  Kamal’s ‘No’ to Vijayakanth
  - 31.01.2006
  Cinesouth.com
  
  Some people take pleasure in starting some controversies. They have thrown a bait to Kamal who is just going about acting and his films. Vijayakanth and Karthik have come to politics. When are you planning? Kamal’s answer is the same as ever.
  
  “Vijayakanth and Karthik have desired to enter politics. But it won’t happen to me,” asserted Kamal and added that acting is his forte, so why dabble in politics?
  
  As the elections are drawing close, he has put it bluntly that, “Politics is a business. I can’t learn another business at this time”.
  
  What if Vijayakanth and Karthik invite you? Will you go along with them? This draws yet another pointed answer: “As they belong to the cinema community, my best wishes are with them. But I won’t go along with them.”
  
  In recent times, Kamal has been very critical of the cinema industry. “Traditionally only commercial films have become successes. The reason is that writers like Jayakanthan have been kept away like untouchables from the industry.”
  
  In the function organized by Banyan, Kamal is participating along with Mani Ratnam, Vasanth and Rajiv Menon. Kamal will participate by singing on the stage.
  
  Yes, Kamal will be singing a song in this function!

  1. Always shows interest in learning different aspects of cinema.
  2. Multi talented personalities.
  3. Maintaining their physique.
  4. Straightforward.
  5. Will take risks at their own expense several times.
  6. More disciplined while comparing others.

  This reflects the great admiration Kamal has not only for movies but also for literature. He also makes it a point to acknowledge the greatness of others. DIGRESSION HERE: Jayakanthan is not only a great writer but also a great director (his 'unnaipol oruvan' is one of the best movies I have ever seen). END DIGRESSION
  
  Perhaps, the best thing I like about KH is his tamil. It is a pleasure to hear him talk in tamil. You can see that he is searching for an appropriate tamil word when he pauses during interviews and does come up with one. I dont mean to deride others, but I think among all actors (some dont even take the effort to pronounce 'zha'), he is the only genuine lover the language.

  if one cant say a particular person is
  
  PATHETIC in acting
  or

  then......... there is no need to disagree at all. There is NO SPICE in arguing at all, if its gonna sound as decent and as formal like 1960z MGM movies.

  Hmmm. Once again you did it. OK.
  
  First of all in the older days it is not quite easier to enter cine field without any knowledge in acting.
  
  MGR had a lots of struggle before getting a good break through.
  He was not a son of any cine personality. He was not rich either.
  He did not come to cine field with somebody's recommendation.
  He came to cine field and established himself only due to his hard work.
  By the way he was also from the background of Drama.

  Sakthi,
  I think you always compare MGR with Nadigar Thilagam in acting and come to the conclusion that MGR is bad actor ..forget about Nadigar Thilagam who is Himalaya ..MGR was not a bad actor as you think ..MGR too had drama background ..Without acting talent he couldn't have managed to act in dramas .
  
  Do you know one fact? Perarinjar Anna wrote a drama "Sivaji Kanda Hindu Rajyam" and it was planed and advertised as MGR was acting as Sivaji ..In the last min MGR refused to do for some reasons ,thus Anna asked Ganesan to act without much confident ,but with no other choice ..Ganesan acted in that Drama ,became 'Sivaji Ganesan' and the rest is history.
  
  I recoment to watch movies like Malaikallan,Mannathi mannan,mahadevi,Madurai Veeran ..You can find that MGR is not that bad in acting as you think.

  I liked him in manaathi mannan.
  REst Ive not watched.
  
  Actually I like watching MGR movies for its sheer cool approach which makes me relax.
  
  Yes may be I compare him with Shivaji.
  
  One thing joe,
  
  I can never find him DOING pathos OR decent 'tear-jerking' scene in any movie. When young, I have heard him teased by my relatives and other freinds, as someone who closes his face (whenever he need to do pathos)
  
  anyway PLZ END DIGN.
  
  I want this to be KH thread.

  Hmmm. But normally a man does not show his emotions openly. When i feel like crying, i normally close my face..
  Maximum men do not cry or show their emotions very openly as per my opinion. Atleast in my sorroundings i could not see much..

  THATS KAMAL
  
  Kamal has quietly extended a heartwarming gesture after Mumbai Express. The huge sets portraying the slums in Mumbai were made at a huge cost. So, instead of dismantling them and junking them up, he has donated the entire set to the slum dwellers who are indeed a happy lot. They now have some firm support structure in their shanties.

  Nice thread. Lot of information.
  
  I like this idiot a lot. He is the only person whom we can see as a character in the movie. He do not compromise anything .
  
  Recently there was an article in kumudam which discussed abt the salary and the property of the artists. They mentioned kamalji do not have much property . All his investments are in cinema only. enna oru verithanamana kaadhal illai seira thozhil mela yethanai peru indha alavukku avanga seira thozhilai nesikiraanga.
  
  He never commented on any political person and he is too far from politics. he represent himself as an artist all the time.
  
  His enthu in learning new things is really amazing.
  
  His tamil pronounciation is excellent.
  
  He encourage talented people and he has got very good relationship with old artists.
  
  HE is genius. I like this idiot.

  Just enquired with the It people in Forumhub. They don't have enough storage space to accommodate the accolades, observations, learnings, paeans and critiques of Aandavar Kalaignani Dr. Kamal Haasan. They are in the process of ramping up their SAN infrastructure!

  Well. First of all, they should ramp up the space to accomodate the increasing size of other threads. Rather than deleting threads, they can store them for future reference. IMO, CM vs MX also belong to the same category. So, do other threads. They must ramp up their infrastructure.

  Just now I read a book written by Director Mahendran..He wrote an entire chapter about KalaiGnani kamal hassan ..He mentioned about his great friend kamal hassan who is the sole reason for the release of the classic 'Mullum Malarum'.
  
  First of all ,it is kamal who introduce Balu Mahendra as a cemeraman to Mehendran ,thus balumahendra became a cameraman for 'Mullum Malrum" ..Before the completion of 'Mullum Malarum',there was a big problem between Director Mahendran and Producer Venu Chettiyar ..By seeing the rush of the scenes so far taken ,Venu chettiyar got angry with Mahendran ,since he felt that movie will flop and Venu chettiyar refused to fund further ..The very important scene of the song "Senthazham poovil" was yet to shoot..Mahendran felt it was very important for the movie ..But the producer refused to give any more fund ..Mahendran went to his friend kamal..Kamal immediately came and meet the producer and request him to cooperate to complete such a class movie ..the producer was adament.
  
  Finally kamal asked him "OK..I will fund for this portion ..You just give permission" ..the producer said "that is up to you..if you spend your own money" .Finally Kamal funded for everything including film role and completed the movie..that stupid producer realised his mistake only after the movie became super hit.
  
  what a great artist kamal hassan who love to see a deserve movie to get released and even ready to spend from his own pocket ,just for the confident he had with director mahendran.
  
  Long Live Kamal hassan!!

  Mahendran reiterated the same point in an earlier interviews he gave to DD. What a pity that they didn't do a movie togther! Mahendran worked more with Chaaruhassan than Kamal Hasan!
  S.J.Suryah said in audio release function of Kalvanin Kaadhali that he was selected as an assistant director for Marudhanayagam. Had Kamal finished Marudhanayagam, we all would have been spared of the torture that is called S.J.Suryah.(probably)

  One is woman – secrets of revived Dasavataram!!
  February 01, 2006
  
  Contrary to news and rumours that the movie has been stalled, the production of the Kamal starrer Dasavataram is going full swing albeit secretly. You know that Kamal comes in 10 get-ups in this flick.
  
  One of the roles that he plays is a full-length woman role. Yes, a termagant, a rowdy Akka who does Katta Panchayat. He has the assistance of a special make up artiste from Hollywood for this role.

  The sycophant Thamizh media is obliviously blind to all this and more. We are a society which forgets Bharathi and iconizes lesser mortals. It's a disgrace that Aandavar was born here [though He will vehemently deny such an assertion]

  Sakala, Thanx for giving me the oppourtunity.
  
  I don't know exactly at what age I became a KH fan. I think it happened when I was 11+. (still not sure).!! Two of my uncles belong to the 'KAMAL HASSAN NARPANI IYAKKAM' I watched most of the KH films with them. Unlike u, my family is full of KH fans. Except selva(who is a KH & thala fan!!), everyone is a 100% pure KH fan in my family. I never had the atmosphere of RK fans. Got that in college and school!! Even at that small age, I saw the real fight between the two groups. esp the one during Vetri Vizha. I love watching KH films with my uncles.

  My mom tells me i pestered and made my folks take me for back-2-back shows of Thoongatdhe Thambi Thoongadhe, while for Moondram Pirai the family unanimously decided to watch it twice on the trot.
  My parents and elder bro enjoy Rajini movies more than Aandavar's but i'm slowly converting them [mom especially] to Kamalism!

  Aandavar is the only actor who discourages hero-worship covertly and overtly. He is the first actor to have disbanded his fan clubs and turned them as Welfare Movements during the 200 day celebrations for Aboorva Sagodharargal WHEN HE WAS AT HIS PEAK w.r.t to fan following. There were 800 mandrams in Chennai alone, the highest for ANY ACTOR during that time. During a Thevar Magan show in Devi, he saw a group of fans [Paradise Unit members] doing decorations, stars etc. He got down from his car and scolded them. Even in functions we are always told not to shout, whistle etc and once he even walked away from his birthday function, angered by the frenzy shown by His followers.
  
  Why is He God? The same reason why Lord Krishna, Jesus, Budha, Mohammed, Guru Nanak are gods to others.

  Ya.. Also, it was he who thought of deviating from the usual formula and to try for something better. He is doing that now without compromising on "Cinema Vyaabhaarigal"(in KH terms).

  The man behind Kamal's success
  behindwoods.com
  
  You will not know him but he is T N Subramanian, Kamal Hassan's ex-manager. When he retired recently, Kamal paid him a service gratuity of rupees ten lakhs and wished him all the best for a retired life. Speaking about Subramanian, Ilayaraja said: "Kamal may be an atheist but, Lord Muraga's grace has always been plenty on him. In his debut movie Kalathur Kannama itself, Kamal sung Muruga Muruga. Also God helped him through his manager Subramanian. Subramanian is another name for Muruga." Subramanian is a meticulous and hard-working man and he has been of immense help to the versatile artiste. When Ilayaraja said thus, Kamal did give an acknowledging smile.

  Kamal as middle-aged woman?
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, February 02, 2006]
  
  Kamal Haasan is known for trying innovative things. Proving it again, the actor would appear in ten different roles in Dasavatharam.
  
  Interestingly one of the ten roles would be that of a middle-aged woman. It is learnt that a prominent make-up man from Hollywood had been specially called up to prepare Kamal Haasan for the role.
  
  In Avvai Shanmugi, an inspiration of the English flick Mrs Doubtfire, Kamal played a loving husband who in the disguise of a middle-aged woman goes to meet his daughter and set things in order in his family.
  
  Going a step further, he plans to act a middle-aged woman all through in Dasavatharam.
  
  The movie to be directed by K S Ravikumar would have musical score by A R Rehman and dialogues by Crazy Mohan.
  
  Having completed Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, all works to begin Dasavatharam would begin.

  if vijay fans talk crap then Kamal fans will say such things, then now why do you pull Ajith here?.

  Thanx aki for ending the digression in the thread..
  
  AS is ofcourse a stunning performance from KH.
  
  KH is the only person in the industry who can perform a role in N DIFFERENT WAYS just like Nadigar Thilagam Shivaji Ganesan. NO wonder he mentioned that role in AS could have been done in other ways.
  
  He never restricted himself in experimenting. We should not mention only a few movies of an actor for his acting skill. Rather each and every role done by that particular actor should remain in our minds. Other than, KH - no one did that in that generation

  Yes, but when he started out on the project, he just had one idea on how to do it. In fact, when he mentioned it to KB, KB shot back that the movie would never work and it would just be a waste of time and money. And during the first day of shooting his crew asked him if he had any other ideas and he replied yes to keep up their morale. But the truth was he was desperately trying to come up with something else to continue the shooting ('Andha nerathil KB'yin kural asireeri pola olithathu' as he says). It's another story that his mind was flooded with 8 or 9 different ideas that night and shooting continued the next day. What a genius!!

  Yes, He himself was the director at first. He shot half the movie (he played a lorry driver if I am right and Gandhimathi was his mother) and when he showed it to Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, he wasnt satisfied with it. They changed the entire story and Singeetham became the director.

  Thanx for the information kannan. What about the songs? I saw one song in which KH will be kidding his father Janagaraj. songs also removed? seems AS had gone through lot of modifications. Just like "Annaathai aaduraar othukko" song, it was like a racy song.

  Kamal’s new business!!
  February 04, 2006
  
  For years, Kamalhassan had been investing in cinema whatever he had earned. Returns were never assured and there were times when Kamal was in dire straits. For the first time now, Kamal has invested in real estate. While renovating his Edams Road house, Kamal is also building a huge complex on the premises where his office stood.
  
  The complex will house a post-production unit, a dubbing theatre, a preview theatre, a mixing studio and an editing unit apart from a large hall that would house his voluminous collection of DVDs. It is here that he would also hold his story discussions. Nothing can kill this man’s passion for cinema!

  Yes, but when he started out on the project, he just had one idea on how to do it. In fact, when he mentioned it to KB, KB shot back that the movie would never work and it would just be a waste of time and money. And during the first day of shooting his crew asked him if he had any other ideas and he replied yes to keep up their morale. But the truth was he was desperately trying to come up with something else to continue the shooting ('Andha nerathil KB'yin kural asireeri pola olithathu' as he says). It's another story that his mind was flooded with 8 or 9 different ideas that night and shooting continued the next day. What a genius!!

  
  
  Aandavar has said that Charlie Chaplin found himself in a "blocked" state like this during the making of City Lights/Limelight (not sure which of the two), where he just got stuck and didn't get any ideas for quite some time....
  
  About the movie, people have a tendency of dismissing comedies and entertainers like "comedy padam thaaney... chumma jolly-a eduthiruppaanga, timepass" etc...
  IMO, Aboorva Sagodharargal [along with MMKR] is a benchmark when it comes to ENTERTAINMENT and screenplay writing. Not a dull moment in the movie. None whatsoever!

  Thanks for reminding A_A. The movie is 'Gold Rush' and the scene is the famous 'shoe eating' sequence. Charlie Chaplin apparently ran out of ideas and the shooting was put on hold for a week. KH's predicament was similar.

  Vadivel's performance in DM was awesome. Especially the hospital scene.. KH will be bashing him for his stupidity. But he will speak about loyalty.. His dialogue delivery and acting.. simply the best!! The one and only character oriented movie for Vadivelu.
  
  I liked the "SAandu pottu" song in that movie very much. The picturisation was very natural and it will be very hard for us to find any flaw in those steps there!!

  If there's an award for turning the attention of a poster pasting fan into a useful path, it should go to Kamal. If anyone has doubts, they could have seen it in person at the Rajkamal office on TTK Road.
  
  If the all India Kamalahasan fan club celebrates a day, it should be Kamal's birthday. Starting with feeding the poor in the morning, conferring honors on literary personalities, poets meet and so on goes well into the evening. For his last birthday however, Kamal was abroad shooting for 'Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu,' so the celebrations were missing.
  
  But it was celebrated recently, though delayed. Six of Kamal's fans Jayadev, Sekar, Shanmugam, Vijayakumar and Sanjeevi pledged to donate their eyes as well as of their close relatives like parents and grand parents. "One need not be recognized just by building a palace. Such noteworthy gestures also are a reward in themselves," praised Kamal, who also donated wheelchairs to the poor.
  
  
  This function was indeed one of good will and good feeling!

  Kamal Shows The Way Again
  [Monday, February 06, 2006]
  
  Kamal Haasan's concern for the society is well known. He was the first actor who converted his fans' association into welfare organization.
  
  Keeping in spirit of his overall vision and as part of his fans welfare association, a mega event was held in Chennai on Sunday in which Kamal Haasan released a booklet on prevention of AIDS which was received by noted cardiologists Dr Harshavardhan Reddy and Dr Reddy.
  
  Kamal Haasan also distributed certificates to the members of his association who came forward to donate their eyes besides giving away welfare assistance to the needy.
  
  Speaking on the occasion, he urged the people to involve themselves in social service activities more and help the downtrodden and the needy.

  Kamal’s nod for P Vasu’s family entertainer?
  February 06, 2006
  Behindwoods.com
  
  P Vasu’s Paramasivan may not have had a good run as Chandramukhi but Vasu is not a man to be deterred. With the vast experience that he has, he will fight back. Right now, along with Hindi version of Chandramukhi, he is working on a story for Kamalhassan.
  
  Based on the lines of Shivaji-Savithri’s Paasamalar, the story will have all the ingredients of a family entertainer. Maybe, Kamal is tired of doing action or comedy flicks for he has given in instant okay to Vasu. So, after Dasavataaram, Kamal and Vasu will combine to make a modern-day Paasamalar.

  An article published by a foriegn magazine
  
  East Indian star turns fan frenzy to good works:
  
  
  Meet the most popular star who attended the recent Toronto film festival.
  
  Now 40, having acted for half his life, Hassan has about 7,000 fan clubs across India with a total "hard-core" membership of about 300,000 people.
  
  Redford, Streisand, Newman, Schwarzenegger and Hoffman don't come close to that. And neither they nor other Hollywood stars who attach themselves to socialcauses invoke their fans to follow them - certainly not as Hassan does.
  
  Hassan insists that his fans do not tattoo his name on their bodies (as fans of many other East Indian stars commonly do), don't give him presents or shower him with flowers. And he has firmly ordered them not to expect him to quit the movies for politics. It is usual for major stars of Indian movies after lengthy careers to abandon the screen for politics and to convert their fan clubs into effective campaigners.
  
  Hassan, a dashing star of mainstream movies from South India, regularly plays the outsider defending the less fortunate or noble ideals. In real-life, he has a social conscience. Instead of luxuriating in the worship of his fans and selling them T-shirts bearing his name, he asks them to volunteer their time to help the poor of tribal villages, work to help conquer illiteracy, go against Hindu tradition and will their eyes at death, donate books to orphanages and schools and regularly donate blood to the Red Cross rather than to commercial blood suppliers. And his fans do, in the thousands. For example, 10,000 people willed their eyes on "one single day."
  
  Perhaps, sly and calculating moves to a future in politics? "I don't have any political ambitions," Hassan insisted in a festival interview.
  
  "I have asked these clubs not to waste man hours. All these fan clubs of minehave been converted into social service organizations. There is this power. I can use it, or let down the social reins. They get no remuneration out of this. Many of my fans are day laborers and they have to keep this time aside from the time they keep for earning money.
  
  "I felt these people would be wasting their lives just chanting my name. If they just did that, and I don't turn political, their whole focus would be wasted. So, I gave them something to munch."
  
  Devoutly committed to social causes, Hassan refuses to sell photos of himself to his fans and does not license merchandise bearing his name, "not even a T-shirt," he declares. "They buy those from other vendors" whom he cannot legally control. "And I do not endorse any products. I don't do commercials. I've never done one in my life."
  
  Because he asked them, his fan clubs use their annual dues to publish books and an in-house magazine of short stories by young Indian writers whose careers he encourages. General movie-fan magazines follow Hassan's personal life.
  
  He has starred in 175 movies - about triple the number any Hollywood megastar makes in a lifetime of leading roles. Because of language differences, many Indian movies (600 are produced annually) are shown only regionally. His are seen nationally.
  
  His adult acting career began in 1975. "For the first six years, I didn't know what to do with this crowd which was collecting around me. I was moved to tears. Sometimes 20 or 30 boys would run 150 miles just to give me a torch. At 6.30 a.m. they'd be outside my house. I would come out and they would fall at myfeet. It's a sad sight. One can boast about it in a press interview, but not to my countrymen or to any person for that matter.
  
  "That's when I contacted people and said, 'What do I do with these guys? I can't ask them to go away. How can I be a benevolent dictator?' The idea came to do something worthwhile."
  
  Now, Hassan says, several other Indian actors have followed his example and political parties have come calling on him more urgently.
  
  The son of a top South Indian criminal lawyer, he began acting as a child "as a lark," then against family tradition studied theatre acting and dance and worked his way to choreographer, screenwriter, assistant director and handsome, brooding star.
  
  And he's sometimes different on screen, too, where - snubbing advice of producers - he has played against type, "a village idiot in one and a dwarf in another one," also to box-office success.

  kamal is the leader which i like to follow. some of his opinions he said in different times.......in his words [not abt cinemas]
  
  1) Mr.xx said that in nineties, some one who has will power and confidence as of Mahatma gandi, will emerge in asian community......Regarding Ledan Sahib, that courage and confidence are getting wasted [i forgot that Mr.xx]
  
  2) Always the country[india] is ruled by business peopl, not politicians, so its good to endorse them, than politicians - Tamilan Express[long time ago, in time of release of sethu]
  
  3) I would like Sadaam hussain to be helt in a metal cage and should be shown around iraq, on what damages has happened to ppl
  
  4) if corrupt politicians are there, its the mistake of ppl, they emerge from common circumstances only.
  
  5) cauvery water problem was existing from time of pre-independence.......
  
  6) ppl think that if they meet balachandar, they can become Rajnikanth, but they comfortable forget the effort he[Rajni] took to come to that position
  
  7) the reason why we are getting more junk movies are, the connection between literature ane cinemas has gone away, ehen ppl like jeyakanthan are kept awaym, these kinda tragedies will happen

  5o informations about Kamal.
  
  1. Kamal Hasan was born in Paramakudi, Ramanathapuram district, Madurai. His father Srinivasan was a successful advocate, who was close to the then raja of Ramanathapuram. His mother Rajalakshmi was your typical housewife, a cultured lady who was only too ready to support the young Kamal in his artistic dreams and desires. Kamal in turn was very attached to his mother, and indeed to the womenfolk in his family.
  
  2. Kamal debuted as a child star in Kalathur Kannamma when he was five years old. Gemini Ganeshan and Savitri were the lead stars in the movie.
  
  3. As a child star, Kamal acted with the two celluloid icons of the time, Sivaji Ganeshan in Paarthaal Pasi Therum and with M G Ramachandran in Ananda Jyoti.
  
  4. Even as a child, Kamal was an independent thinker. As he himself says, 'My father tried to sell religion to me, but I refused to the buy the religion of my father'.
  
  5. Kamal speaks the Madurai brand of Tamil with total ease, and has a strong affinity for people from that region -- such as Vairamuthu, Bharatiraja and Ilaiyaraja to name just three from the upper echelons of the movie industry.
  
  6. Kamal never really set out to become an actor. His dream was to direct, and he started off as assistant with dance master Thankappan. He began his stint with Thankappan in Annai Velankanni, in which he also went on to appear, in a miniscule cameo, as Jesus Christ (watch for him in the scenes where Jesus carries the cross to Calvary). It is Kamal that you see in the song Deiva Mainthan Pogindraan, which details the Stations of the Cross. At the time, Kamal was in his late teens.
  
  7. At an early age, Kamal got involved with the Malayalam industry, and in time learnt to speak all the dialects of Malayalam with ease. He in fact can speak, read and write all four South Indian languages -- Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam besides Hindi, English, and Marathi, the last named thanks to wife Sarika.
  
  8. Kamal is an ardent fan of off-beat cinema, and his favourite movie of all time is Bicycle Thief by Vittorio DeSica. He rarely misses film festivals, and his favourite Hindi films are Mughal e Azam and Sholay.
  
  9. His favourite music director, in Hindi, is Naushad. 'He is a wonder, a gem', Kamal says of the composer.
  
  10. Kamal, while still young, formally learnt Bharatanatyam and Carnatic music. A S Prakasham first introduced him as a singer, with Netaji as his lyricist. His first song was Gnayar Oli Mazhayil.
  
  11. Kamal studied at the MCT Muthiah Chetty School in Purasawakkam. However, he hated going to school, and had no academic ambitions.
  
  12. Kamal is a poet in his own right, penning free verse -- Pudhukavithai. He plans to release a compilation of his poems soon, and Vairamuthu has been asked to select from the Kamal oeuvre. Author Sujata is likely to write the foreword.
  
  13. Kamal's favourite Tamil novels are T Janakiraman's Amma Vandhaal and Marapasu.
  
  14. Kamal is into Siddha literature, and is thoroughly familiar with the biographies of 18 Siddhas, in particular that of Siva Vaakkiyar.
  
  15. Kamal and Vairamuthu are close friends. Both of them have a fetish for being 'young', and they constantly exchange jocular notes on their respective ageing process.
  
  16. Kamal knows to compose music, editing and cinematography, but believes he should not interfere with these departments, even when he himself is directing a film.
  
  17. Kamal underwent a crash course in direction, in Hollywood, and attends workshops whenever he can. He also learnt the art of make-up, while working on the Shankar movie, Indian, which won him a national award.
  
  18. Himself an accomplished dancer, Kamal names Prabhu Deva as his own special favourite. In fact, when asked to name a dancer before Prabhu Deva's era, Kamal flat out said that there is none in the annals of Indian cinema who ranks with Prabhu Deva. "None can equal him," says Kamal, who has in fact shared the lead role with the loose limbed Prabhu Deva in the film, Kaadhala Kaadhala, which includes the dance sequence Kaasmela Kaas Vandhu wherein the two dance together.
  
  19. Kamal rates Charlie Chaplin a major influence, and he in fact paid tribute to the comic genius when he played the role of Chaplin Chellappa; in Punnagia Mannan. Years ago, Chaplin had in fact participated in a Chaplin lookalike contest and came seventh! Asked how he himself would have fared, had he contested, Kamal without a blink, says "Eighth!".
  
  20. When it comes to acting, Kamal rates Sivaji Ganeshan head and shoulders above the rest, and at every opportunity acknowledges the senior star's influence on his acting. Kamal says no Tamil actor is free of Sivaji's influence. So great is his respect and admiration for Sivaji, that once, at a function where Sivaji and his son Prabhu were both present, Kamal addressed Sivaji as 'Appa', 'father'.
  
  21. Kamal turned producer for the first time with Raja Paarvai, director for the first time with Chachi 420.
  
  22. Kamal has edited a Tamil magazine named Mayyam,, in which he has frankly aired out his sometimes revolutionary views on society and religion.
  
  23. Kamal always names Ananthu as his friend, philosopher and guide, and derives his theory of cinema from him.
  
  24. Kamal's favourite art genre is folk -- songs, stories, dances.
  
  25. Though a self-proclaimed nationalist, he has a penchant for working with foreign talent when it comes to movie-making. The latest example is special effects and computer graphics whiz, Grant Page, for the under-production Aaalvandhaan (Abhay, in Hindi).
  
  26. Kamal still hopes to revive Marudhanayagam, his magnum opus. The mega-budget historical romance remains his pet dream, it will be recalled that he had invited no less than Queen Elizabeth for its launch, before the project got stuck for lack of funds.
  
  27. Kamal is an avowed atheist, and believes in the philosophy of E V 'Periyar' Ramaswamy. Some day, he hopes to do a film on Periyar, with, of course, himself in the lead role.
  
  28. Kamal and Mouli acted together in Nizhal Nijamaagirudhu. Many years down the line, the two will get together again with Mouli directing a movie featuring Kamal in the lead role.
  
  29. In these days of shirtless heroes, it is interesting that Kamal was the first full-fledged hero to take off his shirt -- in the film Arangetram, which was in fact his first 'adult' role after his years as a child star. Some might quibble that Manavan was his first adult role, but Kamal only had a fleeting appearance in that film, and that was while he was still in his teens. In Arangetram, director K Balachander had to establish that Premila was from a Brahmin family, and to do that he had to show Kamal wearing the sacred thread -- and so, no shirt for Kamal.
  
  30. Kamal made his debut as a playback singer with Gnayar Oli Mazhaiyil in Andharangam. In Avvai Shanmughi, he sang the 'female voice' for the song Rukku Rukku.
  
  31. Kamal's lip to lip kisses are the stuff of Tamil film legend. In the otherwise 'chaste' industry, Kamal has a fetish for such deep kisses. This dates back to the French actress who plays his wife in Sattam En Kaiyil. This was during the lifetime of M G Ramachandran, and the matinee idol turned politician at the time opposed the kiss, on the grounds that it was against Tamil culture and demanded that the scene be removed. Unfazed, Kamal has kisses pretty much every actress he has starred with.
  
  32. Kamal has acted in the four main South Indian languages, plus Hindi, plus, wait for this, Bengali -- this last, in the Bengali remake of Aval Oru Thodar Kadhai.
  
  33. Kamal has this penchant for learning the various arts he portrays in films. Thus, for Apoorva Raagangal, he learnt the mridangam. For his role in Aval Oru Thodar Kadhai, he learnt mimicry and for Avargal, he learnt ventriloquism. As late as Thevar Magan (remade in Hindi by Priyadarshan as Virasat), he learnt the Tamil martial arts form, Silambam.
  
  34. Kamal is a keen observer of all that goes on around him. Years ago, on the sets of Swathi Muthyam, shot on the Andhra coastline, a body was washed ashore. There was a a commotion, and Kamal went over to see what it was all about. He then used the incident in his Magalir Mattum, the ladies-only film in which the scene is duplicated.
  
  35. Among Kamal's own productions, Satyaraj has played hero in Kadamai Kannyam Kattupadu, which is remake of the Malayalam film Aavanazhi and which was directed by Santhana Bharati. Satyaraj's debut was Sattam En Kaiyil, where Kamal was hero, and that is where their association began.
  
  36. Kamal's penchant for experimentation was chiefly responsible for Singeetam Srinivasa Rao making Pushpak, the silent movie made in the talkie era.
  
  37. Kamal revers Mahatma Gandhi, and admires his thoughts. This admiration found celluloid expression in Hey Ram, where a young man discovers Gandhi's ideals just at a time when he is plotting to assassinate him. Technically speaking, meanwhile, this should rank as his directorial debut -- Chachi 420 saw him step into the director's slot only after Shantanu Sheorey walked out, and Marudhanayagam, which he is directing, is a long way away from the marquee. Meanwhile, to revert to the thought processes of the star, he also admires the tenets of Marxism, and has had long discussions on the subject with Utpal Dutt, among others.
  
  38. Kamal was deeply upset when he heard about the abduction of Rajakumar, the Kannada matinee idol, by Veerappan. After hours of gloom, he approached Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to discuss the fallout and to warn of his fears that there could be anti-Tamil riots in Bangalore.
  
  39. Kamal is a non-smoker and teetotaller, but loves non vegetarian food, chicken being his meat of choice. He generally has a light breakfast and lunch, but really goes the whole hog come dinner time.
  
  40. Kamal still has his old 'gang' of friends from his Alwarpet days -- Santhana Bharati, P Vasu, P C Sriram, Mani Rathnam, R C Shakti. Among the people he is close to, there is brother Chandrahasan, who has done a role in Kamal's first home production, Raja Paarvai and even in Hey Ram. Amitabh Bachchan, Ramesh Sippy who directed him in Saagar, Javed Akhtar, and Dimple Kapadia. Dimple starred with Kamal in Saagar, and was also in Kamal's own production, Vikram. Kamal was also very fond of the late Amjad Khan.
  
  41. Kamal was hugely appreciative of Anil Kapoor's performance in Virasaat, the Hindi remake of Thevar Magan. "He has done justice to my role," he had said.
  
  42. Kamal and Rajnikanth, the reigning superstars of Tamil movies, have done several movies together like Apoorva Raagangal [Rajni's debut], Moondru, Mudichu Avargal, Ilamai Unjalaadugirathu, Aval Appadithaan, Aadu Puli Aatam to name a few. They were last seen together in the Hindi movie Giraftaar. Their last Tamil film together Alavudeenum Arputha Vilakkum.
  
  43. After seeing Nayagan, Rajnikanth wrote to Kamal thus: "I am seeing a movie like this after so many years. Your performance is superb. You are the actor of actors". This note, is one of Kamal's most treasured possessions. Again, when Shivaji saw Nayagan, at a private show, he stayed silent for several moments after the movie had ended, then went up to Kamal and hugged him. He did not speak a word, though, while the tears flowed from his eyes. And finally, he said, only, "This movie should do very well."
  44. Kamal's favourite heroines are Sridevi and Sripriya. With Sridevi, they have paired in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
  
  45. Kamal speaks 'Madras Tamil' in Sattam En Kaiyil, which he learnt from comedian Loose Mohan, and for Sathi Leelavathi, he speaks Coimbatore Tamil, which he picked up from Kovai Sarala who plays his wife in the movie. He has this penchant for doing dialects, actually. In his latest outing, Thenali, he speaks Sri Lankan Tamil, for which he was tutored by the well known announcer and compere, Abdul Hameed.
  
  46. In the Kamal-Prabhu Deva starrer Kaadhala Kaadhala, Prabhu Deva plays a stammerer. While shooting for the film, Kamal told Prabhu Deva a joke. E M S Namboodiripad, Kamal pointed out, was one of the famous Indian personalities who stammered. So someone once asked EMS whether he was always a stammerer. "N...n...no, only when I speak," was Namboodiripad's retort, which Kamal gleefully recounted to his co-star.
  
  47. Kamal's favourite among the latest crop of movies is American Beauty. And appropos of nothing in particular, he has a fetish for almonds, pistachios, cashew, which he stocks up on and munches constantly.
  
  48. Kamal won the national award for best actor for Nayagan. While attending that function, Raj Kapoor collapsed -- and as it happened, fell into Kamal's arms. He was rushed to hospital, where he died. Kamal ranks this among his most distressing, unforgettable, experiences.
  
  49. At the 1993 Film Festival in Delhi, Kamal had in fact led a morcha, protesting against the communal riots in Bombay.
  
  50. Kamal is great.

  An article published by a foriegn magazine East Indian star turns fan frenzy to good works: Meet the most popular star who attended the recent Toronto film festival. Now 40, having acted for half his life, Hassan has about 7,000 fan clubs across India with a total "hard-core" membership of about 300,000 people. Redford, Streisand, Newman, Schwarzenegger and Hoffman don't come close to that. And neither they nor other Hollywood stars who attach themselves to socialcauses invoke their fans to follow them - certainly not as Hassan does. Hassan insists that his fans do not tattoo his name on their bodies (as fans of many other East Indian stars commonly do), don't give him presents or shower him with flowers. Hassan, a dashing star of mainstream movies from South India, regularly plays the outsider defending the less fortunate or noble ideals. In real-life, he has a social conscience. Instead of luxuriating in the worship of his fans and selling them T-shirts bearing his name, he asks them to volunteer their time to help the poor of tribal villages, work to help conquer illiteracy, go against Hindu tradition and will their eyes at death, donate books to orphanages and schools and regularly donate blood to the Red Cross rather than to commercial blood suppliers. And his fans do, in the thousands. For example, 10,000 people willed their eyes on "one single day."

  In Raajapaarvai for the song 'Andhi Mazhai' Pozhigirathu they used animation. I could not exactly recollect what it was. Something like Kamal face replacing slowly as madhavi's face.
  
  If anyone can watch the visuals of that song, check that and let us know.

  thOzhargaLE!
  The more i see/hear about MN, the more dejected i feel about this genius not being able to complete his magnum opus
  If we are feeling sad because MN has not yet seen the light of day, it is understandable. However, it is interesting [and sad] to note that an incomparable genius was suffering a much worse fate in his home-country, once even going to the point of attempting suicide. It is none other than Akira Kurosawa.

  Kamal’s assurance and Asin’s euphoria
  February 10, 2006
  
  There he was, Kamalhassan, on the cassette release function of Yuga. And who should he single out for appreciation? Kaadhal Sandhya and Asin. “I saw your movie Kaadhal. For a person of such young age, your performance was superb. Keep it up,” he told Sandhya, who could only smile back in a gesture of thanks. And the master then turned to Asin and said: You too. You’ve given a superb performance in Gajini!” Asin, however, was not like Sandhya, lacking in words. She gave a return smile and said: I’ve been a fan of yours since I was a little girl. Oh, how much I wanted to pair with you.” Guess what Kamal replied? You are right. He said: “Soon your dream will come true.”

  Kamal on himself...
  
  
  Your critic: Kamal Hasan. He is a keen critic of Kamal Hasan.
  
  Definition of life: I am learning it and hope to live long enough to experience it and leave behind something for others to read and understand.
  
  Most beautiful woman: My mother. She is the most wonderful woman and I don't care if she's beautiful or not.
  
  Best role: Always the previous one, now it is `Virumaandi'
  
  Things you want to change about Kamal: Oh! Lots. A different name, curly hair, a few inches more height, six or seven inches lesser around the waist and two or three inches more in the head. But, I have accepted everything about Kamal.
  
  Indian films Vs International films: Similar to roads. Too many potholes, manholes and a long way to go.
  
  Politician he admires: He is no more - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
  
  Definition of luck: I believe in the famous quote - "There is nothing called luck for those who deserve it". Make yourself worthy of whatever you deserve.
  
  What he feels on seeing Kamal Hasan on screen: Very flattered, very ashamed and well paid
  
  Endorsing: Hard sell only for Kamal Hasan. I will not give testimony to something I don't believe in.
  
  Philosophy in life: Yet to devise. Like others I also casually pilfer, cleverly steal.
  
  What is the real Kamal like: The `confusion' called Kamal Hasan will stay inside me. I don't want to reveal him.
  
  Media publicity: It is a double-edged sword. You should know when to say `no'. Otherwise you are victimised.

  Kamal`s non-Tamil films
  
  By Randor Guy
  
  Versatility is Kamalhassan's middle name and he has revealed his astonishing brilliance by acting not only in Tamil movies but also in other languages like Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and even Bengali. Not many actors in this part of the world can claim such distinction. Unlike other actors he does not permit his voice in the other languages to be dubbed. Indeed quality has been an obsession with this brilliant actor.
  
  Hindi
  The ace filmmaker K. Balachander introduced Kamal to Hindi movies when the Hindi remake rights of his Telugu super hit Maro Charithra was acquired by L.V. Prasad. Prasad engaged K Balachander to direct the Hindi version. Indeed K Balachander has played a significant role in shaping the career of Kamal. Ek Duje Ke Liye (1981) was a stunning box-office success in Hindi.
  
  Interestingly the producer found it difficult to sell the movie at first because Hindi film distributors were not inclined to touch a movie with a new South Indian hero. Kamal can be described as the first Tamil actor to blaze his way in Hindi Cinema with the roaring success of this film.
  
  Initially the movie was as titled Aur Ek Ithihaas (a literal translation of the Telugu title) but there were no takers. The title was then changed to Ek Duje Ke Liye (inspired by the slogan, 'Made For Each Other!') which clicked in a big way.
  
  In the wake of the scintillating success, Kamal acted in many Hindi films like Do Dil Dewane (1981), Sadma (1983) , Sanam Theri Kasam (1982), Zara Sa Zindagi (1983), Sagar (1985) and several others. However he could not sustain the initial impact of the early success and his later Hindi films did not make waves as expected.
  
  Telugu
  
  Again K. Balachander, his mentor introduced Kamal to Telugu Cinema when he re-made his Tamil success Aval Oru Thodar Kathai, under the title Anthu Leni Katha (1976). However he became a major star of Telugu Cinema with K. Balachander?s Maro Charithra (1978, in this move Kamal plays a Tamil youth falling in love with a Telugu girl - Saritha, her movie debut - which leads to many unexpected complications. Music by the maestro M. S. Viswanathan also contributed to the success of this movie we. One particular song, a duet - "Baley baley mogaadivoy bangaru naa samivoy" became a raving hit.)
  
  In Sagara Sangamam (1983) the top filmmaker K.Viswanath?s classic movie, Kamal astonished Telugu moviegoers with his dancing skills, the likes of which no hero has ever performed on the Telugu screen! (An American friend of this writer who saw the movie with him remarked that the classical dancing talents and skills of Kamal reminded him of the immortal Hollywood song and dance movie icon Fred Astaire. High praise indeed!)

  Malayalam
  
  The brilliant multi-lingual filmmaker K. S. Sethumadhavan introduced Kamal as child artiste in his hit film of 1962 Kannum Karalum. Kamal plays the role of a mother-less child and his performance was so brilliant. The father was played by one of the greatest actors of Indian Cinema and Malayalam movie icon, Sathyan who was astonished by the brilliance of this eight-year old boy! Indeed a Malayalam film director-described Kamal as 'the Male Shirley Temple of India'!
  His other films, which are big hits in Malayalam, include Kanyakumari, Ormagal Marikkumo, Vishnu Vijayam and Yeetta.
  
  
  Kannada
  Kamal?s movies in this language have not been many but Kokila (1977) was a major hit. It was the first major success of the noted filmmaker Balu Mahendra and it won high critical and public acclaim. The late actress Shobha played the female lead. Mohan, later a successful hero of Tamil Cinema made his debut in a supporting role.
  
  Kamal also played guest roles in some of the movies of K. Balachander in Kannada. They are essentially re-makes of his original Tamil movies.
  
  Bengali
  
  The only movie of Kamal in Bengali was the re-make of the Tamil movie, Aval Oru Thodar Kathai. K. S. Sethumadhavan told this writer a few days ago that Kamal excelled in every role giving it all a different and characteristic touch. "His sense of duty and devotion to his profession, art and craft is exemplary and needs to be emulated by the current crop of heroes. Pursuit of excellence has always been his goal," he said.
  
  That's Kamalhassan!

  பத்து வயது குறைந்துவிட்டேன் கே.பி. நெகிழ்ச்சி / 'பொய்' படவிழா கவரேஜ்
  
  
  பள்ளி இறுதி ஆண்டில் ஆசிரியரும் மாணவர்களும் புகைப்படும் எடுத்துக்கொள்ளும் சந்தோஷத்தை எத்தனை கோடி கொடுத்தாலும் வாங்கமுடியாது. அப்படியொரு சந்தோஷத்தை அனுபவித்துள்ளது ஒரு பல்கலைக்கழகமும் அதன் மாணவர்களும்.
  
  அந்த பல்கலைக்கழகம் - இயக்குனர் கே. பாலசந்தர், மாணவர்கள் - ரஜினி, கமல் உள்ளிட்ட நட்சத்திரங்கள்.
  
  
  இந்த அற்புத நிகழ்வுக்கு காரணமாக அமைந்தது 'பொய்' பட பாடல் வெளியீட்டு விழா.
  
  
  திரையுலகில் சதம் போட்ட இயக்குனர் சிகரத்தின் 101-வது படமான 'பொய்'யை டூயட் மூவிஸ் சார்பில் பிரகாஷ்ராஜ் தயாரிக்கிறார்.
  
  
  படத்தின் பாடல்கள் வெளியீட்டு விழா நேற்று நடந்தது. ஒரு பல்கலைக் கழகத்தின் படவிழாவை பொருத்தமான இடத்தில் நடத்தவேண்டும் என்பதாலோ என்னவோ விழாவிற்கு பிரகாஷ்ராஜ் தேர்ந்தெடுத்த இடம் சென்னை பல்கலைக்கழக நூற்றாண்டுவிழா கட்டிடம்.
  
  
  அரங்கத்திற்குள் நுழைந்தால் தென்னிந்திய திரையுலகினை சேர்ந்த அத்தனை நட்சத்திரங்களும் தலைகாட்டினர். பாலசந்தரின் பள்ளிக்கூடத்தில் பயின்ற அத்தனை பேரும் விழாவிற்கு அழைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தனர்.
  
  விழா ஆரம்பிப்பதற்கு முன்பே ரஜினியும் அதனைத்தொடர்ந்து கமலும் வர, அவர்களை தனது இடது, வலதுகளில் அமரவைத்து அணைத்துக்கொண்டார் பாலசந்தர்.
  
  
  பாலசந்தர் படங்களில் இடம்பெற்ற இதமான பாடல்களை இசைக்குழுவினர் பாடியதுடன் விழா ஆரம்பமானது.
  
  
  அதனைத்தொடர்ந்து பாலசந்தர், ரஜினி, கமல், நாகேஷ், சிவக்குமார், கவிஞர் வாலி, நடிகை ஜெயந்தி அனைவரும் மேடைக்கு அழைத்துவரப்பட்டனர். முதல் கேசட்டை கமல் வெளியிட ரஜினி பெற்றுக்கொண்டார்.
  
  
  நூறு பூக்களின் பெயர்களை மூச்சுவிடாமல் சொல்லி கே.பி.யை சிவக்குமார் வாழ்த்தி முடிந்ததும் வாலி மைக்கை பிடித்தார்.
  
  
  "வாடிக்கன் அரண்மனையில் உள்ள அழகான சிலைகளை வடித்த மைக்கேல் ஏஞ்சலோவிடம் ஒருவர் 'எவ்வளவு அற்புதமாக சிலை வடித்துள்ளீர்கள்' என்று கேட்டாராம். அதற்கு மைக்கேல் ஏஞ்சலோ 'நான் எங்கே சிலை வடித்தேன். கற்களில் இருந்த தேவையற்ற பகுதிகளை தட்டினேன். சிலை வந்துவிட்டது' என்று பதிலளித்துள்ளான். அந்த மைக்கேல் ஏஞ்சலோ போல்தான் கே.பி.யும் பல நடிகர்களை செதுக்கியுள்ளார்" என்று பாராட்டினார்.
  
  
  பழைய ஞாபகங்களையெல்லாம் தனது பேச்சில் நினைவுகூர்ந்த நாகேஷ் திடீரென்று உணர்ச்சிவசப்பட்டு 'ஐ லவ் யூ டா பாலு' என்று சொன்னபோது நெகிழ்ந்துப்போனார் பாலசந்தர்.
  
  
  "சிறுவனாக இருந்தபோது கே.பி.யின் நாடகத்தை பார்க்கச்செல்வேன். அப்போது எனக்கு தெரியாது இந்த சந்திரனின் வானத்தில் நானும் ஒரு நட்சத்திரமாக மின்னுவேன் என்பது. இதோ இன்று ராஜரிஷியாக இருக்கிறார் கே.பி." என்றார் கமல்.
  
  
  "திறமை மிகுந்த சிஷ்யர்களை கண்டுபிடிப்பதில் துரோணாச்சாரியரும் கே.பி.யும் ஒன்றுதான்" என்று குட்டிக்கதை சொல்லி பாலசந்தரின் திறமைகளை சுட்டிகாட்டிய ரஜினி, "கே.பி.க்கு தேவையான நேரத்தில் உதவிசெய்ய தவறிவிட்டேன். அதற்காக இப்போது நான் மன்னிப்புக் கேட்டுகொள்கிறேன்" என்றவாறு கே.பி. பக்கம் தலை சாய்த்தார்.
  
  
  இசையமைப்பாளர் வித்யாசாகர், பாலசந்தரை வாழ்த்தி தனியாக கம்போஸ் செய்யப்பட்ட ஒரு பாடலை ஒலிபரப்பி அனைவரையும் எழுந்து நிற்கவைத்து மரியாதை செய்யவைத்தார்.
  
  
  அனைவரின் வாழ்த்துரையில் மனம் குளிர்ந்து பேசிய கே.பி. " 'பொய்'யில் இளைஞர்களோடு வேலை செய்த அனுபவத்தில் பத்து வயது குறைந்துவிட்டது" என்றபோது அரங்கத்தில் கரகோஷம்.
  
  
  நிகழ்ச்சியின் இறுதியில் பாலசந்தரால் அறிமுகப்படுத்தப்பட்ட அத்தனை கலைஞர்களும் இயக்குனர் சிகரத்துடன் சேர்ந்து புகைப்படம் எடுத்துக்கொண்டனர்.

  Kamal Haasan, Mohanlal and Paris Hilton in the same movie?
  
  IANS
  
  THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Well known Malayalam director T. Rajeevnath, scouting for a suitable actress to play the title role in his film on Nobel Peace laureate Mother Teresa, has sent feelers to American actress Paris Hilton.
  
  "My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton," Rajeevnath told IANS.
  
  The director said he was impressed when he read a report sometime ago in which the hotel heiress said she had refused to pose nude in Playboy magazine and decided then to shortlist her.
  
  The English film will be mostly shot in West Bengal and in several foreign countries.
  
  "The preliminary script has been readied with help from scriptwriter John Paul," the director said.
  
  Rajeevnath, 54, has won a national award for direction, besides quite a few international awards. His popular films include "Moksham", "Janani" and "Thannal".
  
  "Mother Teresa" will be his 11th commercial film and he has already sold this idea to a few international production houses including the US-based First Serve International.
  
  "I am leaving for the US early next month to finalise the producer. A few production houses have evinced interest in producing this film. The budget is expected to be in the range of Rs.500 million to Rs.600 million," he said.
  
  "Although there are several actresses willing to play the role of Mother Teresa, the most widely respected and loved person, the history of the actress who is finally chosen for the role would have to be analysed thoroughly before she is chosen," said Rajeevnath.
  
  "All those whom I have contacted have agreed to do their bit to help me in this film. The cast includes Mithun Chakravarthy, Kamal Haasan, Mohanlal and several others. Veteran cameraman Santosh Sivan has also been roped in. The Ramoji Rao Film city has pledged full support for the venture," added the veteran director.
  
  Among the specialties of the film would be the character of former West Bengal chief minister Jyoti Basu, whose association with Mother Teresa is well known.
  
  "The proceeds of the film would go to the Missionaries of Charity. By June this year, the groundwork for the film would be complete and I propose to begin shooting in early 2007," said the director.
  
  Rajeevnath expects to get the blessings of the Pope for the film and also hopes to sign in sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar as music director.

  great, exactly my thoughts. I cant even imagine Kamal in a movie starring her. She is the exact antithesis of Kamal - arrogant, vain and talentless. And in the role of Mother Terasa? I wonder if the director has heard of Paris' certain 'antics' which were, er.. overt!!

  Kamal’s helping hand to Gemini Studios
  February 13, 2006
  
  Kamalhassan is worried man these days. Despite having a good film to release, he is running against a lot of hurdles to release it. However he has solved some of them with some difficulty. Once bitten twice shy. Kamal has decided to be careful with the producers he chooses for films in future. One of Kamal’s favourite production companies, Gemini, is in a shambles now. The studio has laid off many people and if something is not done now, it may go defunct. With an intention of helping this studio, Kamal has chalked out plans to make the studio, his associate producer of the next film that he wants to make.

  Film on Mother Theresa – Kamal with American actress
  - 14.02.2006
  Cinesouth.com
  
  A film is being made on Mother Theresa who was a champion of the poor. The film is being directed by Rajiv Nath who has earlier given award winning hits like ‘Motcham,’ ‘Janani,’ and ‘Thannal.’
  
  Keeping Kolkata as her base, Mother Theresa spread out her good work across the world through her missions. She has received many awards for her charity work. Her sympathizers range from the Pope to all big world leaders.
  
  To make the life of such a great personality into a film requires a lot of finance. Rajiv Nath’s budget runs to about 2700 crores. Two Jurassic park films can be made on this budget! The director’s contacts in the US are holding talks with the mega budget companies there to raise finance.
  
  Once the finances are set, Rajiv Nath plans to cast Paris Hilton as Mother Theresa! He feels she has the closest resemblance to Mother Theresa. Kamalahasan does an important role with Paris Hilton. Mithun Chakraborthy and Mohanlal also co-star in the film. Santosh Sivan handles the camera.
  
  Rajiv Nath plans to start the work after getting the Pope’s blessings. Story and dialogues are written by American John Paul. An excerpt of West Bengal Chief Minister Jyoti Basu’s speech is to be featured in the film!
  
  Bollywood bigwigs are finding it difficult to sell films made on 50 crore budgets. So, there’s a kind of buzz about how Rajiv Nath is going to sell his 2700 crore budget film!
  
  Well, whether Rajiv Nath makes the film or not, at least he will hopefully take some great pics of gorgeous Paris Hilton!

  Kamal and Paris Hilton come together for a movie on Mother Teresa.
  February 14, 2006
  
  A 2700 crore magnum opus on Mother Teresa is all set to be rolled out. The mega budget movie will be directed by the well known Malayalam director Rajiv Nath, a 54 year old veteran who has given award winning movies like Mothcham and Jenani. The director will be leaving to the US next year to hold discussions with the slated producer. The biggest surprise is that the movie will star Hollywood sensation, Paris Hilton in the title role of Mother Teresa. The heroine’s agents have already been contacted and it is most likely that she will accept the offer.
  
  Sources say that Kamalhassan will play a major role in the movie. Mohanlal and Mithun Chakravarthy are also being considered for two other important roles. Santhosh Sivan, the executive in-charge of the project is very likely to handle the camera as well. Shooting will take place in WestBengal, Yugoslavia and other parts of Europe. John Paul is in-charge of script and Pandit Ravi Shankar will compose the music.

  Kamal in film on Teresa
  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, February 14, 2006]
  
  Kamal Haasan would be acting in an English movie to be made on Mother Teresa by noted Malayalam director Rajeevnath.
  
  The big-budgeted movie would also feature Malayalam actor Mohanlal and Bollywood star Mithun Chakraborty.
  
  Speaking about the movie, Rajeevnath says, 'all efforts are on to begin a movie on Mother Teresa. In this regard I would be visiting USA early next month. A few individuals from America have expressed their desire to come forward and produce the film. It would be shot in Kolkata, where Mother Teresa began her charitable work.'
  
  Rajeevnath added, 'noted American actress Paris Hilton would play the title role'.

  The whole world knows that NAMMAVAR hates Publicity to the core unless or otherwise there is something good for tamil cinema. I have seen him sending good messages about any latest trends availble which can be useful for the tamil film world to grow up.
  
  Also,
  * He donated his BODY for the medical students work and he thereby sent a strong message to his fans and others that they should not hesitate in doing the same
  
  But when it comes to personal preferences,
  * He hates publicity
  * He is very selective in his NARPANI MANDRAM'S ACTIVITIES

  This was not censored by the censor board. Generally, i've seen theatre people 'cut' a scene or two from Aandavar movies, and in some cases, even in the FDFS. In Hey Ram, a VERY important scene was cut in Devi theatre - Aandavar meeting Gandhiji for the penultimate time, a pivotal scene, that.
  The reason is, the geniuses in the theatres think these scenes are 'unwanted' and cut them for saving time!

  From a fan called Karthick who lives in Toronto, Canada
  
  Just thought I'd share some of the recent records which Thalaivar's movie created here in Toronto, Canada when it was screened. Usually tamil movies here only run for about 1-3 weeks in total depending on the star value. In those 3 weeks usually it is only during the frist 3 days or the first week where collections are good. Because the movies come out in casettes and cd's while the movie is still playing in the theaters. But when "Thenali" was released here it created records in box office by being the only tamil movie to date to run for more than 30 days successfully. Meaning I would say even in it's 25th day the attendance was at a level of 80% during weekends. That's an amazing accomplishment since the casette and vcd's were also out afetr the first week and a half. Morever this is the only movie where the crowd grew bigger and bigger after the opening day. Everybody here loved that movie so much it's still talked about. Kamal Sir's movie always gets a great opening here in the city. There is always a great excitement and anticipation to see what he has done new in each of his movies around. The movie ticket price here is $10 dollars each. But it was for "Aalavandhan" where the ticket price for the first time was selling for $13 dollars each. The movie had a great opening here for the first 3 days but due to bad of mouth it didn't stick around for long. Movies, like Pammal K. Sambantham, Panchathanthiram, Vasool Raja M.B.B.S were all hits here. Anbe Sivam too when compared with the Tamil Nadu performance was well recieved here. Virumandi has a big opening and
  was a hit here. Hey Ram like Alavandhan opened to sky level
  expectations so the opening was there but it didn't do too well
  after. Mumabi Xpress was the first "Tamil Movie" ever in Canada to
  be released in AMC theaters in toronto. Where only hollywood movies and a few big bollywood movies have played. It is a huge theater and it's very expensive to rent the theater. Once again Mumabi Xpress opened opposite competition against Chandramukhi and Sachien playing in the same theaters with much bigger adveritsements. Mumbai Xpress opened about 2 days later than those movies with little advertisement and in a theater whose location wasn't too well know to Tamil People at that time. However, with a seating capacity of about 1000 the first show was 98% full. And the weekend shows were also housefull. So, the expectations are always there so is the opening for the one and only true "Universal Hero" Kamal Sir. The trailer of VV online here itself has created expecations of the movie to another level. 2 days after the trailer was released in Indiagltiz.com many video stores and young guys in colleges and universities were raving about how slick and cool the trailer looked like a hollywood movie. So, no doubt expect a huge opening for VV here.
  
  No wonder KSR wanted the title for Aandavar...

  KAMAL HAASAN'S SIGNIFICANT ELEVEN before 2000
  
  Kalyana Raman
  It wasn’t a great film. But the characterisation was challenging. I gave myself a new look, sport ed buck teeth and made myself ugly. Those days we didn’t have the kind of make-up facilities we have today. We used tracing paper, spirit and gum to work out the look.
  
  
  
  Padinaru Vaidinile
  It was Bharatiraja’s debut film as director. In a major change of image, I played a village bumpkin. Until then I was identified with the disco-dancer kind of hero. The accent I deployed in the film was strange for any hero to adapt.
  
  
  
  Awargal
  Again I tried a differnt accent. I played a ventriloquist in the film, for which I had to learn the art. The film was directed by K. Balachander.
  
  Ventriloquism became my pass-time after this film.
  
  
  
  Sigappu Rojagal
  It was quite a modern film for its time - in technique and execution. It had almost the same cast as Padinaru Vaithinile (Sridevi and I played the lead), and the film stood out for some outstanding performances. The Hindi version of the film (starring Rajesh Khanna and Poonam Dhillon) lacked the violence of the original, and was too cosmetic.
  
  
  
  Moondram Pirai
  I liked the story as Balu (Mahendra) narrated it, but the climax I thought was too straight and low-key. The man is left behind in a sad state of mind. So we worked on the climax, gave it a lot of padding, made it very dramatic. We had the car hitting the hero and he comes tumbling down in the rain, looking funny with a black eye and swollen lip ... he keeps on stumbling, hits against a couple of pillars... and we kept on improvising.
  
  Its success was a morale-booster. The film, an award-winner, ran for 25 weeks. A rare feat.
  
  
  
  Sagar Sangamam
  It was a brilliantly crafted film. It had one of the best screenplays I have come across. Perhaps K. Vishwanath’s best film. A tragic love story, it show-cased my talent for classical dancing.
  
  
  
  Appu Raja
  I was part actor and part engineer in it. I created the character myself and designed how the film would be shot. Today with blue mat, I could have worked wonders. For example I did nothing about the hand magician even though I needed to. It was a physically exhausting exercise.
  
  I have never discussed how we shot the dwarf. It would be like a woman explaining what’s inside her bra.
  
  
  
  Swathy Muthyam
  Another great effort from K. Vishwanath. It was an actor versus director duel. We had to match each other punch for punch. We improvised our way through this film. It was a very cleverly made film and you don’t see the conscious crafting. Not a single scene was done out of passion, but out of sheer calculation.
  
  
  
  Nayagan
  The hallmark of the film was a perfect combination of authenticity and ethnicity, which made it universal. The general perception is that ethnicity limits. But it doesn’t. On the contrary, it makes it universal. And that’s what made Nayakan work. The Hindi version (Dayavan) lacked audience backing. The theatre of action should have been UK - the Southall area - and the protogonist would have commanded the backing of the audience.
  
  
  
  Mahanadi
  I played a very simple, but real character, far removed in from what I am. He looked as if he lacked Kamal Haasan’s confidence. It seemed to go against the film, though, at the box-office.
  
  
  
  Avvai Shanmughi
  It was like looking at the other side of a chromosome. The crucial thing was the choice of the actor and the age of the character. The age of the woman was crucial to eliminate vulgarity and to keep out elements of homosexuality. I had thought of the film before Mrs. Doubtfire, though the idea crystallised after I saw Mrs. Doubtfire.
  
  Everybody thinks that Avvai Shanmughi was based on Mrs Doubtfire. But its genesis goes back several years. Avvai Shanmugham was my guru’s name. He had done a perfect enactment of a poetess on stage. So, the late S S Vasan wanted to cast him as a woman in Avayyar. But somehow things didn’t work out and he cast K B Sunderammal. I got the idea from there. I wanted to play a woman, but not a young woman because it could lead to lewdness.

  International gold exposition inaugurated by Kamal Hasan
  - 18.02.2006
  Cinesouth.com
  
  The price of gold is rising like poison. Between yesterday morning and evening, there has been an increase of Rs.72 per Sovereign of gold. How does it matter to us? It matters.
  
  The Association of Gold and Diamond Sellers in Chennai are conducting its second International exhibition. Kamal Hasan inaugurated this high cost exhibition yesterday at the Trade Centre at Nandambakkam in Chennai.
  
  About 150 participants have their stalls exhibiting gold, diamond and platinum ornaments. This exhibition alone (minus the land and building) would amount to Rs.150 crore! That is the price of the ornaments exhibited here. About 4 ‘Maruthanayakam’ can be produced with that money!
  
  Kamal Hasan is beckoning people to buy them by saying “these ornaments are directly coming from the manufacturers. They are of high quality and affordable”.
  
  It is a good chance for Khushboo who wears a different jacket to present the ‘Jackpot’ programme. On sale here is a jacket glittering with 1150 grams of gold and black beads. But the price is quite steep: Rs.10 lakhs!
  
  For our stars who are greedy of ornaments, a trip to Nandambakkam will get them all they wanted. This exhibition is open only till 20th!

  Kamal’s Kannada flick – one of the biggest hit in recent times!!
  February 21, 2006
  
  Kamal Haasan's comeback in Kannada film Rama Shama Bhama is not only the fortnight's pick but also promises to become one of the biggest hits as it has crossed 60 days. This remake of Tamil hit Sati Leelavathi has raked in collections of over Rs.20 million in the first 25 days. Produced by Lakshmi Shree Combines, the movie has grossed good revenues in recent times and both the producer Manju and director Ramesh Arvind are happy. Oorvashi and Shruthi have acted with Kamal in this laughter express.

  From chatterbox
  

  Quote:

  He was the thickly accented short, mustachioed guy in Ek Duje Ke Liye. The demi god of South Indian cinema was just another Madrasi for Hindi filmgoers. Very few Hindi filmgoers could identify with the king of creativity, Kamal Haasan at that point in time. Perhaps for that reason, he faded away from Bollywood while continuing to shine in the South. The reason was not his mustachioed self against clean-shaven Punju heroes, or else Anil Kapoor would have been a miserable flop or Jackie Shroff would have been unheard of. The reason was the acting style. Histrionics has never really been appreciated in Hindi heroes, tears, loud dialogues and painted faces stopped being in fashion after K L Sehgal. Even then they looked ridiculous. Then came the Dimple Kapadia revival in Saagar. The beautiful Goan locales with wholesome fishing and even more wholesome booze parties and colorful Goan weddings started a new chapter in Hindi films. The Maria season had come and Raja, her silent admirer with talkative eyes and a pouty tearful face, became a hit too. Competing against the pink-lipped love of Dimple's life, Chintoo, the rich brat hopelessly in love with the lady, Kamal took many sympathies with him. The dancing atop bar tables clearly put Haasan at an advantage. So did the supreme sacrifice for his love. Kamal Haasan arrived with fanfare; the Hindi audiences finally sat up and fell for his expressive ways. Around this time the media had become national, South Indian films were being remade in Hindi and many intelligent cinegoers took pride in the knowledge of the original regional cinema that inspired Hindi blockbusters. Some films were even dubbed. Films like Sadma with Sridevi playing a retarded twenty-year-old were huge draws. Kamal Haasan's acting in the film won him admirers from Hindi audiences; he was so superbly underplaying the role that could have got a Rajnikant gnashing his teeth or a Sivaji Ganesan playing full drama. Kamal had arrived, but he was still only a South Indian star. He came into mainstream cinema with films like Sanam Teri Kasam with Reena Roy and gave a few hit songs and dances. Raj Tilak (opposite his wife Sarika) and Giraftar with the Big B and Rajnikant completed his commercial trilogy in Hindi Cinema. All the films did well but Kamal Haasan could not claim the number 1 position. His amazing dancing abilities and versatile body movements, as well as his perfect timing in comedy was reflected in his Appu Raja (Apoorva Sagodarargal in Tamil). It was one of the biggest technical mysteries in Hindi films. To date everyone tries to figure out how he played the dwarf. It was a great film, at the same time hilarious and extremely touching. Around the beginning of the 90s, he again took the entire industry by storm, his film on Vardaraja Mudalaiar, a Mumbai underworld don with a golden heart, was perfectly portrayed in Tamil, Nayagan and Telugu, Nayakudu, The film was made in Hindi as Dayavan with Vinod Khanna in the lead, but no one ever forgot for a moment that this was Kamal Haasan's role. Vinod Khanna was facing unfair comparison all the time. Another remake was Eshwar, of the Telugu Swathi Muthayam, a film in which he plays a village idiot who marries a widow. It is a beautiful film, finely crafted and brilliantly executed. However, Anil Kapoor in the Hindi remake's title role came nowhere near the beautiful and sensitive original. It was time for a break and the next landing was Chachi 420, a remake of Mrs.Doubtfire. He again excelled himself in the guise of an old woman, absolutely enamoring the audience with his humour and charming Amrish Puri (his father-in-law in the film), out of his wits. The film was again wonderful and even inspired some cheap remakes like Aunty No 1., nothing in the world could put Govinda's sleazy act anywhere close to Avvai Shanmughi, though. Next was a hi-tech song-dance with the obese Manisha Koirala atop Australian high rises in Hindustani, in which he played a double role. Kamal has, by now, become an expert in trans-acting. Having played a corpse and an old man in Mayor Saab, an old freedom fighter and his son in Hindustani, old woman and a young man in Chachi 420, a dwarf in Appu Raja, he plans to play a corpse in his next venture, Ladies Only (based on 9-5). Chachi 420 was closely followed by Hey Ram which is based on his own novel. It was a perfect film technically but invited a lot of controversy because it had a thinking theme. The unchallenged sainthood of Mahatma Gandhi was being challenged and not too many people took that kindly. The latest venture is Abhay, the much-awaited double role of army man with a psychotic brother, romancing Raveena promises to be quite a sight. But Kamal Haasan will go on, there's lots more in store, we hope at least. Hindi cinema, one could say, need fresh breaths like this dynamite of talent, irrespective of his state of origin.

  I don't mind much about an actor's private life and am certainly not interested, but one of Kamal's praiseworthy qualities is that he is open about his dealings in the film industry, atleast most of the time. I remember an interview to Vikatan in 90's , where he was asked 'Neenga romba kullanarithanathoda seyalpadaratha ellarum sollarangale!' to which he replied: 'inga yaarthan kullanarithanathoda seyal padale? enna, naan konjam adhiga kullanarithanathoda seyal padaren. yen endral naan edukkira muyarchigal appadi'.

  I remember reading this too. Unfortunately he is "andangkaakai kitta vadaya parikodutha kulla nari" - Its so sad that he put all his money back into movies and end up almost in bankrupt situations now and then. I hope he reserve some money atleast for his future so he wont have to spend his last days like VKR or Kanjana. I really hope he does save some money.

  Actors Association bans interviews by actors/actresses
  - 01.03.2006
  
  The Producers association has put a ban. Distributors Association has put a ban. Now the Actors association has also put a ban.
  
  Why? Not to make bad films? No! It seems because of interviews given by actors and actresses in television, films are not running well, so they have been banned from giving interviews to TV channels. Whoever discovered that this was a reason, surely deserves a Nobel prize?
  
  For quite a while, no film has been doing well. Following this disastrous trend, The Producers Association and Distributors Association put forward their request to the Actors Association. Having gone through the demands of the Producers Association and Distributors Association, the sangam made its announcement yesterday.
  
  Members of Actors Association should not give any interview to television channels.
  
  The rule comes into effect from March 1, 2006.
  
  One such earlier ban was disregarded by Kamal. Kamal’s fine was paid then by Thanu.
  
  The latest announcement does not mention any such fine.
  
  Who will disregard the ban this time? Other actors look hopefully towards Kamal!

  Balu Mahendra with Kamal?
  
  tamil.galatta.com
  
  Director Gautaman has directed a documentary on the life of the writer and Sahithya Academy winner Neela Padmanabhan. The documentary was very recently released and Balu Mahendra and Kamal Haasan took part in it as special invitees. Balu Mahendra expressed his desire to produce a movie on Neela Padmanabhan’s novel Madhigal. Kamal replied that he enjoyed reading Neela Padmanabhan’s novel and he will continue to read all of Neela’s works.
  
  Balu Mahendra has hit up on the idea of signing Kamal Haasan with the hero’s role in the film Madhigal. Balu waits for the right time to consult this with Kamal and to gain his approval. If Kamal approves this, it will be Balu Mahendra and Kamal Haasan combination after a long time in the Kollywood industry.

This rule comes to effect from March 1, 2006. One such rule which was implemented before was disregarded by Kamal and he was fined for it. Thaanu paid the fine for Kamal.

  What a comedy? When it comes to BOLDNESS, it is KH only. Seems other actors are living on his BOLDNESS. It would be better if they stay within their limits coz the whole world knows the GUT feelings of KH. This time he is not going to get himself fined just for helping others.
  
  IMHO, KH should not do this. "Avaroda uzhaippila vaazha neraya per kaathirukaanga !! They will point their fingers on KH to justify their actions. I don't want to see the same now.

  Justice, You are wrong. KH gives interviews often. He is of the opinion that it is his own individual wish. Similarly Ajith has a policy of not giving interviews on TVs. But what I meant to say was : People are using KH for continuing their work while leaving him to suffer all and ofcourse the criticisms.

  Ya.. I got it. I really hate people who proclaim themselves as MGR in TVs.
  
  I think Surya underplayed himself in those interviews. But the concerned channel blasted it beyond proportion.
  
  KH - speaks lot about himself and his films and the recent trends. He never goes overboard.
  
  I need one interview from KH to all other actors and audience:
  
  * How to select a good script
  
  * How to justify a role given to us.
  
  Just like how he is having an idea of opening a school for acting..

  Vidya Balan in Kamal’s Dasavataram
  March 06, 2006
  
  Vidya Balan, the doe-eyed Mumbai Tamil girl hit the headlines last year for her excellent performance in Parineeta. Not many know that she acted in a Tamil film before that and was conveniently forgotten. Post-Parineeta, she got a couple of offers in Hindi and she got busy. Now, the news is that she has been approached to play the lead opposite Kamal in his forthcoming Dasavatharam.
  
  Asin is already on the project and the other heroines would be announced soon. Kamal plays ten different characters in the film and each would have a female co-star. Quite a novelty! There is also the buzz that Vidya has been roped in by Mani Ratnam for his next film, Guru in which Abhishek Bachan and Aishwarya Rai are in the lead. Way to go, lady, keep it up!

  Kamal hopes for perfect 10
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, March 06, 2006]
  
  Having completed his Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, actor Kamal Hassan has begun all works to commence his next Dasavatharam.
  
  To be directed by K S Ravikumar with dialogues by Crazy Mohan, Dasavatharam is already in the news for Kamal Haasan will be playing ten 10 different roles as the title suggests.
  
  According to Sujatha, who is penning the story and screenplay for Dasavatharam, all the ten roles have not been finalized,
  
  It is sure that he would be playing the hero as well as the villain too in the movie.
  
  The rest of the roles would be decided soon.
  
  It may be recalled that Kamal Hassan last played both the roles of hero and villain in Alavandhan.
  
  Kamal Hassan is confident of completing the movie before this year.

  A happy Kamal and his company
  March 07, 2006
  
  The cynosure at the audio-cassette release function of Kamal’s Vaettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu was Akshara, Kamal’s second daughter. Dressed in green T-shirt and pants, the girl looked like a Hollywood goddess. Sitting right beside Kamal was Gauthami. Kamal did indeed look happy with the company he had that day. Now that Vaettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu is almost complete, Kamal is busy with his Dasavataram. It has been finally decided that Asin would play one of the lead female roles but of course, there has no official announcement in this regard. Both Sivaji and Dasavataram are expected to be released on Deepavali this year.

  Kamal surpasses imagination
  
  tamil.galatta.com
  
  Kamal Haasan has always been a source of inspiration to the Kollywood industry. In his forthcoming project Dasavatharam, he is to play 10 different roles. After Aalavandhan, he plays both the hero and villain roles in this film. Even according to Sujatha, who pens the story, it is difficult for him to cope up with the story involved in this film. But Kamal is confident and takes up his precious burden as if it was light as a feather. That’s why he is called “Ulaga Naayagan”!

  Trisha in `Dasavatharam`?
  By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 11 March , 2006, 09:46
  Trisha is the front runner as Kamal Hassan’s heroine in Dasavatharam. The stories making rounds that there are 10 heroines for the 10 roles that Kamal is doing is pure hogwash.
  
  There will be only one heroine with two other girls in walk-in roles and the central character will be there throughout the film. Trisha is reported to have been offered this role, which she is actively considering.
  
  Director K.S.Ravikumar wants 75 days bulk call-sheets from Trisha who is extremely busy in Telugu where her career is going great guns. She is currently completing Prabhu Deva directed Pournami with young hero Prabhas. Following this, she will be joining Murugadoss directed Stalin opposite mega star Chiranjeevi. And next in the pipeline is Sanikudu opposite Mahesh Babu.
  
  In between she has to complete Something Something with Jayam Ravi in Tamil. Trisha is trying her best to dole out the necessary call sheet for Dasavatharam as she is very keen to do a film with the “greatest actor in India”. So will Trisha be Kamal’s heroine? Watch this space

  Kamal's 10 roles
  - 25.08.2005
  Chappani... Thetrupal... a blind man.... dwarf... Velu Nayakar... Indian... Avvai Shanmuki...what other role is left for Kamal to do? This question does not really bother Kamal, but is he prepared to do 10 roles in one film?
  
  The 9 roles that Sivaji did in 'Navaratri' is a record for Indian cinema till now. In Hollywood, Eddie Murphy has done the role of a whole family of father, mother, son, brother, grandma and grandpa in the film 'Nutty Professor' and created a record.
  
  According to the Kodambakkam sources, Kamal is to act in one such film with multiple roles, to be produced by Oscar Films and directed by K S Ravikumar with the title 'Dasavataram.'
  
  The story of 'Dasavataram' is Kamal's and he himself wanted to direct the film. But Oscar Films decided not to take a risk and handed over the task of direction to K S Ravikumar, the sources say.
  
  Whatever be the case, a Kamal film is always eagerly awaited by his fans
  
  Dialogues are by Crazy Mohan and music by A R Rehman.
  Like in 'Sathy Leelavathy' and 'Tenali,' Kamal speaks in various regional languages in this film. Writer Sujatha has contributed to the story and screenplay.

  KH had done many different kind of roles.. But this news... increases my curiosity.. Expecting the thrill..

The inauguration of this channel took place at Chola Sheraton in Chennai. Many giants like Kamal, Sujatha, Madan, journalist Maalan and others participated in this function.
  
  Nagaravi welcomed everyone with a bouquet. Here are the details about the channel.
  
  “The programs on this channel are transmitted using the KU BAND technology. During the program, one can get information by sending an sms or through telephone. Accessing internet thro telephone and broadband is possible.
  
  Through SR Plus Channel, one can get news on the important happenings in the country, business news, stock market and sports news, all at the same time.
  
  You can pay bills for all these utilities through this channel. Recharging of your mobile, banking operations, sending and receiving e-mail, participating in stock market activities is possible. You can also enjoy seeing your favorite films and hearing your favorite music.
  
  The set top box supplied by SR Plus can store up to 90 hours of video clippings, in 4x4 digital format. You can download your favorite shows and film music programs in this set-top box for enjoying it later.
  
  The channel will be operative in India from June 2006. The set-top box will be available for customers from Rs.1999 onwards,” said Nagaravi.
  
  Kamal released the set-top box and writer Sujatha received it. The VIPs present lauded this ambitious effort by Nagaravi.

  Kamal and Sujatha at Nag Ravi’s event
  March 13, 2006
  
  When Kamalhassan attends a function, you can take it for granted that it is a macro event. One such event that Kamal attended was Nag Ravi’s launching an infotainment interactive satellite channel. Nag Ravi. Does it ring a bell? Yes, the same guy who was jilted by Sneha. Some had written him off as a fly by night operator but the guy has surfaced in a big way. Also present with Kamal on the occasion were writer Sujatha, and noted TV personalities Malan and Madan. Kamal was seen chatting happily with Sujatha. Was he discussing Dasavataram? Can’t guess but the two were deeply engrossed in their talks.

  Recently saw moondraam pirai.....is see a new dimension in the role he played in that film. he loves sridevi......sincerely. in the killer-melody kanne kamalimaane the lines Kaathal Konden Kanavinal Valarthen .....melts me. what i try to say is that kamal's role not only looks like a lover but also a fatherly\motherly care to sridevi.......he feeds her, teaches her...instructs like a mom\dad does to their kid.......this kinda stuff u cant see in other heros, in this hero-worshipping tamil filmdom this film is cult classic

  
  ... I have that DVD with me ....
  Those lines "Kaathal kondEn kanavinai vaLarthEn" kills,melts u more when it appears as a bit in the climax !! ... I was sooooo moved in that scene , Kamal slowly would walk to that chair and lay there, with that bit in the background ......
  
  And it is not a cult classic , but a CLASSIC

  Dreaming about Kamal is sweet pain for 'Kaadhal' Sandhya
  
  - 16.03.2006
  We call the attention of Kamal's office to send a letter of thanks to 'Kaadhal' Sandhya. Here's why.
  On asked about the hero who has touched her heart and dreams, Sandhya immediately waxed lyrical over Kamal. Here's what she had to say:
  
  "Whether it is a daydream or a night dream, dreaming about Kamal sir is sweet pain. I absolutely adore him. Even yesterday I watched a film of his. Wow! He's done a fantastic job as a loverboy!
  
  Even at this age, he is fabulous in the love scenes. I yearn to act with him at least in one romantic scene. If I ever get a chance to act with Kamal, I would consider it as God's blessings.
  
  The only actor who has affected me and made me yearn is Kamalahasan," she said.
  
  Will the ulaganayakan treat Sandhya's love sickness?

  Friends, Though this news has been posted already by A_A. I am posting the tamil version.
  
  http://tamil.cinesouth.com/masala/hotnews/new/16032006-2.shtml
  
  கமல்ஹாசனின் அலுவலக நிர்வாக கவனத்திற்கு... 'காதல்' சந்தியா வீட்டுக்கு அவசரமாக ஒரு நன்றி கடிதம் அனுப்பிவையுங்கள்.
  
  ஏன்,
  
  எதற்கென்று நீங்கள் முழிப்பதற்குள் காரணத்தை விளக்கிவிடுகிறோம்.
  
  
  காதல்-கனவு- இதயம் தொட்ட ஹீரோ பற்றி சந்தியாவிடம் கேட்டதுதான் தாமதம், அடுத்த நொடியில் கமல் பற்றி பக்கம் பக்கமாக வர்ணிக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டார்.
  
  
  சந்தியா சொல்வதைக் கேளுங்கள்...
  
  
  "பகல் கனவாக இருந்தாலும் சரி, நடுராத்திரி கனவாக இருந்தாலும் சரி என் கனவில் இன்ப இம்சை கொடுப்பது கமல் சார்தான். எனக்கு அவர் என்றால் (கமல்) உயிரோ உயிர். நேத்துகூட அவர் நடிச்ச ஒரு படத்தை பார்த்தேன். வாவ்! லவ்வர் பாயா என்ன அழகா நடிக்கிறார்".
  
  
  "இந்த வயசிலும் காதல் காட்சிகளில் பிரமாதப்படுத்திவிடுகிறார். அவரோட ஒரு காதல் காட்சியிலாவது நடித்துவிடமாட்டோமா என்று மனசு ஏங்குகிறது. கமலுடன் நடிக்கும் வாய்ப்பு வந்தால் அதை எனக்கு சாமி கொடுத்த வரமாக நினைத்துக் கொள்வேன்."
  
  "என்னை பாதித்த, ஏக்கப்படவைத்த ஒரே ஆள் கமல்ஹாசன் மட்டும்தான்" என்கிறார்.
  
  சந்தியாவின் கமல் பைத்தியத்துக்கு வைத்தியம் பார்ப்பாரா உலகநாயகன்?

  VV songs as pointed out by sakala are turning out to be slow poison.
  
  
  My order
  --------
  
  1. Paartha Muthal naalae - By hearing this, I am completely losing myself.. awesome song...
  
  2. Uyirilae - When I heard this one initially, it didn't impress me. But a few more listens turns this one as a sweet melody that will fill your veins completely..
  
  3. Manjal veyil - another awesome song. Hariharan voice a bit racy at times and at regular intervals. HJ has provided a nice one in his own usual style.. just like "IVAN YAARO" of Minnalae and "RAHNE RAHNA HEI THERE DIL MEIN RAEHNA HAI" of RHTDM.
  
  Others songs.. karka - This one might become a hit once the movie releases.

  “Cinema is not an individual paint job” – Kamal at audio release function
  
  
  “Many made fun of bald director Viswanathan. Don’t make fun of a tonsured head. I am also going to tonsure my head for one of my roles in ‘Dasavataram.’” Kamal’s lively speech took place at the audio release function of ‘Jerry’ starring Ramesh, Shruti and Mumtaz.
  
  Kamal released the audio cassette and it was received by R B Chowdry and K S Ravi Kumar. To boisterous applause, Kamal said cinema is a collective effort and “not a paint job to be done by an individual.”
  
  
  Mumtaz was tightly wrapped in a sari and made everyone’s eyes open wide. Though she looked pretty, she still had a matronly look. It’s high time she did something to reduce.
  
  
  Despite making errors in films, the reason for his continuing to stay in films is because of his family’s collective criticism, said Kamal. The same could be true of his personal life too, commented a naughty scribe.
  
  
  Bhagyaraj, Crazy Mohan, music composer Ramesh Vinayagam and director S P Kanthan also spoke at the function. According to Bhagyaraj, “Comedy films are safe. It’s the action film that is risky.” He was referring to the financial risk!
  
  
  When the function got over, Mumtaz approached Kamal. As everyone, including Kamal, looked apprehensively at the kattipudidaa actress, she stood demurely before Kamal and told him hesitantly that for a long time, she had been wanting to take a photograph with him! Kamal immediately signaled to the photographers and the glow on Mumtaz’s face surpassed the brightness of the camera flash!

  most of the folks preferred the song that you mentioned in pretty much the same order. Lot of ppl didnt mention about neruppae song. take my word. neruppae song will be the numero uno once movie is released. lyrics in neruppae song is so beatuiful and so does the male singer. to HJ for neruppae.

  NJV, Neruppae doesn't impress me like Paartha muthal naalae.. But Neruppae reminded me a good old song. couldn't recollect it. Atfirst, I thought that Neruppae was a remix. Then I understood that it is not.
  
  Also, I am feeling like as if I am hearing a good old tune whenever I hear Neruppae.
  
  All other 3 songs (in my list), impressed me a lot . That's why I prefer them (hear them) more. That doesn't mean that Neruppae is a bad one.
  
  I agree with u that it might do well once the film releases. Till then, it is "PAARTHA MUDAL NAALAE" which will play in my desktop forever.

  A_A, ida mattum sollaatheenga. coz even I saw "C U @ 9" running successfully for 150 days in chennai. IMHO, RDB rocks. and it is fine. But we should not measure it only with chennai alone for any movie. I think chennai box office is behaving strange nowadays.

  Kamal could star in Kannada film again
  - 23.03.2006
  
  After a long time, Kamal has scored a century in another ground. He starred in ‘Rama Shama Bama’ which has run for the 100th day yesterday in Karnataka. Ramesh Aravind is all smiles at the success of the film.
  
  As soon as it was decided to re-make ‘Sathi Leelavathi’ in Kannada, Ramesh Aravind immediately asked for Kamal’s call sheet. A close friend…he has acted in many of his films…Kamal immediately said OK and it was decided to call the re-make ‘Rama Shama Bama.’
  
  Directed by Ramesh Aravind, the film is a super hit and Ramesh has decided to continue with directing films. “I plan to direct films in Kannada and Hindi. I intend to ask Kamal for his call sheet.” He will come to Chennai for the purpose.
  
  The celebration of ‘Rama Shama Bama’ will take place next month at Bangalore. Kamal is to be the chief guest and a convenient date for the function will be finalized at Chennai.
  
  Kamal is to fly to America for ‘Dasavataram,’ the purpose being to get his make-up kit ready for the 10 roles he is to don in the film. Once that’s done, the shooting for ‘Dasavataram’ will start.
  
  With such a busy schedule, would Kamal be able to give dates to Ramesh Aravind? Those who know about their friendship are sure, it will materialize.

  Kamal to act in Ramesh Arvind’s bi-lingual flick?
  
  
  The resounding success of Rama, Shama, Bama has made Ramesh Arvind try his hand next at comedy to be made simultaneously in Kannada and Hindi. The man whose debut as director has created records in collection in Kannada industry, spoke on the 100th day of the film. He said that he had been very fortunate to work with Kamal who did a Kannada film after a long gap. Their friendship flowed over on to the sets and the film became a hit. Now, he is busy planning the script for his next film which would also be a comedy and bilingual. He said that he had only Kamal in mind and would soon come to Chennai to discuss the story. He hoped that Kamal would spare his dates. However, we know that Kamal is committed to Dasavatharam and it would be a long project.
  
  
  May be he would do Ramesh’s film for friendship sake but only after completing Dasavatharam or may be he would ask him to look for other heroes which seems quite unlikely. Ramesh would prefer to wait.

  Ramesh Arvind's interview in rediff.. Talked about his relation with Kamal and RSB..
  
  Till his first directorial debut Rama Shaama Bhaama, Ramesh Arvind was known only as an actor. With the film -- a remake of Kamal Haasan's Sati Leelavati -- completing hundred days in Karnataka, Arvind is now recognised as not just a director but a successful one.
  
  Even when he is busy working in films like Ekadhantha, directed by noted actor Sachin, Ramesh is busy looking for good scripts so that he can direct another film this year itself.
  
  In a freewheeling interview, Arvind says he ventured into direction only because of Kamal Haasan. Excerpts:
  
  How do you feel with Rama Shaama Bhaama completing 100 days and your work being appreciated?
  
  It is a great feeling. First I would thank the people of Karnataka who have so overwhelmingly supported my efforts. I should thank Kamal Hassan also as he has been an inspiration to me. It was he who forced me to take up direction.
  
  Many people in the industry now tell me that I should have directed films earlier. But I must say if not for Kamal Sir, I would not have taken up the responsibility of direction.
  
  Success is a morale booster. The success of Rama Shaama Bhaama has changed the way the industry looks at me. Now I am accepted as an actor and a director.
  
  You seem to enjoy a special relationship with Kamal Haasan. How that develop?
  
  If there is one person I wanted to emulate in the field of cinema, it is certainly Kamal Haasan. I am lucky that I came into contact with Kamal very early in my career. We developed an instant liking for each other. I am really grateful to Kamal Sir that he not only agreed to act in my first directorial venture but also agreed to part with the remake rights of Sati Leelavathi to K Manju, a well known producer of Kannada films.
  
  Do you remember your first meeting with Kamal Haasan?
  Yes, that happened in Bangalore. The occasion was the 50th day celebration of his Telugu film Sagara Sangamam. I had compered the function. Kamal just smiled at me when I spoke.
  
  Then I got to act in K.Balachandar's Sundara Swapnagalu. I did what Kamal Sir did in the Tamil original Solla Thaan Ninaikkiren. After that, Balachandar Sir invited me to Chennai to act in Punnagai Mannan. Unfortunately, the role conceived for me could not be accommodated in the final script. It was then that Balachandar Sir introduced me to Kamal Sir.
  
  I acted with Kamal Sir in Unnal Mudiyum Thambi first, followed by many other films.
  
  Do you feel direction is a tough job?
  It will be an understatement if I say a director's job is the toughest in the film industry. The director is not just the captain of the ship, he should be able to handle everything about the film.
  
  Success does not come easily in this industry, and that is one thing I have learnt from my Guru K. Balachandar Sir -- he is active even in his eighties.
  
  Were you not supposed to direct a Tamil film with Kamal?
  Yes, I was to direct a film called K G starring Kamal and myself. In fact, we had discussed the script several times here in Bangalore. Singeetham Sreenivasa Rao was involved in the writing of the final script. But then all of us decided to keep it aside for some time.
  
  Why did you opt for a remake as your directorial debut?
  
  I don't know why some people still harp on this aspect. I would rather ask a counter question: Why should I have taken an original subject for my debut?
  
  That Rama Bhama Shama is the remake of Sati Leelavathi is well known. But I am proud to say that Rama Shaama Bhaama is essentially my film. The focus was different in the Tamil film directed by Balu Mahendra. When the film was remade in Hindi by David Dhawan, he opted to focus more on comedy.
  
  Similarly, I have also made a lot of improvisations for the Kannada audience.

  Ramesh hopes to rope in Kamal
  IndiaGlitz [Friday, March 24, 2006]
  
  Kamal Hassan starrer Kannada flick Rama Shama Bhama, a remake of Tamil hit Sathy Leelavathy witnessed huge crowds wherever it was screened in Karnataka. The movie, which completed a 100 days run, recently is witnessing good collections at the box office.
  
  Buoyed by the success of his debut directorial venture Rama Shama Bhama, Ramesh Aravind is planning to direct a bi-lingual this time (in Kannada and Hindi). Guess who will be playing the lead role? Ramesh Aravind is hopeful that he would convince his friend Kamal Hassan to play the lead role in the movie.
  
  Kamal Hassan has completed his Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu and is busy with his next project Dasavatharam. Will the actor accept the offer to play the lead role in Ramesh Aravind's movie is the million-dollar question?

  Kamal Haasan visited Mumbai to deliver a lecture to a huge audience.
  The topic was "The next generation in cinema industry". As there was a
  huge crowd, there was a lot of noise, which could not be controlled.
  But when Kamal came to the stage to give his speech, there was pin-drop
  silence in the venue which continued till the end of his speech. After
  he had finished, the clapping proved to be deafening and there was
  applause everywhere. Kamal proves to be not only a king in Tamilnadu
  but in the whole world! That's why he is called "Ulaga Naayagan"!

  Kamal charms Kolkata (source: www.behindwoods.com)
  
  The man who is the internationally recognized face of Indian actors, Kamal Hassan, is at his best when talking about his greatest passion – cinema. An artiste par excellence, he continuously reinvents himself to bring a new dimension to his cinematic pursuit. Widely regarded as the only actor who believes in cinema for its own sake, he invests time and money to satiate his hunger for perfection.
  
  A well read and widely traveled guy who is exposed to international cinema he can hold forth on any topic in films. He charmed a motley group sharing his deep interest in films. He was in Kolkata on Holi to inaugurate the new branch of the DVD lending library, Cinema Paradiso. Kolkata is the fourth outlet of this venture promoted by three film aficionados. The library holds original DVDs from films all over the world and not just restricted to Hollywood. Kamal was quite candid in stating that films have to get more content-rich rather than rely on technology alone. Technology can only dazzle but it cannot substitute for a good story. He praised Cinema Paradiso for bringing films from Europe, Africa and Latin America, thereby providing more variety to the viewers and giving a better perspective on good cinema.
  
  
  He disclosed the great reverence he had for the legends like Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen. He appreciated the stress laid by Bengali filmmakers on projecting good content on screen and hoped that others would follow suit. He expressed happiness about the developments in Tamil cinema. But, he wanted Tamil films to be packaged and marketed well for the home viewing segment. This he suggested would pave the way for eliminating piracy. He hoped attempts like Cinema Paradiso would find better patronage with the viewing public. The owners have planned to open their next outlet in Delhi followed by Mumbai and Pune. They have also said that they would shore up the collections to be a world class reference for film buffs, students and the public.
  
  Kamal has Vettaiyadu Villayadu lined up for release and his next project, Dasavatharam, will also showcase his skills as a writer.

  Little hearts steal Kamal’s heart
  March 27, 2006
  
  Before getting down to the making of “Dasavatharam” full-throttle, Kamalhasan has been taking time off and on to attend charity shows and cultural events. He was the chief guest at the Annual Celebrations of Vael’s Billabong International School that was held last Saturday. Kids danced and sang their way into everybody’s hearts. The programme included the making of a “fruit salad” which had kids dress up as various fruits. The tiny tots also spread the message of “Save our forests” and maintaining the “ecological balance” in two different skits.
  
  Kamal remarked that for once, it was a great feeling to watch someone else perform on stage, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the show.

  I am not sure about anbe sivam (but it is excellent movie) but Guna was well ahead of its times. Hey Ram was also well ahead of its times. As far as Hey Ram is concerned people are not yet ready to see the movies which shows grim reality.

  I stumbled upon this Kamal filmography page in a Polish website! http://www.filmweb.pl/Kamal,Hassan,filmografia,Person,id=153273

  
  Wow !!! Thatz very inmpressive to Ulaga nayagan
  
  And , referring to wikipedia's Kamal filmography ...
  They have duplicated a lot of films with their other language dubbings !! for ex:-
  (Nayakan, Velu nayakkar - Hindi, Nayakadu - Telugu
  Punnagai Mannan, dance master - Telugu
  Aboorva sagotharargal, telugu dubbing
  Virumaandi, telugu dubbing
  MX, telugu dubbing
  ......................................etc .,.....)
  Thats why the list goes for more than 240! So the actual no. of Kamal films shud be just more than 210 , like mentioned in Kamal's website ... And more than 80 of them are in other languages , so essentially abt 130 films in tamil !!!

  Dalapathi is definitely a commercial hit than Guna.
  
  Guna - great movie
  Dalapathi - Good movie
  
  Someone said Anbesivam is below average. Hmm... I am glad I am KH fan.
  
  That year, Rajini won state govt best actor award and KH was given "speical mention" award.

  It is quite difficult to judge the Mega hit status of a movie based on collections as the value for money changes in dfifferent period.
  
  The biggest hit probably could be either SKV, Indian or Thenali. Definetly not VR MBBS.

  Kamal married Vani Ganapathy in 1978. The marriage was turbulent, issueless and lasted 7 years. Kamal's second marriage was more successful lasting 17 years. He married Sarika in 1985. His first daughter - Shruti - was born the same year while his second daughter - Akshara- was born in 1991. Since 2002, Kamal lives with his long-time girlfriend and actress - Gauthami - and her child.

  I just watched Cinema Paithiyam(1975) and Apoorva Ragangal(1975) on video. Kamal dons a positive-guest role in the former and leading role (real debut) in the latter.
  
  Apoorva Ragangal was undoubtedly a controversial flick based on incestuous relationships. Though the climax is ambiguous, this film became a template for several Kamal films for the next couple of years. Its difficult to believe that this film received several awards from the state and centre.

  Sorry Guys,
  He was definetly not describing about the role of Rajini. His wording were meant in a way of insulting him. Even if he was thinking in the manner you were believeing, he should have taken extra care in writing those words. This is a public forum where lots of people with different thinking comes and goes. We should be extra careful while describing abt anayone. This is not the first time he wrote like that. Even in other places he wrote in a similiar fashion when there is no need for those comments.
  
  However I did not make any complaints about him.

  Kamal`s non-Tamil films
  
  
  Versatility is Kamalhassan’s middle name and he has revealed his astonishing brilliance by acting not only in Tamil movies but also in other languages like Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and even Bengali. Not many actors in this part of the world can claim such distinction. Unlike other actors he does not permit his voice in the other languages to be dubbed. Indeed quality has been an obsession with this brilliant actor.

  In Pictures:
  
  Best performances
  
  Various faces!
  
  
  
  The ace filmmaker K. Balachander introduced Kamal to Hindi movies when the Hindi remake rights of his Telugu super hit Maro Charithra was acquired by L.V. Prasad. Prasad engaged K Balachander to direct the Hindi version. Indeed K Balachander has played a significant role in shaping the career of Kamal. Ek Duje Ke Liye (1981) was a stunning box-office success in Hindi.
  
  Interestingly the producer found it difficult to sell the movie at first because Hindi film distributors were not inclined to touch a movie with a new South Indian hero. Kamal can be described as the first Tamil actor to blaze his way in Hindi Cinema with the roaring success of this film.
  
  Initially the movie was as titled Aur Ek Ithihaas (a literal translation of the Telugu title) but there were no takers. The title was then changed to Ek Duje Ke Liye (inspired by the slogan, 'Made For Each Other!') which clicked in a big way.
  
  In the wake of the scintillating success, Kamal acted in many Hindi films like Do Dil Dewane (1981), Sadma (1983) , Sanam Theri Kasam (1982), Zara Sa Zindagi (1983), Sagar (1985) and several others. However he could not sustain the initial impact of the early success and his later Hindi films did not make waves as expected.
  
  Telugu
  
  Again K. Balachander, his mentor introduced Kamal to Telugu Cinema when he re-made his Tamil success Aval Oru Thodar Kathai, under the title Anthu Leni Katha (1976). However he became a major star of Telugu Cinema with K. Balachander’s Maro Charithra (1978, in this move Kamal plays a Tamil youth falling in love with a Telugu girl - Saritha, her movie debut - which leads to many unexpected complications. Music by the maestro M. S. Viswanathan also contributed to the success of this movie we. One particular song, a duet - "Baley baley mogaadivoy bangaru naa samivoy" became a raving hit.)
  
  In Sagara Sangamam (1983) the top filmmaker K.Viswanath’s classic movie, Kamal astonished Telugu moviegoers with his dancing skills, the likes of which no hero has ever performed on the Telugu screen! (An American friend of this writer who saw the movie with him remarked that the classical dancing talents and skills of Kamal reminded him of the immortal Hollywood song and dance movie icon Fred Astaire. High praise indeed!)
  
  Malayalam
  
  The brilliant multi-lingual filmmaker K. S. Sethumadhavan introduced Kamal as child artiste in his hit film of 1962 Kannum Karalum. Kamal plays the role of a mother-less child and his performance was so brilliant. The father was played by one of the greatest actors of Indian Cinema and Malayalam movie icon, Sathyan who was astonished by the brilliance of this eight-year old boy! Indeed a Malayalam film director-described Kamal as 'the Male Shirley Temple of India'!
  
  His other films, which are big hits in Malayalam, include Kanyakumari, Ormagal Marikkumo, Vishnu Vijayam and Yeetta.
  
  Kannada
  
  Kamal’s movies in this language have not been many but Kokila (1977) was a major hit. It was the first major success of the noted filmmaker Balu Mahendra and it won high critical and public acclaim. The late actress Shobha played the female lead. Mohan, later a successful hero of Tamil Cinema made his debut in a supporting role.
  
  Kamal also played guest roles in some of the movies of K. Balachander in Kannada. They are essentially re-makes of his original Tamil movies.
  
  Bengali
  
  The only movie of Kamal in Bengali was the re-make of the Tamil movie, Aval Oru Thodar Kathai. K. S. Sethumadhavan told this writer a few days ago that Kamal excelled in every role giving it all a different and characteristic touch. "His sense of duty and devotion to his profession, art and craft is exemplary and needs to be emulated by the current crop of heroes. Pursuit of excellence has always been his goal," he said.
  
  That's Kamalhassan!

  You are right.
  
  This movie was remade in Hindi as "Aakree Rashta" with Amitabh in the lead role. In Hindi Bhakyaraj itself directed the movie. There too the movie was a big hit.

  Chanakyan was not a remake.
  
  Here follows a review by a fan about the movie
  
  The plot of the movie is quite familiar : the poor man meets rich girl ..rich girl falls in love.. poor man says no ....rich girl nags on .. poor man agrees... and evil father-in-law makes life miserable for poor man.But don't let that stop you from watching the movie - it is refreshingly interesting.That is mainly because of the trio of Kamal Hassan,Thilakan and Jayaram. They fit in so well into their roles as if they were born into them. Kamal Hassan puts up an extremely brilliant performance , both as Johnson the unemployed church choir violinist and as Johnson the intelligent avenger who weaves the web around his enemy with infinite accuracy.Thilakan too puts up a great show as MadhavaMenon, the chief minister of Kerala(!)whose daughter Renu(Urmila) is in love with Johnson.He takes every trick in the book to make Johnson leave his daughter alone but as they say Love is blind ( ..and silly) and so he goes for the extreme measure .He ruins Johnson's family .. makes them commit suicide and leaves a very battered Johnson to rot in a railway track. Johnson gets a double shock as he learns that Renu committed suicide.
  
  What does he do? Unlike the ordinary hero who would either drink and die or takes up an axe to hack the villain,he decides to ruin MadhavaMenon's life slowly and steadily.He uses Jayaram to mimic Mr Menon's voice and switches his election campaign ... first on radio and then on TV .. then he makes huge withdrawals from banks from the CM's fund ... and finally traps the CM in a nail biting climax. Jayaram's love interests and Madhu as the investigating officer consist the further part of the movie. The movie Chanakyan also introduces Urmila Matonkar into filmdom but she doesn't have much to do except look pretty.
  
  And of course there is that theme music that follows Kamal Hassan around as he goes on in search of his prey.The music is simply scintillating and it makes you feel so very involved in the film. Mohan Sithara can take credit for that.
  
  Overall it is a good bet if you are interested in a good revenge-seeker film and I give it a 9/10 ( the one point taken of due to the excessive dosage of drama) and be sure to watch it on a stormy Saturday evening..

  Senthamarai on Aandavar:
  
  Source: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/kamalhassanfanclub
  
  

  Quote:

  The quote by actor Senthamarai was made at the 125th day function of Kakki Chattai, where he said Kamal is equal to "rendu MGR and moonu Sivaji". It is one of the unforgettable comments on Thalaivar. As the comment was made in a Sathya Movies function when MGR was still alive. In fact Senthamarai who is an atheist had only a picture of Kamal in his house.

  "Annatha Aadurar" is a perfect song for KG' KH's versatility. Equal credits to Maestro IR. It was picturised beautifully.
  
  Later the culprit "Deva" has entirely spoiled this genre with the likes of PD(Indu,etc..) & Vijay following the trend foolishly.

  Kamal’s new tack
  April 06, 2006
  
  Kamal is a different man these days. He is no longer the publicity shy person. He attends every function and pooja in the tinsel town. He attended a dozen functions last month alone. When asked how he had changed his attitude, Kamal said: “I am senior artiste. I can’t turn down invitation. Moreover, it provides an occasion to move and get to know the people of the industry. Above all, I feel relaxed and rejuvenated when I attend such functions. Who knows when Dasavataram starts, I would have the time at all to socialize!” By the way, Kamal is always accompanied by his daughter Akshara and his ex-pair Gauthami.
  _____________________________________________________
  
  I love the way he's explained the concept of SOCIALIZING in the highlighted lines !!

  This is a old interview.. But wud be appropirate here ..
  
  
  Monday, Sep 13, 2004 , THE HINDU
  Kamal, a phenomenon
  
  Not willing to rest on his laurels, Kamal Hassan, the unstoppable seeker of new thrills, is yearning to explore more, writes K. JESHI
  
  
  FOR KAMAL Hassan, normal is boring. New make-up, looks and roles have always fascinated this versatile actor. He has experimented with every conceivable role and is always striving to extend the parameters of cinematic expression, managing to make them tick at the box office too.
  
  With his repertoire of richly layered performances spanning over four decades, he represents celluloid brilliance. In tune with the interest of filmgoers, he has now given a laugh-riot Vasoolraja MBBS, a remake of the Hindi blockbuster, Munnabhai MBBS. Basking in his latest success, the actor talks about himself and the world of cinema in an interview. He was here to participate in a face-to-face with students of the GRD School of Commerce and International Business.
  
  Success of Vasoolraja
  
  "Vasoolraja has lived up to its name. The response has been excellent. In fact, newspapers had written that more than 10 million people have watched the movie. The number corresponds to ticket sales and, in turn, excellent business," he says.
  
  Ask Kamal if the actor in him, who was willing to experiment, has taken a backseat and he replies: "No, he drives carefully and cannot afford to take the backseat. I have been experimenting continuously but in a slow pace right from movies like Moonram Pirai, Sakalakala Vallavan, Raja paarvai and Salangai Oli. It doesn't mean that Raja paarvai was a failure and so, I shifted to other roles. I also acted in Vikram, which was a commercial hit, but failed to win the appreciation of the people and film critics," he explains.
  
  `Niche' movies
  
  Kamal is tech-savvy, no doubt. So, will one get to see him exploring digital technology? "Filmmaking has moved into the digital era and I will make the transition very smoothly. I want to make films for the `niche' market, whose potential is still left untapped."
  
  Kamal regrets making a huge investment for a niche market movie like Hey Ram (Rs.11 crore excluding his salary - twice the amount spent on Vasoolraja). "People don't like to watch the same kind of movies all the time. A movie like Autograph was a hit because the audience liked it. Good movies made with a low budget should be encouraged," he opines.
  
  A certain amount of screenplay changes and `attitudinal promotions' of movies also matter for success. "Mahanadhi was a superior heart-rending film that left an impression in your heart but it failed. The English version of Hey Ram titled Confessions of the Assassin is being made in a limited budget and I realise I should have done it that way. You learn from mistakes."
  
  Trends in cinema
  
  What's up with Marudhanayagam? "It is a nice movie that has to be released in Tamil, English and French. My investment of Rs. eight crore is totally blocked. It should happen very soon."
  
  Talking about trends in movies, he says: "We have forgotten history. When you look back, there were movies like Udhiri Pookal, 16 Vayadhinilae and the like, which followed a trend. That's not the case now. There is little interval between movies... Virumandi followed an excellent story telling narrative woven in a commercial format, a trend unseen in Tamil movies."
  
  No politics
  
  Mention politics and his disinterest is obvious. "I don't have time for it ," he says firmly.
  
  When asked if audience was mature enough to understand his vision, he says: "Never blame the audience. They are mature enough and have every right to question and clarify their point. Until Sivaji Ganesan told me, I did not know that his movie Utthama Puthiren was a flop. It doesn't mean that the movies are bad or your vision is blurred; probably the way it was presented is wrong."
  
  His parting shot: "I am behind by 20 years, but people say I am ahead."

  Snippets...
  
  Your critic: Kamal Hassan. He is a keen critic of Kamal Hassan.
  
  Definition of life: I am learning it and hope to live long enough to experience it and leave behind something for others to read and understand.
  
  Most beautiful woman: My mother. She is the most wonderful woman and I don't care if she's beautiful or not.
  
  Best role: Always the previous one, now it is `Virumaandi'
  
  Things you want to change about Kamal: Oh! Lots. A different name, curly hair, a few inches more height, six or seven inches lesser around the waist and two or three inches more in the head. But, I have accepted everything about Kamal.
  
  Indian films Vs International films: Similar to roads. Too many potholes, manholes and a long way to go.
  
  Politician he admires: He is no more - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
  
  Definition of luck: I believe in the famous quote - "There is nothing called luck for those who deserve it". Make yourself worthy of whatever you deserve.
  
  What he feels on seeing Kamal Hassan on screen: Very flattered, very ashamed and well paid
  
  Endorsing: Hard sell only for Kamal Hassan. I will not give testimony to something I don't believe in.
  
  Philosophy in life: Yet to devise. Like others I also casually pilfer, cleverly steal.
  
  What is the real Kamal like: The `confusion' called Kamal Hassan will stay inside me. I don't want to reveal him.
  
  Media publicity: It is a double-edged sword. You should know when to say `no'. Otherwise you are victimised.

  Sandiyar,
  You are right. Kamal is the only one involved in giving silver jubilee movies in many languages. I am not sure about Bengali movie though.
  
  I was looking at your site www.universalherokamal.com . I could not see silver jubilee movies under Kannada and Malayalam. Is there any reasons for that. Is that the list of movies ran silver jubilee in Tamil nadu alone?
  
  You did a great work in developing that site. Keep up the good work..

I many times had read that Kamal (& Sridevi) were already superstars in Malayalam cinema , before they became in Tamil cinema !! (And that Malayalis still call Kamal as "Our Kamal" was even mentioned by Nammavar in interviews !! ) ....

  Kamal Hassan: “No house for me.”
  April 16, 2006
  
  They say that Kamal is the only actor who invests money made from cinema into cinema again. Months back he shifted his house from Alwarpet to a rented bungalow in Neelangarai. His Alwarpet house has been turned into his office and it is from there he transacts all his business. As we said earlier, he has plans to construct a shopping mall associated with cinema there.
  
  It nowadays takes a little bit extra time to reach any events or function, since he gets caught in traffic jam. The house in Neelangarai is a huge one and Kamal likes it. He also threw a new year party here, attracting a huge VIP crowd from the industry. Recently, the house owner offered to sell the house to Kamal but the guy declined. “It’s a huge sum. If I invested that money in a movie, I can earn many folds,” Kamal is reported to have said.

  Bay, as usual, thanks for the news. I hope and wish that Kamal save some money. I hope he doesnt suffer financially like Shivaji and many other former actors suffered. I am sure at the end Rajini will help him but he should have something for his daughters and himself for future.

  Marudhanayagam Pictures...
  
  Before that, my rambling note. I saw. I read. I was thrilled, excited and also sad. I hate to believe rumors that Camel Hassan's 'to-be magnum opus' Marudhanayagam will never get to see the light of the silver screens. I have my own reasons why Marudhanayagam should and should not release. The reasons why it should outplay the others. I expect just like millions of other kollywood fans, Kamal's dream would reach the screens and entertain us. Though wanting to explain the reasons in detail, holding you back before reading the email isn't quite right. Here you go.
  
  Hi Guru,
  
  I have been quite a frequent reader of your blogsite. I am too as passionate as you are about stuff like music, movies etc...Just wanted to share this incident with you.
  
  Few months back I had this official trip to Switzerland, France and Belgium... And during one of those weekends at Evion, France, I met this French guy at a Cruiser in Lake Evion who happened to be my friend's old time mate. Once after he knew that I was an Indian, he immediately started to converse about Kamal Hassan. Did although pronouce it in a wierd "Camel Hasaan" way... He told me that he had worked in a French production company and spoke very highly of Kamal whom they met during his visit to France in 1997-98 for Marudhanayagam related work. The whole conversation with him ranged from films to Kamal to the very very special Marudhanayagam. He was asking me if I had Marudhanayagam DVD and if I could get him one! And after when he heard that the film wasn't got to be made, he was little put off as he said he had seen about 15 minute footage on Marudhanayagam and was amazed by the performances and script. He said its sad that such ideas and importantly days of hard work has been locked and never let out. It seemed that the range of the protaganist character in the movie was phenomenal, the adjective what he exactly used. As the character travelled from an untouchable lower caste to a near revolution to an almost death to joining an army force and then on to lead a kingdom.
  
  I was just amazed by his narration for few reasons that his experience with Marudhanayagam happened before 6-7 years and importantly that he actually never knew the story or read the script. He said he had just seen the footage and a ppt presentation in french. He also claimed that Marudhanayagam was planned to been shot in French too apart from English.
  
  I had to leave soon and before leaving I got a promise from him for mailing me pictures of MN which after initial hesitation he did. It was a wonderful experience to talk to someone knowledgable as him and bout something really Indian and that too to a French who loved Lagaan and kept humming Orey Chori from the same soundtrack (was a huge follower of AR).
  
  After few weeks I did get a whole lot of Marudhanayagam Pictures and wav files of some french and tamil dialogues.
  
  Guru, I am sharing few of them and I am sure you will be as thrilled to see them as I was. Keep posting blogs and opinions and your views does matter mate and its become a daily routine to checkout updates and articles on stuff like Google, AR, Maniratnam, IR to Kamal, Movies, Carnatic etc. Way to go. keep 'em coming.
  
  With regards,
  Sriram
  
  Have u all seen these pictures...

  'Scouting for investors to complete my dream project'
  
  Sonali Krishna / Mumbai April 19, 2006
  
  Kamal Hassan
  If there is one actor who is truly turned on by versatility, it’s Kamal Hassan. He’s probably the only actor in Indian cinema who has experimented with the bare essence of film-making – be it Abhay, Appu Raja, Mumbai Express or the work-in-progress Marathunayagam. Over the last 25 years, Hassan has gone beyond the elementary level of acting, creating a niche for himself.
  
  He has traversed the length and breadth of the land, breaking linguistic barriers and leaving audiences astounded with his repertoire and his seemingly inexhaustible bag of tricks. With his more-than-fair share of lows, Hassan has alway managed to spring back with his undying enthusiasm and ambition of film-making. A lover of digital cinema, Hassan continues to strive to make a movie that is digitally sound and aesthetic. Business Standard catches up with the actor to understand what lies beneath the intelligent psyche.
  
  As one of the digital enthusiasts in the country, would you think that Bollywood is fast catching up with Hollywood in terms of digital technology in filmmaking?
  
  No. To elaborate would be to poke on the wound. We have to catch up in a lot of fields. And just getting our hands on the technological button will not do it. We must first have the responsibility to touch the button. It’s like a nuclear button, anyone can become a nuclear country.
  
  Technology is there and will continue to come. But the industry has to get geared in terms of vertical and horizontal integration. We have to formulate and have a good communion, which focusses on implementation. Otherwise we will be like Palestine in the world of entertainment.
  
  You have been one of the few actors to use digital technology in your films. Which is the next big project you are conceptualising?
  
  I am currently working on a script called Dashaavataram, and the name itself indicates what its all about; its about having 10 avatars. We’re trying to make a very interesting script and it not just being a vehicle for an over ambitious actor. We’re trying to make it look as simplistic as possible. I am playing 10 roles in the film. It is currently a Tamil film, but due to the size of the film, it may be made in Hindi as well. The budget is currently Rs 25 crore.
  
  What are you future plans as a filmmaker?
  
  I am basically an artist. I am trying to make myself business savvy and so it is a learning process. I am in talks with a series of Indian and international companies for larger productions. But I am not in a position to name them, though, as the talks are in their preliminary stages.
  
  What are the stark diferences between the Chennai film industry and Bollywood?
  
  It’s a classic case of the poor boy and the rich boy. We wash our clothes and dry them and hence we don’t change very often in a day. But when you are a rich boy and have a washing maching and an ironing mistress at home, you have the liberty to change innumerable times a day. That’s a habit the Chennai film industry can’t afford. You could call it a spartan way of life or being disciplined.
  
  But do you see the quality of movies improving both in Bollywood and down South?
  
  I see it improving more in Mumbai. That’s because Bollywood is quicker in understanding the niche market that is emerging. It is also because people in Chennai are not daring investors; they are careful investors. It’s an attitude and therefore you will not find a company that is more than Rs 5000 crore in the South.
  
  What is your final destination as an actor?
  
  I am a reluctant actor. I am essentially a technician. My dream project which is still on the anvil is Maruthanayakam. Everything went as smoothly as a dream and then I woke up to reality. The movie is a film in Tamil, English and French and a lot of western actors had signed up. I shot 30 minutes of it and needed Rs 38-40 crores to finish it. So, I am currently scouting for investors to complete my dream project.

  Will the present day Kamal fit into Marudhanayagam?
  
  Marudhanayagam – the name conjures up the regally attired Kamal twirling his moustache in a sculptured pose. And it remains frozen as it is. If there is one film that Kamal would like to see the light of day, it is about this warrior-prince. The film based on painstaking research by a dedicated team has been caught in a limbo. Several Tamil historians have lent their expertise in this project as they were convinced of Kamal’s artistic and cinematic credentials.
  
  Kamal’s repertoire is truly staggering. In a career spanning nearly four decades, he has performed roles of every genre. He has successfully reinvented himself so as to come up with thumping performances.
  
  
  His intuitive understanding of cinema and penchant for innovation urge him to plough back funds into bold and experimental films. Some clicked like Appu of Apoorva Sahodarargal, the thaatha in Indian or Shanmugi mami in Avvai Shanmugi while many bit the dust most notable being Hey Ram. Yet, he plods on with great hope.
  
  The making of Marudhanayagam is a different ball game altogether. Kamal’s grand inauguration of the shooting in the presence of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II in 1997 made headlines. Nothing much has happened thereafter.
  
  
  Apparently, Kamal has shelved the project for shortage of funds. It is quite difficult to buy this argument as Kamal commands great respect. It is perhaps his stubbornness to launch the film under his own Raajkamal banner with attendant conditions, which has put off prospective collaborators. In the recent past, there have also been some bitter episodes with producers like Thanu(Aalavandhan) and Kaja Moideen(Vettaiyadu villaiyadu). The negative fallout of those issues is probably the lack of interest shown by outside producers for Kamal’s dream film.
  
  
  However, he has been enthused by the recent foray of the Ambanis into film medium. Besides, he is also shuttling abroad often these days to curry up NRI funding. The story is set in a region with deep casteist divisions. Several threads of history are mixed up with legend. The political protests which could raise the heat and bring negative publicity is another deterrent.
  
  If money were the problem, Kamal would have no difficulty in the current scenario as Sanjay Leela Bansali’s Devdas was made at Rs. 50 crores and Aamir’s Mangal Pandey took Rs. 30 crores. Kamal’s budget for Marudhanayagam, which would mark his debut as director also, is slightly higher than Rs. 50 crores which would not be a big issue.
  
  
  
  But the nitty gritty would have to be ironed out before the film goes on the floors. There are some aspects of Kamal’s approach which need to be smoothened.
  
  For a man who has tasted vetrikkani, it is a pity that his magnum opus remains an ettaakkani. We just hope, that Kamal doesn’t feel that these grapes are sour!!

  yes he said, but still admk could have approached bcos, kamal disliked Muka as he didnt helped him to get out of MX crisis, created by muka's friend ramadoss
  
  also Jaya tv brought and promoted MX for good amount
  
  Jaya helped a bit in Virumaandi matter too. Kamal has a more than clean image and he has not become a joker in politics, till now. all these would have made admk to choose kamal
  
  but anyway kamal is always clear in his goals and strategies

  Rajini, Kamal and a 100 crores speculative political deal!! April 21, 2006
  
  
  All is fair in love and politics. DMK supremo M.Karunanidi has alleged that the ruling party is leaving no stone unturned to get political mileage. Having realized that Vaiko is struggling to garner votes for the party, they are now trying to rope in a popular film personality, to add vigor to their campaigns. It is reported that the ruling party has dangled a bait of Rs.100 crores as kickback. Considering the huge amount on offer, there was heavy speculations yesterday that the big fish could be Rajinikanth. However, in a fresh twist of events, Kamal is reported to be the prime target.
  
  Knowing fully well that Kamal’s magnum opus Marudhanayagam has hit troubled waters, the ruling party has used it to their advantage, and offered to clear all financial problems, so that shooting can be completed.
  
  Kamal has categorically stated that he has no intentions to join politics. In spite of his refusal, the party is still turning on the heat. It is reported Kamal has left for America, and plans to return only after the new government is formed.
  
  However, Kamal’s personal secretary has announced that nobody from any political party has contacted Kamal, and Kamal has left for the States only for shooting purposes

  Come on Guys.
  This is election season and the political parties and their leaders keeps on saying some baseless information.
  We cannot trust their sayings even in the normal time itself.
  That too in this election time, for diverting the people, they say whatever they feel. This news is one among them.
  
  I feel sad for the state of Journalism in our country. Political leaders are saying something for their benefits.
  These reporters who were suppose to be careful and responsible in providing news without any further analysis coming to
  an conclusion.
  The political leader said that the amount was given offered to a big star. Rajini is out of picture already.
  The other big star whose words can be taken into consideration is Kamal. Now Kamal is in need for money for his MN project.
  So journalists made a beautiful story that it is Kamalhasan and he ran to America to escape from this.
  My goodness. What can we say. Journalists are good in imagination than providing proper and trustful news.
  
  See, there is always of possiblity that any actor could have been approached by any parties for compaigning including Rajini
  and Kamal. But the 100 crores dont you guys feel it is too much.
  
  Going back to some time before. Medias and several Political parties projected that the money spent on Marriage of Sudhakaran was around
  several hundreds of crores. At that time i was doing some calcualtion on how much could be spent even doubling the expenses a
  very grand marriage. Even after making several weird assumption i could not even cross 20 crores at that time itself.
  But at that time, even one news said it was 500 crores.
  Dont take it in a manner that i am trying to support any particular party here, I am worried for the state of Politics and
  journalism handled in our country.
  
  However i am happy that Kamal got some +ve publicity because of this..

  comeon thiru,
  
  100Cr figure was mentioned by Mu Ka, not journalist, he is the same person who hinted Kanchi acharya's arrest.
  
  Muka clearly excluded Rajni from the list. Vijayakanth and Sarath dont fit in this categ logically. so its clearly kamal. again dinakaran, Muka owned daily is the one to say directly that its Kamal
  
  but i dont say that he flew to US bcos of this, its preplanned, as per sify

  Yes. Of course it was mentioned by Mu Ka.
  
  I did not get you. If Mu Ka says, then that has to be true
  This is election season and they say whatever they feel that can bring good to them and bad to other parties.
  Even they say something where these journalists go, what kind of ground work they do before coming to a conclusion. I dont get that..

  1. There are so many allegation they make everyday and do all of them gets a response. I dont think so. That does not prove anything. As i mentioned before there is always a possoblity that any actor could have been approched. Who knows even MK could have approached Kamal as Kamal has lots of respect for MK. But the 100 crore story is beyond the limits.
  2. If we analyse this particular allegation wont make much difference in election results. However when leaders make allegetions or promises they want that to make certain effect on people.
  
  I think we should leave this here. We may end up in diverting Kamals thread to some other discussions..

  sori, for continuing the topic, read again what Mu Ka Said, "100 kodi varai beram pesa pattathu" maybe that guy would have got tired convincing kamal, so chumma he could have mentioned that figure, considering the hi budget maruthanaayagam.....again u see it doesn't mean that kamal will be prepaid (!!!) if he agrees for the deal. bcos , even in that case they would say, we will pay u in installments(!!!), and once we acquire power(!!!!!!) we will settle the full amount. and again its just a statement. and it again doesn't mean that they will pay the full amount promptly. read the article that some actress still have due payment for their service!!!
  
  also during the discussion( )there could have been a 'ganja karuppu' along with that thillai natarajan[the guy who reportedly spoke with kamal on this issue] that ganja could have said"enna anne 60 70 nnu izhuththuttu, roundaa 100 nnu pesi mudinganne, annan ualaga naayagannla"

  Yes. u r right. Anyone can approach any one with these things. That only i have already told also. But where is the concrete proof for these things. The same kind of allegation anyone can make. Without any concrete proof how we can believe. Regarding the rest of things i dont agree. I have totally different opinions on the rest. Fake promises are not only given by JJ. However JJ atleast took some bold steps(several may not agree) in the beginning. Due to the failure in Lok sabha, she was forced to revert back all the good steps taken.
  However Let us not talk politics here.

  Thiru ,
  100 crores is not a small amount , but the thing is that they wouldn't be just giving away Kamal 100 crores simply ... The deal must have been somthing like "Return it from the sale price or earnings of MN !" ...(of course not the whole amount, a sensible amount...perhaps). That is to say , they would have wanted to act as the virtual producers , so Kamal will be forced(or obliged a better term .... as Kamal is well known for his ) to return them from MN's earnings (atleast proportionately) .... Remember a proper release of MN means, a release in French, English as well, i.e in some parts of Europe, ...... So that is not a huge deal , for a political party , tht too like ADMK ....

  OK Guys.
  You all can continue with this 100 crore truth information. I am not interested in making this thread a discussion for politics. I would like this thread to be a open, truth, bold, intellegent, informative like our star Kamalhasan instead of rumours. I have my own way of analysing things instead of just believing the information given by media or any other for that matter.
  
  
  Finally one opinion of mine. As far as, in TN the only magazine i believe, gives information amlost true, intellegent and does after analysing properly is Tughlaq. However that is my personal opinion. Since this particular rumour(according to me) is a serious one, they will definetly keep this in their next issue(Probably wednesday in chennai) if it is true. I dont get that magazine here. If anyone could read that let me also know if there is any news regarding this, it would be great. A small request.
  I dont have much trust in any other magazine as they they all are biased towards certain people and they do journalism as a business instead of taking our country in a right path.
  
  This is my opinion. I am sorry if i hurts some one here.

  Will the present day Kamal fit into Marudhanayagam?
  Behindwoods.com
  
  Marudhanayagam – the name conjures up the regally attired Kamal twirling his moustache in a sculptured pose. And it remains frozen as it is. If there is one film that Kamal would like to see the light of day, it is about this warrior-prince. The film based on painstaking research by a dedicated team has been caught in a limbo. Several Tamil historians have lent their expertise in this project as they were convinced of Kamal’s artistic and cinematic credentials.
  
  Kamal’s repertoire is truly staggering. In a career spanning nearly four decades, he has performed roles of every genre. He has successfully reinvented himself so as to come up with thumping performances.
  
  His intuitive understanding of cinema and penchant for innovation urge him to plough back funds into bold and experimental films. Some clicked like Appu of Apoorva Sahodarargal, the thaatha in Indian or Shanmugi mami in Avvai Shanmugi while many bit the dust most notable being Hey Ram. Yet, he plods on with great hope.
  
  The making of Marudhanayagam is a different ball game altogether. Kamal’s grand inauguration of the shooting in the presence of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II in 1997 made headlines. Nothing much has happened thereafter.
  
  Apparently, Kamal has shelved the project for shortage of funds. It is quite difficult to buy this argument as Kamal commands great respect. It is perhaps his stubbornness to launch the film under his own Raajkamal banner with attendant conditions, which has put off prospective collaborators. In the recent past, there have also been some bitter episodes with producers like Thanu(Aalavandhan) and Kaja Moideen(Vettaiyadu villaiyadu). The negative fallout of those issues is probably the lack of interest shown by outside producers for Kamal’s dream film.
  
  However, he has been enthused by the recent foray of the Ambanis into film medium. Besides, he is also shuttling abroad often these days to curry up NRI funding. The story is set in a region with deep casteist divisions. Several threads of history are mixed up with legend. The political protests which could raise the heat and bring negative publicity is another deterrent.
  
  If money were the problem, Kamal would have no difficulty in the current scenario as Sanjay Leela Bansali’s Devdas was made at Rs. 50 crores and Aamir’s Mangal Pandey took Rs. 30 crores. Kamal’s budget for Marudhanayagam, which would mark his debut as director also, is slightly higher than Rs. 50 crores which would not be a big issue.
  
  But the nitty gritty would have to be ironed out before the film goes on the floors. There are some aspects of Kamal’s approach which need to be smoothened.
  
  For a man who has tasted vetrikkani, it is a pity that his magnum opus remains an ettaakkani. We just hope, that Kamal doesn’t feel that these grapes are sour!!

  Kamal Hassan :
  
  This versatile genius is the next highest paid artiste though the money he gets can never match up to the superstar's. Unlike Rajini or Vijay, Kamal doesn't get paid on the spot. His movies take time to do business. Business wise Rajini's movies may be a safe bet but they don't raise expectations as Kamal's movies do. This maverick's movies fall into two categories—hits or flops, never the mediocre ones. If Virumaandi was a big hit, Mumbai Express was a flop. The money that Kamal is paid is not for the business they make but for the talent, maturity and savvy he brings. For his next venture Dasavataram the actor seems to get 6 crores as salary.

  Kamal Hassan: back to his old tricks? April 24, 2006
  
  
  
  According to Kodambakkam reports, Kamal Hassan is gearing up for a yet another new look for one of the ten roles he plays in Dasavataaram. Director K S Ravikumar and Kamal left for the US recently to meet up with make up artistes and scout for locations for the film. Kamal is likely to bring in his fave make up artiste Michael Westmore, the man who worked with Kamal in Indian and Avvai Shanmukhi, back into Dasavataaram. A mega –budget film by Oscar Ravichandaran, Dasavataaram is creating a lot of expectations of both Kamal Hassan and Ravi Kumar. If reports are true, Ravikumar is bringing in five music directors to score the music for the film.

  Even in case, if someone approached Kamal, i believe he would have never discussed that with anybody. That too a person in politics. He would be knowing, doing that will leak the news to media, which is unnecessary trouble for him. He was already into some unwanted problems.

  I already said in previous posts that, there is always a possiblity that any actor(not only Kamal) could have been approached not only by JJ, even by MK for compaigning for them. But however this 100 crore thing is a rumour for sure. That too, this is election time. Even in case if they have been approched, the concerned parties did not reply so far. We can take this in two manner
  
  1. There could be a possiblity.
  2. They are not interested in answering the rumours as there are lots of rumours coming each and everyday.
  
  I will go with the second option in any time. If any rumour is not answered by the concerned parties i wont believe. In this case the concerned parties are JJ side and Kamal side. Atleast from Kamal side they denied this news.
  
  Coming to Rajini, even in the past you can see, i would not have participated anything against Rajini if it was not a concrete information. Probably i could have answered to the posts of some as they would have bad mouthed Kamal, in the same manner i could have badmouthed Rajini as a reply to them, but not as my real opinion.

  JJ didnt but Thirumaavalavan replied to the 100 Cr Rumour. He said that "Muka karadi vidugiraar........100 Kodi kodukkum alavukku Kamal enna Periya Aalaa??"
  
  See that, he is worried if kamal deserves 100 Cr and not abt their[Alliance's] integrity on bribing to actors for vote gain. This shows their[allaice's] quality.
  
  again, 100 cr is nota big amnt,and again i strongly insists that Burudaa starts at the root level itself

  Thirumavalavan is an alliance of ADMK, the way he interpreted the rumour is that. Now consider the same thing had been said by JJ against MK, Ramodass would have interpreted the thing more or less in the same manner like Thirumavalavan. That is it.

  Five for ten
  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, April 25, 2006]
  
  
  
  Kamal Hassan, who is known for executing innovative ideas on screen, is planning a similar thing for his next Dasavatharam.
  
  The movie being directed by K S Ravi Kumar with dialogues by Crazy Mohan is expected to begin soon.
  
  The actor had left for the USA recently along with Ravikumar to finalize the script.
  
  Featuring him in 10 different roles, Kamal Hassan has mooted the idea of trying out five music-composers for the film. It seems to have won the favor of producer Oscar Ravichandran.
  
  It would now mean that five top music-directors would compose music in Dasavatharam

  Quote:

  Symbolisms used in ths film... 1.After his marriage to Vasundara Das, Kamal again grows his beard and has a room of his own when he is tinkering with his gun and bullets late into the night. To show that he has been working really late, a clock is not shown, but people singing 'Tiruppaavai', a traditional sloka recited in the early mornings of the tamil month maargazhi (Dec-Jan), is heard in the background. Hearing that Kamal realises its really late and gets up and leaves the room. 2.Ram is forcibly made to drink "soma bhaanam" and he is taken to the raja's meeting after that (and probably a few more) drink. During that intoxicated walk, one can see black and white squares alternating on the floor. This to me suggested "a sacrificial pawn" move. Meaning, kamal was the sacrificial pawn and the whole game of choosing the people from the lottery was "fixed". Abhayankar and the raja knew that Ram's name was going to picked out second to abhayankar's name. And if he wasn't intoxicated, he probably wouldn't have said "so what if I am married" when somebody asks "But, he's married". The whole scene was beautifully orchetsrated. 3.After making love to vasundhara, he plays a rather disjointed piece on the keyboard. Rewind to the scene with Rani mukherjee. They play the keyboard together after making love. He plays one portion with his right hand, and rani plays her left. The two pieces combine to make good music. After this scene with vasundhara, he onle plays his part of the piece. Rani's part is left unplayed. Symbolic and Touching ! 4.after the horse polo accident, the maharaja comes to the injured horse and calls it an old useless "kathiyawadi ghoda" before he shoots it - an obvious reference to Gandhi who was Kathiyawadi. another obvious, yet interesting symbolism - all the other horses in the shed are blinded by scarfs before the injured horse is shot dead. 5.the elephant chained to pillar (saket ram, the free spirit, being chained to marriage and family life) (Or can b this) Even the strongest land animal is chained and has no powers,What can a normal man do ?? (Or) In Calcutta we see an elephant which is very violent and when he comes to Srirangam he sees the chained elephant This elephant actually symbolizes Saketh Ram himself who is very violent in Calcutta and who is calm in Srirangam 6.the allusions to swastika and its manifestations (even nazi) 7.the amusing pun in gandhi's line "don't shoot me from behind" to the photographer 8.when sharukh is abt to die ..and kamal tries to protect him..he says " even peru BHARAT"..Y bharat??? coz RAM( LORD RAMs trusted brother is BHARAT ) 9.He symbolizes vasundra as a gun......to picturize the fact that he has been made to accept violence as passionately as sex! 10.when kamal meets abhyankar for the second time they get into a kinda train or tramp for a moment...kamal sees through the window a dog sitting inside a dead cow's stomach and eating it from the indside..what an illusion of poverty and voilence.

  wonderful....he left out one symbolism(from the list of symbolism below)
  
  kamal actually tried to symbolically show that the riot has taken place so recently!
  
  he would have shown an elepahnt which holds the angusam in the hand of the dead "yaanaipaagan"...
  
  actually kamal tried to make an impact of an english movie which showed the similar situation with symbolism...where a dog will carry a hand in its mouth...the hand will be shaking(kai thudithu kondu irukkum)..to show that the riot has just finished!
  
  kamal himself said it!

  Actually, I thought the scene was meant to convey that violence, and more precisely, Saket Ram's impending 'duty' are still at the center of his thoughts, though he is physically with Vasundra Dass. Maybe the symbolism I attach to the scene is too simplistic!!

  Good post. Kamal is a visionary. He sees the future ahead (thats a problem from commercial perspective, but its good from artistics perspective). He is inspiration for many talents in indian movie industry. I am sure someone will take Aalavanthaan in 2015 and release it again and it will be a big hit.

  Aalavanthan was actually taken up and released in 1981 by his parents But ofcourse, as Kamal says, he is 20 yrs behind. So the movie should have technically released the year I was born. I am surprised that the Jaya TV quoted the movie as Hum Tum and not Aalavanthan. Jaya TV kku oru

  Kamal as a priest!
  - 03.05.2006
  
  Kamal is assuming the role of a priest. Kamal is known to assume 10 roles in ‘Dasavataram’… Is the priest’s role one of them? No. This is different.
  
  Director Rajeev Nath is producing a film on the life of Mother Theresa. All important incidents and prominent people that happened to Mother Theresa will be featured in the film.
  
  Kamal is doing this film for the sake of friendship. Besides Kamal, prominent stars like Mithun Chakrabarthy and Mohanlal are also acting in this film. Kamal is doing the role of a priest in the film. Mohanlal is appearing as a military officer. Mithun Chakrabarthy is appearing as Jyoti Basu who was the Chief Minister of West Bengal from where Mother Theresa started her charity activity.
  
  Rajeev Nath is producing this film with the intention of conveying Mother Theresa’s human kindness to the growing generation. This film will be released in English and other global languages apart from Indian languages.
  
  Cinematographer and director Santosh Sivan is doing cinematography for this film. Hitherto Mohanlal and Kamal have not done any film together. Now ‘Mother Theresa’ has fulfilled that space.

  Trisha unwillingly accepts Dasavatharam?
  May 05, 2006
  Trisha
  
  One advantage of playing ten characters in a movie is that one gets an opportunity to act with many beautiful females. And if the actor happens to be Kamal, nothing but the best would do. So, it was with this idea that the top heroines of the industry were offered the honour of being one of the several heroines in a Kamal-movie and one among many such approached was Trisha.
  
  Instead of jumping in joy for having got the chance of her life, the actress, now busy in Tollywood, seems to have shown little interest in being the partner of one of the ten Kamals. The uniit, keen to have her in the film, sent a message that ten days would do but she still wasn’t keen.
  Cold she might have been towards the project but she certainly did not want to send wrong signals to Kamal camp, by refusing to act with him, citing lack of dates as the reason. But the industry insiders say that the real reason for Trisha’s disinterest in ‘Dasavatharam’ has nothing to do with dates and has everything to with a co-star: Asin.
  
  For all outward appearances the two may profess friendship, but it is said that there is a subtle cold war between them ever since the ‘brand Asin’ stared hotting up and Trisha certainly did not want to be in a project where Asin might probably steal the thunder under her nose, remembering what happened to Nayantara in ‘Ghajini’.
  
  Trisha still feels cold towards the whole thing but she is also equally afraid that she would offend the big star himself if she says no. So, according to insiders, she ‘yes’ to the offer. It is not a hearty ‘yes’ but a reluctant ‘okay’ from Trisha.

  Kamal builds theater complex
  - 12.05.2006
  
  In Tamil cinema, the actor who earns the most next to Rajini is Kamal. But his assets are much lesser than those of the young actors. Everyone knows that is because this unique star personality spends what he earns from films on films! And his experiments always are hard on his purse.
  
  After Rajkamal Films and an audio company, Kamal is into another business. He has bought land to build a multiplex theatre complex with latest facilities, restaurants and games.
  
  Kamal is always eager to experiment with the latest developments in the film field. Abhirami Ramanathan of Abhirami theatres was in the forefront to use Dolby digital sound and sell tickets on the net. Many of the technical advancements, particularly Dolby sound were introduced on Kamal's recommendations.
  
  It is Kamal's dream to build modern theatres in Tamilnadu like those found abroad and this multiplex is the first step.
  
  Kamal will soon make his dreams come true!

  Madhan has been a very good critic all these years. He has analysed countless number of movies through Vikatan. I have also watched his THirai parvai in Vijay TV with keen interest. one of the rare intellectuals who KNOWS A LOT ABOUT KAMAL.
  
  Madhan knows about cinema in and out and well knowledeagble on the nuances of making a movie.
  I still remember the programme when he interviewed Kamal before the release of Hey Ram . They share nice relationship
  I enjoyed watching Anbay sivam but unfortunately the movie didnt do well in BO.
  
  Movies like pancha thanthiram , Vasool raja, Pammal etc are not the ones expected out of Kamal .( we only tend to equate with his own earlier movies like MMKR , Avvai etc and get disappointed )
  
  Today, the best guy to get the best out of kamal is MR ( KB is retired already )

  As an established critic, Madhan's strengths can be used in editing as to how one can structure a movie sequentially.
  here is one guy who runs through the entire length and breadth of a movie threadbare and comes out with his assessment on even a small frame which we would not have thought about !
  
  When he analyses a movie, he goes in depth and even suggests alternatives on if you had done this scene like this, it would have come out better .
  If the storyline would have been slightly finetuned, this would have been the impact etc
  
  He is another guy who knows the strengths and short comings of an artist and can even come out with suggestions on who can be Kamal's ideal support cast .
  
  IMHO, editing is not just cutting scenes but when and where and how to place scenes will make a good editor. as Madan had been a severe critic for so many years , he will be the most ideal guy to take up editing

  While going through some blogs, I got this link. Interesting one indeed. I am posting this here. If it had been already posted, forgive
  
  http://rasithathu.blogspot.com/2006/05/blog-post.html
  
  ரசித்த படம் ஹேராம்
  
  கமல் தன்னுடைய கனவுப் படம் என்று மருத நாயகம் பற்றி கூறிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார். அந்தப் படம் வெளியாகுமோ அல்லது வெளியாகாதோ தெரியாது ஆனால் கமல் என்ற கலைஞன் ஹேராம் என்ற படம் எடுத்ததின் மூலம் தமிழக திரையுலகில் சாகாவரம் பெற்று விட்டான் என்று என்னால் உறுதியாக கூற முடியும்.
  
  புதிய பறவை என்று சிவாஜி நடித்த திரைப்படம் பற்றி கூறும் சமயம் "இது போன்ற படங்களை ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளும் மனோபாவங்கள் மக்களிடம் இல்லாத சமயத்தில் வெளிவந்து விட்ட திரைப்படம்" என்று கூறுவார்கள்.
  
  ஹேராம் படத்தில் இருந்த முத்தக் காட்சிகளும் அது போல அமைந்தது வருத்ததிற்குரியது. தமிழன் அது போன்ற காட்சிகளை ஜீரணம் செய்து கொள்ள முடியாததாலேயே இந்தப் படம் அது பெற்றிருக்க வேண்டிய வெற்றியைப் பெறவில்லை என்பது என் கருத்து.
  
  ஆங்கிலத்தில் கூறுவார்கள் " நிஜ உலகில் கதா நாயர்கள் பிரம்மிக்கத்தக்க காரியங்களை தொடர்ந்து செய்வதில்லை" அதாவது நிஜ உலகில் சூப்பர் மேன் கதா நாயகனாக இருப்பதில்லை. " நிஜ வாழ்வில் ஒரு சாதாரண மனிதன் ஒரு சாதாரணமான சமயத்தில் பிரம்மிக்கத்தக்க காரியம் செய்யும் சமயம் கதா நாயகனாகிறான்".
  
  அதாவது நிஜ வாழ்வில் கதா நாயகன் உதாரண புருஷர்களாக இருக்க மாட்டார்கள். அவர்களும் சாதாரண மனிதர்கள்தாம்.
  
  காந்திஜீயும் ஒரு சாதாரண மனிதரே, அவரிடம் ஒரு சாதாரண மனிதரிடம் உள்ள குறைகள் அனைத்துமே இருந்தது, ஆனால் அந்தக் குறைகளையும் தாண்டி அவர் நிஜ வாழ்வில் ஒரு கதா நாயகர் அதற்கு மேலும் ஒரு வார்த்தை உண்டெனில் அதற்கும் உரித்தானவர்.
  
  இந்தக் கதையின் நாயகன் சாகேத் ராமும் தன்னுடைய காதல் மனைவி கற்பழித்து கொடூரமாக கொலை செய்யப் பட்டவுடன் துப்பாக்கி தூக்கிக் கொண்டு கண்டவரை எல்லாம் சூடும் ஒரு சராசரி மனிதன்தான். அவன் மேலும் எவ்வளவு சராசரி என்பதை கதை மேலும் நமக்கு காட்டுகிறது. தன் மனைவி காதலித்தாலும், ஒரு அழகான அப்பாவி பெண் கண்டு திருமணம் செய்யதாகட்டும், தன் மனைவியின் மரணத்திற்கு காந்திதான் காரணம் என்று கூறுவதை நம்புவதாகட்டும் சாகேத் ராம் ஒரு சராசரி மனிதன்தான் என்பதை திரும்ப திரும்ப நாம் உணர்கிறோம்.
  
  ஆனால் திரைப்படம் ஒரு சாரசரி மனிதனின் பயணம் பற்றி இருக்க முடியாதே அதனால் எப்படி சாகேத் ராம் கதா நாயகன் ஆகிறான்? சூழ் நிலைகள் அவன் தன்னுடைய நிலை விட்டு விலகி அன்றிருந்த சூழ் நிலைகளின் சாட்சியாக்கி விடுகிறது. அவனுடைய நண்பனின் மரணம், அவன் எதிரிகள் என்று நினைக்கும் மனிதர்களின் நிலையை காட்டுகிறது. அதனால் அன்றிருந்த ஒட்டு மொத்த சூழ் நிலைகளின் சாட்சியாகி இந்தக் கதையின் நாயகனாகிறான். மத சூழ் நிலையின் ஒட்டு மொத்த சாட்சியாக இருக்கும் சாகேத் ராமின் மரணமும் மதக் கலவரங்களில் இடையே நிகழ்கிறது.
  
  ஒரு சில படத்தில் மட்டுமே அனைவரும் சிறப்பாக நடித்திருப்பார்கள். இந்தப் படம் அந்த ஒரு சில படங்களில் ஒன்று. கமலின் நடிப்பு பற்றி நான் சொல்லி தெரிய எதுமில்லை, ஷாருக்கின் பாத்திரம் சிறியதாக இருந்தாலும் நிறைவாக செய்திருக்கிறார், அப்பாவி பெண்ணாக வசுந்திரா கச்சிதம்.
  
  ஆனால் இந்தப் படத்தில் கமலையே தூக்கிச் சாப்பிட்டிருப்பவர் அதுல் குல்கர்னி அருமையான நடிப்பு.
  
  இசை ஞானி இளையராஜா ஒரு அற்புதம் என்பதை பிண்ணணி இசையும் பாடல்களும் பறைசாற்றும்.
  
  காந்தி தேசப்பிரிவின் சமயம் எடுத்திருந்த நிலைப் பாட்டின் காரணமாகவே கொலை செய்யப்பட்டார் என்பதையும் அந்த நிலைப்பாடு ஏன்? அதனை ஏன் பலர் புரிந்து கொள்ளவில்லை? ஏன் அவர்கள் பார்வையில் காந்தி ஒரு வில்லனாகத் தெரிந்தார்? என்பதைப் பற்றியெல்லாம் படமெடுத்திருக்கிறான் ஒரு தமிழ் கலைஞன் என்பதில் நானும் தமிழன் என்ற முறையில் பெருமை கொள்கிறேன்.
  
  காந்தியின் நிலைப்பாட்டைப் பற்றி என் கருத்துக்கள் அடுத்தப் பதிவில்.

  for trying the BEST and coming out with the classic without compromising himself for gaining cheap advantage that he can obtain from the success of a commercial film
  
  HeyRam,. Anbe Sivam etc are fine examples for this one.

  <dgn>
  
  This is for all.. ! Nakeeran, It is funny to see you ENTERING THE HUB AS A LALETTAN FAN(Without knowing anything abt him ) & suddenly converting yourself as an ajithfan.
  
  I don't have to prove my stand to you. IF u need, NILAVU's reply is enough.
  
  But Let me clarify the things to u. When I entered the hub, I had little time for hubbing. So, I restricted myself to Ajith & Vijay threads.
  
  ofcourse, I am CRAZY / MAD / FAN OF THALA AJITH
  
  But I ADMIRE KAMALHAASSAN FOR HIS QUALITIES, SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE ETC.
  
  Admiring someone is more than something. YOU admire someone whom u think as MORE SPECIAL BASED ON THE KIND OF THINGS HE HAD ACHIEVED.
  
  WHEN EVERYONE IS GOING IN THE COMMERCIAL WAY, HE IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO THINKS ABOUT CINEMA, INVESTS EVERYTHING IN CINAME, & MAKES IT AS HIS LIFE
  
  Fact is: I LOVE AJITH. I am a fan. I ADMIRE KAMAL SIR VERY MUCH. Also, My family is full of KH fans. My father still prefers movies like KURUTHI PUNAL, HEY RAAM, ANBE SIVAM etc. Plus.. My uncles are in VIRUDHUNAGAR Kamal NarPaNI Iyakkam (The works of which highlighted DailyThanthi Newspages & a hardcore fan base which exists right from mid 80's.)
  
  All KH fans here know about me and my stand well. I am not the one who switch the fan following from actor to actor to get cheap advantage.
  
  coz I am an ajith fan.
  
  Hope u got it !

  Quote:

  Namitha in “Hollywood”? By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 18 May , 2006, 11:38 Did you hear that Namitha, the glam queen of Kollywood is going to Hollywood? A newspaper reported that she has signed to do “a film titled Maya produced by Gregory Constante and directed by Eric Manning, who has a few suspense thrillers to his credit like Tales from Beyond and Inside Job”. Sify.com tried to unravel the “myth about a lot of Indian actors claiming that they are doing “Hollywood films”. First and foremost we would make it clear that we are investigating only about so called Hollywood movies and are in no way picking on Namitha who is undoubtedly the sex queen of Tamil cinema. Well, what is a Hollywood film? Hollywood is world’s largest film industry which operates out of Los Angeles in US. Some of the leading studios like Warner Bros, Universal, , Paramount, Sony Pictures, Fox, and some leading independent production houses like Miramax,, Lion Gates and others can be referred to as Hollywood production houses. Why do Indian actors and directors say that they are doing Hollywood films? When a Rajiv Anchal or Jagmohan Mundhra talks about doing Hollywood films actually, they are making a film with some NRI producer of Indian origin as a Hollywood producer. Even the great Aishwarya Rai has done so far only films produced by those of Indian origin. Ash’s latest film “Mistress of Spices” was also produced by a little known production company Balle Pictures, Capitol Films, Isle of man film etc. However the moving spirit behind the venture is Gurindar Chadha the London based producer, writer, and director of Indian origin. Namitha’s “Hollywood” film director is Eric Manning who is said to have done a suspense thriller The Inside Job. According to IMDB.com, the world’s biggest movie database: “The Inside Job is a 12 minute duration short film made with a Canon XL-2 camera on a budget of $10,000(Approx: Rs 4.5 Lakhs) and did not have a theatrical release!” The producer of the film Gregory Castante is listed in IMDB as “the producer of a video film Perfumed Garden-Tales of Kamasutra”, which was directed by our own soft-porn king Jagmohan Mundhra! So it is crystal clear that Namitha is not doing a Hollywood film but Maya, a film in English made by a few NRI’s under the banner of “Global One Studios” which has Ashok Kumar (the Chennai based ace cameraman) as cinematographer, story written by noted Tamil film historian Randor Guy alias Rangadurai and directed by Eric Manning.

  
  
  In South, we have seen Actors getting more attention when they say thay are working on a Kamal Film, than a Hollywood film.

  Ravikumar impressed with KamalIndiaGlitz [Monday, May 22, 2006]
  
  
  Director K S Ravikumar and Kamal Haasan no doubt share an excellent report. The duo teamed up to do movies like Avvai Shanmugi, Thenali and Panchatantiram and all went on to make it big at the box office. Now the two are coming together for Dasavatharam with their favourite Crazy Mohan penning the dialogues. The highlight is Kamal Haasan appears in 10 different make-ups in the movie.
  
  Interestingly Kamal Haasan had been to USA recently and tried 10 different make-ups and a photo shoot was also taken.
  
  When director Ravikumar saw the photograph, he was so impressed with the hard work and dedication of Kamal Haasan that he called him up and congratulated him.
  
  Being produced by Oscar Films, Dasavatharam is all set to hit the floors very soon.

  It is good to see VIKRAM's Anniyan making inroads into the HINDI market and thereby earning a name for him there.
  
  But people are comparing him to KAMAL & Legend Sanjeev Kumar.. I don't want to say that it is not correct (since opinion & views differ from person to person)
  
  But Projecting vikram as next kamal is not good for vikram himself as well as for SAnjeev kumar.
  
  IMO, No one in TAMIL FILM WORLD can fill MGR spot (I mean the kind of popularity he had)
  
  The same goes to NADIGAR THILAGAM SHIVAJI GANESAN.. No one can fill his slot
  
  The samething APPLIES to NAMMAVAR too. KAMAL WILL BE THERE AND HIS THRONE WILL STILL REMAIN THERE.
  
  But good to see VIKRAM achieving something in HINDI. Let's see how his BEEMA does there.

  AF
  
  I accept Vikram is a good actor. Even lot of new comers are performing well like him nowadays. E.g Bharath in Pattiyal and Kadhal.
  
  Increasing /Decreasing weight alone make one as great actor.
  
  In this generation Ajith & Surya would fit for both class and Mass. IMO They can do better than Vikram ,
  
  But media says he is the only good actor after Kamal. But still he didnt prove anything in Comedy and didnt give hits without big directors.
  
  
  And this person (vikram), Where ever he goes he praises that regions lead actor/ director
  
  After the success of Anniyan , he said this is the first film which ran successfully in all the four southern states.

  IMO, Vikram is a good actor ,even better than Vijay ,Ajith and Surya ..But he is no where near to kamal not only in acting ,but also in intelligence and multi talent .
  
  I feel ,nowadays this is a fashion among young actors ..they used to praise Rajini like anything .This is just for commercial reasons ,they beleive they can get Rajini fan's support by making an impression as if He is one among them ,a rajini fan.
  
  Personally I know a top star who was really a kamal veriyan ,but as per his family and others advice he used to show as if he was a rajini fan till his childwood .
  
  Like wise I have seen Vikram's interview during the begining of his succesful carrier ,he used to mention he was crazy fan of kamal and kamal is his inspiration blah blah..But later on he started to talk like he is a rajini fan ..This is just for commercial reasons .I pity these kind of people ..they can't even speak their mind.

  Is good acting the ability to do the most uncommonest things in the most uncommonest eccentric way
  Is bad acting the portrayal of a normal character in the most realistic way

  <digression>
  Joe,
  I think you cannot generalise everyone on this issue. I don't know about others. But as far as ajith is concerned, he did mention a few things on ACTING in a more realistic way. Also, He never ever said that he is a fan of kamal or rajini or whatsoever. He is straight in his approach. What he said is : - He has the same respect and liking towards both these legends. He never exaggerate anything on this.. be it the mass of RK or CLASS of KH. I think it is better to be away than to be in the inner circle. I think compared to vikram & other actors, I think Ajith differs in this case. Please correct me if I am wrong

  kamal's tamil story in vikatan.......below is a good translation of that by blogger chenthil
  
  http://chenthil.blogspot.com/2006/05/day-i-lost-my-chastity.html
  
  The day I lost my Chastity
  Category : Fiction, Translation
  Original : Kamalhassan's short story in this week's Ananda Vikatan (paysite)
  Need to know : That the narrator is Agni, the Lord of Fire
  
  
  The day I lost my Chastity
  
  It was the day Rama decided to test her chastity. Ravana had been long dead in the war over her. He too had an unrequited love for Sita, like me.
  
  In Asokavana, the maid used to bring me alive everyday night by feeding me oil and dry twigs, to keep them warm. All the guards would fall asleep in my warmth. Sita alone would be awake. Me too.
  
  Sometimes after all of them fell asleep, Sita would stare at me intensely. I would get all excited and flutter wildly in my shyness. On day break, the breeze would cool down my lustful ardor to burnt embers.
  
  I was jealous of Ravana for having kidnapped her. I once hung on to the tail of Rama's messenger and tried to burn Ravana and Lanka to oblivion. All I could do was to just burn down a few wax palaces.
  
  I was the witness of Sita's chastity. On those night Ravana came to plead his love for her, I was always present. I glowed with anger when Rama's messenger brought Rama's ring and message. It was of no use, she saw the ring even more clearly, in my brightness.
  
  Sita refused to talk to Ravana. To me too. She was true to her love of Rama. Never did she utter a word to me.
  
  It was on the day when Rama decided to make a public spectacle of testing her chastity did she first speak to me.
  
  "I , who never thought of anyone other than Rama, am heart broken today. Oh Agni, for days together you passionately looked at me with love. Let this chastity that I saved for my husband be yours Consume me" she said with fury.
  
  Love is a peculiar disease. Like the love between a lizard and the rock it lives on, our love was unknown to anybody else. I used to lust for her passionately. But on the day of reckoning, my love for her dominated my lust. I knew that our union would be counter productive like my first love.
  
  My first love was with the forest, the jungle queen. Then I was too young. My dad was very angry when I proclaimed my love for the forest. He threw me out. I went in search of my lover passionately. I embraced her with all the lust of my youthful fantasies. She was burnt to cinder, and so ended my love. I knew that the same would be the case with Sita too.
  
  More than consummating our affair, it was my duty to save her, said my love for her. Sita came into my embrace more with frustration and anger at Rama, not with love for me. For her I was just a shoulder to cry upon. What she felt for me was just sympathy, not love. She was giving it away as one would give alms to a beggar.
  
  "Why do you refuse to accept me, when I am willing" she enquired of me.
  
  "My dear Sita, if love would increase on consummating, Rama's love for you should have increased manifold by now. Love has the strange habit of decreasing after being together.
  
  If I get drenched in your love for me, I would die down to ashes, without use to anyone. You would either have to go back to Ayodhya or your parents' place. I don't think I would be able to embrace you finally, like I do others.
  
  We two are of a kind. We are beyond rules. For your chastity to remain untarnished, and for my love to remain undiminished, we should not consummate our love.
  
  I will let you pass through me, to your selfish Rama. As a result of this consummation that was not, I will bear a daughter in your form and name her Draupadi. Is that acceptable to you?" I asked her tenderly.
  
  Her eyes shined with tears on hearing this. "Never have I felt a love like this, nor have I seen a man like you. It won't happen in the future too. After I walk out of your embrace, I would live on our memories alone. My chastity will go rotten in a country ruled by people like Rama. I will leave that with you, as my marriage gift to our daughter Draupadi". With those words she walked out my embrace, never looking back.
  
  It was then I promised to myself, that I would make sure that Draupadi will not have to suffer husbands like Rama who questioned her chastity.

  If you want to know how to portray the life of an ordinary man in a REALISTIC WAY, Please see some MALAYAALAM movies.. of MOHANLAL & MAMOOTY.. There you will that
  
  IMO, Just have a look at some CLASS MOVIES OF KAMAL.. Be it HEYRAM, ANBE SIVAM,.. Do u think that they were all artificial character?
  
  Find the meaning there in SAAKETH RAM, etc

  Mr. joe ...has ever vikram tried his hand at comedy or a lover boy roles.......what has he done so far...has he ever tried an rowdy get up........how badly he flopped while tried to do an soft man role in Kadhal sadugudu.....

  surya boy he is a wonder....nice selection of roles.......kk pithamagan ghajini and aaru....
  sp please don ever say vikram is a better actor than ajith and surya.....he is an over hyped actor........

  Hi members, Good Morning !!! came to knew that Thalaivar's ten get up's have come extraordinarly. But I knew 5 confirmed get up's 1.Mother Teresa 2.George Bush 3.Mongolian (fighter) 4. Young Person 5. Villian get up (tonsured head). Story line : Its again a thriller / comedy film. Shooting is going to commence by June or July and first schedule will be at Chidambaram, Tanjore and Srirangam. Some temple related scenes are going to be canned. Thalaivar was suppose to return to Chennai today (25.05.06) but again he returned back to US from Cannes (after attending festival). He is coming back to Chennai on June 5th. K.S.Ravikumar reached Chennai alongwith 10 get up's of 10avatharam and producer Mr.Ravichandran itself shocked after seeing the getup's and could not recognise Thalaivar. He was so impressed and eager to start the film. Today morning I personally spoke to Mr.Narayanan, producer of VV and it was assured by him that film slated to release on 30th of June, he said he is literally waiting for Thalaivar's arrival since he has to finish some dubbing work. Rest all the problems were sorted out amicably. Once Khaja Mohideen's Perarasu released (June 9th) they agreed to give 2 to 3 weeks gap to release our film (VV). So pull up your socks and get ready to Vetayaadi Velayaadi. This is Ananth, Dubai, signing off .............

  anyone can edit the wikipedia profile, so it really dont matter. also when i just counted bluntly the no of owards in thalaiver's website, it came to 73. someone should have err-counted as 71 and mistyped 71 as 171 in wikipedia.
  
  why i say "bluntly" is i counted the best film awards too, which originally will go to the hands of the producer of the film, not to actor\director
  
  apart thalaiver would have got close to 40 awards, i have to count that once again at universalherokamal.com

  sakala,
  
  The following is the text covered under "AWARDS" category of Kamal's Profile..
  
  Kamal is a three-time winner of the National Film Award for Best Actor for the films Nayagan, Moondram Pirai, and Indian. He has also received the best actor award at the Asian Film festivals held in 1983 and 1985 for Saagara Sangamam and Swathi Muthyam respectively. Seven of his movies have been sent as India's official entry to the Oscars - this itself is a record of sorts as it is more than any other person. Kamal holds the record for the most Film Fare awards (numbering 18). Recently, Kamal Haasan was honoured when his self-directed venture titled Virumaandi won the International Award for Best Asian Film, selected by a European jury, at the eighth Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan) in South Korea for the Year 2004. In 2005, he was honoured when Time magazine listed Nayagan as one of the World Top 100 Movies of all time. On the whole kamalhassan has bagged 171 awards (national, as well as international), much more than any other actor in the world. He is one of the most versatile actors India has ever produced.
  
  However they did not list out the full list of Awards he bagged.
  What u say may be true too
  
  I have checked the website. It does not list the awards bagged from different Magazines except Filmfare and Cinema Express.
  
  There are several other magazines other than these also issues awards annually. In North magazines like stardust and others, and in TN Dinakaran and some others and in south there are some other popular magaxines also do the same.
  Definetly Kamal could have got some awrds from them too.
  So the information on wikipedia may be right too..

  Nice pic there.. The picture got blessed because of the presence of Nammavar.
  
  From other point of view, a great picture with three legends of Tamil Cinema.
  
  Cheers
