  1992 Diwali, Udhayam /Albert / Abhirami Theatres: Rajinikanth is humbled. After an unprecedented sucess run of 4 movies (Thalapthi, Mannan, Annamalai, Yejamaan) his Panidan flops BIG TIME. Kamalahaasan's classic Devar Magan wins not just a national award but was India's entry into the forign film category at the Oscars that year. Kamalahassan won the war that year hands down. Sivaji Ganesan who played a cameo in Devar Magan knew exactly what the war was about. He had, once upon a time, weilded the same sword that Kamal then weilded. Unfortunately due to fan clashes and market reasons the two iconic stars mutually decided never to release a movie on the same day! ever again.
  
  But not quite so!

  aNNAmalai was June I think. DM was a deepavali release - Oct/Nov

  
  
  Annamalai clach with singaravelan, that was for april 2002
  
  in same year diwali devar magan clash with pandiyan
  
  after DM, lot of similar jinks came out, 1s one is Thevar Veettu Ponnu, b Ramanaarayanan, yejamaan was from rajni's part which was nt a big hit i guess. someone mentioned mannan, annamalai yejamaan thalapathi 4 Duperhits after which paandiyan came and floped, its totally wrong, yejamaan came after Devar magan

  That article is just BS written by someone (Bharath/Hawkeye) with a reality disconnect..
  Samples: He thinks Pachaikkili Muthucharam 'fusion' is in the level of Ilaiyaraaja!!
  He reveals as an "inside info" the title of Selvaraghavan's next film - he made this post last month!

  Just a continuation
  
  Abborva sagodharargal was biggest hit before Annamalai. It was biggest from 1989 to 1992 may. Even the blockbusters like Captain Prabhakaran,Chinna Thambi couldn't beat it's collection.
  
  Annamalai was biggest for just 5 months. Devar Magan beat Annamalai collections. It was the biggest till Basha. Even Uzhaipali,Veera,Nattami and Gentle men couldn't beat the collection.
  
  Indian beat the collections of the Basha and became the biggest hit till padayappa. The movies like Suryavamsam,Kadallukku mariyadhai and Arunachalam couldn't beat its collection .
  
  Indradu chandradu was only the biggest hit in 1988.And that was his last direct super hit moive.

  Does it matter if baasha beat indian or indian beat baasha..what is more important is both movies had exemplary performances from both iconic stars and lived up to the name...seriously the way kamal portrayed indian thatta was so realistic and hard hitting that even small kids recognise indian thatta as some sort of brand name...that is even more notable than the box office collections

  Alas, here I disagree with you Hulk. Both are not, in my opinion, their best. Basha is reworking of the best bits from Annamalai. And in Indian, Kamal's make up is so thick that we can't see his expression. Thank god for his excellent body language and voice, we at least know what the poor old man was going through. I started my writing career trashing Indian (movie, not people), by the way.

  Grouch i meant exemplary..but not best...to me both rajini and kamal lived their characters which is why the characters are immortalised amongst cinegoers even today

  Phew! Alas, we agreed on something.
  
  Giving national award for a performance that was completely covered with thick makeup, so much so that there was barely any facial expression? It's insulting to other brilliant kamal's performance. Where was National award when Guna came out? Or MMKR, where he worked his behind off to make sure that all characters are different from one other? Where was the committee when he did Mahanadhi? Engey, engey, engey....
  
  Speaking of engey...would you trust a committee that never gave NT best actor award? I rest my case, your honour.

  1) Exactly
  2) One of the greatest travesties of justice in Indian Cinema.

  As if that wasn't insulting enough, they gave the award to MGR [Which was NT's competing film, if any to Rickshakaran?]

  SS,
  There were some great moments in the film but that doesn't make it a good movie. Of course Aandavar and Rahman made it look like a better movie than what it actually was...

  Without having to compare to NT, I'd say that again, it was insult to MGR's better performances earlier, say in Padagotti or Paasam, or Pettraal Taan Pillaiya. (But some of us may or may not know why, and we shall not talk about it, zzzzziiiiipppp).
  
  
  
  At any rate, we know how good Kamal is. We don't need not National Award to tell us. It's the body of work that is important, not the occasional award.
  
  History should tell us. Looking back, we see his contributions not only in the field of acting, but more, and there is more to come. National Award or no, Kamal will still be where he is now, and will go further.

  MGR did return the NA that was given to him. I agree with many points. But still, it is better to give the award to someone for any other movie than to ignore them (like Sivaji)

  There is one melody with Asin which is supposed to be very good, if unit persons have to be believed (this is first-hand info, but the problem is 'very good' is subjective).

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system
  

  Quote:

  Until 1993, the Avid Media Composer could only be used for editing commercials or other small content projects, because the Apple Macintosh computers could access only 50 gigabytes of storage at one time. In 1992, this limitation was overcome by a group of industry expert’s lead by a Digital Video R&D team at the Disney Channel. By February 1993, this team had integrated a long form system that gave the Avid Media Composer Apple Macintosh access to over 7 terabytes of digital video data.

  
  Mahanadhi was released in 1994, so definitely it was too early to use non-linear editing back then....

  he acts as a director and vjayakanth a camera man. but this is nt the typical vijayakanth film, he dies in the end, the story about radha's life and her husband's....she will finally chose to live alone...thus gos the story
  
  kamal didnt have any stong story presence, its kamal, thats all but he contributes some comedy.
  
  i think this movie was shot on a video camera, most scenes looked like a serial\s view than cinematic

  Selva,
  Actually there is a very interesting and sensitive version for the reason for (according to Chandrahaasan) Rahman not doing Dasa..and its not because of the so-called 'problems' between Aandavar and Rahman...
  It has something to do with Rahman, the Vaishnavite song(s) and some radical Islamist group...

  Thanks for the update Bala I also felt the same when that issue came up. As we did made a few posts on the same under TFM page !
  
  Anyway, I am tired of the current TFM stuffs. Expecting something pretty new ! I think HIMESH can bring that in.

  hmm.. Interesting indeed. Has he composed any classical songs in Hindi? or is this going to be his first attempt ?
  
  All I remember is : His heavy use of Arabic Instruments and violin.
  
  Outsourcing Yaarkitta.. Yes - Rahman would have been perfect. But again since he is out, they must have gone for the next one. Obviously Himesh does guarantee a lot.
  
  Why not IR? Nowadays, IR is scoring music for many non-tamil films. Is it purely coz of KSR?

  Same old story. Raajkamal-a irundha IR would have been the choice (though IR name doesnt sell in the North, infact South-liye Virumaandi/MX seriya pogala inspite of having great music).

  Seriously I am unable to imagine how Dasavatharam songs will be . Himesh is one kind of person who will use a word again and again for the whole track.. "Jununoon Junununoon...." "Jhoom...Jhoom"
  
  But his beats and rhythm will be foot tapping! Sodhappama irrundha seri!

  I loved HEYRAM MUSIC a lot out of those movies.
  
  Himesh - His appeal among the Young Generation is just amazing though they never forget praising Rahman. I think IF most of the songs have the usual pattern, then I am sure he can make sure nothing goes wrong except the classical one ofcourse.

  Kamal's pat for Karthi
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 14, 2007]
  
  
  
  Kamal Hassan watched a special screening of Karthi's Paruthi Veeran in Chennai on Sunday.
  
  Taking time off his busy schedule from Dasavatharam, the actor attended the special show of Paruthi Veeran.
  
  Impressed with the movie, Kamal Hassan poured encomiums on director Ameer.
  
  A seasoned campaigner in the film industry, Kamal Hassan appreciated Karthi for his excellent performance considering the fact that it is the young actor’s maiden film.
  
  It may be recalled that Chief Minister M Karunanidhi and Superstar Rajinikanth had earlier watched Paruthi Veeran and appreciated the cast and crew of the movie for their good work.

  Nothing of that sort.. It's just that Shankar is an inefficient director, ie, he takes too long to complete his films.

  Kamal - the man, his work
  
  On November 7, 1954, a boy was born at Paramakudi in Ramanathapuram district. Hardly anybody would have guessed that this handsome little boy would one day conquer the film industry and carve his own niche among big actors. He is Kamal Hassan - versatality his right hand, experimentation, his left. The great man is now 50 years old, and Chennaionline.com takes a look at his experiments and tries to analyse the genius in him.
  
  Acting and Kamal Hassan
  
  He becomes the character he plays. The transformation of the young rebel to an old man in the epic 'Nayakan', the woman's role portrayed to perfection in 'Avvai Shanmugi', the typical Tamil Nadu village rowdy in 'Virumaandi' - these are some outstanding examples of his prowess as an actor. He played almost the same character in three films - '16 Vayathinile', 'Swathi Muthyam' (Telugu) and 'Guna' - yet each time he was different, and interesting. Some other brilliant portrayals are 'Hey Ram' and 'Mahanadi'.
  
  His comedy
  
  That comedy is Kamal's forte is well known. Films like 'PKS', 'Panchathantiram' and the recent 'Vasool Raja MBBS' have been rib ticklers and laugh riots. His dialogue delivery in all these movies has been excellent (not to forget Crazy Mohan's famed wit.) His choice of words ('naa dubakuru' in 'Vasool Raja MBBS'), his innocent expessions (in 'Vasool Raja..' and 'Panchathantiram') - have been top-notch. Critics came down heavily on him for acting in such 'low standard' movies. They should remember one thing - 'It doesn't matter whether you are a George Bernard Shaw, your smile and wit should never leave you.'
  
  His concepts and ideas
  
  Quite contrary to his comedies, there has been a number of movies in which Kamal puts forth his ideas and proves the genius in him. Proving that Love is God in a fantastically-made 'Anbe Sivam', pleading against capital punishment in 'Virumaandi' are recent examples.
  
  'Kamal Hassan is an atheist' was the idea of the average film-watcher. He disproved it brilliantly in 'Anbe Sivam'- a personal favourite. Thus goes a song in the movie- 'Yaar Yaar Sivam? Nee Naan Sivam' which translates into 'Who is God? You and me'. Kamal's concept of God is clearly revealed in this movie, and his genius shines through this whole movie.
  
  Cinema is a medium through which one can express one's opinion and ideas - and Kamal Hassan has done that time and again.
  
  Historian Kamal
  
  "If you dont know history, you dont know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know that its part of a tree," said Michael Crichton, renowned author. Kamal seems to have taken this advice seriously - and the result was a magnificient 'Hey Ram'. Bringing together a host of good Hindi actors and actresses, Kamal extracted the best out of them, and 'Hey Ram' is easily one of his best efforts. Though it failed to go down well with the audience, it was a critically acclaimed movie.
  
  Kamal and get-ups
  
  He is a man known to put in a lot of effort in his appearance on screen. The bald schizophrenic in 'Aalavandan', with muscles that looked like tree trunks, was one character that required a Herculean effort - and that was done successfully by Kamal. He grew a moustache-cum-sideburns for 'Virumaandi'. A French beard for 'Panchathantiram'. A short haircut and rugged beard in 'Satya' and 'PKS'. All these were good efforts, but his best effort till date was his appearance in 'Aboorva Sagodargal'. How he managed to act as a dwarf in that movie remains a puzzle till date.
  
  Musician Kamal
  
  Who can forget his awesome chanting of 'Yaar Yaar Sivam..' in 'Anbe Sivam'? And the superb rendering of 'Stranded on the Streets..' in the movie 'Nala Dhamayanti'? An excellent singer with all the classical touches, he is helped a lot by a deep voice. Ilayaraja has been Kamal's all-time favourite. Kamal's eyes light up like a school kid when he hears Ilayaraja's name. Such is the admiration Kamal has for the musical maestro.
  
  The humility in Kamal
  
  "When the Guru summons, the sishya obeys" - This is what Kamal said when K Balachander asked him if he could do a guest role in the Maddy-starrer 'Parthale Paravasam'. Even now Kamal remains a student of K Balachander. Despite the fact that Kamal is a voracious reader and watches highy-intellectual movies of Kurosawa and Coppola, he has always been curious to learn new things and has had utmost respect for people in other streams.
  
  Kamal's concept of Love
  
  You would have certainly seen/heard this song from 'Vasool Raja MBBS'- "Alwarpetta..". The first and second para in this song reveal Kamal's idea of love. He sings - 'Kaadhal Unnum Kadavul Illaiyada, Intha Yezhavu Ellam Kamam Seyium Kalagam Thanada...". This, essentially, sums up Kamal's concept of love. Once, in an interview, he said, "I fail to understand what this four letter word called 'love' is all about. It's all about a three letter word...".This is the only ideology of Kamal that most fans, especially young ones like me, will not agree with.
  
  Awards and Kamal
  
  The actor in him shot to limelight when he was a kid. He bagged the Best Child Artiste award for his performance in 'Kalathur Kannamma', in which he acted when he was just 5 years old (remember the song 'Ammavum Neeye Appavum Neeye'?). Other sterling performances that brought him awards were 'Moondram Pirai', 'Pesum Padam', 'Nayakan' and 'Indian'. His recent 'Virumaandi' won international recognition and acclaim.
  
  It's a Kamal film
  
  Every film where Kamal acts is purely his movie, without doubt. He interferes with all the tasks involved; directing, screenplay, acting, music - which only shows that he is multi-faceted. His dream project, 'Marudunayagam', needs a lot of money and whether it will be made at all is a question which only Kamal can answer.
  
  He's had his share of controversies. Some people have described him as a 'woman maniac'. Despite all this, Kamal Hassan continues to entertain us and enlighten us in every film of his. That's the major asset of Kamal Hassan - he can entertain and enlighten the audience with his movies. We wish him a happy birthday and also wish him the best for his forthcoming projects.

  வலைப்பதிவில் (blog) இந்த பேட்டி குறித்து நண்பரொருவரின் கருத்துக்கள்
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  வற்றாயிருப்பு" சுந்தர் said...
  "இங்க பேசற மாதிரி கோவமா படத்துல சொல்லமுடியாது. சதைக்கும் தசைநார்களுக்கும் இடையே ஊசி ஏற்றுவது போலச் சொல்ல வேண்டும்" - கமல் உள்ளே கனன்று கொண்டிருக்கும் சமூகக் கோபம் அப்பட்டமாகத் தெரிகிறது அவரது விழிகள் மூலம். குறிப்பாக பாரதியாரைத் தெருவில் விட்டுவிட்ட அவலத்தை மறுபடியும் குறிப்பிடத் தவறவில்லை (இதற்கு முன்பு சென்னையில் நடந்த மாஸ்ட்ரோ இசைநிகழ்ச்சியில் பேசும் போதும் இதே விஷயத்தைக் குறிப்பிட்டார்).
  
  நான் அவரை நேசிப்பதற்கு வலுசேர்க்கும் கலைஞன் என்ற வரம்பை மீறிச் சமூகத்தைப் பார்க்கும் அவரது கோணங்கள்:
  
  'இறை மறைப்பு' என்ற விவாதமே தேவையற்ற ஒன்று - சக மனிதனை உணருவது பகுத்தறிவு.
  
  'தீவிர வெறித்தனமான ரசிகர்களை நான் ஆதரிப்பதில்லை. எதிலுமே தீவிரவாதம் தவிர்க்கப்பட வேண்டியதொன்று'
  
  'பத்து வருடம் கழித்து வந்திருக்க வேண்டிய படம் என்று சொல்கிறீர்கள். இதுவே மிகவும் தாமதம். பத்து வருடங்களுக்கு முன்பே எடுத்திருக்கவேண்டிய படம் ஹே ராம்'.
  
  'இளமை பழமையை திருத்தி மாற்ற வேண்டுமேயொழிய பழமையை முழுமையாக அழித்து ஒழிக்க முயற்சிக்கக் கூடாது'
  
  'கலைஞனுக்கு அவனது சிந்தனைகளே வாழ்க்கை என்னும்போது அவன் தனிமையாக இருக்கிறான் என்பதே கிடையாது. கலைஞனுக்குத் தனிமை கிடையாது' - எத்தனை உண்மை!
  
  'கருப்பு வெள்ளையாக, நேர்மை என்கின்ற வண்ணத்தை இழந்தவர்களாக 21-ஆம் நூற்றாண்டில் இருக்கிறோம்' - என்று ஹே ராமின் அந்தக் காட்சிக்கு என்ன மாதிரியான விளக்கம் அளித்தார்! எனக்கு நினைவுதெரிந்து தொலைக்காட்சி தொலைபேசி அழைப்புகளில் ஒரு ரசிகர் உருப்படியாக ஒரு கேள்வி கேட்டது இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில்தான்.
  
  'சிவாஜி செய்தது போல நானும் சில விதைகளைத் தூவிவிட்டுப் போகவேண்டும்' என்று அந்த அற்புதமான தேவர்மகன் காட்சியைப் பற்றிச் சொன்னபோது மெய்சிலிர்த்தது.
  
  ஆரம்பத்தில் ஒழுங்காகப் பேசிய அந்த அம்மணி தெனாலியைப் பற்றியும் டாக்டர் பஞ்ச பூதத்தைப் பற்றியும் கமல் குறிப்பிட்ட போதும் சற்றும் குறிப்பறியாமல் நான்கைந்து தடவை 'கமள் ஹாசன்' என்று அழுத்தமாக உச்சரித்தபோது எனக்குப் பல்லெல்லாம் கூசியது.
  
  நாங்கள் சினிமாக்களை ஒரு வருடம் நிறுத்திவிட்டால் ஒன்றும் குடி முழுகிப் போகாது. எங்களுடைய தொழில் மக்களுக்கான அத்தியாவசிய சேவை இல்லை - என்று உரக்கச் சொல்ல நேர்மை வேண்டும். கமலுக்கு அது நிறையவே இருக்கிறது என்பதை மறுபடியும் உரக்கச் சொல்லி நிரூபித்தார்.
  
  நாயகன் படத்தைப் பற்றிச் சொன்னதும் குறிப்பிடவேண்டியதொன்று. மணிரத்னமும் கமலும் மறுபடியும் இணையவேண்டும் என்ற எனது இருபது வருட அவா என்றாவது நனவாகிறதா என்று பார்ப்போம்.
  
  சுவாரஸ்யமாகப் பேசினார் கமல். அவரது கடின பேச்சு நடையைக் கிண்டலடிக்கும் நபர்களும் கமல் அளவிற்கு வேறு யாராவது சமூகப் பிரக்ஞையுடன் விஷயங்களை அணுகுகிறார்களா என்று சொன்னால் நலம். வெறுமனே புகழையும் பணத்தையும் சம்பாதித்துவிட்டுப் போகாமல் தன்னால் இயன்ற அளவு தனது ரசிகர் படையை நற்பணிகளுக்குத் திசைதிருப்பி உடல்தானம் போன்று மற்றவர்கள் நினைக்க மறுக்கும் விஷயங்களில் கூட தானே முன்மாதிரியாக இருந்து - தலைவனுக்குரிய எடுத்துக்காட்டாய் விளங்கும் 'நம்மவர்' கமலை எவ்வளவு பாராட்டினாலும் தகும். வாழும் வரலாறு விருது அவருக்கு நிச்சயம் பொருத்தமானது.
  
  எனக்கிருக்கும் மிகப்பெரிய ஆதங்கமே, இவ்வளவு விஷயஞானமும் அக்கறையும் உள்ள இவர் ஏன் அரசியலை விட்டு ஒதுங்கி இருக்கிறார் என்பதுதான்

  It is best kamal stays away from politics. If he enters it, he is doomed & the reasons are many.
  
  Also, there is justification in people decrying his manner of talking. He can put forth his ideas in simple, talking tamil rather than trying to get grammatical. Also, since his voice is rather hoarse & he gives long pauses, it is sometimes difficult to follow.
  
  Also, it is better he avoids putting forth his videws on God & religion since it tends to ruffle many peoples feathers. Belief in God & religion is a private pursuit & best intended that way.

  FICCI Award To Kamal Haasan Published on March 15, 2007 by Malladi NarasimhamViewed 75 times Kamal Haasan, the illustrious actor now joins the select company of matinee icons Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Vyjayanthimala Bali, Waheeda Rehman, Dharmendra, Amithabh Bachchan, Hemamalini and nightingales Latha Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle. The ace actor has been chosen for the FICCI-FRAMES 2007 Living Legend Award which will be presented at a grand function on March 28 in Mumbai. The award is given every year for eminent personalities who have made rich contribution in the field of entertainment. Daringly different from the mundane acting style, Kamal Haasan is known for his bravery in choosing innovative characters and as an actor he has become a byword for creativity. An inspiration to a whole generation of actors and movie-goers alike, Kamal is the first actor in the world to convert his fan-clubs into social service organizations. It is only befitting the actor is chosen for one more national honour and he is the first film personality from the South films to bag the prestigious award! Here is a word on the living legend. A living legend could be defined as an individual who has during his own lifetime, achieved immortality in the annals of history through dint of sheer accomplishment of the highest virtue. This could clear the doubt lingering in the minds of two top Telugu actors on who is a legend and who is a celebrity!

  Kamal to get 'Living Legend' award! Kamal can well be called the award actor as he always gets at least 3 awards every year. He has won 15 Filmfare awards and about 3 national awards for best actor. He has also won umpteen awards from the Tamilnadu govt as well as a doctorate. The all India corporate giant FICCI with industrialist and corporate members, will give Kamal the Living Legend award at a mega function in Mumbai on March 28. Speaking about it, the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) said the award was for his sheer accomplishment of high value in the Indian film industry. Kamal has taken many a first step in Indian cinema, has been consistently dedicated to his work and involved in it passionately and everyone is well aware of that, said the announcement. Kamal is also known for putting back into films what he earns from it as well as well as many other positive aspects of his career make him eligible for this award.

He has Gym and A hair salon in his home Actor vivek said once he took suggestions from kamji regarding his(vivek's) back pain. Aandavar really seem to be a sakalakalaa doctor! He is more a healthy person, rarely goes for medical consultation, but recently before Virumaandi shoot to bigin, he was admitted in Ramachandra Hospital for some problem related to kidney. Before attending any functions in evening, he dont rush up from shoot, it seems he takes a refreshign bath before attenting any function, i hav never seen him looking tired in any event,fres both physically and mentally If you ask him his secrets of his youthness he may divert but its best to ask him about good practices for fitness. he may give some rare important tips he is an example for us, even in fitness and well being

  Quote:

  MGR on Kamal Haasan Maybe not many people in our community and the younger generation especially know that MGR had a soft corner for Thalaivar. It is said that MGR wanted Thalai to join AIADMK when his first term as CM was coming to an end. I guess Thalai initially felt obliged to accede to MGR's request but changed his mind subsequently. In the movie "Mangala Vaathiyam", Thalaivar appears in a song praising MGR - "Vandinaa Vandithaan Idhu Vaathiyaaru Vandithaan, Ethu Vandaalum Ithu Mundhi Pogum Thanga Thambi Vandithaan" - "வண்டீனா வண்டீதான் இது வாத்தியாரு வண்டீதான் , எது வந்தாலும் இது முந்தி போகும் தங்க தம்பி வண்டீதான்" (Excuse any spelling mistakes in my Tamizh) Thalai is on a cart with Sripriya in this song and will keep showing the 'two leaves' symbol. Such was their relationship! Maraka Mudiyaatha Comments by MGR on Thalaivar - 1. தம்பி கமலை போன்ற ஒரு மாபெரும் கலைஞனை என் வாழ் நாளில் பார்த்ததே கிடையாது. And this was in 1982/83... 2. After watching Salangai Oli, in one of the function MGR remarked that 'he felt ashamed to have been proud of his dancing skills especially the one he did in 'Manathi Mannan' when Kamal really showed what dancing is all about in 'Salangai Oli'. It seems the way he said it in the function was really putting himself down and making fun of himself while praising Kamal sky high. Maybe both the comments came in the same function... I cannot remember correctly. MGR had never uttered such praise worthy statements or made such comments about any other actor or public figure.

  ரஜினி கமல் சந்திப்பு
  
  
  சென்னை: தசாவதாரம் படப்பிடிப்பில் நடிகர்கள் ரஜினியும் கமலும் திடீரென்று சந்தித்து பேசினர்.
  சிவாஜி படத்தின் விட்டுப்போன காட்சிகளை சரிசெய்யும் படப்பிடிப்பு ஏவி.எம்., ஸ்டுடியோவில் நடந்து வருகிறது. இதில் பங்கேற்க நடிகர் ரஜினி வந்திருந்தார். அவருக்கான காட்சிகளை இயக்குனர் ஷங்கர் படமாக்கினார். படப்பிடிப்பு முடிந்து வெளியே வரும்போது, அடுத்த தளத்தில் கார்களும், துணை நடிகர்களும் அதிகம் நின்றிருப்பதை பார்த்து, எந்தப் படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு நடக்கிறது என்று ரஜினி கேட்டிருக்கிறார். அங்கிருந்தவர்கள். கமல் படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு நடக்கிறது என்றதும், ரஜினி படப்பிடிப்பு தளத்திற்குள் சென்றிருக்கிறார்.
  ரஜினி வருவது பற்றி இணை இயக்குனர் ஒருவர், கமலிடம் ஓடிப்போய் சொன்னார். உடன், கமல் வந்து ரஜினியை வரவேற்றார். இருவரும் சில நிமிடங்கள் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்தனர். அரங்கு அமைப்பு வித்தியாசமாக இருக்கிறது என்று ரஜினி சொல்ல, படத்தில் எல்லாமே வித்தியாசமாக இருக்கும் என்று சிரித்துக் கொண்டே சொன்ன கமல், படப்பிடிப்பு தளத்திற்கு வெளியே நிறுத்தப்பட்டிருந்த கேரவனுக்கு ரஜினியை அழைத்து சென்றார்.
  
  சிறிது நேரத்தில் கமல் தனது உதவியாளரை அழைத்து, தசாவதாரம் போட்டோ ஆல்பத்தை கொண்டுவரச் சொல்லி ரஜினியிடம் காட்டியிருக்கிறார். அதில் பத்து, கெட் அப்களில் கமலின் போட்டோக்களை பார்த்த ரஜினி, நல்லா வந்திருக்கு என்று பாராட்டியுள்ளார். இருவரும், சிவாஜி படம் பற்றியும், தசாவதாரம் படம் பற்றியும் அரை மணிநேரம் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்தனர். அதன்பிறகு ரஜினி அங்கிருந்து புறப்பட்டு சென்றார்.

  These are certainly good suggestions but you could have phrased little more politely.
  
  I would suggest the same thing to Rajni. Because they have fans who love them but they can be believers and nonbelievers too. So, keeping away from religious issues esp when they are addressing public meetingsor interviews is good for them ! THey can always say their stand when they were asked to respond. Who cares what they believe in which is their personal matter. THey can keep that in a personal level so that they can gain more respect from public and fans with various beliefs!

  Selva,

  Yes, Kannan Swamy is an incomparable senior fan (also holds a very senior position at work, next to VP) and as you said, is a knowledge repository. Aandavar also knows him personally. Most of his posts are bang on and informative. He is our main guide/contributor for social activities. He never misses FDFS and no matter which country he is in, he comes to India for the release (for VR MBBS he came to Sangam theatre straight from the airport i think). Kungumam (or Kumudham) also carried an article on him during MX release...
  </Dig>
  
  Sakala,
  Last week, Aandavar was shooting at Shankara Hospital in Medavakkam - Pathani/Sardarji getup and foreigner getup.

  Excerpts
  

  Quote:

  You can’t keep blaming the audience and say they like it. If you give people a chequered shirt, they will wear it. Who decides the fashion. Definitely not the people. Business ethics should ensure that you don’t sell something that will kill people You mean we have to segregate content? My friend Goldie Anand, lost his job for saying this. That was a political statement. I will say it, as I have nothing to loose. You must allow X-rated films and separate them from family entertainment. Currently, we are mixing it all. Mainstream cinema is being corrupted by this content. Censor board is a body appointed by us and we cannot let them behave like monitoring royalty. The industry must have a say in this issue. Instead of throwing a little bit of the sex into, say almost all, Tamil songs which have lyrics about licking, sucking, tasting and biting, (I'm just translating what’s publicly aired on FM channels all the while) separate the X rated stuff. All of this is frustration which needs an outlet. Who should take these initiatives? The industry has to do it. Let us approach the whole issue methodically, like say the how a medical professional would do. Cinema is everybody's favourite art. So everybody thinks it is easy entry and everybody can indulge in it. Not so. It is like quacks who kill people. In this case, we kill the culture. Just because we do not see people die physically, it does not mean we can allow these. That's what is ailing this industry. We must have the consciousness of a doctor and the finesse of a neuro surgeon. There is a method and a system. There are so many minute issues involved. What’s happening now is like a child plonking on a piano. But, we have been suffering this child for over 50 years.

  It is a topic which we can go on debating without any conclusion !!
  Many great film artists (Dev Anand, Madhu, now Kamal) have raised similar opinions - The duty of the board is to issue certificate and not remove scenes.
  
  If you see the multiplexes, they do strict check on age proof for 'A' movies.
  It means there are no implementation issues if we have 'X' rated movies and allow entry only for adults.
  
  But unfortunately we have a bunch of people who will cry and shout about our so called "culture" - and then the same situation will continue in our movies - double meaning dialogs, heroine licking hero's fingers in a suggestive way etc etc

  Quote:

  Shooting of Sivaji was getting wrapped up a couple of days ago in A V M studios. For a song sequence, superstar was spotted appearing like M.G.R. and Sivaji. As the film is getting simultaneously filmed in Telugu also, Rajinikanth had turned up as N.T.R. and Chiranjeevi and the shot was canned with smooth perfection. Kamal-Rajini After the completion of his scenes, when he was coming out, Rajinikanth found the adjacent sets to be crowded with cars and junior artists. When he realized it was Kamal’s Dasavatharam which was progressing, he went to the sets to have a glimpse of what’s going on. Kamal on hearing about his bosom buddy’s arrival at the sets, rushed to welcome him. After the tour of the sets, when superstar had commented about the uniqueness of the same, Kamal had replied that everything about the movie itself was special and extraordinary. The two of them had an animated discussion for some time after which Kamal took Rajini to his caravan which was parked outside. Dasavatharam album was shown to Rajini who appeared to have been thoroughly impressed with the ten different getups of Kamal. The matinee idols of Kollywood were engaged in intense conversation about each other’s film for some time. It was also said that Kamal was enquiring about the unauthorized leak of Sivaji songs in the net with a lot of concern.

  கமலை ரசித்த ரஜினி
  தசாவதாரம் பட ஷூட்டிங்குக்கு திடீர் என வந்த சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினி, கமலின் 10 அவதாரங்களையும் பார்த்து வியந்து போய், உங்களுக்கு நிகர் நீங்கள்தான் என்று கூறி வாயாரப் பாராட்டினார்.
  சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் என்ற பெரிய பட்டம் தலைக்கு மேல் பல காலமாக தொங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்த போதிலும் அதன் கனம் தலைக்குள் போய் விடாமல் படு எளிமையாக இருப்பவர் ரஜினி.
  திறமையாளர்களை வாய் விட்டுப் பாராட்டுவது, எளிமையாக பழகுவது என பல நல்ல பழக்கங்கள் ரஜினியிடம் இருப்பதால்தான், இன்னும் அவர் திரையுலகின் முடி சூடா மன்னராக இருக்கிறார்.
  
  தனது தாராள மனப்பான்மையை மீண்டும் ஒரு முறை நிரூபித்துள்ளார் ரஜினி. சிவாஜி படத்தின் ஓரிரு பேட்ச் அப் காட்சிகளில் நடித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார் ரஜினி. ஏவி.எம். ஸ்டுடியோவில் இந்தக் காட்சிகள் படமாக்கப்பட்டு வருகின்றன.
  
  அப்போதுதான் கமல்ஹாசன் இன்னொரு தளத்தில் தசாவதாரம் படப்பிடிப்பை நடத்திக் கொண்டிருப்பது ரஜினிக்குத் தெரிய வந்தது. இதையடுத்து கிடைத்த ஒரு கேப்பில் கபால் என தசாவதாரம் ஸ்பாட்டுக்கு ஜூட் விட்டார் ரஜினி.
  
  ரஜினியைப் பார்த்ததும் தசாவதாரம் யூனிட் ஆச்சரியத்தில் மூழ்கியது. கமலை நெருங்கிய அவர் படப்பிடிப்பு குறித்து கேட்டறிந்தார். குறிப்பாக கமல் போட்டுள்ள 10 ேவடங்கள் குறித்தும் ஆர்வமாக விசாரித்தார்.
  
  தான் போட்டுள்ள சில கெட்டப்களை கமல், ரஜினிக்குப் போட்டுக் காட்டினார். அதைப் பார்த்த ரஜினி ஆச்சரியமாகிப் போய் விட்டாராம். அதிலும் நீக்ரோ வேடத்தில் கமலைப் பார்த்த அவருக்கு சுத்தமாக அடையாளமே தெரியவில்லையாம். கமல், இது நான்தான் என்று விளக்கிய பிறகே அவருக்கு அது கமல் என்று தெரிந்ததாம்.
  
  கமல்ஹாசன் போட்டுள்ள 10 அவதாரங்களையும் பிரத்யேகமாக பார்த்த ரஜினி, அசந்து போய் விட்டாராம். கமலின் கைகளைப் பிடித்து உங்களுக்கு நிகர் நீங்கள்தான். பக்கத்தில் கூட யாரும் வர முடியாது என்று பிரமித்துப் பாராட்டினாராம்.
  
  கமல், ரஜினி ஆகிய இரு டைட்டான்களின் இந்த சந்திப்பு அரை மணி நேரம் நீடித்ததாம். கோலிவுட்டின் இரு இமயங்களின் சந்திப்பு குறித்த தகவல் பரவியதும் பத்திரிக்கைக்காரர்கள் குவிந்து விட்டனர். அதற்குள் ரஜினி அங்கிருந்து சிவாஜிக்கு ஜூட் விட்டு விட்டார்.
  
  பின்னர் கமல் தன்னைச் சந்தித்த பத்திரிக்கையாளர்களிடம் இதுகுறித்துப் பேசுகையில், 1970லிருந்தே இருவரும் நண்பர்கள். எனவே அவர் எனது ஷூட்டிங்கைப் பார்க்க வந்ததும், நான் அவரது ஷூட்டிங்கைப் பார்க்கப் போவதும் புதிதல்ல, ஆச்சரியமும் இல்லை.
  
  அவரும் கூட 10 வேடங்களில் நடிக்க முடியும். அதற்கு முற்றிலும் தகுதியானவர்தான் ரஜினி. சிவாஜி படத்தில் கூட அவர் பல கெட்டப்களில் வருவதாக அறிந்தேன் என்றார் கமல்.
  
  சக ஹீரோக்களை விமர்சித்து வசனம் வைத்துப் பிழைப்பை ஓட்டி வரும் இன்றைய இளம் ஹீேராக்கள் இவர்களிடமிருந்து நிறைய கற்றுக் கொள்ள வேண்டியிருக்கிறது.

  10A is going to be 10 X Sakalakala Vallavan !
  
  Just a thought and an info:
  
  AFAIK, The only movie that completed 175+ days run in "Ganesh Complex" in Sivakasi is "Sakalakala Vallavan". In the balcony, the theatre owner has put up the snap he took with Nammavar at that time and the shield he received from AVM !
  
  Let me wish ALL THE VERY BEST now itself for the 10A team to break that record in terms of collections and everything !

  SV, when I was reading that article, you know how when a shooting is goin on in Chennai, how the atmosphere will be (full of cars, crowd, and crew everywhere) and how hard ppl struggle to get in and find a glimpse of their stars... Especially for a Kamal movie, you neednt ask how the scene would have been...
  
  I was wondering if how difficult it would have been for a normal person to walk in like that, how would it have been for Rajini (who's also a star) to have walked into the shooting spot, and talked to Kamal and others amidst all that crowd and stuff!

  Quote:

  Direcor Saran has reportedly struck a deal with Ayangaran for his planned next venture starring Kamal Hassan. The deal has been finalized after several rounds of talks between Saran and Karunas, who is the London owner of Ayangaran International. Under the agreement, Saran would make the film in the first basis and Ayangaran would be the official producers. Ayangaran is said to have offered Saran a huge amount. Saran had been planning for long to make a film with Kamal Haasan in the lead for his home banner, Gemini Productions. He had been writing the script for the past eight months and had waited to launch the film after the completion of "Dasavatharam" which is touted as Kamal's magnum opus. However, Saran's plans had changed after the release of Muni" which was produced under his home banner, Gemini Productions, and directed by Raghava Lawrence. Saran had faced a financial crunch for release of "Muni" and it was the distributors, Ayangaran International, which came to his help, it is said. "Muni" was released on March 9 in both Tamil and Telugu. Saran vehemently denies any problems between him and Lawrence with regard to "Muni". While "Muni" was being shot, Lawrence was unavailable for 20 days for he had to work for "Sivaji" and choreograph dances for a Chiranjivi-starrer in Telugu. "Muni" facilitated Lawrence's entry into Tamil after a gap of four years and he had the chance of both directing and acting in the film, claims Saran.

  Exclusive - Ayngaran to produce Kamal's next movie
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  
  March 30, 2007
  
  This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com
  
  
  In a country where films are considered a religion and cine stars are placed on a monumental pedestal, the announcement about a new film of their favorite icon is bound to escalate the spirit of every eager fan. When it comes to Kamal Hassan who is known to eat, drink
  
  
  
  
  breathe and cinema, his fans all round the globe are anticipating every film of his. The next project for this talented actor after Dasavatharam is reported to be with director Saran which will be produced by the London based Ayngaran International on a first copy basis. For Ayngaran, this is the second jackpot in line as they had already clinched the deal on the international distribution rights of super star's magnum opus Sivaji.
  
  Nag Ravi who is better known as actress Sneha's former friend is likely to co-produce this movie. He is also a very good friend of Saran and is reported to stand by him in most of his endeavors.
  
  In Kollywood, directing Kamal Hassan will be a tall dream for any aspiring director and for Saran opportunity seems to have knocked at his door for the second time. His earlier film Vasool Raja M.B.B.S with Kamal was also a hit. Thoroughly impressed by the professionalism demonstrated by Saran during the making of Vasool Raja M.B.B.S, Kamal had promised another film with him. By accepting to do a film with the director Kamal has kept his promise. Story of the film is still kept under wraps.
  
  Saran is naturally delighted at the prospect of directing the veteran. His production company which released Muni recently is also said to be doing good business. This unnamed film will begin after the release of Dasavatharam in June and Kamal's brief respite following the release.

  Kamal's Instinct - Sounds comedy but fact
  
  
  1) In 1978, his Tamil movie "Sivappu Rojakal" got released. He played the role of a Psychopath killer (femicide).One year later, a guy called Psycho Raman was caught for brutally murdering people especially women.
  2) In 1988, kamal played the role of a unemployed youth in the movie "Sathya". In 89-90's our country faced lot of problems due to unemployment.
  
  3) In 1992, his blockbuster movie "Devar Magan" got released. Its a village based subject. There will be some scenes portraying communal clashes. Exactly a year later in 1993, there were many communal clashes in southern districts.
  
  4) We all know in 1996 many people in our country was cheated by finance companies. Our Kamal Hasan has clearly depicted this in his movie "mahanadhi" which got released in 1994 itself.
  
  5) In "heyram"(2000), there are some scenes relating to Hindu Muslim clashes . We all know 2 years later, godhra(Gujarat riots) incident happened.
  
  6) He used a word called 'tsunami' in his movie "Anbesivam"(2003).The word 'tsunami' was not known to many people before. In 2004, 'tsunami' stuck the east coast of our country and many people lost their lives.
  
  7) In his latest movie "Vettaiyadu Vilayadu "(2006) there are two characters called ila&amudhan who played the roles of psychopath killers. After 3 months of release of the movie, the noida serial killing came to light (moninder/sathish)

  Kalai Kaavalar Padmashree Dr.Kamal Haasan and Kerala Police:
  
  THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala police have cast their charm-offensive dragnet in the site teeming with icons that attract agreeable publicity: filmdom.
  
  The force, which is celebrating its golden jubilee along with Kerala’s first communist government, is not partial to desi or even regional ambassadors of goodwill. Indeed, a film festival of police stories, scheduled next week in Thiruvananthapuram, will deploy Kamal Haasan, Om Puri, and Denzel Washington in a mission to bring the public closer to the force.
  
  “The idea is to showcase the service rendered by the Kerala police to the public in the 50 years of its existence,” said Arun Kumar Sinha, south zone inspector-general, who is in charge of the jubilee’s publicity. “We are planning to strengthen the public-police interaction through the festival.”
  
  Sinha said the festival’s film list is not ready yet, but it seems the broad thematic concern has been settled. “We will screen films that are based on true police operations,” he said.
  
  Some apt suspects are said to have been identified by the department for its fraternising endeavour. Ram Gopal Varma’s Company and Govind Nihalani’s Ardh Satya will be the draftees from Bollywood. Kamal Haasan’s Kuruthipunal and Vaettaiyady Vilauyadu will offer a reassuring southern voice, while The Bone Collector, starring Denzel Washington, will come from Hollywood on cultural deputation.
  
  Curiously, the police have shunned homemade police sagas. Suresh Gopi’s police films, which had been huge hits in the state for its anti-establishment rhetoric and ‘out-of-the-way’ manhandling scenes, have been cold-shouldered by the selection committee.
  
  “Police officers are depicted as shady characters in most films,” said S Vijayan, deputy superintendent, who has been assigned the task of identifying the movies. “We are presenting a few films that show sincere police officers.” The festival will run from April 18 to 21.
  
  The force is also using non-fiction to facilitate community building. An exhibition providing insights into all police wings – crime, forensic, finger-printing, and cyber crime – will be organised during the jubilee.

  April 9, 2007
  
  
  
  The career graph of Bharath is certainly on an enviable track for any upcoming actor. Right from the beginning of his career, he has been associated with popular banners and directors. After Veyil's success, it will be Koodal Nagar for Bharath where he gets to play double roles for the first time.
  
  
  
  
  After this film, the talented actor is involved simultaneously in two projects viz. Nepali and Killadi. While talking about his role in Nepali, Bharath says, "Kamal is my source of inspiration for Nepali. I have seen his 'enakkul oruvan' where he has acted as a Nepali. I have very keenly observed his mannerisms, body language in the film which I have watched at least ten times". Though his twin projects are simultaneously coming up, he said that he would space them up and ensure that there is at least two to three months of interval between his releases. Readers may recall that his Chennai Kaadal and Veyil were released at the same time.

  Karumaathur Kattukkulle was featured briefly, almost in the background and only for a few bars; this is right after the Viru Virumaandi song (when Kamal goes off to ease himself and gets an aruvaal planted on his back).

  Quote:

  Kamal lauds judiciary! By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 14 April , 2007, 11:40 Kamal Hassan lauded the judiciary as a fair and just institution, in a press statement issued by him. The actor had made these comments after a writer had accused him of plagiarism regarding the story of Dasavatharam. However the claim was dismissed by the Madras High Court. Kamal in his statement said- “We are glad that our trust in our legal system and its justice has been vindicated. We are proud that we did not entertain such lumpen and rightfully took recourse to the law and our legal system.” Kamal always had the sneaking suspicion that this was the job of an “industry insider” who was behind the episode. Added Kamal :”All I can say is shame on such men, kudos, to our legal system. Once again they have stood by truth and upheld justice.”

  Then they should go after all the shows that make fun of classic movies. Yesterday, in Super 10, they spoofed Nayakan and Badsha and trashed the Indian Cricket team. What do they say about that?
  
  I think we should take it in good humour. My complain will be that there are better way to spoof those films in good taste. They should protest the bad taste, not the actors. Kamal and NT's fame, popularity and talent has not gone down because of this silly show.

  KB's words for kamal on the event of kamal getting Living Legend Award
  
  

  Quote:

  nan state award vaangina adutha varusham kamal state award vaanguvar, nan filmfare award vaangina adutha varusham kamal state award vanguvaar, nan kalaimaamani award vanginen adutha varusham kamal vanginar, na padmashree vanginen adutha varsham kamal vanginar... ennada pinnalaiye variye, enna potiya nu ketten... apram avar pala award vangittar, athu ennala mudiyathu nu umpire madhiri ninthuten

  
  
  summarising that - whenever KB got some award, kamal followed the league, next year, after few awards, kb asked kamal in a happily funny way that"are you following me in those awards, like a competitors???!!!" but at later stage, he got so many awards which i didnt get, so i just stood like an Umpire (whereas kamal is giving century over century)

  Seems like sarans movie with kamal is dropped
  
  http://www.dinakaran.com/cinema/bits/default.asp
  
  Actually Saran had given 2 Crores advance and made an agreement that he would give Aandavar part of the salary in the form of rights for AP, Satellite and FMS(Overseas) but since he was being threatened and pressurized by a Madurai Katta Panchayathu financier (incidentally, to whom GV owed money before he died) to repay the money Saran had taken for Muni. At that time, Ayngaran had helped Saran and hence the Kamal film rights were given to Ayngaran and of course, Aandavar was kept in the dark about all this. Hence, to avoid another "VV", this project has been dropped.

  Another update from bala(thinkfloyd)
  
  Oru nalla news nu paartha innoru not-so-nalla news...
  Gemini Circuit Films (L.V Prasad's grandson) have approached Aandavar for Lage Raho remake, for which they have already bagged the rights.
  Aandavar's initial question was "yen thiruppiyum idhaye panreenga?" and he also expressed apprehensions about the commercial viability (no market in AP/Karnataka/Hindi because remake already made).... Still, he has not said a final NO yet, which is worrisome... Also, fortunately, the payment this production house is offering is a pittance which means we can hope this deal won't materialize...
  
  Apart from this, there are 2 other producers who are negotiating, including the NRI producer... Director Bala's name came up (Aandavar brought up his name) but he has been warned of the time Bala takes... Another producer was dropped because his offer was nowhere near Aandavar's proposed salary.
  
  So, Aandavar's next film will be with whoever makes the first (agreed) payment - Gemini, X (whose name i will reveal later and also the salary which has gone a GOOD notch) and the NRI producer.

  I wouldn't mind KH 'the scriptwriter' joining hands with Actor KH.
  
  And getting a suitable young director..That way, the young blood in tamil cinema can learn a lot from him..and they can put that in CAPS in their CV..what say, guys?
  
  My preferred order would be:
  Bala
  Selva Raghavan
  Ameer

  Actor Kamal hassan is the Producer for Director Kamalhassan.
  
  So it won't be happen for next 5 years.
  
  And IMO Other than few young directors in the current, no can give a very good role to Kamal's acting skill.
  
  So Director Kamal would be the best person to get Most of the acting skills of an actor.

  I think he will do only Hero for next 5 years atleast. He can direct the movies with main charcter as himself.
  
  But i remeber one of his interview to Kumudam in 1997.

  Kannan,
  
  To me Bala is one of the most overrated director and I get irritated when I see the hype created for him (this as much as the hype created for Vikram). I dont understand what is great about his movies. And his all three films - Sethu, Nantha and Pithamagan - to me did not make any sense and Nandha being the most irritating movie I have ever seen. Laila was potrayed as almost a loosu character and Surya's mother character was simply sickening. All what he does is to create an abnormal role like a mentally retarded Sethu, or a some nutty characters like Laila and Surya's mother in Nandha and similarly in Pithamagan. That's how he manipulates and I am sure it wouldnt work well with Kamal. And I simply dont want to see Kamal playing those kind of meaningless abnormal roles.
  
  He is yet to prove himself as a fulfledged director, by giving an effective and strong story - with ordinary characters ( similar thing applies to Vikram). Only then he could be called good I would say.
  
  PS: I was very happy for Ajith - when he got out of 'naan kadavuL' project.

  "The amount of special effects involved in Kamal Hassan's Dasavatharam is humungous and never before has such magnitude of visual effects been attempted in any Indian film ever" - Ashmith Kunder
  By IndiaFM News Bureau, April 19, 2007 - 05:41 IST
  
  He got his degree in Engineering and after the completion of the course he realized that engineering was not for him. He then turned towards what he really wanted to do, Films. We are talking about Ashmith Kunder who is one of the most sought after film editor in Bollywood.
  
  He has edited Matrubhoomi: Nation without Women which won many awards globally; Kamal Hassan's Mumbai Xpress and is currently working on Hassan's ambitious magnum opus Dasavatharam where Mr. Kamal Hassan essays 10 roles. Ashmith is also editing Shemaroo's animation flick, Ghatothkach - Master of Magic.
  
  Ashmith is also an esteemed and the youngest jury member on the panel of Indian Telly awards. And yes, the younger brother of Jaan-E-Mann director Shirish Kunder and Farah Khan's pampered brother-in-law.
  
  In an exclusive interview to IndiaFM, Ashmith Kunder talks about his life, film career and future plans.
  
  How did your film career start?
  After I completed my graduation in engineering, I worked for Siemens. Few months into the job and I could take it no more! I chucked my job and decided to pursue what I believed was my calling. I joined a studio as an apprentice editor, obviously working without any salary! There I worked on various documentaries, music videos, ad films and TV shows. Later, when my brother Shirish Kunder turned independent film editor, I joined him. That was the beginning of my career in film editing.
  
  Did you take special training from some institute?
  No… I learnt everything while on the job, and from innumerable books & films!
  
  Which was your first project as an editor?
  My first film was Manish Jha's, Matrubhoomi: Nation without Women. It went on to win dozens of awards at various festivals across the globe and also got me many accolades!
  
  Then how did you move on to create your own editing set up?
  To avoid waiting endlessly for studio bookings & edit without unnecessary disturbances I decided to put up my own editing set up. Also, I felt that my directors felt reassured that they had a dedicated machine at their disposal and also other clients at the studio were not peeping at their film when they were not around!
  
  What are the responsibilities/roles of a film editor in today's times? Have the things changed in past few yrs?
  The primary responsibilities of the editor have remained the same…that of giving shape to the directors vision. But with giant leaps being taken on the technological front, complexities and responsibilities of the editor's work profile has increased. But obviously the end result, which can be achieved, is phenomenal and makes it worth the effort!
  
  You also edit ad-films.
  Yes…I have edited numerous ad films such as Coke, Pepsi, Sunfeast, Himani, Videocon etc.
  
  What are the projects that you are working on currently?
  I do not believe in doing 10 films at a time and taking up all the films that come my way! I believe in being exclusive and concentrating and giving my best shot to a few selected projects.
  
  I am presently working on Kamal Haasan's magnum opus, Dasavatharam and the animation flick, Ghatothkach - Master of Magic, being made in 8 languages. Renowned filmmaker Singeetam Srinivasa Rao, who had earlier made classics like Appu Raja & Pushpak, is directing it.
  What is Dasavatharam about? Tell us something about the film?
  Dasavatharam is an edge of the seat roller coaster entertainer where Mr. Kamal Hassan essays 10 roles. The amount of special effects involved is humungous and never before has such magnitude of visual effects been attempted in any Indian film ever. And that makes my job a lot more arduous as well!
  
  The film boasts mostly of an international crew, with action directors, Special visual effect directors and makeup men from all over the world! With this film I feel I have gained such tremendous knowledge of special effects that I can take on any complex project.
  
  The amount of special effects involved in Dasavatharam is humungous and never before has such magnitude of visual effects been attempted in any Indian film ever.
  Why does Kamal Hassan always go for you to edit his films?
  He is very demanding; precision and quality is what he expects. I guess it's because, I deliver the results he demands irrespective of whatever the adversities are! Apart from the fact that we share a terrific rapport, it has always been a matter of privilege and pride for me to work with him.

  Hmm.. you have a point there about pithamagan. I didn't like it at all. Same goes for Laila character in Nanda. But as sakala pointed out, he was quite good in Sethu and Nanda.
  
  He indeed needs to prove himself with normal stories. After Naan Kadavul, we'll know what he is really capable of.

  Bala is flawed and pretentious..but who isn't in Tamil cinema??? Pithamagan-Vikram character is probably the most overhyped characters of all. But what about Surya in the same movie..He can frame good supporting roles in his movies.. And believe me, if he joins hands with Kamal, it could actually do good things for him..

  Nerd,
  
  You are one good person who can generalise things very well and interpret things as per your own convenience (BTW show me where I have mentioned GM as periya director) Please check the top 10 ever thread and see whether you can find GM in my tope 10 directors list.
  
  IMO - Bala is one of the most overated directors and his films make no sense to me. I bet that he can never make an effective story with ordinary characters. And sorry I dont analyse or rate movies based on other people's opinion, rather it is based on what I feel or what impact the movie creates on me As I said earlier I would be happier if Kamal does not work with Bala at all.

  The credit should go to Surya than Bala I would say. Apart from that I dont remember any other well made supporting roles in his other two movies. Surya's mother character in Nandha was a most irritating supporting role ( or was she a villi ) I have ever seen. And Kamal is not for supporting roles nor meaningless lead roles like Pithamagan Vikram.

And Kamal is not for supporting roles nor meaningless lead roles like Pithamagan Vikram.

  
  
  Like Sivakumar,his wife in Sethu...Nanda's Conman/burglar in Karunas was great. Pithamagan Characters like Sangeetha’s, Surya’s, Karunas’, Mano bala’s were pretty good. I think he has developed in framing supporting roles more and interestingly quite opposite with the lead roles, it has become worse..
  
  But seriously, you don't like Vikram's performance in Sethu too? Thats probably the only protagonist role in all Bala movies that I liked. His other movies generally suffer from over-the-top overblown magnitude of acting..Like Surya (and yeah, his mom) in Nanda, Vikram in Pithamagan..
  
  Moreover some parts of his movies were better than the whole stuff in display.. What do you think? Like the whole con angle in Pithamagan was much better than the typical revenge stuff with an extraordinary chimp-kind of an undertaker..Again, there are people who believe its great..Somehow I don't like it.. Jaiganesh's post looked convincing but still, I think the character should have convinced me.
  
  Nope, Kamal wouldn't play meaningless lead roles but he can help/guide Bala in that regard.. That's why I said, it could actually do good things for Bala

  "Nothing done in India has come close to Dasavatharam" – Ashmith Kunder By Behindwoods News Bureau. April 20, 2007 When Kamal Hassan invites someone for a job, the person is certain to feel elated. But when he calls him again, one can rest assured that the credentials of the person in question are sure to be blemish free. We are talking about renowned editor Ashmith Kunder who had earlier worked with Kamal in Mumbai Express and is currently involved in his magnum opus Dasavatharam. While talking about the film and the experience of working with Kamal, the editor is obviously in awe of the actor and his perfection. He says that Dasavatharam is shaping up very well and the huge amount of special effects used in the film will be a treat. "Nothing done in India has come close to this one. It's humungous and it was definitely challenging". According to him the film also boasts some of the best in the action and make up department. "Arguably the biggest production in India till date, if you just look at the cost of the film making alone", states the technician. He is also very proud about the fact that he has earned the confidence and trust of Kamal Hassan and is extremely delighted to work with him.

  yosika vendiya vishyam daan..But don't you think all young directors now need some guidance..they are pretty bad in their own way. But sure, would like to see Kamal "the scriptwriter and director".. Which directors do you think are better than Bala? I don't think Cheran is any better. another sentimentally cliched director.. Selva Raghavan is definitely not a bad choice but he seem to like eccentric roles. Would be interesting and moreover, he is a self-proclaimed KH fan.. Ameer is another big KH fan..He should be having some interesting thoughts too.. I feel Tamil cinema is at a low point right now, very few good movies then and there. When Kamal could use Sundar C in Anbe sivam..these young directors could do a lot and learn a lot from Kamal's vision..Thats why, I am hoping for a young director..

  He is yet to prove himself as a fulfledged director, by giving an effective and strong story - with ordinary characters ( similar thing applies to Vikram).

  Disagree.
  
  With Bala -and in particular Pithamagan - people seem to either love it or hate it. There seems to be no middle ground.
  
  Pithamagan had its several moments thanks solely to Bala. The atmosphere of death hangs around repelling all of us except Sidhan. I was positively nauseous when the young SidhAn in the oversized shirt is eating the rice next to the burning ghat.
  
  That to me is an example of what Bala is all about. That one passing scene in a song is extremely unreal. If you are balanced enough you would say, that's just milking emotion. No vettiyAn is going to be dining next to the pyre. Well this one does. And even that's not the point. The fact that he rocked people (like me) off balance suspending such questions is the victory.
  
  I even remember the force in the parotta shop fight and the one is the lock up. Makes you feel uncomfortable for the broken necks. This is after beiung inured for years seeing Rajini to Ramarajan twist goodas necks as if they were bottle caps to be screwed open.
  
  The novelty of death wears out and stops affecting us till Surya is killed. Vikram's standing unfazed was indeed a curious reaction and I was quite perplexed. Was even with Sangeetha when she shoos him off. But the next scene, with Vikram discovering death through shook me up. It is when the previous sequences make sense and suddenly the movie stands up huge all of a sudden.
  
  Bala, IMO, had done a tremendous job of setting things up for explosion. Any second grade director, doyens included, would have cut to flashes of a laughing Sakthi, to unbderline the loss etc (irony, that old thing that sells). Bala scores the loss through the skull and Siddhan's response to it.

  I had problems with Pithamagan only due to Sithan's characterization. A feral man in the midst of civilization was utterly unconvincing. I accept that the initial scenes jolt the viewers, but by the interval, Sithan starts to get on our nerves.

  I have already said that Bala is good. Most directors have a pet theme and I don't mind if Bala continues to choose such themes for his movies. My point that he should prove himself with normal stories was with respect to the speculation that he might direct Kamal next. We have had enough weirdo portrayals by him.

  Nerd, you sau GM overrated and Bala is ok. You also mention Gm's word during his interview like "o film like this, tech is too good "ect,......yes he said this but this didnt make him overrated....
  
  but if u still say his is overrated, theni would say same apply to bala. he wrote a big series in vikatan wich has lot of self boastings....
  
  he didnt give ane film for past 3 yrs and his last pithamagan is almost a crap. pithamaganukku illaatha over-hypeaa?? on that regard there were no extra-hype for VV. it was only deserved hype.....
  
  VV looks like a commercial masala but it has lot of good logic intelligence visuals art BGM presentation ect in it...i rate VV as an above Average movie and PKMC not bad though.
  
  apart,. everyone are overrated sometime, like Rajni during baba, and kamal during aalavanthaan. who is not.....
  
  GM is surely deservedto do another movie with kamal and he is in the important list of potential best directors among today's

  Hi PR Welcome Back !!
  
  Enna thideernu kaaNaama pOyiteenga ?
  
  As regards Pitha Magan - with all respect to your views, I have to again stress that the movie did not impress me at all - except for Surya's performance and I would certainly credit that to Surya rather than to Bala, as Surya can perform such a role with a lot of ease ( Eg: Mayavi and he even had some shades of it in his very earlier movie poovellaam kEttuppAr).
  
  I first watched it at the time of release (nalla vELai - VCD la thaan pArthEn) and after seeing all those overhyped reviews and some different views from people like you, I again sat last week to watch it when it was shown on SUN TV. To be frank the movie tested my patience much more than what it did during the first viewing and at one point I started switching on channels and getting back to see only when Surya appeared. Every time I saw Vikram I was cursing the National Award selection panel. The role itself was unrealistic and as such EthO thaamarai ilai thanneerpOl kadaisivarai oru feeling and despite all efforts to milk emotions it hardly created an impact ( and I am a person who easily gets moved even with fraction-of-a-second touchy scenes ).
  
  As you rightly said with Bala -and in particular Pithamagan - people seem to either love it or hate it. There seems to be no middle ground and I think I fall into the 2nd category - and thats why I do not want to take a chance watching KH in a Bala movie

Bala is million times better than GM when it comes to quality scripts/charecterizations etc.., Bala has sEthu, pithAmagan and nandha in his resume whereas GM has a mediocre VV, half-good KK and a timepass minnalE and dud PKMC under his belt.

  Agree about this.
  
  In fact I seem to be pretty uncomfortable when Kamal is in a non-Kamal film. IMO he has to write and direct (either actively himself or alongside KSR, Santhanabarathy etc.).
  
  I have a very meagre opinion about Gautham Menon. And was very wary that Kamal was working with him. VV did little to change my opinion. I'm pretty glad the Saran movie got scrapped.
  
  Post Dasavatharam I hope he gets more open to his roles as producer/writer. Even simple sillies like Nala Damayanthi from the Rajkamal stable, would be good.

  I am a bit different. I prefer him working with other directors other than KSR, Santhanabarathy et al as I think they can bring out something different from him - like what we saw in VV - that simple and subtle performance yet difficult for any other actor. Antha character paakumpOthu - EthO romba easy role maathiri theriyum - but I felt it was one of the most difficult roles - to which only Kamal can do justice.

  I liked his sethu and Pithamagan very much ,but not Nandha.
  
  IMO,Surya's performance in Pithamagan is one of the over hyped .It was surely very good ,but not extrodinary as potrayed by many.

  2003 Jan was Anbe Sivam. It must have been in contention for the 2003 awards. (Ajay Devgan won for Bhagat Singh).
  
  Late 2003 was Pithamagan
  2004 Jan was Virumaandi.
  These two were in the season contending for the 2004 awards. I distinctly remember reading that Vikram pipped Kamal by one vote and that Irfan Khan came a distant third (for Maqbool).

  //dig//
  
  1. I completely agree. (When I say completely agree, it doesn't mean hatred towards Bala, infact it means what type of actor has he bought. Only Sethu was notable but in that too Vikram copies Kamal. Most of the films of Vikram, I see him copying Kamal a lot.). So how can Vikram be called a worth actor. Lets wait for some more movies from Vikram and then decide whether he is worthy or not.
  
  2. Infact, Bala should feel for missing out on Ajith.

  Lets continue on Kamal.

  ThalaNass,
  
  In addition to that - I would like to say that Surya's performance in Kakka Kakka was 180 degree change from what he did in Nandha. If not for Kakka Kakka he would have ended up doing roles like 2nd hero or rowdy type ones.

  Anyway lets get back to Kamal.

  1. No one will hate BALA for that reason and it is an "Over the Top" Statement
  
  2. May be - One day everyone will address Bala as "Chee chee indha paLam pulikkum"

  Yes Ofcourse. But this is Same for Vikram too. But In Pithamagan surya stole the show and bring the house down. Without Surya ,Pithamagan would have become a dud in BO.
  
  Vikram was very well deserved National Award for Sethu but not for Pithamagan.

  Yeppa Bala mattum illa..yellarum kuppai-la vilunda mattai daan..yellarum ada yenda alavukku kelari koodu karanga daan difference..Anda vagai-la Bala, Selvaraghavan, Cheran (but def not his acting) and Ameer are much better. adaan yenoda poduvana karuthu. Although they are all flawed, pretentious and dependant on their territory, they should first start experimenting more.
  
  Like Bala's weirdo protagonist has clearly become stale..Cheran runs with sentiments, although porkalam and Bharathi kannama should have done it, he still does it (and adds the family sentiments).. Mayakkanadhi should have been a reality check.. Ameer has the signs and one director who is frank about his work.. From his interviews, I can tell you he is determined.. Selva Raghavan's movies are based on eccentric roles..
  
  And finally, we also get few good movies then and there like Kanda naal mudhal from PR's productions..
  
  But none of this could match movies from the older generation..The golden Big B's period (Balachander, Balu mahendra, Bharathi Raja). SSR, Santhana bharathi (okay KH) came into fore later.. Kamal haasan has taken over with two tremendous films in Hey ram and Virumandi..Anbe Sivam is more a KH product than Sunder C.
  
  J. Mahendran, S.P Muthuraman were making good products back then before they became pathetic..
  
  KH's vision should be a guiding light for this new Generatione.. So I wouldn't mind if any of them works with him..
  
  Now Why bring Ajith-Bala feud here? Ajith might be better of without Bala's help while Bala could also fail with Naan kadavul as Arya 'mundam' can't act for nuts.. any one with little bit semblance of knowing Tamil cinema should be knowing Ajith is a much better choice than Arya.. vidunga.. some misunderstanding, I guess..
  
  Vikram's best role so far is Sethu..But pithamagan was crap..End of story..While he often ruins the role.. Just because the coordinates of the roles are different, it doesn't make him a great actor.. He is getting worse in my opinion. But I don't know what others feel about him..
  
  Surya owes his career to both Gautam and Bala. Kaakha kaakha is much better than the stereotyped Nanda..But pithamagan is just the best I've seen in terms of his screen presence without being serene or having his dad Sivakumar's hangover.. Credit to Bala..
  
  Young Bharath is one of the promising actor around..
  
  Pasupathy from Virumandi's evidence is another.
  
  That's it from my end.. A Honest rant from a Tamil cinema fanatic who is worried about the current state of affairs.. Neenga yenna sonnalum..yenaku palaya Tamil Cinema thirumba venum..

  DASA CLIMAX COSTS 6 CRORES! MUMBAI: Producer V. Ravichandran is spending Rs 60 million (Rs 6 crores) to can the climax sequences of his Telugu film Dasavtharam. The film stars Kamal Haasan as the protagonist. Sources close to the development say, "In this film, Kamal Haasan portrays 10 different roles. The climax requires the presence of all the 10 characters played by Kamal Haasan. The special effects of the movie will be done in the US." Dasavtharam co-stars Asin, Mallika Sherawat, Jaya Prada and Napoleon. Himesh Reshammiya has provided the musical score for this film. Another interesting piece of news that has emerged is that veteran actors Nagesh (a Kamal favourite) and KR Vijaya have been paired for the first time in this movie

  RAmesh Kanna the comedy actor too is a part of Dasa, he will be seen along with Nagesh and KR vijaya in the screen.........They way he got a chance i this movie is interestting. Thus said Ramsh " Sir, you r going to don 10 roles and most or them would nat at all look like you, so if you dont give a chance to me, then i will propogaate a false ews that one role is mine" Kamal enjoyed this fun and as a result he got a small role in dasa.

  Interesting..Kamal rates Bala high..which means Bala has great things in store.. Because he can certainly improve over the years. He has few good things but he is flawed as well. If KH joins with Bala, it might work out.. Kamal will certainly guide him in framing a better protagonist role.

  joe, in current crop of direc, i dont feel one had done extra-ordinary film to pick up as THE BEST. all the ones we named are almost equal. so its the story which will be a deciding factor adn hope kamalji does a great selction.....apart, i dont find something spectacular in bala. he has some +ves and other have some other +ves. on that basis, surely i rake GM as a good director, and bala too in the same level. nothing above. thats my opinion...

  
  
  Sakala,
  Let us agree to disagree..I rate Bala above all(except Ameer) you mentioned.

  But in Kaadhal Kondein, if you see the role of Dhanush, the love (It dealt with sleaze matter) portrayed by the director was completely different from that portrayed by the director in Guna (Who is the director? Is it Kamal himself or Santhana Bharathi). But in Guna, the veri thanamaana kaadhal is totally starting from the devotion stage to the actress. Yes he is possessive about the relationship but it is pure love and not sleaze matter or it didn't show or portray that atleast.

  Roshan, i said all dir's are under same rating with some minor + and -. never over-rated ameer. mounam esiyathey was bit original andinteresting though, i think it ran decently, not a hit, though.. i didnt underrate or badmouth Ameer before PV and not flip my owrds..
  
  Raam had the weirdo role but performance was good. equate this with pithamagan. it will look equal.
  
  paruthiveeran was good and no need to retrait this. all this qualify ameer to join this group
  
  GM - some ppl underrate him for reasong unknown. his potetial is well visible with VV. i hate ppl who say VV is a mediocre - (intentional)ignorance at bliss. his minnaley was a crap but KK VV and PKMC all had good stuff. i dont care abt PKMC source. he was honest to accept that and impossibilities of buying a legal rights of originals were discussed. others (like selva) were not ready to accept this 'inspiration'. that itself makes GM personally a good person.
  
  Jananaathan of Eyarkai and EE too is a good director with stuff,
  
  see, i say all these to tell that they are more or less equal. these guys pass in semi-finals. but to pass finals, you must have a good story. and that neednot have anything to do with their past credits. all are eligible to meet Dr.Kamal with a story. thast my point.

  My Choice for KH would be "Selvaragavan"
  
  TI, KK, 7G and PP will make his resume interesting at any day.
  I think it requires lot of GUTS to give a movie like TI in tamil cinema. I did like the movie since it didn't had anything forced on the audience.
  KK - Good movie with neat presentation. I agree that it was indeed inspired from GUNA. But the execution was good.
  7G - My favorite Selva movie. Beauty of his is portraying real life romance. Character of "Kathir" is a neat example of a mad lover.
  
  PP - Though I didn't like this movie, I saw many appreciating this one. I don't think it will be factor which will stand b/w him in directing a KH movie
  
  Roshan,
  I think MOUNAM PESIYATHE is underrated IMO. It was a poetic love story with enough twists and turns. I rate that one ABOVE PV !
  Ofcourse, MP won't match "IYarkai"
  
  Ram & E - Are O.K type of movie IMO !
  
  I agree that Cheran has given good movies like BharathiKannamma which triggered people of a community to stop the screening of the movie in our town. Such was the impact created ! (I didn't see this kind of effect for PV even)

  Yes. In the name card, You will see KR. But it was SELVA who actually directed the film. Many think that only story and screenplay was done by SELVA.
  
  It is not like that. KR did directed 50% of the movie which was THROWN to the BIN by SELVA. Later on, he only directed the complete movie and finished it since he didn't like the way KR directed it !
  
  TI is indeed a complete SR movie

  You may have not underated him before PV but at the same time, like with many I think his Mounam PesiyathE and Ram wouldnt have been given this much of recognition before PV release. Thats what I felt with your post. I see people mentioning about Mounam Pesiyathe and Ram more - after PV release, which is not a healthy thing I feel.

  If Long-gelled hair, widened eyes, keeping the face serious and the body like a wood all the time and speaking in base voice is what you call 'good acting' - I am sorry I beg to differ with you. That character doesnt need any extra talent. Even an actor like Jeven could have done the same if not better than what Jeeva has done.
  
  Eventhoug I am not convinced with Pithamagan character, I simply cannot equate both. It has a lot of difference.

  Equal I agree but they have just passed the preliminary level and proved that they have potential. There is a long way for them to get to the semi final stage. With 3 or so movies (that too with one or two hits) I dont think any body can be considered to have passed semi finals. World cup term-la sollurathunna - they have just got into the super eights and they have to win at least three matches there, to see whether they are capable of getting into the semi finals.

  Well, Gautham supplies his own reasons. Kaakka Kaakka was not flawless, but it was interesting and stylish in parts. Minnale, if not anything else, was unpretentious time-pass. VV had its good parts, but it came across as very conscious about being stylish. Kamal, would have felt pretty odd, reading that script. I recall one of the deleted scenes psoted here a couple of days back. Someone going jabber-jabber talking about the villains' details for a good minute and more. Thankfully it was snipped (I'm guess Kamal may have had a say in deleting that scene). To have conceived and created such a scene speaks a lot about the writer/director.

  I did not bring the interviews until you asked me where did GM boast about himself. Fullstop.
  
  The titles, ulaganaayagan, super *, ultimate * etcc., is completely different from the content of the films that a director brings out. A director is overrated if his films get a lot of acclaim or if he is very popular but most of his films are trash. This thing fits GM more than bala.
  
  And on your comparison, I guess simbu is over-rated, calling himself little super star
  
  And well, yes GM can direct KH, who cares. I thought with bAlA his next movie would be MUCH better

  His SOL-VV comparisionis not a sin. it is not even near over-rating. lot of direc's does that. even kamal repeated that! they created the script and they would have thought some aspects were in theline of that movie. thastall and no overrating.
  
  for me, bala is no great than GM and all the new bunch of direc is almost same. so. none of them had god awards for their direc\sceenplay ect. so it all depends on the story they take to KH

  Both Kamal and Rajini are not overrated if you call them superstars. Kamal has an equal claim for that right, because they ARE currently THE ONLY superstars of the Tamil Film industry. Kamal should have rejected UlagaNayagan title which to me sounds overrated...but he didn't. But that is a different issue. They are the two best, they can do anything they want.

  The overall impression I got from the interviews during the making of the film and ex-post was that 'Kamal wanted out'. I can't point out where exactly in words if something of that sort was said. But that is the impression I got, that Kamal wanted to get it over with.
  
  Kamal's 'suggestions' are something I have to come demand now . I like Indian less precisely because it is more a Shankar film than a Kamal film.
  
  Regarding Bala v Gautham I think Joe is right. It is going nowhere.

  Towards the Eternal, the Pure all-pervasive Omniscience I travel
  I seek to transcend emotion,sense and desire.
  So help me, Lord
  
  Beyond the cycles of birth and death
  Beyond life
  Beyond the boundaries of my mind
  Beyond the darkness
  Beyond my perceptions Thou art
  Thee, I behold in the form of a Swan
  To Thee I pray for enlightenment
  
  Enlightenment, thou shalt receive by dint of thy Self
  Make pure thy body and mind
  For the path leads to solitude
  
  
  This is definitely not a word for word translation. The last stanza in particular is too short and is missing some of the cue words I was looking for, which I thought might help connect the interspersing of the stanzas and the letter's paragraphs better. EdhO kidaicha varaikkum sandOsham.

  Add me to the list of ppl who feel Bala&Ameer are overrated.I have not seen Paruthiveeran but MP&Raam were nothing great.
  
  As for Bala,I have seen all 3 of his films&felt all of them were pretty average stuff.Yes,he is not your regular commercial director like Dharani but his execution leaves a lot to be desired.
  
  Personally I feel Bala+KH=Disaster.
  
  If there is one guy I would want KH to work with it's Selvaraghavan.
  
  But the best thing would be for him to script/direct a movie with someone else playing the lead.
  
  Nerd:To each his opinion,you feel great about Bala but Sakala,Roshan,myself&other's don't.Just leave it at that.

  வைரமுத்து கேள்வி பதில் -குமுதம்
  ------------------------------------------------
  
  கேள்வி :யாரோ கதை எழுத, யாரோ இசையமைக்க, யாரோ பாட்டெழுத, யாரோ இயக்க, கடைசியில் நடிகர்கள் தானே பேரும் பணமும் வாங்குகிறார்கள்... அநியாயமில்லையா?
  
  ஒரு சம்பவம் சொல்கிறேன் :
  
  படம் : கைதியின் டயரி
  
  இடம் வாகினி அரங்கம். பாரதிராஜா இயக்கத்தில் இது ரோசாப் பூவு என்ற பாடலின் படப்பிடிப்பு. அடுத்த பாடலைக் கொடுக்கச் சென்ற நான் ஓரமாய் நின்று வேடிக்கை பார்க்கிறேன். அந்தரத்தில் ஒரு கூண்டு. அதில் இரண்டு தட்டு, மேல்தட்டில் கனமான நடிகை (அனுராதா) ; கீழ்த்தட்டில் கமல், ரெடி டேக் என்றதும் டிராலியில் கேமரா உற்சவிக்கிறது ; உறுமி மேளத்திற்கேற்பக் கூண்டு சுற்றுகிறது. மேல்தட்டு மங்கை ஆடத் தொடங்கிய அடுத்த நொடி அந்தரத்தில் ஆடிய கூண்டு அறுந்து விழுகிறது. யாத்தே! பாரதிராஜா பதறுகிறார். அய்யோ நான் அலறுகிறேன்.
  
  நண்பா! மூச்சு இருக்கிறதா? இல்லையா? உடைந்து சிதறிய கூண்டுக்கடியில் நெஞ்சில் நடிகையின் பாரம்தாங்கி அசைவின்றிக் கிடக்கிறார் கமல். யாரும் நகரவில்லை. ஒரு மயான மௌனம் காது கிழிகிறது. சற்று நேரத்தில் மெல்ல அசைந்து தானே எழுந்துகைகால் உதறி நடந்து என்னை மட்டும் கண் ஜாடையில் அழைத்துக் கொண்டு வெளியே வருகிறார் கமல். எப்படி பாரம் தாங்கினீர்கள்? என்றேன் நான். தன் வயிற்றைக்காட்டி குத்துங்கள் என்றார். குத்தினேன் வயிற்றில் மெதுவாக, குத்துங்கள் என்றால் பலமாக, ஓங்கிக் குத்தியபோது கல்லாய் இறுகிக் கிடந்தது உதரவிதானம். இழுத்த மூச்சை இறுக்கிக்கட்டிப் பாரம் தாங்கியிருக்கிறார். பிறகுதான் மூச்சு விட்டோம் இருவரும். தொழில் நுட்பக்கலைஞன் பெரும்பாலும் மூளையைப் பணயம் வைக்கிறான் ; நடிகன் _ உயிரையே.

  Seems like sarans movie with kamal is dropped http://www.dinakaran.com/cinema/bits/default.asp Actually Saran had given 2 Crores advance and made an agreement that he would give Aandavar part of the salary in the form of rights for AP, Satellite and FMS(Overseas) but since he was being threatened and pressurized by a Madurai Katta Panchayathu financier (incidentally, to whom GV owed money before he died) to repay the money Saran had taken for Muni. At that time, Ayngaran had helped Saran and hence the Kamal film rights were given to Ayngaran and of course, Aandavar was kept in the dark about all this. Hence, to avoid another "VV", this project has been dropped.

  
  
  There is every chance that Ayngaran may not honour Saran's promise/deal to Kamal about the AP,FMS rights etc. Since Saran was in a resource shortage, he came up with this rights as part of salary (For Dasavatharam, Kamal's salary is 8-9 crore). There are also other implications which will make another VV scenario quite likely

  Sad but true - It will be P.Vasu, but the producer is Ramesh Babu (Pokkiri's producer).
  
  P.Vasu has been pestering Kamal for a while now and he has relented
  
  A year back, Vasu had a story titled "Valadhu Kai" for Thalaivar - a triple role subject. However, Kamal said "idhu pannina 13 role aidum, vera edhavadhu pannalaam". So Vasu will work with a new script. This will be the usual 'relaxed' films Kamal does after a heavy-wight one but the choice of P.Vasu baffles me and all fans alike
  
  Pin Kurippu: Kodumai enna na, on recommending Selvaraghavan now, this matter came to light - it is learnt that SR had narrated some story(ies) to Kamal and the latter was not 100% satisfied it seems!!!
  Not satisfied na seri, adhukkunu P.Vasu va??
  The idea is to act in a movie which will be made quickly (probably one reason why he didn't chose Selva or Bala).

  Kali Muthidichu ! . Vasu's last 2 fims ran for their leading Heroes.
  
  Who suggested P.Vasu to Kamal Sir?. Atleast Kamal would have gone with Saran for this film.
  
  Only plus point of vasu is , he can finish the moive in scheduled time. His movies doesn't have any quality. I also heard that the movie would be like another Pasa Malar.

  I hope this news is wrong. CM is a crapfest without Rajini and Vadiveloo. If his film works, it is because of the stars. I liked Malabar Police, but that is because of Sathyaraj and Goundamani.

  I have not seen Perarasu's work. But as much as I've criticised Vasu's work...he has done some entertaining stuff...like Nadigan. Some part of Mannan is good, even though the film should have been boycotted by feminists (as in Padaiyappa).
  
  But those are for Rajini and Sathyaraj. Kamal is a no no.
  
  I don't know how crappy Perarasu is...but I believe Vasu can stake claim to a little bit more quality.

  If you compare the portfolio of Vasu against that of Perarasu, obviously Vasu is much better.
  (Rajini-KoundaMani scenes we cool in Mannan)
  What I wanted to say is that there shall be a complete mismatch with Vasu-Kamal combo.
  I have seen only one and half movies of Perarasu - the 1st one I watched just for Vijay !!
  
  We, Kamal fans, discuss about movies with young breed of directors and he goes back to Vasu !!

  Exactly that movie made a profit to Producer because of Ajith and his opening power. Otherwise it would have been a disaster.This movie made us to feel that as if it came in late 80's and begining of 90's.

  Yes. Very true. Not because it's totally impossible but because Vasu's movies have cheesy relations. He can't handle the subtle emotions in a brother-sister relationship. So many movies from TR, KSR to Bhagyaraj has touched upon this relationship. They are proven damp squibs.
  
  And finally, there is no actress right now, who could hold a flame to Saavithri. Aandavar can play Sivaji though

  Vasu's comedy is more slapstick and silly. With good actors, they come across good. Rajini and Sathyaraj can handle low-brow comedy well and make it work.
  They usually get away, especially with Rajini, with body language and facial expressions...since the dialogues are usually lousy.
  
  
  But that is not Kamal's forte. His gift for dialogue delivery, timing requires good lines and of course, Crazy Mohan is perfect. (Note that Crazy's lines did not work with Rajini in Arunachalam).

  Anbe Sivam was penned by Kamal. PV may not be interested in this.
  
  But there are many movies where PV was good in parts. And some movies like Vaelai kidaichiruchu, Nadigan, Valter vetrivel he was good as a whole too.
  
  Leaving the stupid sentiments he handles in his movies he is not bad.
  
  With Kamal in mind he wont be thinking about flying scenes for sure.
  
  He few times mentioned in interviews that his ambition is to direct Kamal. Who knows he may something in store for Kamal.

  What about Radha Mohan, the Mozhi\Ahagina theeye \ Ponniyin Selvan Director?? I feel he is an apt choice, we can see kamal as kamal, natural story, mostly abt human relationships, light but meaningful decent comedy[good change from crazy mohan to radha mohan], no getup\makeup\buildup. Only Thumbs Up!

  
  quoting this again, i would say a flop with Radhamohan is more great than a Superhit Crap with PeelaaBasu

  I saw the program with Radha Mohan and Prasanna. Both said that Kamal is there favourite actor. Gouthami asked Prasanna the reason . then he said - chinna vayasula irunthu avar padangaLa pArthu vaLarnthirukkEn, athuthaan. He also spoke nice about Prakash Raj mostly for his off screen values.

  Ther was an actor Rajkumar who resembled Kamal. He acted in Kadal Parisu with Kamal.
  Getting confused between a star and a less popular actor is not a sin !!
  IMHO, we need not feel bad about it or take it as an insult !!

  Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam has been drawing a lot of curiosity not just among film-buffs but among the industry men too. Directed by K S Ravikumar, the movie features Kamal Haasan in ten different make-ups.
  
  Rajinikanth, who was shooting for Sivaji at AVM Studios last month, went to the sets of Dasavatharam and made anxious enquiries about the movie.
  
  Now it is the turn of Vijay.
  
  The sought-after star of commercial cinema, Vijay visited the sets of Dasavatharam recently and called on Kamal Haasan. He made queries about the different roles being performed by Kamal Haasan.
  
  Busy with the Azhagiya Tamil Magan, Vijay was reportedly Awe-struck with Kamal Haasan's dedication and patience at the sets.

  CHENNAI: It was an evening of comedy and music. Actor Madan Bob, who started as a music director but later evolved into an actor, took centre stage, conducting his own musical night `Madan Utsav' on Sunday.
  
  He roped in a few participants of `Asathapovathu Yaru', a programme on Sun TV with high TRP ratings. He launched the evening with recent numbers and followed it up with (g)olden melodies. The music was interspersed with humour.
  
  The guests of honour were actor Kamal Haasan and director K.S. Ravikumar. Mr. Haasan commended Madan Bob's musical talent.
  
  "I have come here not only to praise him but also his whole family for their work on the stage. They are a musical family."
  
  Bob's wife Suseela, son Archith and daughter Jey are all singers.
  
  Director K.S. Ravikumar said he was floored when music director A.R. Rahman revealed that Madan Bob was his guru. Music director Iman and Aircel CEO Bhaskar were present.

  Kamal-Ameer have interesting meeting
  - 16.05.2007
  It is very rare to get praise from Kamal and this has happened in the case of Ameer.
  
  
  
  After seeing 'Paruthiveeran,' Kamal invited Ameer to his office and conveyed his appreciation. This news has earlier appeared in the media. Now, Ameer has revealed what happened during that interesting meeting.
  
  
  He praised Ameer Along with the praise, he added that Ameer should not rest on his laurels, as he still had a long way to go.
  
  
  Kamal advised Ameer go abroad and learn more about cinema. A good advice but Ameer is not very conversant with the English language. Without any further ado, he told Ameer, "Go to Russia then. Nobody knows English there!"
  
  
  This answer pleased Ameer immensely. "I like his attitude that one should never cast aside something by just saying I don't know."
  
  
  People say this meeting between Kamal and Ameer could be the foundation for a film on which they could be working together. If that comes true, one can look forward to a good Tamil film!

  What abt bob:
  Bill Murray’s (kamal) character….a multiphobic psychiatric patient
  He follows psychiatrist Doctor (jayaram) who goes on vacation
  Dr's family (devayani and kids) is happy to have him with them except the Dr
  Dr has an interview for a popular TV program (raj tv) and the Dr doesn’t want Bill with him
  But he ends up staying since the organizers of the show think that it will be good to have a patient along with the doctor
  Bill outshines the Dr in that show
  A little romance between the Dr’s sis (jothika) and Bill
  Dr tries all means to get rid of Bill and finally he tries to kill him with a dynamite too
  He returns home and places the dynamite in his home thinking that its dummy one used by the Dr to treat his phobia

  Actually Kamal being a HC fan of IR is not a surprise .IR travelled almost together with kamal for entire carrier ..Unlike many other actors ,kamal invloved in song composition even though he is not a director .
  
  Once kamal explained the composition of 'KanMani anbodu' from Guna ..He explained IR what he expected ,meas he wanted the song to be unusual ,starts as a casual conversation and ends with a melody ..within a short period IR read the mind of kamal and gave a extrodinary composition ,which made kamal wonder how genious his guy is ..He said it is what exactly he wanted and IR gave it even even before kamal expressed all in his mind ..These kind of incidents made kamal to come to the conclusion IR is someone extrodinary.

  To add to Joe's post, there was a program in Jaya TV called "Kalakkaporadhu Kamal" - will post the links to the audio files/transcripts later.
  
  In that he talks about Raaja and the story of origin of a few songs:
  pArtha vizhi (Guna) - This song is the only song i think in TFM in the Raaga pavani. Kamal wanted a "pulambal" kind of song like "Ka va vaa... kanda vaa vaa..". Ir came up with this brilliant song and none other than Das annan could have rendered it
  
  inji iduppazhagi: Kamal referred to a Hindi song "Deewana hai dil" or something, with a Pallavi which repeats the words in different combinations. And Kamal said of this song "avalavu dhaan. indha madhiri venum nu ketta odane Raaja oru paattu kuduppaaru. aana adhe madhiri irukkadhu, naama ketta madhiri vera paattu kuduppaaru. avaru first indha tune a pottaru.. oru rendu vari... marakka manam kooduthillaye nu mudichaaru...naan sollitten indha paattu dhaan venum , idhu ennudhu nu"
  
  ninaivO oru paravai: In a Filmfare Award function in Bombay, Kamal performed a short impromptu English number (forgot the song/artist. Its listed in inetk Karthik's site). Raaja used that humming part "paa pa paba paapa" in this song in Sigappu Rojakkal
  
  Another highlight of that program was Kamal and his carnatic music guru Dr.Balamuralikrishna talking about each other

  The keyword here is 'credit'. There is nobody more perfect than Kamal who can do justice to Hollywood remake. As Lavanya put it, he can comfortably outshine everyone else, and make the role his own, adding additional layer. Just wish that whoever producing those films had credited the original source. So, that those who don't know will not think that whoever wrote the story and screenplay did it himself or herself or itself.

  Almost everyone in kollywood copied (Worst case rip-offs), adapted or sometimes inspired by other movies from different industries.
  
  Even if they buy remakes of other regional or hindi movies..the original movies (hindi or telugu) are themselves ripped off from somewhere - mostly hollywood. So, none of the films come with novelty. Improvising them properly deserves an applause.
  
  Ivalo yaen - Great filmmakers like kubrick adapts from different books (and those books are written with some inspiration from somewhere)..it goes on and on - So, fight club-la vara dialogue:
  
  "Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy" thaan nyabagam varudu !
  
  Talk about the 'final output'.
  
  And BTW, let's not belittle original efforts - they deserve an applause for their new ideas (Aana even that would have been some form of inspiration).

  Both are great in their own way. It took long for Hollywood to recognise Murray and we recognised our Kamal's talent long time ago. That's the pro and con of us Tamizh movie fans. We quickly accept talents, and if they show something great we cling on to them. There are some right decisions, like being fiercly loyal to Kamal and Rajini. Alas, there has also been some unwanted loyalty....(Perai sollavaaa...athu nyayam agumaaa)

  Bollywood shocked at Raaz's detention in Dubai
  
  Film industry insiders are shocked at reports that Vijay Raaz has been detained in Dubai for reportedly carrying marijuana and say they never associated him with drugs.
  
  Many are worried about how Raaz - who rose to reasonable fame with Ram Gopal Varma's 'Jungle' and then became famous as the wedding contractor in Mira Nair's 'Monsoon Wedding'- will find a way out of the problem.
  
  He was detained on Sunday when he landed in Dubai to act in a Vikram Bhatt film. Says close friend and associate Saurabh Shukla who directed Raaz in 'Mudda': "I can't believe Vijay has been accused of such a thing. His wife must be devastated. His career had begun to look up. They recently bought a house and were so happy together.
  
  "As far as I know he has never consumed any drug of any sort. Just how they found marijuana on his person is a mystery to me.
  
  "Vijay Raaz and I started our acting career in the same theatre group Saakshi in Delhi. He then moved to the National School of Drama (NSD) in Delhi. He's a good actor and a fine human being. I can't believe he's got into such trouble!"
  
  It isn't very clear right now what Raaz, who recently played the lead in Rajat Kapoor's 'Raghu Romeo', intends to do to clear himself.
  
  He seems to be the latest in Bollywood's relationship with hard drugs. The first star who made history by coming out of the drug closet and then coming clean is Sanjay Dutt. He went to a drug rehabilitation centre and started his life and career afresh.
  
  Then there was Fardeen Khan who was detained for allegedly possessing cocaine in 2001.
  
  It isn't known which way Raaz is heading. Kamal Haasan who directed Raaz in his new film 'Mumbai Express' is shocked.
  
  "I can't claim to know Vijay Raaz well. But whatever I know of him during 'Mumbai Express' was extremely positive. He's a good actor and a pleasant person. Not once did I feel he was on any drug. Acting seemed to be his big high. That he should be caught on the wrong foot in a place like Dubai is very unfortunate.
  
  "(But) Whether it's you, me or Vijay Raaz...the law must take its course."

  கமல்ஹாசன் பற்றி சுஜாதா(பழைய பேப்பர்!1976)
  
  கமலஹாசனுடன் கொஞ்சநேரம் பேசிக்கொண்டிருந்ததில் அவருடைய off-screen personality சுவாரஸியமாக வெளிப்பட்டது.இருபத்து மூன்று வயது. ஒரு மலையாளப் படப்பிடிப்பிலிருந்து வந்திருந்தார்.பஞ்சு மிட்டாய் வண்ணத்தில் ஜிப்பா,ஜரிகை வேஷ்டி.
  
  அவர் அறையில் ஆடம்பரங்கள் எதுவும் இல்லை.ஏர்கண்டிஷனிரின் செளகரியத்தைத் தவிர.ஒரே ஒரு படம் இருந்தது.உக்கிரமாக முறைக்கும் ப்ரூஸ்லி. அமெரிக்க சினிமா சரித்திரத்தைப்பற்றியும் Sound in cinema பற்றியும் புத்தகங்கள் தென்பட்டன.படிக்கிறார்.இங்கிலிஷ் பண்பட்டு இருக்கிறது.கணையாளி போன்ற புத்தகங்களையும் புதுக்கவிதைகளையும் ரசிக்கிறார்.தன் தொழிலில் உள்ள சிரிப்பான விஷயங்களை இயல்பாக எடுத்துச்சொல்கிறார்.போலன்ஸ்கி,கோடார்ட் போன்ற ஐரோப்பிய டைரக்டர்களைப் பற்றிஅவருக்கு தெரிந்திருக்கிறது.ஆல்பிரட் ஹிட்ச்காக்கின் Frenzy என்ற படத்தில் ஒரு ஷார்ட்டைப் பற்றி உற்சாகமாக அவருடன் பத்து நிமிடங்கள் அலச முடிகிறது."மலையாளப் படங்கள் இப்போது பரவாயில்லை போலிருக்கிறதே" என்றேன்.அவர் "அதெல்லாம் அந்தக்காலம்,இப்போது மலையாளப் படங்கள் பின்னோக்கிப் போய்க்கொண்டிருக்கின்றன"தன் சட்டையைக் காட்டி "மலையாளப் படம்" என்றார்.
  
  "எனக்கு அழவரவில்லை அழு அழு என்கிறார்கள்.ஒரு சமீபத்திய தமிழ் படத்துக்கு மூன்று பாட்டில் கிளிசரின் ஆயிற்று."

  "டேய் முத்து,மாடசாமி,பிடிடா"என்று கிராமத்தில் குடிசையில் வின்சென்டர் ரைபிள்களை வினியோகிக்கும் கர்ணன் படங்களையும் படுத்துக்கொண்டே படமெடுக்கும் காமிராக்கோணங்களையும்(imagine ஜோதிலட்சுமி)அம்மாக்களையும்,தியாகங்களையும் மிகவும் ரசித்து அவருடன் விமர்சித்துக் கொண்டிருந்ததில் எனக்கு நேரம் போனது தெரியவில்லை.படப்பிடிப்பு காத்திருந்தது.ஆப்பிள் ஜூஸ் கொடுத்து அனுப்பிவிட்டார்.

  However there is one small correction in Sujatha's comment about KH. KH wouldn't have completed his 22'nd birthday by Oct' 76 . Hence 23 is incorrect!
  As a child actor, he started as a "prodigy" and ended up as "genius" right in his early 20's. The roles that KH played (even during his younger days) - Most of the "seasoned" actors couldn't even imagine doing those roles. More importantly KH did those roles with ridiculous ease! A genius to the hilt!

  Thanks Joe. This was from Sujatha's 'kadaisi pakkam', a column in Kanaiyaazhi. Remember reading this article from some crumbling old archives. Kamal was one of the few regular readers of the literary magazine from its inception. In some other interview, Kamal mentioned Sujatha's as one of the people inspired him to keep learning new things: especially, writing for film.

  Hmm.. not exactly. Kamal was interested in acting and took the first efforts to get the chance. Apparently, he was so adamant that one of his relatives took him at night to AVM's house and introduced him to AVM. AVM asked him a few questions and agreed to take him. So, the initiative was from Kamal himself and not from others.. Atleast that's what AVM himself said.

  Quote:

  CHENNAI: In a State where politics and cinema are inseparably intertwined, it is common for film personalities to evince interest in playing a lead role in the world of politics. But they seldom take a chance to get down to the nitty-gritty of business or commerce. However, Kamal Haasan, who made a foray into the celluloid world when he was five seems to be an exception. Presenting the “theme address” on the opening day of a two-day conference on “riding high on the retailing wave,” organised by FICCI Tamil Nadu Council, he proved his ability to go into the nuances of a subject that had already generated enough heat and dust. “Cinema might seem like too distant a cousin to this retailing world but let me assure you we will be rubbing shoulders soon … our industry will also join in riding this wave. It is happening slowly but surely,” he said. Striking a note of optimism, Mr. Kamal Haasan said, “Merchandising offshoots of our films will soon make us partners. I am sure we will be ably assisted by our State Government.” He made it clear that he had some pet ideas about how cinema tickets could be sold. “Right now black marketers abound, nullifying any good the Government wishes to do. I foresee, pragmatically, rather than optimistically, even this will change soon.” “I, as a much younger person, was privy to conversations which ridiculed modernisation in the retail sector. They even made fun of the need to modernise our automobile industry. They said we would become slaves again of the western world. I was swayed but the need for a better living standard gave me the required equipoise. According to me, wanting a better living standard was not greed but a need. So, naturally, the wise business world around me provided for my needs. Above all, I was not feeling guilty about living well.”

  Among difficult roles essayed by other actors in other film industries, which ones do you think would have improved a lot if KH had been doing that role?
  
  Example:
  1. Silsila - Amitabh's role
  2. Million Dollar Baby - Clint Eastwood's role
  3. Angur - Sanjeev Kapoor's double role
  4. Kaakha Kaakha - Surya's role !?
  5. Dalapathy - Mamootty's role
  6. Iruvar - Prakash Raj's role
  7. Kathaanaayagan - Pandiyarajan's role
  8. Devar Magan - Nasser's role, if he didn't play Devar Magan !
  9. MMKR - Iyer paatti. (Avvai?)
  10. Forrest Gump - Tom Hanks' role
  
  
  What do you folks think?

  HI
  Im Satya here a Malaysian would prefer Dasa to provide English subtitles for this movie and be included also in songs,trailer,posters.
  A lot of NON-tamilian can see the movie if subtitles is included n well-informed through the posters n trailers...
  This effort may cater global audience n deaf ppls.
  
  NOW, ITS THE TIME TO GLOBALISE TAMIL CINEMA TO THE WORLD...
  SUBTITLES SURELY CAN HELP THAT.

  Hi Satya, I agree with you on this one. Years ago when Hey Ram was released in Singapore, some of my Chinese friends wanted to watch the Tamil version; but at the cinema, they were told that the film carried no English subtitles and they ended up not watching the movie. I think the Hindi version had Englsih subtitles, but it was showing in some obscure cinema tucked away in a housing estate.
  
  I too think that the reach would be better if Englsih subtitles were added to Tamil movies.

  Vasu to direct Kamal
  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 19, 2007]
  
  
  Kamal Haasan is working hard to get the best result in his Dasavatharam. The movie is first-of-its-kind in the history of world cinema to feature the hero portraying 10 different roles. Dasavatharam is directed by K S Ravikumar and is produced by Oscar Ravichandran.
  
  Reports are abuzz that Kamal Haasan has also made up his mind for his next venture after Dasavatharam.
  
  Unlike Dasavatharam, it would be a commercial entertainer. Buzz is that P Vasu, who churned out Chandramukhi, will wield the megaphone for the Kamal Haasan starrer. T G Thyagarajan of Sathyajothy Films will produce the film. Kamal Haasan's Moonram Pirai was produced by Thyagarajan.
  
  The rest of the star cast or the storyline has not been finalized yet. Kamal Haasan opted out of director Saran's home production.

  Quote:

  Kamal Haasan is working hard to get the best result in his Dasavatharam. The movie is first-of-its-kind in the history of world cinema to feature the hero portraying 10 different roles. Dasavatharam is directed by K S Ravikumar and is produced by Oscar Ravichandran. Reports are abuzz that Kamal Haasan has also made up his mind for his next venture after Dasavatharam. Unlike Dasavatharam, it would be a commercial entertainer. Buzz is that P Vasu, who churned out Chandramukhi, will wield the megaphone for the Kamal Haasan starrer. T G Thyagarajan of Sathyajothy Films will produce the film. Kamal Haasan's Moonram Pirai was produced by Thyagarajan. The rest of the star cast or the storyline has not been finalized yet. Kamal Haasan opted out of director Saran's home production.

  He is the one with specs&a little bald head who gets killed towards the end in the theatre(his wife would have got him food).Remember ,Kamal will fire two shots&each time the 'toi' 'toi'music from a comedy scene from an old Tamil film running on the screen will form the background score.

  கமலின் புதிய படம்
  
  பெரிய படங்களில் நடித்த பிறகு ரிலாக்ஸாக ஒரு காமெடி கமர்ஷியலில் நடிப்பது கமலின் பாலிஸி. 'தசாவதாரம்' மிகப் பெரிய படம். அதன் பிறகு?
  
  இந்த கேள்விக்குறிக்கு பதில் சொல்லும் விதமாக இருந்தார் கமலை வைத்து 'வசூல்ராஜா எம்.பி.பி.எஸ்.' படத்தை இயக்கிய சரண். இவர் தயாரித்து இயக்கும் படத்தில் கமல் நடிப்பதாக இருந்தது. 'வட்டாரம்' தோல்வி மற்றும் கமல் படத்துக்கு அவரை கேட்காமல் வேறு தயாரிப்பாளரை தேடியது போன்ற காரணங்களால் சரண் படத்திலிருந்து விலகிக் கொண்டார் கமல். இந்த விலகலை அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக கமலின் சகோதரர் வெளியிட்டார்.
  
  இப்போது மீண்டும் அதே கேள்வி, 'தசாவதாரம்' படத்திற்குப் பிறகு?
  
  அனேகமாக பி.வாசு இயக்கத்தில் கமல் நடிக்கலாம் என்கிறார்கள். கமலும் பி.வாசுவும் நண்பர்களாக இருந்தும் இருவரும் இதுவரை இணைந்து பணியாற்றியதில்லை. பி.வாசு இயக்கத்தில் கமல் நடிக்க பலமுறை பேச்சுவார்த்தை நடந்தும் கடைசி நிமிடத்தில் அவை ஆவியானதுதான் மிச்சம். இந்தமுறை பழைய தவறு நடக்காது என்கின்றனர்.
  
  கமல், பி.வாசு இணையும் படத்தை சத்யஜோதி பிலிம்ஸ் தயாரிக்கும் எனக் கூறப்படுகிறது. சத்யஜோதி பிலிம்சில் கமல் கடைசியாக நடித்த படம் 'மூன்றாம் பிறை.' கமலுக்கு தேசிய விருது பெற்றுத் தந்த படம். இருபது வருடங்களுக்குப் பிறகு கமல் சத்யஜோதி பிலிம்ஸ் இணைவதால், பட அறிவிப்புக்கு முன்பே இன்டஸ்ட்ரியில் எதிர்பார்ப்பு இருக்கு!

  All that quality and intelligence didnt pay off in MX and Alavanthan. That is the risk of being different. When it clicks, it is outright fantastic: Anbe Sivam, Virumandi, MMKR and many more.
  
  And when it fails, it is quite colossal and leaves everyone wondering what the heck were they smoking when they made these films.
  
  Hopefully 10A is of the first kind.
  
  On another topic, If there is enough material from Marudhanayagam, it will be even nice to insert some of those, if appropriate, into whichever movie Kamal is doing. Or, at least, release it as bonus material with some of the DVDs (say, of Dasa)...

  Of versatility that’s timeless
  
  
  
  Doyens decorated the dais at Kamaraj Hall on the evening of Sunday last. The occasion — a celebration in honour of the inimitable comedian, hero and character actor, Nagesh! With M.S.Viswanathan helming the proceedings, the event was graced by Kamal Haasan, Cho, lyricist Vaali, P.B.Sreenivos, directors ‘Chitralaya’ Gopu, K. Balachander, Mrs. YGP, C.V.Rajendran and Vasanth — all ardent fans of the actor whose versatility transcends time! The light music troupe, Ganesh Kripa, presented a host of rare melodies filmed on Nagesh, on the occasion organised by Abbas/Sri Guru Kripa. ARS, the emcee, in typical style recalled interesting details about Nagesh in his prime.
  
  It was a mutual admiration society of sorts on stage, because each was an achiever in his own right. While everyone extolled the potential of Nagesh, he on his part revealed his fascination for Kamal Haasan’s multi-faceted cinema skills. “I can never forget K. Balaji who fed me for three years and did his utmost to get me a break,” he began. ‘Chitralaya’ Gopu recalled the skinny young man, who had accompanied actor Balaji to meet director Sridhar. Soon ‘Nenjil Or Aalayam’ happened. “‘All that’s fine. But why am I not able to go beyond the Rs. 501 advance? Like the 501 detergent soap bar, I’m stuck with the number,’ he would tell me. I’d reply that his time would come. It did and how!” Gopu remarked. Because, as Vaali pointed out, there came a time when Nagesh was working round-the-clock and even MGR and Sivaji Ganesan had to wait for his dates, as distributors insisted that Nagesh was an indispensable value-addition to the projects. “The only picture you can find in Kamal’s room is that of himself with Nagesh. He reveres him so,” Vaali, who had shared a room with Nagesh in their struggling days, observed.
  Witty responses
  
  “True,” said Kamal. “I watch his films seriously. I’m so much in awe that I forget to laugh. Such is my admiration. It’s not jealousy — only complete surrender to this great talent. ‘Crazy’ Mohan, a few other friends and I celebrate Nagesh almost every day at my office. In fact we go on about ‘Chitralaya’ Gopu’s sense of humour too. Hindi film actor Mehmood once told me, he considers Nagesh his guru, whereas Amitabh gave Mehmood a similar status. So you see where the root actually is?” he smiled.
  
  “Nagesh stands as a lucid example of the fact that those who follow my advice can never make a mark in life,” were Cho’s characteristic words. “When he wanted to quit his job in the Railways and strive to get into cinema full time, I told him it was a risky move. But how judicious it turned out to be!”
  
  You may cry yourself hoarse, but greatness in this part of the country continues to remain mostly unrecognised. That the Padma Sri eludes extraordinary talents such as Nagesh, is a gross omission. But none who can redress matters seems to be concerned. Balachander, who helped Nagesh traverse histrionic domains far beyond the comedy roles he played, said the wrong should be righted. Yet why give it so much importance? The man has carved a formidable niche for himself as one who has regaled filmgoers with his perfect sense of timing in dialogue, and his superb portrayal of a wide spectrum of characters. The huge gathering at the hall exemplified it enough. Now the thespian has reached a stage where laurels from quarters without are absolutely immaterial!
  
  “This will be an unforgettable day in my life,” concluded a moved Nagesh. The evening will remain evergreen in our minds too!

  VAALI ON KAMAL (In Hindu)
  
  At a function recently, when Vaali so much as mentioned "Dasavathaaram" and said he had penned some of the lyrics, the gathering went delirious with enthusiasm. "If even the name of the film can make you so joyous, how much more excited you will all be when the film actually releases" asked Vaali and the crowd went berserk with happiness once again. "Sivaji Ganesan himself told me that only Kamal could fill his place," Vaali went on. ''He is an atheist but a well-informed one, as I realised during the "Dasavathaaram" discussion. He knew more about "Visishtadwaitam" that Sujatha or I did." Kamal's only reaction was a genial smile.

  I hope they do different in worldwide release(USA) for this movie. Give it to some american distributor and release it in some good first quality theatres (not the junk ones where sivaji is running) where you can attract global audience. Lot of americans (claimed they were fans ) were seen for VV, so if they market well it can reach many more people in US. Hope this movie will be the REAL trendsetter for the Tamil movies worlwide and prove its class!!!

  I was surprised and happy to hear that. Like that there are many fans in US but i dunno why they are not making news in India (when i can see lot abt Rajini even if its single line). Maybe its because most of Kamal fans maybe silent fans (class) and just appreciate without talking much......

  Quote:

  As fans get nasty online after Sivaji is out, the two stars in question seem to be subtly suggesting to their admirers to take it easy. These photos were clicked at the audio launch of Thottaal Poo Malarum. Readers would recollect that Kamal and Rajni appeared together during the launch function of the same movie.

  Himesh Reshammiya recently spoke to Hindustan Times, about Dasavatharam and Kamal among other things. Here’s what he had to say: Kamalji is such a legend. He is the only reason why I have chosen to go southwards at a time when I have so much on my plate in Bollywood. A film featuring Kamal Haasan can’t be dubbed a regional film

  Nerd and Cinefan, in all probability Kamal must have chosen to attend the function due to his proximity to Shivaji's family and Rajinikanth. But I really don't understand why he is happy about movies like Chandramukhi succeeding.
  "இது, நிஜமாகவே ஒரு சரித்திர விழா. ரஜினிக்கு இன்னும் இதுமாதிரி வெற்றிகள் வரும். நடுவில், இது போதும். இதோடு நிறுத்திக்கொள்ளலாம் என்று அவர் சொல்வார். நான் கூடாது என்பேன். ரஜினி, சினிமாவை விட்டு போகக்கூடாது. அவர் சினிமாவில் இன்னும் ரொம்ப நாட்கள் இருக்க வேண்டும்."
  Is it because he had to speak a few words of praise about the movie and Rajini's choice of storylines?

  Don't know about others. But, I think Kamal 'the friend' has spoken. I'm sure, a guy with (half-decent) knowledge and semblance of watching 'decent' movies wouldn't even speak about the film's quality. He hasn't said about the 'quality', thankfully. And he just spoke as a friend and well-wisher, supporting rajini's success,etc.
  
  And, like Devar magan, I'm sad that he actually went to the function. I'm disappointed that Kamal went!
  
  Please don't add insult to injury by asking why! If you want to know, please PM!!!
