...

  Read a very intersting take on western media portrayal of Chavez recently (where else than "Guardian"!!) which describes how 'Chavez' is always preceded by an adjective, like 'terrorist', 'dictator', etc.. and Bush is just 'President'. Had the recent referendum been in his favour, the western media would have immediately dubbed it as 'staged'. Talk about jaundiced vision .

  இப்படி எல்லாவிதத்திலும் கமல் பொருத்தமாக இருந்தாலும் யாரையும் நான் இதுவரை வியாபாரத்தனமாக அணுகியதில்லை.’’

  It may also be aging. In fact, while in college, I used to have a fascination for guerilla leaders who went on to lead their country. I used to feel they would be really 'patriotic' (let's not even bother defining that). So much so that I wrote a letter congratulating Mugabe on his re-election, largely because I was pissed off with all the British-American media trashing him. As a typical teen signature I think I even threw in some advice: some euphemism for "be a good boy" Must have surprised his office, I got a long reply from his secretary that started thus: "The President congratulates you on being able to discern the malice in the Western media....."
  
  Ok, back to Kamal.

I don't see the connection with Che or what Kannannn is talking about, Che's opponents (oppressors) weren't any better (although in the process, he became an oppressor himself). And, the condition isn't remotely close to Indian milieu. BTW, Bose is overhyped to great measures (not that Gandhi isn't).

  For obvious reasons it is easy to admire Gandhi and slightly reluctant to completely accept Bose (or Bhagat Singh). The arguments may not always be watertight, much as I wish like them to be. So the preference is not actually cerebral, only visceral.
  
  Similarly my lack of eagerness to put myself in the shoes (boots) of guerilla companeros is just visceral. When I sit to think I may be outraged by the 'oppression'. On a good day the outrage lasts about fifteen minutes.

  Actually he was a hero. He served as a guerilla fighter all his life to resist the white-dominated government of Rhodesia. But almost as soon as he came to power he is said to have run liguistic conflicts and massacres and what not.
  
  It was just that around 1999-2000, the execution of the land 'reform' coincided with the massive Western media outcry against him. And I was immediately seized with simplistic notions of David vs. Goliath. That is all.
  
  As soon as I posted my letter and came back home he had arrested the opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai

  No, I could see your point. But I don't get the connection with Che, his methods, and his influence. That's why I ask. In fact, I don't much admire with geurilla leaders or any oppressors for that matter. I know I might sound a bit mechanical, I'm frankly underwhelmed by what humans have become. I'm more even and peaced out with philosophers like Nietzsche.
  
  To be honest, I admire Bhagat singh, and Bose lot more these days, than what I used to, it was all Gandhi before, expectedly so after imbibing our Govt approved History textbooks..

  That is because of the simple reason that there was no connection in the first place As I said, it was a purely visceral opinion, not one borne out of a calm analysis of his motivations, circumstantial necessity of his methods etc.

  Bhagat Singh ....a completely uninformed opinion (here I go again) has me a little reluctant here. Reluctance may be because he comes across as a sort of wunderkid thrilled by the Russian revolution. Though I admit he some of his writings are very mature. He died romantically at a time when words are puffed up and have a great impact on the listener and the writer/speaker himself. The real import of all that gets more meaningful with age. To be extremely uncharitable, I'd day that sometimes I feel he is celebrated because he was put to death. Disclaimer : of course I am awed by his courage, commitment and clarity which was really amazing for his age. All the above is over and above that.

  Quote:

  Many avatars of a star SARASWATHY NAGARAJAN Kamal Haasan is the personification of versatility. In a freewheeling interview, he talks of his latest movies and film festivals Actors’ actor: Kamal Haasan says he will cast actors, not stars when he makes a movie of his choice Cineastes familiar with the many avatars of Kamal Haasan, on screen and off screen, may not be surprised by his latest venture, ‘Dashavataram,’ where he dons 10 roles. His multiple avatars as versatile actor, filmmaker, director, producer and scenarist are not new to viewers either. In fact, the multifaceted actor’s adventures in the world of cinema have always been well received by his fans and it is an affection that is reciprocated by the man whom thespian Naseeruddin Shah counts as one of the best actors in India. “Malayalam cinema gave me recognition and made me a star when I was nobody,” says the actor in that familiar gravely voice of his. But he makes it clear that he is not a superstar who rests on his laurels. “As far, I am concerned, ‘Dashavataaram,’ which will be released next year, is history. I am immersed in my next film, ‘Marmayogi,’ a bilingual period film in Hindi and Tamil, set in the seventh century. It will be the biggest film made in Tamil and it is being scripted and directed by me,” says Kamal who was in Thiruvananthapuram for the inauguration of the 12th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK). Dismissing comparisons between the IFFK and the International Film Festival of India with “Why compare karimeen (Pearl spot) and tandoori chicken? Films are made by a team and the festival must cater to each segment in that team and give them the opportunity to learn and evolve in their areas of interest. “Now, filmmaking is controlled by business interests who may know nothing about cinema or its aesthetics. It is imperative for such business men to be exposed to the finer nuances of the art of film-making. It must whet their appetite to make better films” says Kamal whose films have always tried to explore new territory. “I would also like to do a bilingual in Tamil and Malayalam with Mohanlal. One has to think big and ensure that production does not suffer for want of funds. Malayalam cinema has to rediscover and find the kind of strength it had in the Seventies and Eighties. There is no reason to mimic. The grass is always greener over the septic tank,” he says laughing loudly. The numero uno star of the late Seventies and Eighties becomes nostalgic when he recalls his association with what is now considered as the golden era of Malayalam cinema. However, he confesses that though most of his films in Malayalam were hits, he is disappointed that he did not work with many of the directors whom he greatly admired such as John Abraham, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Aravindan, K.G. George… “I feel I should have made the time to work in their films. I would have loved to work in a film like ‘Nirmalyan,’ ‘Chemeen’…. John was a good friend of mine and he and I did have plans to work together. Similarly, playwright Surasu and I used to have long discussions to do a play. Those years in Malayalam cinema taught me about life and cinema,” recounts Kamal. “I used to tell many of my friends to see Malayalam films for the variety in thematic content, treatment, acting and so on. Not any more. We need good scripts. The written word has to be respected. It is true that some of my hits in Malayalam did not have a screenplay. “‘Madanolsavam,’ for instance, had me going to the sets and saying my lines impromptu. It was crazy but it worked only because there was a master like Shankaran Nair as director. Incidentally, Sankaran Nair was the one who directed my first script, ‘Rasaleela.’ He told me my script was morbid and tweaked it a bit to come up with a winner. Bharathiraja could get away without bound screenplay or scripts it because of his long association with masters such as Babu Nanthencode and Krishnan Nair. But those are exceptions.” And who would he cast if he were to make a film of his choice. “Not a star. But only actors. That is what directors like Bharathan, Bharatiraja and Balachander did. And that is why their films became a success,” says Kamal. But the one-man industry Kamal Haasan is reluctant to call himself a success or a super star. “Success is difficult to quantify. Once, it meant the amount of money I earned. Then I found that I yearned for creative heights as an actor. So the idea of success keeps evolving. Finally, I decided that I would do only one film at a time and give it my best. That is what I have done with ‘Dashavataaram. That is what intend to do with ‘Marmayogi,’” he avers.

  I think you are very confused here.
  1. AFAIK, Rajini said all this in his 90s interviews. He has not given many interviews in the noughts. And even if he gives an interview today, he will say IR because MOST of his movies are by IR. With only 4 movies, ARR will not become his favorite, no matter how good (bad) the songs were.
  
  2. Also as many people have said, business is radically different from liking

  to add the digg, Rajni would have had more sweet memories abd working wiht IR, than any other MD. its not few but close to 100 films i guess.
  know what? recent vikatan interview of ARR, he said that rajni didnt call on him to comment(read praise) about sivaaji songs, inspite of that he is still the MD for Sultan, this is what he said...whatever good sivaaji album had been(its personally not, for me) expecting praise for one film..mmmm then think what if, Raja too would hav expected a fonecall frm rajni for every film????

  HR is to attract northies..There are lot of people criticising his music,but the fact of the matter is, his songs become HIT and is very successful.I am not sure how far his music (for DASA) would reach Tamils,but would definitely do good with the northies and that would help market the movie up north.
  
  Dont worry about the quality..all that matters is success and not quality..
  
  I understand, as Kamal Fans, we are looking for Quality and Success in DASA, but not necessarily with the songs

  I really don't understand your point out here. Liking & business doesn't go together. IR's commercial pull has fallen after mid 90s', so it is only natural for leading stars like RK & KH to go with what the masses want (could be DEVA for a while & ARR after that).
  
  RK doing with Chandrabose (Manithan, Raja Chinna Roja) was mainly because of AVM's banner when the terms between AVM & IR was not good.
  
  I am not sure if you know or not, for both Annamalai & Baatsha RK's first choice was IR. This was told by IR himself in an interview which he refused because of his difference with Kavithalaya then.
  
  There is no pretension when RK says IR is the best. Everyone knows that. And for someone like RK who grew as an actor with IR scoring most of his songs, it is no wonder that he had mentioned IR as his favourite MD. But the current scenario doesn't let him work with IR. You are right, if ARR feels betrayed, then he should stop working with RK. You know who the loser will be???

  Maddy, you never fail to amuse us
  1. Its 12 years but its not even 1 movie a year and he would not have been in touch with ARR for all these 12 years. I mean ARR is real busy and so is thalaivar.
  
  2. Whats with sivaji nightmare?? Almost ALL the Rajini fans liked sivaji's music and no one has thrashed ARR
  
  3. Rajini's favorite MD is IR and whats your problem with that?? (My favorite is IR as well) and Rajini does not have to PRETEND for 's sake
  
  If you need to discuss more on this issue please post your qualms on Rajini/ARR threads please

  The whole argument started only beco's in ARR's interview he sounded like he was feeling the pinch(atleast as per Sakala). Now you say that he has better things to worry about. Romba comedy pannreenga (now don't respond to this saying that I don't have comprehending skills???...) One thing is sure, the name Rajini seems like upsets your whole body!!!

  malayalam movies doesnt have the financial ability to carry kamal. kamal may not be agree to reduce his compensation for malayalam movies. that is the reason we didnt have kamal acting in any other movie after chanakya though kamal loves malayalam movies
  
  that alone is not the reason - when he comes back into malayalam, it should be through an extraordinary project is kamal's decision. if it is a period film written by M.D then i would surely act is Kamal's statement
  
  It looks like that dream of kamal might be fulfilled. M.D, who after a long interval has come back into screenplay writing through pazhassiraja, has found a subject for kamal's period film
  
  the subject is something like this - one japanese citizen who strives to find out the reason behind his ancestor's choice of budhism. he atlast reaches kerala and finds out the root behind his thoughts and budhism's thoughts being the same.
  
  the movie would be directed by Bala who did pithamagan which would make this as the next big thing in indian cinema - whether this project would materialize can be seen in the days to come

  Asin in Kamal-Mohanlal international multi starrer
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  
  February 21, 2007
  
  
  
  Looks like Kamal has decided to overwhelm his fans back to back right after Dasavatharam. With Kamal in 10 roles, Dasavatharam is nearing completion and if reports from credible sources are to be believed, Kamal will star in an international project sharing his screen space with some of the kingpins of Indian cinema.
  
  
  
  
  The as yet untitled project - touted to be produced in a mammoth budget - will feature Mohanlal, Asin, and Hiroyuki Sanada - the famous Japanese actor who played a significant role in "The Last Samurai" and is starring in "Rush Hour III". Directed by Bharath Bala of Vande Mataram music album fame, the movie might have A.R. Rahman scoring for it. Rahman is an obvious choice for Bharath Bala given the kinship they share ever since the milestone Vande Mataram music video was launched.
  
  Yet another important feature of the project is that M. T. Vasudevan Nair, one of the eminent Indian writers in the contemporary Indian literature, writes script. Lauded as a master storyteller, M.T. was honored with the highest literary award the nation confers on a writer, the Jnanpith Award in 1995.

  Dear Karthi,
  
  If my memory serves me right, this news of Kamal with Lal on a MT script came out some 6 months ago. I saw it in a discussion forum. But given MT's tight schedule (The shooting of a Magnum Opus "Pazhassi Raja" with Mammootty in the lead and directed by Hariharan [this same team's Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha fetched many awards including the first national award for Mammootty way back in 1989] is half way through and again the same team is planning "Pooyam Velli Chanthu" [both the present one and proposed one are historicals] ), this project with Kamal may take a very long time to materialise.

  "thamizhagaththai munnE kondu sellum kanavu."
  
  when thamizh arasiyal kirimigals claim about thamizhness and thamizh culture safeguarding in thamizh films, and question the thamizh intent in Kamal, who happened to be a thamizhan. Then perhaps in that context, it reeks of a sounding statement like that. However, being a 'thamizh' happens by chance, doesn't make them bigger or lesser. That said, one could very well be "glad" about it, and work for it - if that doesn't harm anybody - what more?

  But, in general, Kamal's views/responses on such matters exhibit utmost clarity. Even in this interview, when he says "ellA thamizhanukkum solREn," you can see that he's not just disagreeing, but actually "other-ing" himself away from the self-proclaimed thamizhans who take it upon themselves to save thamizh. Not often we get to hear such incisive standpoints. And in the "naiyyANdi" interview, of course, he's much more biting. That is the Kamal we all know!

  Roshan,
  Aha, nAn kaNdikkavE illa. I definitely respect his kOvam here. (I started my post saying, "much as I understand Kamal's kOvam...") But, such stupid hues and cries have to be tackled head on with no non-sequitur points of defence. You talk about "an acceptable level." That's precisely the problem here. There's no acceptable level for someone to dictate terms for others. Be it Kamal or SJ Suryah, nobody has the right to tell them the kind of films they have to make or the titles they've to choose.
  It's because we talk about honesty and suchlike, we still have people who approve of such objections. Many still see many elements like sex, violence etc. in Kamal films as "unnecessary," as things that are "inserted for commercial purposes," as things he could have done away with. There's no universally accepted notion of "honesty" here.
  In fact, to even talk in terms of honesty and good intentions is to give in to the moral policing. A tacit acknowledgement that such moral policing might be necessary in some other circumstances.

  Oh, yes, he surely wasn't defending himself here on those fronts. It was more of a sermon, as you say. I used the word "defence" in the larger context. Like our defence for a lovemaking scene, depiction of violence or handling of "controversial" themes in Kamal films and so on.

  Is there a film where a central (tramp-like) character who becomes a member of a kidnapping group. Only for the audience (as voyeurs) to realize the kidnappers, and everyone involved (kid's mom incl.) are deceiving, except for Mr.C/Avinashi/Mumbai express and Dudu/kid. What we get is a wonderful topsy-turvy narrative with its tragicomic elements (from the a mom to sister to father). The film is presented in a simple European humour format than being over-flashy!

  To paraphrase Kamal, European humour is to connect and weave the jokes to a hoop. While it may reflect realism with a light-hearted wit for the audience, it's actually being sarcastic. Kamal's take is adapting a similar "whole" comedy than simple parts. He doesn't go for set-pieces which cracks you up. No more overdrawn verbosity here, as it doesn't make way for the narrative to wear that form. More focus on the events with the characters twined for its convenience. In MX, The characters lack in communication, and the humour is borne out of their misplaced/misinterpreted positions over the narrative, or by virtue of their characterization - not situational (geeky) lines which comes out of nowhere.

  good exp, tilak but the bottomline is that audience didnt find themselveswell connected to the movie, i guess. thats the main reason. you were comparing to tenaali, but ppl enjoyed that movie more and more...i even know some north indian friends of mine, who dont know tamil but liked that movie to the core...and its the best family-entertainer of kamal to them till date...
  
  but at the same time, MX is verymuch into elite audience i guess..when its fate was decided as bad, down south, the movie decently did well in North. Infact some north ewviewers were complaining abt publicity which will help boost the collections. whereas tenaali is a pucca south indian masala which catered all A b and C centers. Eventually that was the highest grosser that year

  The multi-faceted star's latest offering is Mumbai Xpress which despite much hype has had dubious success at the box office. But Kamal Haasan, while admitting to have disappointed a few, is unfazed, claiming to have suddenly discovered a whole new audience in the process; "it's like cricket refusing to look at football".
  
  Explaining that he kept away from the continuous gags of his usual brand of humour — "brahmin, sabha humour; derivative of P.G. Wodehouse", which cannot work all the time, he says Mumbai Xpress "has a more wry European humour which consists of connecting and weaving the jokes together into a basket."
  
  But the fate of each new offering notwithstanding, Kamal is grateful to have what he calls "the best share of the big pie" in Tamil cinema. In the kind of wildly imaginative allegory that has sprinkled the hour-long interview, Kamal likens his position in Tamil Nadu to "a recluse given the kind acceptance of a temple bull: they can't milk me — I am mating and eating at my own will and everybody feeds me."
  
  His quotes just keeps coming

Aandavar has still not been forgiven for that blunder by his fans for obvious reasons Let's take casting for starters - we can argue that it was apt but thats one of the main reasons for the result!

  My point was you guys did it! Including you of course.. I read some reviews on VV comparing it with hollywood thrillers and you guys were very happy with its success which is understandable. Thats precisely what we did this year.. basking on its glory w.r.to its success and thalaivar.. And I never reviewed the movie.. Nobody, even the media claimed it as the best movie ever because of its starcast or whatever.. they were just stunned with its success and theres no harm in glorifying it..

  Quote:

  I happened to see an interview of Kamal Haasan in a Malayalam channel when I was on holiday in Kerala recently. As usual, I was bowled over by his thought provoking views. I seem to be going very close to idolizing him! I just wanted to put down two quotes from his interview as it struck me as very profound. So here goes. 1. To a question about religion (I didn’t hear the question fully as I just then switched on the TV), he said, “Would anyone ask a man if he is a man or a woman or what he did with his wife yesterday night? Religion is just as personal. No one should ask anyone else about it”. I thought this was a beautiful way of looking at religion and that if everyone thought of it this way, may be we will have more peace and harmony in our universe.

  Quote:

  It’s difficult to write about something that has been analysed, written and talked about so much, even on this blog. But when the point of discussion is Hey Ram, there is always something new to say. In that belief, here goes my DVD-commentary-like post, best consumed alongside a repeat viewing of the classic. [Now, that’s a good excuse for not properly structuring this post!] The movie begins with a dedication to Kamal’s mentor, Ananthu: “Thank you for directing me towards this direction”. Their relationship began while both worked under K Balachander, with Ananthu exposing Kamal to things like world cinema. Also, Hey Ram was supposed to be Kamal’s formal foray into direction, which was not to be. Anyway, we can consider it as the first movie Kamal wanted to put his stamp officially on. In the Hindi version of the movie, notice the name of the movie appear in English last, after Hindi and Urdu. Kamal defies convention as always, while also granting importance to India’s own languages. As I have mentioned a few times before, Kamal is to be treated as a creator whose chosen medium happens to be film. This is yet again symbolised in the title song. Kamal gives vent to his own agony and raises his (own) voice for sanity and peace, aptly in his own words (in Tamil). That pretty much summarises the objective of the movie. In addition to donning the new hat of lyricist (to two of the songs), Kamal handles various usual departments including choreography. While his skill at screenplay has been proven in many other movies, this one features the Page-o-Minute technique — one minute on screen being written on exactly one page. Ironically, the script didn’t hold the attention of most movie-goers, with its multilingual dialogues. Further on the technical side, this was the movie that brought back sync sound (dialogues recorded on the spot instead of being dubbed later). Of course, the voices for a few actors were dubbed. But you would notice that most actors remained unchanged for both languages of the movie. They were meticulously chosen for their background and also their ability to speak in either language. Shah Rukh Khan was a big draw in the movie. Kamal openly admitted that: “Ask the distributors in North India what Shah Rukh means”. Among the movies I have watched, I’d rate this performance of his next only to Swades. Kudos for his effort in speaking Tamil too (unlike the recent buffoonery in Om Shanti Om). Another person who had a great outing was Saurabh Shukla. More known for his dialogue-writing skills till then, he touched everyone’s hearts here. A few gems in the screenplay are on display during the Kamal-Rani scenes: * Aparna uses a pistol with no bullets to protect herself from potential intruders. Saket first makes fun of it, but it comes to his use later when he is held captive by the Muslim gang. * While getting up from the bed, Aparna asks Saket to not disturb the mark-sheets. “Okay teacher”, he says. This is just one of the few references to her profession, without actually having a scene to establish it. * After he ties the thaali (mangalsutra), he asks for some symbol for himself. She takes one of her toe-rings (metti) and gives it to him to use as a ring. Much later, when he goes to see Mythili and she touches his feet, he raises his hands to bless her and notices that ring, bringing back memories of his first wife. Bollywood’s most-loved villain, Amjad Khan (also the name of Shah Rukh’s character) had a connection with this movie. His son, Shadab memorably played Altaf, the tailor in Calcutta who is responsible for Aparna’s rape and murder. Amjad Khan featured in Kamal’s Vikram one and half decades earlier. Speaking of Altaf, Saket the common man very slowly realises the level of Hindu-Muslim tension in the country, culminating in the brutal end of his wife. Saket’s struggle is played out superbly with Rani Mukherjee’s continous screaming in the background. Rani was at that time very new to the movies, with just the hits of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Ghulam behind her. Kamal the director extracted a very mature performance, which she is now known to be capable of, as the reigning queen of Bollywood. While the director dwarfs Kamal the actor in Hey Ram, the latter’s performance is nevertheless not to be ignored. One image that stands out it is during the night of Saket’s wedding with Mythili — he shivers after pouring water on himself, as he struggles to bury the demons of his past. Back to the director, a portion of “Nee paartha paarvaikku…” is simply brilliant. As Saket reminisces about Aparna fondly, a sequence of shots shows them both at various places in Calcutta doing a variety of things. It is structured as a few shots, but the camera moving from left to right combined with perfect editing lends to effective screenplay. Every place where Saket sees while roaming has a memory of Aparna. Breaking the flow again, we need to get to Atul Kulkarni. He was a wonderful ‘discovery’ of Hey Ram. Kamal the actor lets him dominate in the scenes they share together, as per the needs of the script. Kulkarni rightly went onto win the National Award for Best Supporting Actor. Just as the first twist in the movie, that of Saket’s peaceful life being shattered, the second one too comes up slowly. We are made aware of the Maharaja’s conspiracy to assassinate Gandhi bit by bit, starting from the air-port and ending at a secret location on the occasion of Dussehra. The last portion with Saket in inebriated state is filmed beautifully, with hardly any dialogues. All along, we also figure out the personal motives of the Raja and Abhyankar behind their plot to eliminate Gandhi. The graphics is possibly a tad overdone overall, though it serves the purpose of projecting Saket’s thoughts. The usage of Tamil (Saket’s mother-tongue) is effortless even in the Hindi version — be it “Balcony kadhava saathu, Aparna!” when he anxiously shouts out to protect her from the intruders or Hindu hymns in the Chennai episode. Kamal’s knowledge of Hindu and Brahmin traditions are pretty complete. It peaks with his rendition of “Brahmanandam…” when Saket renounces all relations before moving to Delhi. The story is primarily the journey of one man. But it also travels to all corners of India and even to Pakistan. At every place, the rich cultural diversity of India is masterfully blended into the screenplay. Though being a ‘period’ subject, the contemporariness is unmistakeable. After the decade of Babri Masjid demolition and Mumbai riots, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had just secured power in India. Warning bells ring in the movie with a reference to Savarkar, the Nazi Swastika morphing into a lotus (BJP’s election symbol). Kamal speaks through his characters at one point: “Religion and politics”, like “sex and violence” is a “pucca commercial combination”! Later in the movie, as a sign of things to come in the future of India, we witness corruption at Gandhi’s place itself. Back to the movie, it thrives on sutblety and metaphors. One example is the Raja putting the mad / useless horse to death, with the rest of the horses in the stable being blind-folded. The man is ruthless in pursuing his objective and getting rid of useless items on his way. At the same time, he is careful to keep his other subjects unaware of his nature. At another juncture, when Abhyankar asks Saket to promise that he will perform the assigned task unmindful of his relations, he just turns to the left with sad eyes, the director merely indicating to us that his heart is hesitant to give up Mythili. The protagonist of the movie is ordinary like any of us. As much as he tries to hide it from himself, he remains a confused man. Even in the end, when he argues with Amjad, he cries and convinces himself that Gandhi is the root cause, even as he struggles to maintain that belief. At the same time, the character also has a lot of the real-life Kamal. He himself said in an interview, sometime ago, that the movie was born out of the question “What would have I done had I been there?”. The hotel in Delhi where Saket stays is the very place where Nathuram Godse stayed. There is a small reference to it in the movie too. Another interesting tidbit is that Kamal stayed in the same hotel while writing the script, to help him get into the head of Gandhi’s assassin. The final part of the movie features an interesting character, Govardhan, played by Gollapudi Maruthi Rao. He had a memorable role in Kamal’s Swathi Muthyam (Sipikkul Muthu) too. Naseer’s role as Gandhi was probably a dream-come-true for him. He was one of the actors who unsuccessfully screen-tested for the lead role in the 1982 biopic by Richard Attenborough. Throughout the movie, Kamal effectively uses small facts to make his point — Jinnah’s daughter staying back in India, Rama coming through Khyber Pass (reference to Aryan theory), Mountbatten announcing that Gandhi was killed by a Hindu and so on. As much as I try to detach myself from my sixth viewing of the movie, I get drawn in and forget to note down points for this post. Ultimately, the movie will remain to me, more than anything else, a textbook in film-making.

  everything in this world has a good and bad side to it.. kamal had criticised the bad of hinduism sometimes, like criticising sathi.. so what?? do u want him to praise those rituals?? or do u want him to remain silent on such issues.. everyone has their right to express their views..
  hindu fanatics first must try to cleanse hinduism of all its sins.. why are they giving opportunities to people like kamal, karunaanithi??

  kamath ur question needs long answers...to summarise shortly in tidbits,
  
  he had done so in heyraam - muslims, kyber canal ect....
  he had highly hitted global islam and crsitianity in a poem he written in ananda vikatan sometime ago
  
  he had openly blashed george bush for using cruades war ect in name of religion(do any other actor have guts???)
  
  i hope this global religion issues are a pivotal point in dasa story
  
  i think christians in India are less to be blamed, maybe thats why he adored
  
  a nun house in anbe sivam. if not, any hindu or muslim mission doing so?
  
  not hitting indian muslims but always hitting on hindu religion - looks like
  
  Yes, and i think there is loads of complains on cine industry saying the same blame. maybe he is doing this for long time.
  you shud correlate events happening in movies to real life also. eventho indian islams needs equal blames as kamal does on hindu religion, on screen, you should see something, thats in reality the unity among indian islams is great that you are not spared by them if you try to hit them. and not only kamal, politicians longtime sing peace bajans to them for votes.
  
  one thing i must say is, if you have this complain on kamal as a hindu, then i have a complain on hindu people - the missing unity.
  
  any group will be respected, atleast not insulted, ONLY when unity is there. simple. if you divide people in name of,
  hi caste-lo caste
  rich-poor
  north-south
  hindi-non hindi(or even hindi-tamil)
  aryans-dravidian
  knnadiga-tamilian
  bramhin-non bramhin
  iyer-iyengaar
  what more, how many splits, how many divisions, discretions, why???
  
  so, to put simply, dont corner ONLY kamal. atleast he tries neutrality than any one at the same time, in recent movies, like anbesivam, he hits on ppl who uses religion as a point to do worse, ant not blame the religion itself.dont you think he is getting mature enuf
  
  above all, dont you think its funny to ask, "he blames only me, he dont blame others", instead of trying to correct urself?? ur mistakes?

  Vallavar,
  
  I agree that hindus lack unity. U must realise that there are caste diviosns in other religions also. But that is not said so openly.
  
  Kamal has not criticised islam in any manner in hey ram. He has in fact glorified it thro' the SRK character. See the film carefully.
  
  I also do not think he has written any poems at all against islam/christianity.
  
  In anbe sivam, as U said he has glorified christians as service minded but that does not mean that hindu missions do not render service.
  
  To say is absurd, to say the least.
  
  Agreed that since all religions except hinduism are united, people get away after criticising hinduism. Kamal too has done the same.
  
  I am not saying only kamal does this.
  
  Even rajini has done so in some movies like uzhaippali.
  
  But this does not justify what kamal does is correct.

  kamath,
  in Heyram, kamal showed how muslim fanatics raped hindu women.. and he also showed how hindu fanatics killed many muslims.. so he had showed the bad of both religions..
  
  also, in Ram ram song, there is a line like
  " marumurai varuvathai solli maainthavar vanthathey illai,
  thodarvathu naame naalai.. varuvathu veroru aale.. "
  this is definitely aimed at jesus christ..
  
  and since in many of his films he had taken the role of a hindu, whenever he criticises god, it seems as if he criticises hinduism..
  
  he acted as a good hindu in kuruthipunal, devar magan, virumandi etc.. by ur logic, kamal has glorified hinduism in all these movies..

  Kamal, like any practical Atheist has mainly spoken/dealt with the major religion of his origin, in his case "Hinduism", and he has done it with higher magnitude than other religions, but he has also been clever enough when it comes to Islamic radicalism and christianity.
  Anything more against Islamic fundamentalism would reek a major assault (well, just look at Rushdie or Taslima)

  Uh, in that scene, Adi says, "enakkum illa... appadi'nnA nambuviyA?" Adi is surely an atheist. Also, recall the scene where he tells Sumi, "NAn nErmaiyaith thAn nambinEn, dheivaththa kUda nambala..."

  IMO, one can love or hate Kamath, but he's hard to be ignored, and he raises some objections which helps form a better discourse..

  Exactly!! The fact that he is able to portray theist characters as strongly as atheist ones proves how unimportant the issue is to him as far as movies are concerned. I don't say this often, but why shouldn't atheists take offence when some movies/actors always portray belief in god (no 'G' )as a pre-requisite for being ethical.

  And, it's high time to stop distancing as "Atheists", but rather snobbishly put it as "rationalists", but if only more people reason with themselves, it should come from within.

  I didn't really feel like responding to that criticism, but yes, this hits the nail on the head. Many of the strongest characters Kamal has written have been theists. Why, even in 'kuruthippunal', every other character is a theist. Despite his personal lack of belief, he "abides" to Sumi's faith. When Adi rushes to the hospital to meet his injured son, Zeenat says, "allAh karuNai dhAn 'NE idhu..." That he (the writer, that is) doesn't respect others' faith is simply out of question.

  On a serious note, Kamal does appropriately take offence to this in 'anbE sivam'. Well, sort of.

  Sakala I read your lovely long post, on Kamal's view about Religion on his voice on Sathi etc. etc. its sounded really valid point. you can't force anyone to accept someone's beliefs / thoughts/views (its for both ways).
  
  Does his movies (Movies in His Direction/story writing/screenplay/ etc) reflect these views / values? End of day We know him (He is popular) as an Actor First then as a social worker etc etc.. If he doesn't justify his value and views in his primary role! Than its kind of turns in to a lame discussion. More like Reel Pathi Real Pathi
  
  If Yes he has stood by his views in the movies. Than you have answered my question.

  I am getting more and more restless
  
  What is stopping Kamal from announcing his next project officially.If i remember right,this has never happened before.When his movie is ready for release,he would have officially announced his next.
  
  Are there any new important announcements/projects expected from Kamal this new year (like reviving marudhanayagam?)

  chiranjeevi inspired by kamal
  In spite of being the most sought-after commercial hero, Chiranjeevi, being a film institute product, has the inner urge to do offbeat roles too. And the inspiring force is none other than Kamal Haasan. He once said, “When I saw Kamal Haasan’s performance in Swatimuthyam (directed by K. Vishwanath), I was so moved that the next day I felt ridiculous to utter the same old routine dialogues for one of my commercial blockbusters. When I couldn’t deliver the dialogue, the director advised me to take some rest.

  I asked about official announcement meaning something like an ad in media or kamal himself saying "my next movie will be for "so and so producer and so and so will be directing it"
  
  If the announcement gets delayed,obviously the release of the movie will also get delayed.Kamal was giving at the rate of 3 movies in 2 years.But now,not the case.I am worried if we would run into one kamal movie in 3 years.
  
  Quality,history,..everything is okay.but, i like to get a new kamal release at a decent interval..Would any kamal Fan think otherwise?

  i would think otherwise, thats wise! we as fans are still chunking on thevar magan\virumaandi\MX\Heyraam\Abhay\kuruthippunal\Avvai shanmugi\anbe sivam\pammal k samantham ect
  
  only masalas like kalaignan\pk5\tenaali\Indian\vasoolraja\VV\kathalaakathalaa\ ect are left out. i dont care if he relases some cram commercial fil and it gets BO success. now its about going beyond.
  
  Dasa is going to be Mass + Class and distribution of the movie is going to be in a range which no other indian films ad thouth of till now. the Quality of the movie is what makes the movie still delayed. So it will take long time to chew and digest it..we will just forget all his other movies at that time..
  
  as he is gettig old, i think 1 movie per year is ok. note, it shud be of great quality. not a crazy combo comedy or a masala like Indian. they are not forgiven. also not an unclear MX! so i think he is on right track.
  
  as dasa is more on par to be expected on international standard, the year just got doubled and become 2. its ok. it will be justified

  Beyond Dasavatharam When there is no news emanating from the Kamal front, we rely on our reliable sources. And we have quite a bit of news: Marmayogi shooting begins by the third week of February. Kamal is doing a Walt Disney production with Bharat Bala. Mohanlal and Asin too may be part of the cast. [This news made it to the press too in some form. ThatsMalayalam mentions MT Vasudevan Nair being involved.] Walt Disney is already into India, collaborating with Yash Raj Films on Roadside Romeo. Kamal made a trip to Thailand to check out locations for Marmayogi. Following that, he has gone to the US for more pre-production work. He will also be holding talks with Walt Disney. [The Hindu had some news about the US visit.] AR Rahman does the music for Marmayogi and also the background for Dasavatharam

  பட அதிபர்கள் சங்கத்தில்
  நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் மீது டைரக்டர் சரண் புகார்
  ``ரூ.2 கோடியை திருப்பித் தர உத்தரவிட வேண்டும்''
  
  
  சென்னை, ஜன.7-
  
  நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் மீது டைரக்டர் சரண் சினிமா பட அதிபர்கள் சங்கத்தில் புகார் செய்துள்ளார். ரூ.2 கோடி பணத்தை திருப்பித் தர உத்தரவிட வேண்டும் என்று அந்த புகாரில் கூறி இருக்கிறார்.
  
  கமலஹாசன் நடித்த வசூல்ராஜா எம்.பி.பி.எஸ். என்ற படத்தை டைரக்ட் செய்தவர், சரண். அந்தப் படத்தை அடுத்து சரண், கமலஹாசனை வைத்து சொந்தப்படம் தயாரிக்க விரும்பினார். அந்தப் படத்தை அவரே டைரக்ட் செய்வதாகவும் இருந்தார்.
  
  இந்தத் திட்டத்தை அவர் கமலஹாசனிடம் கூறிய போது, அந்தப் படத்தில் நடிக்க அவர் சம்மதித்தார்.
  
  ரூ.2 கோடி
  
  இதற்காக கமலஹாசனுக்கு முன்பணமாக சரண், ரூ.2 கோடி கொடுத்ததாகத் தெரிகிறது. இதற்கிடையில் சரணுக்கு பண நெருக்கடி ஏற்பட்டது. கமலஹாசனை வைத்து அந்தப் படத்தை அவர் தயாரிக்க முடியாத சூழ்நிலை ஏற்பட்டது.
  
  எனவே அந்தப் படத்தை தயாரிக்கும் பொறுப்பை ஐய்ங்கரன் இன்டர்நேஷனல் என்ற நிறுவனத்திடம் சரண் ஒப்படைத்தார். டைரக்டர் பொறுப்பை மட்டும் அவர் வைத்துக் கொண்டார்.
  
  கருத்து வேறுபாடு
  
  இந்தத் திட்டத்தில் கமலஹாசனுக்கு உடன்பாடு இல்லை. இருவருக்கும் இடையே கருத்து வேறுபாடு ஏற்பட்டது. ``சொன்னபடி நீங்கள் நடந்து கொள்ளவில்லை. எனக்குத் தெரியாமல் தயாரிப்பாளரையும் நீங்கள் மாற்றி விட்டீர்கள். இதனால் உங்கள் படத்தில் நான் நடிக்க முடியாது. உங்களிடம் வாங்கிய ரூ.2 கோடியை திருப்பித் தந்து விடுகிறேன்'' என்று கூறினார்.
  
  இந்த சூழ்நிலையில் கமலஹாசன் மீது தமிழ் திரைப்பட தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் சங்கத்தில் டைரக்டர் சரண் புகார் கொடுத்து இருக்கிறார். அந்தப் புகாரில் `கமலஹாசனிடம் நான் கொடுத்த ரூ.2 கோடியை அவர் இன்னும் திருப்பித் தரவில்லை. எனக்கு அந்தத் தொகையை அவர் திருப்பித் தர உத்தரவிட வேண்டும் அல்லது என் டைரக்ஷனில் கமலஹாசனை நடிக்க ஏற்பாடு செய்ய வேண்டும்' என்று சரண் கூறி இருக்கிறார்.
  
  செயற்குழுவில் முடிவு
  
  இந்தப் புகார் மீது தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் சங்கத்தின் செயற்குழு கூடி முடிவெடுக்க இருக்கிறது. இதுபற்றி `தினத்தந்தி' நிருபரிடம், தயாரிப்பாளர் சங்கத் தலைவர் ராம.நாராயணன் கூறியதாவது:-
  
  "கமலஹாசன் மீது டைரக்டர் சரண் புகார் கொடுத்து இருப்பது உண்மைதான். இந்தப் பிரச்சினையில் தயாரிப்பாளர் சங்கம் கவனமாக செயல்படும். கமலஹாசன் ஒரு பெரிய நடிகர். அவர் மீது சரண் கொடுத்த புகாரில் உண்மையுள்ளதா? என்று விசாரித்து முடிவு செய்வோம்.''
  
  இவ்வாறு ராம.நாராயணன் கூறினார்.

  Quote:

  Not a businessman... Thalaivar is facing all these kind of trouble only because he is not a good businessman. He is quick to trust people and is surrounded by people who do not appear to give him good advise. It is sad to see him being dragged through muck time and again as he plays it straight. It is a surprise and speaks volume for his capacity to have been on top of his art and industry for over 25 years given the 'kulla nari' kootam around him. This will just be one more hurdle for him to tackle... I can see the Tamil press swinging to action with misleading headlines....once again. Thalaivar should really focus on strengthening his support base in the industry and political circles in order to stop every tom dick and harry to raise a flag against him. Looking forward to Dasavatharam! cheers kannan

  suppose if thats STILL god's name, then kamal is our god, rite?! saga kadavul.
  
  parama - everywhere
  aathma - soul
  so where is god here?! it means, a soul which lies everywhere. kamal is in every of his fan's heart. so its still meaningful
  
  if you understand, then you too are a god

  Fair enough, but the timing of the post doesn't take an Einstein to read the trick. If such posts are given the benefit of doubt, I would like to know why my posts are deleted.

  I never said that. It's just amusing that he raised it out of where, and the posts are given the benefit of doubt! Anyway, I would like to hear from the mods on their unreasonable treatment which ticks me off!

  paramathma is a adjective of the GOD which is closely linked to philosophical side of Hindus......it has far reaching meaning than other words like deivam, kadavul, bhagvan, eshwar etc etc....its better if ppl. avoid it......i still remember the protests that sparked off, when kamal was referred to as "nabigal nayagam of acting" - i mean, when the tolerance level is low - we should avoid such things is my karuthhu.....

  Kamal tharappil they tried to return the advance (DD) but Saran was out of the radar. I heard he has to give a "No Objection" letter or something after taking the returned amount.
  
  enna kodumai na Saran had written a letter ("naan ungal adimai. Enakkaaga ungal kadhavu thirakkaadha" etc) before Thalaivar agreed to do this project!
  
  What he is now trying to do is possibly
  a) Try to say, Kamal should complete this movie for him and should not start any other project before completing this
  b) Go to court just to create hassles

  Is it ? what I guess is : He might have some financial pressures. May be that is why he has taken a U TURN. btw, if he agrees for the initial agreement now then kamal should do this movie .. right ?? Again, there will be pressure on him and we might face yet another VV

  Stumbled upon this review when i was looking for anbe sivam images
  
  http://search.msn.com/images/results.aspx?q=anbe+sivam&go=Search+Images&form=QBIR#focal=9493aacf9c350b8f62962ceb7a7bd0d1&furl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiatogether.org%2Freviews%2Fimages%2F2003%2Fas.jpg
  
  Really loved the last paragraph of the review
  
  Whether you are left-leaning or right, conservative or liberal, an avid Kamal buff or otherwise, this movie is likely to entertain and engage you. While its political perspectives deftly interleaved with comedy will make this a noteworthy movie, Anbe Sivam really stands for something more. Like a handful of movies that have come before it, Anbe Sivam is evidence that public interest perspectives, progressive and sensitizing debate as well as entertainment can all be rolled into a popular film, without the need for the familiar formulae that cast populist heroes as champions of the downtrodden.

  KAMAL 03 interview to BBC Tamil
  
  "Pan-Indian film is non-existent," Kamal Hassan says to BBC Tamil
  
  
  
  In an exclusive interview with the BBC Tamil Service, Tamilosai, South India's film star, singer and director Kamal Hassan said that a pan-Indian film is non-existent.
  
  
  
  Talking to Tamilosai's correspondent, LR Jagadheesan, in New Delhi during the premier of his new film, Anbe Sivam, Kamal Hassan tried to explain why some of his recent films espouse apparently contradicting political ideologies and why there is a lack of a strong story line in Hindi movies: "This is because the Hindi film makers have attempted to make a pan-Indian film, which is non-existent. There is no such thing as pan-Indian culture."
  
  
  
  Kamal Hassan also spoke about the Tamil film industry being dominated by commercial forces. Talking about low quality Tamil films, he said: "The situation has arisen because of people with commercial leanings. Just like newspaper vendors should not dictate the editorial content of the newspapers, these people should not impose their views on art. Art has suffered a fall because of this phenomenon."
  
  
  
  Revealing his personal views on religion, Kamal Hassan called himself a humanist.
  
  
  
  The interview will be broadcast on BBC Tamilosai on Wednesday 19 February and Thursday 20 February.

  Quote: Why is a man with such limited acting talent more popular than somebody like Kamal Hassan. இதற்கு நான் வரும் April 15 அன்று பதில் சொல்லுகிறேன்.

  
  I will answer today itself!
  
  Popularity is seen only as headcount then even veterans like Balachander \ Barathiraja are not popular Mahendran\Shridhar will be nowhere So somethings shud be seen in achievement levels. Well. even if u see whistlers, surely kamal is not at alla loser here only that he doesnt travel all the way down to cover everybody from thathas to babies. that too is achievable in films like aboorva sagotharargal.
  
  it will be spoonfeed to hubbers if i recall the popularity of kamal in elite zones, all states, and even abroad which other acter can only dream of! based on that, either the question that "why a talanted kamal is less popular " itself is wrong. If not, the same question can be reversed - why the popular rajnikanth is never matching kamal's talent .Done

  Oh, for Cinefan:
  
  Kamal speaks good malayalam, just as with his expertise with Telugu.
  
  Some random quotes: (not in verbatim): On politics/welfare service - The real people who contribute to the society aren't politicians, it's the people you find on the streets. I do it as a conscious duty.
  
  On welfare, and why his works aren't publicized: I do it as a duty, and I'm the only one who has converted the fanclubs to Narpani iyakkam, and we have done works for upto 17 crores. I'm not capable of such amount all alone. Everyone worked for it. They aren't "fans", we're together on this.
  
  Random quote: I don't believe in organizing 20 free marriages for public stunt, and spoil the rest of their lives. (don't remember the context, but it will fit here)
  
  On donating his body: See, I have 15 metres of skin in my body, if that is used to make slippers for five lepers, my life is complete.
  
  When asked whether he's a capitalist: You could say say so, it's your point of view. Mine would be different. It's like, My "right" might be left to you, and my left could be right.
  
  On Mohanlal, and Mammooty: We know each other. Mammooty knows that I dance well, I know he acts well. Mohanlal knows that I work out, I know Lal's smile is the most beautiful simle of three. It lits like a light house.
  
  On retiring in kerala: From the way it looks, my retirement looks to be very short, but from whatever short time I spend in kerala, I would be having the best of it..
  
  On acting: I didn't know Brando, zubiliski when I began. I'm more inclined, and influenced by Sathyam master, and NT. I could act subtlety, understated, casual. But when I think of a villager, I'm inclined to think of my own village.
  
  On fights and comedy: I like Bruce lee, and Jackie chan, I appreciate and follow Bruce lee because the violence/fight isn't mocked and made hilarious, while Jackie makes it look entertaining . Similarly, I don't appreciate meaningless comedy, I don't encourage it. Silly comedy which are racist.. Mr.Chaplin avoided it, and he's the world's best comedian.
  
  when asked whether he's a Periyarist: Then, I'm also a Russellist, Bertrand russell, Dawkinist, Richard dawkin's The god delusion is an important work that neds to be translated in Malayalam, tamil and hindi, and read by everyone.
  
  On whether Gautami's cancer had anything to do with his relationship, and got him closer to her: I knew her much before that.
  
  On Marriage: I truly loved both the women, and I'm capable of loving more. I have never believed in institution of marriage. If we don't get along, it's for the good for both of us. You have to ask my children for more. Monogamy is not neccessarily convenient, Polygamy is interesting, but life is about convenience. If I don't believe in something, I don't commit. I guess men are jealous of me (regarding this)..(he laughs) Now, we will talk about Kamal haasan the actor, because he's not an expert in Matrimony
  
  A non sequitur: You don't grow wings. You invent planes (don't remember the question/topic)
  
  (not in proper order, but the essence is this)

  Actually, the context is with reference to actors' influence. He made the point that any actor cannot escape the influence of his/her "gurus" in his/her environment. It's almost involuntary. He gives an example "When i say 'Amma' or any word for that matter, it has been taught to me by my mother. I didnt invent that word. Similarly, you can't help being influenced by your "forefathers". When i wanted to underplay a role, i would involuntarily think of Sathyam master. And naturally Sivaji Ganesan's influence is there in me. If a writer wants to write a novel about a village, chances are that he would model his fictional village on his own village" (not entirely verbatim)

  again.
  The interviewer was putting forward the question (hearsay) of Annan's reputation with "women". The interviewer also asked "Could it be that you were not able to reciprocate the love that they had for you?".
  Annan's replies to those questions are summarized below:
  Annan said "Its not about that (loyalty). I have always been loyal to my cinema and the women i loved. Loyalty is not something which is bound by a ring or the thaali. Not all the men who have tied the thaali are fidel. Monogamy is convenient while polygamy is interesting. Life is about convenience and it cannot be always about interests. I prefer a convenient life. I can say that i have always been loyal to my profession and my lovers. I have not gone to a prostitute as i dont believe in that. Its just that i dont like to lie and i dont like to live a lie. If i dont believe in something any longer i don't continue doing that. Probably all these men are jealous of my life. (laughs). (On being asked if the women didnt get the love they deserved from him) You will have to ask my daughters about that. I did what was right for me and they did what was right for them"

  Yes. Actually the question was "Why are Rajini's charity deeds publicized while yours are not inspite of you doing welfare deeds?".
  Annan's reply (in addition to what Thilak has written) "It is exactly because these are not done for publicity" And finally he says this which is very important "I dont believe in merely 'doling out' charity. You should not give the fish. You should teach fishing"
  
  
  P.S: That said, IMO, on the part of fans (either KH or RK), publicizing such deeds *in the name of the thalaivars* does help in magnitude and effectiveness (though its a shame really to think that people need carrots for such things!)

  MADDY,
  Are you serious? As far as I'm concerned, there can't be any notion like "belonging," "ownership" or "owing to who" here for obvious reasons (such extrapolations obviously don't make any sense to me). But, to say that Rahman is not so popular in Tamilnadu is an unimaginable stretch. I'm sure 80% (ok, 60%?) of Tamil people since the '90s generation are huge fans of his (yours truly included). "Western engaLukku viLaiyAttu" 'nnu ennaiyellAm firstu feel paNNa vechchadhE avar dhAn! I mean, you're talking about just "ARR's success" for god's sake, not even about his further global reach or anything!
  If you think he deserves more adulation than what the people have bestowed upon him (which itself is huge and so richly deserved), that's a different matter.

  we are talking about kamal's daughter, not kamal. she is an individual with her own priorities. expecting gandhi's son to be gandhian goes against every tenet of human rights.
  
  it will be good for society as a whole if everyone was less judgemental and paid more attention to themselves than to things that are beyond their control like some actress' dressing.

  Kamal is one actor insisting speaking tamil as much as possible ,he even made fun on actress and TV achors for speaking broken tamil ,in his movies and his interviews .
  
  We are not filing a case for this ..but we are diasspointed ,not because of some actors daughter can't speak in tamil ..but when kamal himself couldn't make his daughter to speak in atleast average tamil ,he has no right to advocate for others ..Vera entha nadigar magaLukkukkum naan ithai apply panna matten ..but when it is kamal ,it is unacceptable.

  that is bad tamil ala "amercia mappillai tamil" coined by our hubbers to ridicule Maniratnam once.......but if i'm not wrong, kids will get influenced by mother's culture more than father's culture in case of cross-cultural marriages.......and both the kids lived in Mumbai if i'm not wrong...its embarassing to talk abt their personal lives anyways......
  
  IMO, a person attempting to speak in tamil should be taken as a encouragement..........

  Yes I have seen this interview and ARR was mentioning lot about old Thamizh songs and their influence on him. When requested to sing on of those songs - he sang 'unnai onRu kEtpEn"
  
  Inga ivvaLavu argument nadanthirukku - nAn gavanikkala Anyway, I remember once after Kannathittaal Muthamittaal release - Parthiban gave an interview to either Kumudam and Vikatan. In that he said "en poNNukku uLLa orE pirachinai - "avaLukku thamizh ezhutha padikka varAthu" and he got left, right and center by the readers in the next issue - for his hypocrisy ( he is anyway one of those biggest hypocrites IMO). MagaLukku thamizh ezhutha padikka varAthunnu Parthiban solRathu - kaNdikka vEndiya onRu IMO.
  
  But I have seen in an interview Sruthi mentioned that KH insists her to read more thamizh books and she even mentioned some of them - mostly some heavy literary stuff.

  I saw the full interview. Comparing what Shruthi spoke in that interview to what Mani spoke that time is a sin! She's quite good indeed. DM should stop spreading false hoopla! Mani's Damilu is one of the worse. Shruthi is some million times better.

  maddy, ur digressing and misleading the arguement..
  
  VV-la TN scenes-la vantha peeteru ennaku suthamaa pidikkalai.. i had criticised that also FYI..
  
  ARR should have sung the tamil song which made famous only because thats the one which really made him famous..
  
  also, i remember ARR singing "maa tuje salaam" in a function to honour karunaidhi in chennai.. ithuvum maha paavam.. mannikka mudiyaatha kutram..

  DM, what's wrong if ARR sings hindi songs? I see no issues with that It's his choice of singing. When people hire north indian actresses, or technicians, or singers, etc - Here's a man who exhibits his talent in some other language. When will our people realize this?

  To your defense, I don't think dialogues in a film could be compared to what the celebrity does in media/television!
  
  But AFAIK, to sing hindi songs in tamil programs is not wrong IMO. Even SPB does it at every other interviews/shows. Sorry, I just have to disagree...

  Ennoda rendu paisa..
  
  When I hear Tamil spoken or sung on national television, my heart misses a beat. I am sure it is the same for everyone. So, while ARR is within his rights to sing in the language he chooses, there is still an element of disappointment that he could have sung the Tamil version. Why? Because, the north audience have heard him sing in Hindi a million times. It was his chance to show them/remind them that it all started with that small movie down south. It is also a chance to increase their awareness about our music. So, my choice is, speak in English and sing in Tamil

  It all depends on the audience...
  
  1. English/Hindi channel interviews - if it's more of a Hindi speaking audience, then I guess you can sing Hindi songs!
  
  2. Same goes for Speaking!
  
  3. Not even a question...
  
  If it's SUN TV or any Tamil channel, and if ARR or Kamal speak/sing in English/Hindi, then there's a problem!
  
  Whenever ARR comes to the US for his shows, he makes sure he picks songs from both Hindi and Tamil...
  
  But I remember when one of our MPs was asked a question outside the parliament in English, he answered in Tamil! That sounded rude and ridiculous (not that he dint understand or know English)...

  it just gets under my skin when someone/some people who have never credited ARR for his achievement or never felt proud that he is tamilian who rose to world level, makes such criticism...........A.R.Rahman is a unqiue brand of global Thamizhan........did u/they ever celebrate that???
  
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmIEyI5PbVk - very rare old interview of ARR, which was much before the internet,globalisation, info explosion period - where tamil politicians wud also find it tuf to find a place in DD slots.......look at this - hear this - tamil song playing in DD .....i neednt explain it to people who have waited umpteen hours to see one tamil word/celeb coming on TV those days........
  
  konjam nilavu - chandralekha was the first indian movie song to be played in MTV world - and ARR/mani made sure, it was a tamil song - aana maniratnam - america mappillai , ARR - tamil drohi - wah wah
  
  ARR sang vellai pookkal in his Rendezvous with simi garewal - watched mostly by hypocritcal upper-middle class NI crowd.....he also said in that interview, he was so happy that peace returned to eelam (during 2002, when there was truce).........
  
  some people from ARR fan groups were hurt at him being called a "tamil drohi" here - and blamed me for dragging "GOD's name here........i thot i will do some cleaning work b4 i shut

  In Bangalore, (atleast in my project) I haven't seen anyone doing that. Ofcourse, most of the people here know Hindi and all except tamil. But they always revert back to english whenever a tamilian enters and they do respect US a lot more.

  2)தமிழில் பேசிபவர்களை மட்டமாக நினைப்பதில்லை
  3)பிற மொழிகளை கற்றுக்கொள்ளுவோம் ,தமிழை விலையாக கொடுக்காத வரை.
  4)அடுத்த த்லைமுறைக்கு ,அதாவது நமது குழைந்தைகளுக்கு எத்தனை மொழிகள் கற்றுக்கொடுத்தாலும் தமிழையும் கண்டிப்பாக கற்றுக்கொடுப்பது.

  நீங்கள் கூறிய அனைத்துப் புள்ளிகளும் ஒவ்வொரு தமிழனும் கடைப்பிடிக்க வேண்டியவை.
  
  மேலும் ஒரு புள்ளி
  6. நீங்கள் கூறியவற்றை கடைப்பிடிக்காத தமிழனின் பிழையை மறப்போம் மன்னிப்போம்.
  
  In today's hindu paper there was a quote :
  

  Quote:

  a quote from Lord Macaulay’s address in the British Parliament in 1835: “… I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.”

  Such a very lengthy discussion.
  
  My Stand and views.
  
  Rude behaving people are there everywhere. No point in pin pointing and finding the ratio and say these people are good and these people are bad. Generally all are good. Some discrepancies are here and there among all categories.
  
  
  Personally if you are talking to Thamizh People it is better we talk in Thamizh. If it is official related then even if u communicate with Thamizars better to communicate in English and improve the language skills.
  
  If we are brought up in TamilNadu definitely we should learn Thamizh as written language too. If brought up in different areas we should know decent Spoken Thamizh.
  
  Other than that whether we like it or not Hindi became our National Language. There is no point in arguing about that and being adamant of not learning that Language. We should have one common language across the country for communication and for our development too. We cannot expect English from everyone. So I would say Hindi also one should know at speaking level. By learning the language one cannot go down. We are going to improve only.

  Ethellam Ok. This will automatically change, when a tamizan meets another tamizan anywhere he should talk to them in tamil atleast. Unnecessary petering, will not get us what we were trying to get out of this discussion.
  
  Pls believe, as I work in the call centers since 96.
  
  It's known fact, one malayalee will talk to another co worker malayalee in malayalam. So as Telugu & kannada guys. Only Tamiz guys will peter with the same old crowd. When we change this, Tamiz will automatically grow.

  Hindi cannot be our "only" national language........Tamil is also our national language, telugu, kannada - infact every registered language spoken by Indians should be our national languages .....also, i have heard that there is no clause/section in Indian constitution, which declares Hindi as the national language........(Maddy's believe it or not )

  First of all, there is no big deal here and I am discussing just for fun!
  
  Rajaram is known for me for years and we discussed several issues and I remember most of the conversations I conversed with him even today.
  
  So, I was shocked to hear shankar's statement that shivaji is 1st silver jubilee movie.
  
  I dont know why he said so but I remembered a coversation I had with rajaram and so brought this up to his attention. I accepted that it is indeed a silver jubilee- movie after they have given proper references, unlike shankar falsely claimed.
  
  Now, coming to your defense,
  
  Yes, "Sathyam cinemas and sangam cinemas" would have been fine BUT it says Subham and Sangam. I mean they are speific when they say subham but they are not when it comes to "ruPam" which brings up the doubts.
  
  Anyway, take it easy! I get your point!

  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.

  Walt Disney to produce Kamal film 'Marma Yogi'
  Source: Nowrunning
  
  Walt Disney Productions will produce Kamal Haasan’s new directorial venture "Marma Yogi" (Mystic), according to latest information. Kamal will play the lead role in this film.
  
  News about this venture had been doing the rounds even before the completion of shooting for "Dasavatharam" featuring Kamal in ten roles. The new film will be produced by Walt Disney Productions in collaboration with Bharat Bala who was instrumental in bringing out A.R. Rahman’s patriotic music audio "Vande Mataram".
  
  Walt Disney Productions recently entered into an agreement with Yash Raj Films to produce a full- length animated feature named "Roadside Romeo". As Walt Disney wants to expand its operations in the country, it has chosen "Marma Yogi" which will be Kamal Haasan’s fourth directorial venture. It is said to be a period drama, set in the seventh century.
  
  Marma Yogi" was the title of one of MGR’s super-hit films released in 1951.It was the first Tamil film to get an "A"certificate. Kamal’s "Sathi Leelavathi" was also the title of an MGR film which was released in 1936.
  
  Estimated to cost a whopping Rs 120 crore , "Marma Yogi" will be shot in Thailand and the shooting may start next month after Kamal’s visit to US to finalise the deal with Walt Disney Productions.
  
  The names of Hema Malini and Asin are among those mentioned for key roles. Hema Malini worked with Kamal in "Hey Ram" and Asin is cast opposite him in "Dasavatharam".

  'I never fear the unknown' Kamal Haasan at the Rediff Chat The chat with Kamal Haasan almost didn't happen. The actor-director had a busy schedule, with interviews and promotional work for Hey! Ram. But he turned up for the chat, nonetheless, to fulfill his commitment. And in spite of being extremely tired, the superstar was at his wittiest best, much to the delight of his fans who has patiently waited for him. Kamal Haasan: Hi, I'm here...now it's my turn to wait Indian: Kamalahaasan (Repeat Q) As an ardent fan of yours, I have taken your name from the movie Indian as my identity on chat. I salute you. You are the GREATEST actor to grace Indian cinema and that includes Hindi cinema. Have you ever considered making English movies? What would be your dream role? Kamal Haasan: Indian: Marudanaayagam. Maadhavan ramamohan: Hi, Kamal, I saw your site heyramthemovie.com, excellent job by the team. Have you released the audio for the movie? Can you put a similar site for all your forthcoming projects right from the beginning and update it quite often so that everyone thruout the world will be abreast of the situation? Kamal Haasan: Maadhavan ramamohan: Happy that you liked it. Good idea, will follow up;-) Srini: I often feel that Indian films deviate from their story (most of the time doesn't have one) by introducing songs, fights and comedy, which is not at all relevant to the context. What do you think? Kamal Haasan: Srini: You've got company. R Srinivasan: Hi, Did you fear about the future when you are waiting for a breakthrough in filmdom during your adoloscence? And what would you have been now if had not been that lucky? Kamal Haasan: R Srinivasan: I never fear the unknown, if I hadn't been that lucky I would have been a film buff. Arms: Kamal, Have u ever thought of making a movie about thanthai Periyar? Kamal Haasan: Arms: Most of my movies contain a little bit of him. A full movie on him might be offensive to fanatic Hindus or for that matter, any religious fanatic. Geeseenu: Kamalji, how did you feel when you lost the address slip from Amala in Pushpak (last scene)? Kamal Haasan: Geeseenu: That was not Amala's address, don't worry I know her address Roshan: KAMAL HASSAN...MY EARLIER QUESTION WAS WHY DON'T U ACT IN HINDI MOVIES ANY MORE? AND WHICH WAS THE BEST MOVIE YOU HAVE DONE FOR HINDI CINEMA??? Kamal Haasan: Roshan: Both your questions will be answered with Hey! Ram. Radha: Hello Kamal, Can you please tell me if you are still in touch with Bharathnatyam? I heard from (writer) Sujatha that the floor in one of the rooms in your house has a dent caused by your rigorous dance practice..is it true ??!! Kamal Haasan: Radha: Yes, the floor dent has been rectified now. And I don't dent it any more. Arms: Hi Kamal, How long do you think you can act in movies? Acting in one movie in a year, how many movies (like Hey! Ram) do you think you can give in your lifetime? Have you ever thought about this kind of planning ? Kamal Haasan: Arms: Yes, when you can think about it, you bet on your computer I would have thought about it a thousand times. Krishkp: Do u have the guts to play the same role as a Muslim? Kamal Haasan: Krishkp: When I have the moral courage to play a psychopath, a smuggler, a good man, an innocent man, do you think I'll lack it? Kamal Haasan: Krishkp: *more* My denoucing caste and religion will be better understood if one watches Hey! Ram with equipoise. Ganesan: Hi Kamal, forget the biased minds who would keep criticising. Continue your good work, an intellectual artiste of your calibre and such movies as your Hey! Ram are definitely needed. Kamal Haasan: Ganesan: Thanks, you are definitely needed to promote the will in filmmakers like me. Hari Ram: After Hey! Ram, what characters do you look forward to playing or enjoy acting? Kamal Haasan: Hari Ram: One that gets the most applause:-) Madhu: Hi Kamal, it's great to see you on screen after a long hiatus from screen. The film being historical, can it sustain the enthu of people as you believe and it seems that you have censor problems?? Kamal Haasan: Madhu: Enthu and Madhu seem to rhyme, don't you think? Not only me, all filmmakers and especially sensible filmmakers have problems with an obselete and centrally driven body called Censors. M S Krishna Raj: ANYONE KNOWS WHERE THE MARUTHNAYGAM TRAILER IS? THEY SAID IT'S ON THE NET. BUT WHERE??? Kamal Haasan: M S Krishna Raj: It's not there on the Net through official sources and I know. It might soon be. Suresh: Kama,l at what stage is Maruthanayagam in? When would we be finally seeing the much-awaited epic? Kamal Haasan: Suresh: 30 minutes and Rs 7 crores later, even I can't fix a precise date but it will happen. Arul: Unto this last by Tolstoy-inspired M KGandhi... which is the book that inspired you to alter your life a bit? Kamal Haasan: Arul: Crime and Punishment. Navmani: Hi Kamal, I heard you are big fan of Hotel Samco, I'm a regular there, and only then did I come to know of it. Great food! Kamal Haasan: Kamal Haasan, at the Rediff Chat Navmani: Samco has shifted locations but I haven't shifted my allegiance to Samco. Samco is RajKamal Films International, my neighbour now. Indian2: Kamalahaasan, Do you have any plans to develop/diversify yourself and your considerable talents to the Net? Please be careful that you don't go the way ABCL did! Don't trust all and sundry! Kamal Haasan: Indian2: I am very wary of Nets, cyber or any kind. What is the ABCL way? Did they have a chosen path? Bharatwaasi: How I wished you, the Indian/Hindustani/Bharatheeyudu, were there at KANDAHAR on IC 814, to ploy that martial art, one twist of the hijackers' nerves, and they would have dropped dead!....No? Kamal Haasan: Bharatwaasi: You are watching too many movies. NO? Karthik: Are you happy with the music of Hey! Ram by Raja? Kamal Haasan: Karthik: You have got company. I am satisfied with the songs and I know I will have company too. Saisuresh Sivaswamy: Kamal... what about the project on Subramaniya Bharati that K Balachander announced after the success of Varumaiyin Sigappu? I recall, he had mentioned that there cannot be another actor to play Bharathi but you... Kamal Haasan: Saisuresh: I think someone else is planning to make quick money on Bharathi. Zoonyspaz: Kamal .. You know I watched probably the best movie of this century, Cititzen Kane... Orson Welles... you think we in India can ever make a movie like that ...Welles was only 25 when he made the movie! Kamal Haasan: Zoonyspaaz: That's another century now. Hey! Ram belongs to the new century. Sorry I'm not 25 anymore. Cottheta: As a firm believer in first amendment rights, I think you, sir, have every right to put your spin on history/events. Kamal Haasan: Cotthetta: Of course, I have the right and you know the amendment, how many political pedestrians and flunkies know that? Saisuresh Sivaswamy: Kamal.. quick money on Bharathi? You mean, you will allow someone else to beat you to Bharathi? Why? Doesn't his poetry rouse you, as it did your parents? Kamal Haasan: Saisuresh: I am still making Hey! Ram and have Marudu to contend with. Almost anyone can beat me to it. If Bharathi's poems doesn't rouse me, it means I don't read Tamil. Suresh: Good luck on you spirited venture Kamal. How do you think Gandhi would relate to the current info age? Cyber Age ( Humour please:-) Kamal Haasan: Suresh: People would be shooting questions at him. I think he would have enjoyed cyber space. Oasis: Kamal, why do you make a point of having kissing scenes in your films lately?? Kamal Haasan: Oasis: You don't ask that of songs? Do you like music so much? Or is it that you hate sucking face? Saisuresh Sivaswamy: Kamal... your feelings when you and not Sridevi won the National award for her performance in Moondram Pirai? Kamal Haasan: Saisuresh: What I got was the best actor award, what she would have got was a best actress award. They are two separate categories, I think you are confusing genders. Bharatwaasi: How I cried, watching you in Saagara Sangamam, especially when you sob holding Jaya Prada's hand for getting a chance to perform at a cultural festival. What is it in you that makes viewers cry? Kamal Haasan: Bharatwaasi: I hope it's not my bad acting;-) Venkat: Kamal, who's your inspiration and mentor? Kamal Haasan: Venkat: Inspiration many, mentors thank goodness, again many. Arul: Mr Kamal, greetings to you and your family. I remember watching one of your interviews in the '80s. You had told that you had the habit of going through Karl Marx's Das Capital every night before going to bed. What is the speciality of that book that attracted you? Kamal Haasan: Arul: Assured sound sleep within a few pages, I'm yet to complete it. I'm sure I'll have company in many modern communists. Indian: Kamalahaasan: Do you have ANY plans to enter politics? If so, when? And where would your REAL sympathies lie? Maybe you could enlighten us by telling us the 5 people you admire the most in the whole world. Kamal Haasan: Indian: When I enter politics everyone would have entered it. It will be, I hope, a revolution without violence. What am I thinking? It's a silly dream. A naive pedestrain aspiration. The political creatures in our capital and others will see to it that nothing so dangerous to their profession will happen. Kamal Haasan: LAST TWO QUESTIONS. Maadhavan ramamohan: Hi Kamal, I heard that you and Rajini are going do a project together to help your guru KB in 2000. Is that correct? Kamal Haasan: Maadhavan ramamohan: I don't know about it, how did you know? Kumaran: Do u think, Gandhi was right in making Nehru the PM? I've a feeling that Sardar Patel suited it better and I think this is bigger mistake than the partition of India Kamal Haasan, at the Rediff Chat Kamal Haasan: Kumaran: I read somewhere, I think in Playboy, that the Playboy dictionary explains the word analyse as hindsight! Guna: Why do you think Hey! Ram is relevant today? Kamal Haasan: Guna: As relevant as Guna and Kamal Haasan are. Kamal Haasan: Thanks, I enjoyed it, but if I yawn, you'll think I didn't I am because I got up at 5 and have to do that again tomorrow. *yawn* I loved it. Thank you *yawn* sorry all. Goodnight*yawn* Will be back sometime when I'm not this sleepy good *yawn* sorry night. Pictures: Jewella C Miranda

  adhAnE! That's something that never gets mentioned with respect to any of our films, while we keep hearing the opposite all the time -- that the intimate scenes should have been avoided in a film like this, in a film with this kind of story, as far as the script doesn't revolt, and so on.
  
  Yes, Nilu (a blogger) made that comment (that it is a "must-have-sex" film) in one of my blog-posts (a rushed write-up on ThaLapathi, which quite underwhelmed me when I revisited it after a long time ). I thought it was a very valuable point and had referred to it in my write-up on Guna when making note of the beautiful scene in which Guna and Abhirami play a bee couple.

  ரஜினிகாந்த்தின் குசேலன் படத்தில் ஒரு சீனில் கமல்ஹாசனை தோன்ற வைக்க இயக்குநர் பி.வாசு முயன்று வருவதாக கூறப்படுகிறது.
  
  கே.பாலச்சந்தரின் கவிதாலயா, மலையாள தயாரிப்பாளர் விஜயக்குமார் இணைந்து தமிழில் தயாரிக்கும் படம் குசேலன். பி.வாசு இயக்க, ரஜினிகாந்த், பசுபதி, நயனதாரா நடிக்கவுள்ளனர்.
  
  ரஜினியுடன் 3வது முறையாக ஜோடி சேருகிறார் நயனதாரா. பசுபதிக்கு படத்தில் முக்கிய வேடம். வடிவேலுவும், நாசரும் படத்தில் இடம் பெறுவார்கள் எனத் தெரிகிறது. தெலுங்கிலும் இப்படம் ஒரே நேரத்தில் தயாராகிறது.
  
  இப்படத்தில் ஒரு முக்கிய காட்சியில் கமல்ஹாசன் தோன்றவிருப்பதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. படத்தின் கதைப்படி ரஜினிகாந்த் சூப்பர்ஸ்டார் நடிகராக வருகிறார். அவருக்கு விருது வழங்கும் காட்சி ஒன்று வருகிறதாம். அதில்தான் கமல்ஹாசனை தோன்ற வைக்க பி.வாசு முடிவு செய்துள்ளார். இதுதொடர்பாக கமல்ஹாசனை அவர் அணுகியுள்ளதாக தெரிகிறது.
  
  கமல்ஹாசன் தவிர மற்ற விக்ரம், விஜய், அஜீத் உள்ளிட்ட முன்னணி நடிகர்கள், நடிகைகளையும் அந்தக் காட்சியில் தோன்ற வைக்க பி.வாசு யோசித்துள்ளாராம். அப்படி நடந்தால் நீண்ட காலத்திற்குப் பிறகு தமிழ் திரையுலகின் முன்னணி நடிகர், நடிகைகள் ஒரே படத்தில் இணைந்து நடிப்பது இதுவே முதல் முறையாக இருக்கும்.
  
  குசேலன் படத்தில் நடிக்கும் கலைஞர்கள் தேர்வு படு வேகமாக நடந்து வருகிறது. சைட் பை சைடாக தெலுங்குப் பதிப்புக்கான கலைஞர்கள் தேர்வும் விறுவிறுப்பாக நடந்து வருகிறதாம். ரஜினி இமயமலையிலிருந்து திரும்பிய பின்னர் கலைஞர்கள் பட்டியல் இறுதி செய்யப்பட்டு முறைப்படி அறிவிக்கப்படும் என்று தெரிகிறது.
  
  ஆனால், இதுகுறித்து இன்று கமல்ஹாசனிடம் நாம் கேட்டபோது, அப்படியா, நீங்கள் சொல்லித்தான் எனக்குத் தெரியும். அப்படி ஏதாவது இருந்தால் நிச்சயம் உங்களுக்குத் தெரிவிப்பேன் என்று பதிலளித்தார்.

  Roshan,
  That's indeed a fair point. After all, that's how it is shown in the film. When Rohini asks Guna what at all he wants from her, he only says he wants to marry her. Then, we see the two share some intimate moments. This is where, I think, it'd have been valuable if there had been a couple of more organically intimate moments! (After their marriage, of course, we see Guna fall asleep in no time, with his Abhirami.)
  That said, I can't surely say how it'd have worked if Rohini bonds with Guna in a stronger way or for a longer period of time. Rohini's conversion to Abhirami is impulsive, coming under extraordinary circumstances. She's terribly ill and wounded, has a broken leg, the mountains also seem to have got to her. And, of course, Guna's unconditional love also does. But, whenever she'd come down to real world (which she never does in the film), Guna would not have had much place in her life.

  Waiting for Kamal
  
  
  
  
  FIRST PERSON How Geetika Sudip chased the elusive Ulaga Nayagan for an entire day and ended up having dinner with him
  
  
  December 7, 12 noon: There were claims that Kamal Haasan would inaugurate the International Film Festival of Kerala but I didn’t pay them any heed. I had been intensely excited in 2005 (he was rumoured to be jury) and wildly delighted in 2004 (he was rumoured to be guest). Both times I was left with nothing but cups of woe. This time round, I was going to steer clear of heartbreak: to believe, I’d need to see.
  
  
  3.00 p.m.: “Kamalahaasan has arrived at Thiruvananthapuram airport!” “He has checked in at a Kovalam hotel!” A ray of hope tried to break through the clouds of my forced cynicism. I stood firm. It could still be Woe Cup 2007.
  
  
  6.00 p.m.: Curtains were finally drawn on the IFFK 2007 to reveal Men-in-Black Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan rubbing shoulders at Nishagandhi. My moment of truth had arrived, there was no denying it. There he was, in flesh and blood! As I savoured the moment, my phone blinked: Madame S, my boss. “Kamal’s going to be in town all of tomorrow. Can you do his interview?”
  
  Like, would you like to inherit the Kohinoor?
  
  
  December 8, 8.30 a.m.: I wanted to get on the job early in the morning, but thankfully decorum prevailed. “Kamal sir is not taking calls but I’ll pass on your message, ma’am,” informed a polite hotel-voice at the other end of the line.
  
  
  9.30 a.m.: “Kamal sir is not in his room ma’am.”
  
  
  10.30 a.m.: “Not sure ma’am.”
  
  Enough was enough. I thumbed down the first vehicle in sight and hot-wheeled it to Kovalam. You might do a lot of things, but you can’t give up on Kamal without a fight. Ennal mudiyum thambi.
  
  
  11.30 a.m.: The Padmashri awardee was being escorted from one television interview to another. I wrote out a message with my name and number (taking care not to sound too stiff or too syrupy) and had it despatched to him.
  
  
  1.00 p.m.: Long minutes of lolling in the lobby but no Kamal. The messenger-steward returned: “Sir says he won’t do an interview unless you have a prior appointment.”
  
  Panic attacks. Urgent summons to Madame S, who routed a request via Chennai. I returned to lolling with a thumping heart. Inquisitive glances began to come my way. Meanwhile, not even a glimpse of the face that launched a thousand emotions.
  
  
  2.00 p.m.: I found solace in ‘Great Australian Sports Writing’, wedged somewhere in the lobby book-collection. Taking pity on this lonely waif, a waiter (God bless his soul) brought me a cup of juice. I vaguely considered a fast-until-Kamal-obliges.
  
  
  3.00 p.m.: I was on page 65 (obituary of Aussie batsman David Hookes) when Madame S called, perplexed. “I don’t think it’s going to happen,” she exclaimed. “Kamal seems to be too busy. He’s normally so chivalrous! I can’t understand what the problem is.”
  
  I sank into the swamplands of despair. One last hope led to one last note:
  
  “Ten minutes of your time
  
  That’s all I truly ask for
  
  Being asked to wait is no crime
  
  But I need to leave at four!”
  
  The Big K is unmoved.
  
  
  4.00 p.m.: I prepared to leave the hotel lobby, which rather began to feel like home. The sympathetic reception staff requested my name and number, just in case. I scribbled something wretchedly and made a dash for it...
  
  …When realisation dawned, accompanied by the sound of crashing cymbals.
  
  Rushing back to the reception, I snatched up the paper with my details. Next to my name, was my husband’s mobile number. And that’s exactly what I had written out for Mr. Kamal Haasan.
  
  
  4.30 p.m.: My puzzled husband informed me that yes, around noon he had received a call from a ‘private number’. “He said he was from Kamal’s office. I asked him which Kamal this was? And he hung up.”
  
  My heart went into deep freeze. “That was THE Kamal,” I groaned. “Kamal Haasan.” “What?!” Madame S was torn between amusement and dismay at my gaffe. “How could you?” How could I?
  
  
  6.00 p.m.: Back home, my sorrows were smothered by buttermilk. It was over, my dream interview – smashed to smithereens.
  
  Just then, my phone lit up with a call from the unflappable Madame S. “I managed to speak to him. I’ve explained to Kamal himself that it was a mistake by a newly-married reporter, not a practical joke. He just laughed,” she soothed. “Why don’t you give it a last shot?”
  
  
  7.00 p.m.: Familiar road, familiar hotel, familiar lobby. “Mr. Kamal Haasan?” I enquired weakly. I was surviving dangerously on the dregs of hope. He was in the coffee shop and wouldn’t mind meeting me. My heart was in my mouth.
  
  It took me a while to spot the dapper, handsome man among the tables. Then he stood up – Nayakan’s Shaktivelu, Pathinaaru Vayathinile’s Chappani, Indian’s Chandra Bose, Michael Madana Kamarajan’s Michael, Madan, Kameshwaran and Rajan.
  
  I walked up to him and apologised for the horrors of the day. With that enigmatic smile, Kamal Haasan shook my hand and offered me a seat.
  
  “Would you like to join me for dinner?”
  
  I had a black out.
  
  Regards

  [tscii]Gowtham Menon On Naayagan
  
  http://www.hindu.com/cp/2008/02/08/stories/2008020850110400.htm
  
  Nayakan is my all time favourite film. It’s a film that actually inspired me to become a filmmaker. I was stunned by the way it was made, the performances, music, cinematography… all that. Yes, they did say that it was inspired by The Godfather, especially, the killing of the rival gang leaders when the funeral is taking place. I have seen The Godfather also, but I think this was a brilliant film in all departments. Thevar Magan was a pleasant surprise. Because till then I had only seen Kamal as an actor. I was studying in college when Thevar Magan was released. When I went for the first day, first show and saw that the story and screenplay was by Kamal Haasan it was a surprise. It totally moved me the way it was made and put together. It was in one way a beautiful adaptation of the theme from The Godfather but it was brilliantly handled - the whole village element and this yuppie guy who comes to the village and wants to get back but is not able to and is sucked into the vortex of what goes on there. The love angle between him and Gautami was very modern even at that time and the way he shifts his love to Revathy and the way he handled the riot scene and the climax, was brilliant.[/b]
  
  Nasser on Naayagan
  
  [b]How it happened: Nayakan, in which I played an assistant commissioner of police, wasn’t my first film, but definitely, it was my first break. When I heard there could be an opening for me in the project I tried hard to find a place in it. One fine day Mani Ratnam called me over for an audition and a screen test. I was very thin then. They gave me a police uniform that didn’t fit one bit. I naturally assumed it was a comedy role they had in mind for me. (Ha! Ha!)
  
  How it felt: I knew I’d be acting with Kamal Haasan and working for Mani Ratnam. The excitement was immense. And I wanted to give my best. But I didn’t realise the impact of my role either when shooting or later when dubbing, because I got to see only my part in the film. I still remember the day it was premiered at Anand cinema. It was a memorable moment when Sridevi, my favourite heroine, walked up to me and congratulated me for my performance! My day was made. So was my future!
  
  How life changed: The sad part is that it’s so easy for an actor to get stereotyped. Ninety per cent of the roles that came to me after Nayakan were that of policemen. I was disappointed. Again Kamal Haasan came as a godsend. He cast me in a variety of roles and here I am. Though I burnt my fingers as a producer, as an actor I’ve never had to look back, thanks to good times that began with Nayakan.

  [tscii]Napoleon had opened up a new off shore site for his organistion Jeevan Technologies in the newly coming up DLF Park at Ramavaram. The same was inagurated by Kalaignar and Kamal released a soft ware tool created by the company. See below (In fact yesterday's Hindu carried an invitation ad about this).
  
  State will strive to create 20 lakh jobs in IT, ITES: Karunanidhi
  
  
  Special Correspondent
  
  
  “We will continue to adopt a pro-active approach to encourage companies”

  HAPPY MOMENT: Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi talking to D. Napoleon, chairman of Jeevan Technologies, after inaugurating the company’s development centre at the DLF IT Park in Chennai on Thursday. Actor Kamal Haasan and Transport Minister K.N. Nehru (right), are in the picture.
  
  CHENNAI: The State government will strive to provide 20 lakh jobs in the information technology and IT enabled services sector before the end of five-year tenure of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam regime, said Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi here on Thursday.
  
  Inaugurating an offshore development centre of Jeevan Technologies at the DLF IT Park at Ramapuram, Mr. Karunanidhi said there was a 47 per cent growth in the IT sector in the State with more than 20 industrial units already established and commencing operations. The government was on the threshold of clearing three or four more new industrial units and efforts were on to encourage more to set up units. He said 1,30,000 jobs had been created.
  
  The government, Mr. Karunanidhi said, would continue to adopt a pro-active approach and policies to encourage more companies to set up their establishments in the State.
  
  Transport Minister K.N. Nehru said Jeevan Technologies chairman D. Napoleon, hailing from a farming community, had steadily risen in business, film, and political fields with the support of Mr. Karunanidhi.
  
  DLF Group Executive Director Rajeev Talwar thanked the Chief Minister for the investment friendly climate in the State. He said nearly Rs.20,000-crore worth of DLF projects were in different stages of progress in Tamil Nadu. The company would create more employment opportunities.
  
  Actor Kamal Hassan launched Jeevan’s new software product, www.myfotobiz.com. Mr. Napoleon donated an electric car to the Chief Minister on the occasion. He said he owed his personal and political career to Mr. Karunanidhi and the DMK. Cabinet colleagues of Mr. Karunanidhi, DMK party functionaries and actor Sathyaraj participated.
  
  Since the photo doesn't get copied here and Kamal's name is just mentioned in the passing, here is the link to the paper.

  Kamal Felicitates Social Workers [Monday, February 11, 2008] Kamal Haasan is a rare hero, who channelizes the affection of his fans towards social services rather than using them to boost him image. Last year, he requested his fans to donate blood and organize blood donation camps to celebrate his birthday (November 7). Around 5000 fans donated blood through ‘Kamal Haasan Narpani Iyakkam’ (Kamal Haasan Social Welfare Movement). Kamal felicitated some of them who initiated and coordinated the service yesterday (February 10). The felicitation took place in Savitri Ammal Oriental School, located in the campus of Sanskrit Collage in Mylapore, Chennai. Around 45 persons from various walks of life, belonging to the Narpani Iyakkam, who donated blood on the birthday of their beloved actor, were felicitated. Eight of them are physically challenged persons, while the others are women. You can view the exclusive stills from the function.

  மனித வணக்கம்.
  
  தாயே, என் தாயே!
  நான்
  உரித்த தோலே
  அறுத்த கொடியே
  குடித்த முதல் முலையே,
  என் மனையாளின்
  மானசீகச் சக்களத்தி, சரண்.
  
  தகப்பா, ஓ தகப்பா!
  நீ, என்றோ உதறிய மை
  படர்ந்தது கவிதைகளாய் இன்று
  புரியாத வரியிருப்பின் கேள்!
  பொழிப்புரை நான் சொல்லுகின்றேன்.
  
  தமயா, ஓ தமயா!
  என் தகப்பனின் சாயல் நீ
  அச்சகம்தான் ஒன்றிங்கே
  அர்த்தங்கள் வெவ்வேறு.
  
  தமக்காய், ஓ தமக்காய்!
  தோழி, தொலைந்தே போனாயே
  துணை தேடிப் போனாயோ?
  
  மனைவி, ஓ காதலி!
  நீ தாண்டாப் படியெல்லாம்
  நான் தாண்டக் குமைந்திடுவாய்
  சாத்திரத்தின் சூட்சமங்கள் புரியும் வரை.
  
  மகனே, ஓ மகனே!
  என் விந்திட்ட விதையே
  செடியே, மரமே, காடே
  மறு பிறப்பே
  மரண செளகர்யமே, வாழ்!
  
  மகளே, ஓ மகளே!
  நீயும் என் காதலியே
  எனதம்மை போல ..
  எனைப் பிரிந்தும் நீயின்பம் காண்பாயா?
  இல்லை
  காதலித்த கணவனுக்குள் எனைத் தேடுவாயா?
  
  நண்பா, ஓ நண்பா!
  நீ செய்த நட்பெல்லாம்
  நான் செய்த அன்பின் பலன்
  இவ்விடமும் அவ்விதமே.
  
  பகைவா, ஓ பகைவா!
  உன் ஆடையெனும் அகந்தையுடன்
  எனதம்மணத்தைக் கேலி செய்வாய்.
  நீ உடுத்தி நிற்கும் ஆடைகளே
  உனதம்மணத்தின் விளம்பரங்கள்.
  
  மதமென்றும், குலமென்றும்
  நீ துவைத்த துணிக் கடைகள்
  நிர்மூலமாகி விடும்
  நிர்வாணமே தங்கும்.
  
  வாசகா, ஓ வாசகா!
  என் சமகால சகவாசி,
  வாசி!
  புரிந்தால் புன்னகை செய்.
  புதிரென்றால் புருவம் உயர்த்து.
  பிதற்றல் எனத் தோன்றின்
  பிழையும் திருத்து.
  எனது கவி உனதும்தான்.
  
  ஆம்,
  நான் உன் வரியில் நான் தெரிவேன்.

  Southie biggie Kamal Haasan is a happy man these days.
  
  His failed second marriage, to Bollywood actress Sarika, is put behind him. And what he has to look forward to now is his 100 crore project Marmayogi, plus their pretty musician daughter Shruti’s debut in movies, which Kamal as a nervous father is anxiously looking forward to.
  "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." That’s all he will talk about his work. Shruti is a more interesting topic. Back from LA where she was studying music, Shruti is staying with Kamal currently. "She consulted me before taking the decision to join films. Naturally, I was nervous. But I’m happy now. Had she chosen to be a nuclear scientist, I would have been clueless whether she would succeed or not, but this profession I know and understand," he says.
  
  Kamal has faith in Shruti. He has advice for her but prefers if she discovers the exciting world of films herself. 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.
  
  That apart, the great actor is now into God bashing and publicly denouncing the futility of faith. "I don’t follow any religion. A lot of differences have happened between God and me," admits the actor. Like his personal setbacks? "All your decisions come from respect and disrespect of certain things that have affected you. But notwithstanding my personal life, I have enough factors around me to support my decision. 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. And when imbalances upset his life? "So far, I’ve been able to survive without that connection, and I will be lucky to cross the hurdles without any divine intervention," he smiles. "It’s like getting a fit body after you give up certain things."

  Quote:

  http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/feb/22kand.htm The IC-814 flight hijacking will haunt India forever. Eight years after the blot on the skies, the truth remains hazy. A former military official, now a top filmmaker in Kerala [Images], Major Ravi will expose the behind-the-plot scenes in his film Kandahar. And he has landed a casting coup. Indian cinema's two acting powerhouses, Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan [Images], will share the silver screen together for the first time in Kandahar. "It is a big international conspiracy," says Ravi. "Many facts have not been revealed. India had to the pay price, even though many countries were involved in the hijack drama. My film, in Malayalam and Tamil, will explore the truth. I have got authentic information on what really happened, who the key players were. Obviously, I can't reveal the plot now." On the casting coup, he says modestly, "Yes, if everything goes according to plan, the film will have Mohanlal and Kamal as commandos. Both of them are keen to act together; they are my close friends as well." Kamal had expressed his desire to act with Mohanlal in a recent public function in Thiruvananthapuram. Friendship apart, won't it be a huge task to make two of India's top actors act in a single frame? "Yes, that is the challenge," Ravi replies. "That is why I said everything should go according to the plan. There are many things which I have to consider. I have to be careful that the presence of the two should not affect the course of the film. Yet, I am confident that it will work out smoothly. I am also planning to make it in Hindi with a different cast." All his films are, perhaps, his personal accounts of history, be it Keerthichakra or Mission Ninety Days. While Keerthichakra depicted militancy in Kashmir, the latter looked into the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. In both cases, he had a crucial role to play. If Keerthichakra raised the patriotic fervor, then his Mission Ninety Days drew a blank. But Ravi says he is not rattled. "Mission Ninety Days was based on true incidents," he says. "I can't compromise on facts to make a film glamorous. People would have expected more sensationalism. But I am not the one for that. Those who are in the know really liked the film. International press agency AP interviewed me for over an hour after learning about the film. I don't have any regrets. It is a very special film." But before Kandahar, Ravi will shoot a film on the Kargil war, which he says will be another "shocking revelation of the Kargil episode." "The Kargil war was completely unnecessary. It was a war that was thrust upon us," Ravi says. "We may have won the war, but the human loss was mind-boggling. There are many facts which Indians should know." The film, which also stars Mohanlal, will focus on the post-war situation. To be shot in Dubai, Pakistan and India, the Rs 8 crore (Rs 80 million) film will include the characters of Pakistan President Musharraf and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the key players in the Kargil episode. "The search for their look-alikes has already begun," Ravi says. Interestingly, Mohanlal will have the same name Major Mahadevan, which he played in Keerthichakra. "I don't know why. I have a special bonding for the name," Ravi explains. There are many more stories that the Major would like to film. "There was a military operation in which we lost at least 100 soldiers in the war with China in 1962. Only four or five survived. But we won that particular battle. Despite being an incredible operation, it has not got its due. I have been trying to get details. That is one of my future plans," Ravi says. The journey from a soldier to filmmaker, says Ravi, has been wonderful. "I have had the rare opportunity to pursue my passions. A soldier in the first innings, and a filmmaker in the second. I am enjoying this. There are more stories to be told."

  Dell: Two things are very true. Kamal wanted to act with Mohanlal is one and the other is kamal wanted to acted in Major Ravi's movie too.
  
  As ravi said, if all things are going fine..Kandagar is possible. But, what I heard is the two kerala superstars call sheets were full for another 4 years until 2012. I don't know, but I read it somewhere, despite of there repeated failures.
  
  So...let's keep our fingures crossed for official info on this...

  கமல்ஹாசனின் 'ஹ்ருதயராகம்'
  
  
  உலக நாயகன் கமல்ஹாசன் உள்ளிட்டோர் பங்கேற்றுப் பாடிய ஷோபா ஹ்ருதய ராகம்-2008 இசை நிகழ்ச்சி சென்னையில் கோலாகலமாக நடந்தது.
  
  125 இளம் சிறார்களின் இருதய அறுவைச் சிகிச்சைக்கு நிதி திரட்டுவதற்காக, உலக மலையாளிகள் கவுன்சில் இந்த இசை நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு ஏற்பாடு செய்திருந்தது.
  
  சென்னை மாகாண உலக மலையாளிகள் கவுன்சில், மெட்ராஸ் மெடிக்கல் மிஷன் மருத்துவமனை, மலையாள மனோரமா ஆகியவை இணைந்து 125 இளம் சிறார்களுக்கு இருதய அறுவைச் சிகிச்சையை நடத்தவுள்ளன. இதற்குத் தேவையான நிதியை இசை நிகழ்ச்சி மூலம் வசூலிக்க முடிவு செய்தன.
  
  இந்தத் திட்டத்திற்கு ஹ்ருதயராகம் -2008 என பெயரிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. கமல்ஹாசன் இதன் திட்ட தூதராக செயல்படுகிறார். தனது ரசிகர் மன்றங்கள் மூலம் நிதி திரட்டித் தரவும் அவர் உறுதியளித்துள்ளார்.
  
  இந்தத் திட்டத்தின் ஒரு பகுதியாக சென்னையில் ஷோபா ஹ்ருதயராகம் -2008 இசை நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு ஏற்பாடு செய்யப்பட்டது. சென்னை நேரு ஸ்டேடியத்தில் இந்த இன்னிசை இரவு நடந்தது.
  
  இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில் மலையாளத் திரையுலகின் முன்னணி இசையமைப்பாளர்கள், பின்னணிப் பாடகர்கள், பாடகிகள் பங்கேற்றனர். வித்யாசாகர் குத்து விளக்கேற்றி நிகழ்ச்சியைத் தொடங்கி வைத்தார்.
  
  நிகழ்ச்சியின் முத்தாய்ப்பாக கமல்ஹாசன் கலந்து கொண்டு பாடியது அமைந்தது. எந்தவித முன்னேற்பாடும், தயார் நிலையும் செய்து கொள்ளாமல் கேஷுவலாக மைக்கைப் பிடித்த கமல், பாடத் தொடங்கினார்.
  
  அவர் பாடத் தொடங்கியபோது கூட்டத்தினர் அனைவரும் எழுந்து நின்று இடைவிடாமல் கைதட்டி கமல்ஹாசனை மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் வரவேற்றனர். இதனால் உற்சாகமான கமல், தனது பழைய பாடல் நினைவுகளில் மூழ்கினார்.
  
  'நினைவோ ஒரு பறவை' என்ற பழைய, இனிய பாடலை பாடி கூட்டத்தினரை மகிழ்வித்தார்.
  
  அதே குரலில், அதே இனிமையுடன் கமல் பாடியதைப் பார்த்து கூட்டத்தினர் ஆச்சரியத்துடன் ரசித்தனர்.
  
  மலையாள இசையமைப்பாளர்கள் நடத்திய அடிபொலி கச்சேரியும் கூட்டத்தினரை மகிழ்வித்தது. ஆயிரக்கணக்கான மலையாளிகள் இந்த இசை நிகழ்ச்சியை பார்த்து ரசித்தனர்.
  
  இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியின் மூலம் வசூலான ரூ. 75 லட்சத்திற்கான காசோலையை கமல்ஹாசன், மெட்ராஸ் மெடிக்கல் மிஷன் மருத்துவமனை இயக்குநர்களான டாக்டர் ஜான், தாமஸ், வர்கீஸ் ஈப்பனிடம் வழங்கினார். மலையாள மனோரமாவின் லால் ஜோஹன், உலக மலையாளிகள் கவுன்சிலைச் சேர்ந்த பிரவீன், அச்சுதன், அனூப், ஸ்ரீதர் ஆகியோரும் உடன் இருந்தனர்.

Maybe CR or Joe can confirm that.... These are definitely rare pictures & have never seen them....

And Kamal singled that out as a very good decision she made.

  What Bala had told is correct and the reason had been provided by PR. Kamal himself had stated that in future Sruthi should not feel bad that she is a illegimate child. This marriage took place in 1991. There is a photo taken on the occasion (which was given to Press to announce the wedding) which will show Kamalaammal, NT and Mr.Srinivasan (you can even notice the paralytic stroke he suffered in his left limbs) seated along with Kamal and Sarika with children on their laps.

  Why I like... Kokila
  
  Madan, cartoonist and film critic
  
  Being a film critic, I can recall about 350 films from recent memory, films I’ve seen in the past few years. But there are always films that make you nostalgic. Films such as Avargal or Agni Natchatram.
  
  A few years ago, an interesting thing happened. I had to do a brief feature on Kamal Hassan for Vijay TV about his movies. I told him all his best movies seemed to come from the second half of his career. He didn’t get irritated and patiently asked me: “Have you seen Kokila?” It was a Kannada movie. He said: “I think I’ve done a good job as far as the acting in concerned.”
  
  There was no DVD available anywhere. He caught up with the producer and got hold of a DVD. It was the first movie by Balu Mahendra. When I saw the movie, I was stunned. It was such a beautiful movie, up there in the league of Truffaut and his The 400 Blows. You can see the genius in the first movie. Director Balu Mahendra had arrived. Kamal must have been 23 years old. What a great actor Kamal was going to become in the future, you could see in Kokila. It was very unfortunate that he was just made to wear huge bell-bottoms and do song and dance at that time. But Balu Mahendra persisted and made Kokila.
  
  It was a surprise experience for me to see Kokila. I am mentioning this movie because I think it is time we start preserving our old movies. Youngsters of today should be given an opportunity to see Kokila.

  Dear Joe,Feddy,Thilak,Movie Cop and Kannannn
  
  I was very disappointed and even annoyed with Kamal's condolence message. IMO it did not do even remote justice to the phenomenon that is Sujatha.
  
  The overall impression I got is one of underachievement and the (signature) reluctant and sparing praise. And for a writer of Kamal's calibre I find it hard to believe that it just 'came out that way'. So I was pretty annoyed.
  
  Regardless of whether you agree or feel I am reading too much into it let us not discuss this any further here, atleast out of respect for Sujatha.

  [tscii]http://sify.com/movies/kamalhassan/fullstory.php?id=13302384
  
  Those were good old days. Kamal and I were child artistes then. We had a 5-year contract with AVM Studios and both of us used to hang out together. I remember the time when used to re-enact the roles of MGR and Saroja Devi after watching the rushes and songs of the movie Anbe Vaa.
  
  Today we don’t enjoy the same rapport. We have taken different paths. We hardly meet each other nowadays. He is busy with his films and I have my TV serials.
  
  Kamal is actually about four years older to me. He is senior to me in cine field also. When we worked together as child artistes we got picked up from our houses in the morning and taken to AVM Studio, where we used to spend the whole day delivering dialogues in different languages.
  
  In those days AVM shot the same film in two or three languages. So, we got a chance to learn different languages. I have done quite a few films with Kamal. I have acted with him both when he was a child artiste and after he became a hero. Avargal and Aval Appadi Thaan are two films that come to my mind immediately.
  
  Even after we grew up, we used to go cycling and swimming together. I was very good at swimming. He was very health conscious even during those days. He used to wake me up from the hotel room in Hyderabad as early as 4 am in the morning to go for jogging.
  
  He is really a man of steel. (Literally, because he has so man steel plates in his body that he can’t possibly walk past metal detectors without making them beep!)
  
  Kamal was totally committed to acting even at a young age. He used to repeat the scenes that he did in the studio when we met in our house after the shooting hours.
  
  Kamal was always an instant hit with girls. I never had a crush on him because I knew him from very young age. But I know many actresses had fallen for him. He has the looks, he has the communication skills and he could talk on any subject.
  
  Actresses get involved with him knowing fully well that he was married. That is the kind of charisma he has. But he also loses interest in them very fast.
  
  Deep inside Kamal is an impatient man though he appears very calm on the outside.
  
  I know of an actress who was very much after him, but he was really in love with Vani Ganapathy (Kamalhassan's first wife) at that time. Not only Tamil heroines, even Hindi stars fell for him.
  
  After hearing about his problem with Sarika (Kamal’s second wife) I really felt sad, particularly for the children.
  
  After all those years of being a family friend, now my relationship with Kamal has become very diplomatic. We just say hello when we bump into each other at some functions. I feel very sad about this. May be it is because we do not have anything common to discuss.
  
  However, it is not just Kamal who seems to have changed but many of my old friends also seem to have. Among them only Sri Priya remains unchanged. We both can still chat for a long time like good old days. I really miss Kamalhassan as a friend.
  
  I still feel bad if anything goes wrong with any of his projects. And feel happy for him if anything good happens to him. I am sure he would also have the same feeling towards me.
  
  Last year as I was passing Mount Road I saw banners of birthday celebrations of Kamal at Kamarajar Arangam. I just went in, though I was not invited, and waved at him from a distance and left the place.
  
  I know that a lot of distance has crept between us in the last 15 years but I want to bridge this gap. I want my old friend back.

  Have you seen the movie Kuzhandaiyum Devamum? Kutty Padmini's acting is good in that movie.
  
  I guess (if I am not wrong) Kutty Padmini had referred to Kamal as her Anna in one of the TV interviews (DD Podhigai) which I had seen a long time back.

  Quote:

  Kamal was interviewed for Puththagam Pesudhu (Tamil magazine on books), in its special edition released for the Chennai book exhibition held in January. Bubbling with enthusiasm and ideas, Kamal covers a wide range of topics related to books, movies, religion and society. In the end, the reader is astounded with his depth of knowledge and wisdom. Though we are unable to reproduce this very long interview or provide a link to it, here are some highlights. * He encourages the efforts of the people behind this magazine. * He talks about an aborted attempt with writer Balakumaran to provide meaningful stories as comic strips. He puts forward an idea of narrating stories through FM radio! * He talks about his early inhibition to write in Tamil and how RC Sakthi helped him overcome it. He first wrote a short story titled “Ninaivugal” (Memories). * Talking of the influences of books in his movies, he mentions Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. He says that Saket of Hey Ram was influenced by the character of Raskolnikov. * He openly talks about his fascination for women and obsession with sex-related books during his adoloscent years. He also speaks about how he evolved into an atheist. * He goes onto talk about his literary heroes incluing Jayakanthan, Jeyamohan and Sundararamasami. Regarding movies, he mentions his “Close net film society” efforts and is confident of changing the nature of movies in India. * He praises fellow actor Sivakumar for not having a fans’ association. He also elaborately evaluates Sivaji Ganesan’s acting. * During the interview, Kamal quotes a censored dialogue from Mumbai Xpress, which is based on Gandhi’s three monkeys! Translation of some snippets: * Since profound literature was boring, readers stuck to trivial magazines. As we forgot to mix it with honey, only honey bottles are being provided nowadays. * Is the side-dish alone enough? Don’t we need to eat the main dish? People imagine that the side-dish alone would fill stomachs. That’s sad. * There is this book called Tao of Physics. I like such ones…I promise I didn’t understand it. * In my house too, there were people who read books. But in Brahmin households, English had the first priority. Only women used to talk about Tamil novels. Due to the interest of my mother and sister, I too got introduced to Tamil. * I’m a pedestrian politician. I’m not searching for my leader in Delhi, but on the streets. * When Ananthu died, two boxes full of books came to my house. I leaned on the box and cried out loud. That is my relationship with books. * Great writers do contain themselves due to their desire to feature in Ananda Vikatan and Kumudham (top Tamil magazines). Sivaji did the same. * Shouldn’t Sivaji and Satyajit Ray have worked together? Language is a reason. We don’t have a national language * Rajni came (without knowing Tamil), isn’t it? No one puts in efforts like his these days. * The air-conditioner in my office runs because movies have become a business Let’s end with some seemingly outrageous statements on one of his pet topics, atheism: * It is difficult to make me believe in God after all these years. * If the religious heads didn’t keep dancing this way, a person like me wouldn’t have come to atheism. * Ramanuja was an atheist too. Christ was an atheist too. In their times.

  I am getting more and more convinced that Kamal just doesnt show his theist side in public. (like MGR?)
  one becomes an atheist thru conviction, not thru actions of other ppl.

  One of the most expected movies of the Hollywood will finally shore up in Chennai on March 21. Vantage Point features Sigourney Weaver, Dennis Quaid, Mathew Fox, Forest Whitaker and many others in lead role. What makes this film more expected is its very appealing storyline. A Political leader is assassinated during a public meeting and now the mystery begins when eight different people who present during the assassination come up with their own perspectives of who the assassin is?
  
  Well, this story is more identical to Akira Kurusowa’s yesteryear flick Rashoman that centered on 4 different people coming up with their perceptions during a police interrogation of murder and rape in a forest. If this sounds too above your head, then we have the same sort of movie in Tamil. Kamal Haasan’s directorial Virumaandi is off the genre.
  
  So gets yourselves geared up watching this movie for its getting released on March 21 at Sathyam, Sangam and Inox Theatres in Chennai.

  in KH's view, religion/God are own's personal things and should not be questioned/argued/discussed abt in public - the biggest problem in today's mainstream america (which is the world's richest and most influential country) for example, is the gross mix of religion in everything and which has blinded an entire generation into supporting a war! worser, majority supporters of a presidential candidate (McCain) actually believe that the Iraq war is a precursor for the Armageddon (to be followed by the second coming (???) of Christ) and hence is justified! we live in dangerous times and am glad that people like KH desist from talking abt their personal perceptions of God - for a physicist, God cud be a source of kinetic n potential energy, for a chemist, God cud be a source of all kinds of natural spontaneous reactions and so on! lets leave his ideas to himself! I think he deserves his privacy, as much as each one of us do

  Difference between Roshoman/Virumaandi and Vantage Point is that in the former movies the truth would be tainted in one of the view points (for example Pasupathi in Virumaandi) where as Vantage Point show the same truthful event from the view point of 4-5 people (President, assasin, body guards, witness etc) and all the view points are truthful representation.
