  Aana, interestingly, the essence of what he said defines a *typical* fan of Thalaivar (i mean the old-timers, namakku/engalukku oru 'set' munnadi). For them, more than anything else Kamal Haasan = the 80s step/disco cut, dance and the dude.

  
  
  What he says about Sivaji is fated to happen about some Kamal's 'cool' performances.For instance, Vikram will age quicker than Nizhal nijamAgiradhu.
  
  So the idea of going back to 'cool' doesn't interest me. It has to be his own type of characterization redefined in its enduring manner. OTOH who the deuce is going to write his kind of movies.
  
  Just look at the "keNaththukkuLLa" line/sequence you just quoted. There isn't a single movie since VirumANdi which is as deep - ok yeah I said the word - deep.And virumANdi was successful - so I don't see what is stopping him.
  
  Regarding the Amitabh Bachchan comparison, I think the parallel is more relevant to Rajini. Just imagine him doing that kind of variety.
  
  And this pipe dream of mine is several years old: Rajini in a Kamalwritten film.

  that will be great.. esp with "Thevar makan" kind of script...will be better if Kamal also acts in that.. wud love to see both of them on screen together.. but i suspect that will ever happen

  Yes. I think the 'tribute' is just a half-hearted attempt. Even as a fanboy thing it isn't passionate or convincing

  Unnaipol Oruvan audio on August 31
  
  Kamal Hassan’s Rajkamal International and UTV’s Unnaipol Oruvan, a Tamil remake of the path breaking Hindi A Wednesday will have its audio launch on August 31 in Chennai.
  
  The Chakri Toleti directed film has lyrics written by Kamal, Blazee and Manushiaputran and tuned by his daughter Sruthi Hassan. Though the film will not have any songs, the album will have a few songs including the title track.
  
  The film will have a unique audio launch without any speeches and will be held in a popular five-star in Chennai. As the press statement issued by Rajkamal clearly says –“it will be a unique function, totally different from the normal audio launches”.
  
  Unnaipol Oruvan, features Kamal Hassan, Mohanlal, Lakshmi, Anuja Iyer, Poonam, Sriman, Prem Kumar and Ganesh Venkatram.

  PR and Bala,
  I was taken aback when I read BR's piece yesterday.As mentioned,some of his "cool'performances will be ripped apart in the years to come.
  
  I certainly don't want him going back doing 'Cool'roles and is he not enjoying the process still?When was the last time he gave a detached,bored,laboured performance.
  
  As a self confessed 'fan boy' piece,it didn't appeal to me at all though I found it interesting for the thoughts put forward.
  
  It would have been more convincing if he had made a case for retiring Kamal,the actor for Kamal,writer and director.
  
  BTW,I would relish Rajni doing a Kamal written and directed film and no,he should not show his face on screen.
  
  Nadakkuma???

  Anna Vetticad is the aasthaana film "critic"(!) of Headlines Today.
  Dasavatharam release-eve annikki vetti pechu programme nadandhuchu. She said all these in that show.
  Saaraamsam of her sorpozhivu:
  1. Kamal has stopped acting since Pushpak
  2. Makeup pottavanellam >= Kamal Haasan
  3. A role without makeup is always > role with makeup
  4. Kamal is a narcissist and he is in cinema to showcase his talents. Others are in cinema for samooga sevai or to take revenge for their mothers' death.
  5. Vikram's acting in Anniyan > What Kamal has been doing since Pushpak (or something like that)
  Incidentally, she interviewed Thalaivar before the Hindi release of 10A. Appo kooda bayangara nakkal-a kelvi kettuchu, adha purinjukkama, andha ammani background theriyama Thalaivar serious a badhil vera sollitrundhaaru.

  CR,
  First when I read, i thought u r referring some critic from blog world etc.. But News channel Cinema crictic
  whatever the program I have seen, Kamal is always praised for his acting skills. not a single program I have ever seen somebody saying Kamal is not acting well..
  iva pesurathu araivekkatuthanama irukku....It is surpring and more than that it is shocking.

  One point I could totally agree with BRangan was his not-accepting a reader's comment praising 'kAdhal parisu' - a horror of a movie.
  
  Also his comments on vikram - quite appropriate. Also I don't think he's wrong in writing that Kamal did roles like SRojakkal / Tik^3 etc without the "effort /strain-showing-on-screen". No doubt KH "enjoyed his work immensely" those days (as he himself claimed while shooting 'nilA kAyudhu' song )...
  
  However glorifying the likes of TThambiT is totally unacceptable (and I'm from "that same settu" of old-timers that CR referred but hated such movies even when they came).
  
  Good that Kamal came out of that phase (possibly from nAyakan).
  
  However, I think he still has that hangover that "I should do something to show off as macho" (I read somewhere that he is driving a Hummer - equivalent of a tAtA lorry going by the opinion of Detroit girls - may be to show off that "Real men drive only buses and lorries, only sissies drive bikes and cars").
  
  

• From: irir123 on Mon Aug 24 11:13:59 2009.

  the coolest Kamal for me is the Dileep from Tik Tik Tik! that film had everything, urbane, hip, sophisticated enough, rousing score, competent editing and a classic finish with those dogs chasing the pair of Kamal and Madhavi - it was like watching a well-made Indianised version of an Alistair Maclean/Desmond Bagley or even better, a Lawrence Sanders novel! "Girls, diamonds and bloody fun"!!

  255+ movies over. most no of story\screenplay\plot variants given by single hero. is there anyone single hubber here who had seen and also absorbed (Ulvaanguthal) all his tamil movies?!? he is the best person than anybody to decide what to do next. (and that had to be new, out of his 200+ and also no resemblance to other movies. ithai vida periya challenge vera enna)
  
  so ppl who want him to repeat any f his past, has to
  1) go and see the same old movie which they wished to repeat
  2) go meet Sir with atleast 50Cr, and put forth his wish
  3) go to sleep dreaming kamalji with ur new story

  Well, I was stunned by the way they've shown horses in one scene. Also the songs were excellent (vAnam keezhE vandhAlenna, wow). IMO, no "specials" from KH (I would say it was worse than SKV, I actually liked the kudumi vElan -"இப்போ குளுரு வுட்டுப்போச்சு")

Kamal is a narcissist and he is in cinema to showcase his talents. Others are in cinema for samooga sevai or to take revenge for their mothers' death. 5.

  Why nobody has posted Chakri's TOI interview?
  
  

• From: ajaybaskar on Tue Aug 25 4:35:31 2009.

  Director Chakravarthy gets candid with Chennai Times about Unnaipol Oruvan...
  MANIGANDAN K R Times News Network
  
  If tact is what it takes to be a winner, then Chakravarthy aka Chakri Toleti is definitely one. The unassuming director of Padmashri Kamal Haasan’s next film, Unnaipol Oruvan, pays attention to almost everything that he concentrates on, including the words he uses to express himself.
  
  He starts off with some great news for fans of the ace star. “We are hoping to release Unnaipol Oruvansometime in September, while the audio of the movie is to be launched on August 31,” he says.
  
  There were rumours that the movie was originally titled Thalaivan Irukiran and that it was later changed to Un - naipol Oruvan. Ask him why and he replies, “We didn’t confirm the title per se. True, Thalaivan Irukiranwas one of the options. However, several options were considered and we decided that Unnaipol Oruvanwas a good one.”
  
  The movie marks a series of firsts. It has brought two greats — Kamal Haasan and Mohan Lal — together for the first time and it is through this movie, that Shruti Haasan too makes her debut as a music director.
  
  Says Chakri, “It’s been a great experience working with both Kamal sir and Mohan Lal sir. When you are working in such an environment, it’s always a great experience. As for the music, Shruti has composed some excellent songs. She is good, has perspective and has produced something new that suits the tone of the film.”
  
  It’s not for the first time that Chakri is working with Kamal Haasan. Chakri played a young photographer in Salan - gai Oli,a classic that had Kamal playing the lead role. So, has there been a change in his working style now?
  
  Laughs Chakri. “I hardly remember anything of that project. It was more a fun thing to do then. Now, behind the camera, there’s a lot more responsibility and yes, there’s fun here too.”
  
  Unnaipol Oruvanhas been generating interest, right from the minute the project was announced. Partly because it has Kamal Haasan in it and also because it is a remake of A Wednesday.Ask him how it all started and he says, “Though I left for the US (where he has been staying for the last 15 years), I have been in touch with Kamal sir and have been working with him on several projects. In Orlando, I was helping him with the Dasavatharam project. He always knew my passion was to direct a film some day. And things started happening when we were discussing the script of A Wednesday.I liked the script and I was discussing it with Kamalji, when he told me that this would be a good story to tell in the south as well.”
  
  
  But, have there been modifications to the story to suit the southern audiences?
  
  
  “Yes,” he says and adds, “Though being true to the core, certain nuances and changes have been made to give a local flavour to the film. The core, however, is a universal message.”
  
  
  It is evident that the director is impressed with the ace actor’s performance in the film and signs off saying, “Frankly, I consider Kamal sir to be the best actor that India can offer to the world.”
  
  STRUCTURE IT!
  
  Chakravarthy, who has acted in 15-20 films and has studied at a film school in Florida, feels that the difference between the Tamil film industry and Hollywood lies in structure. He explains, “Even though movie making is a creative process, there needs to be a certain level of management. We lack that, but the scenario’s changing. Certain processes during preproduction, production and post-production need to be followed as they will help narrate a story better. I see the change already happening.”

  CHENNAI: Sporting the ‘Hey Ram’ look with beard and long hair, actor Kamal Haasan sits casually attired in a black shirt and white dhoti. In another picture, he sits with composer Illayaraja and actor Rajinikanth. And in another lovely moment captured, he, as a little boy, is seen playing with actor Shivaji Ganesan. All these rare photographs have been put up inside the ‘Kamal Express,’ which was flagged off at the AVM Studios here on Monday. The special bus is part of the programmes and initiatives that Vijay TV has come up with to mark the actor’s completion of 50 years in the film industry. Two buses, with such photographs on display and a documentary on the actor playing, will travel across the State, and tour places such as Chengalpattu, Tindivanam, Puducherry, Cuddalore, Tuticorin, Krishnagiri, Namakkal and Salem. Organisers said that the buses would halt for about an hour at each of these places, and fans of the actor could get in, see the photographs of their favourite actor. Apart from this, the organisers will also collect signatures from fans, artists and technicians on a big scroll that will later be presented to the actor. Flagging off the bus, film producer AVM Saravanan said that Kamal Haasan, who began his career at the very same studio, brought pride to the State. President of the Tamil Film Producers’ Council Rama Narayanan and president of the Film Employees’ Federation of South India V. C. Guganathan commended the actor on his achievement. Representing Mr. Haasan’s family, Akshara Haasan and Subbulakshmi also participated in the event. They said they were proud of him and congratulated him.

  Unnaipol Oruvan’ songs the new buzz in Kollywood
  
  CHENNAI: Even as the preparations are on for the audio launch of ‘Unnaipol Oruvan,’ the eagerly awaited Kamal Haasan-Mohanlal starrer, news about the music of the film is doing the rounds.
  
  That the actor’s daughter Sruthi Haasan has scored music for this film, which is a remake of ‘A Wednesday’, is known. But, that the music director got her dad to sing for her and sister Akshara to choreograph a number is the latest buzz.
  
  Sruthi has sung one song along with singer Blaaze, which begins with the line ‘Vaanam ellai enbadu indrillai…’. This is one of the songs that Kamal has written for the film. Other lyricists of the film are Manushyaputran and Blaaze. Apart from this, Kamal has also sung for the film.
  
  The song by Kamal is said to be very poignant and powerful. The actor’s playback singer persona is not new to the audience here. For fans of Tamil music, the actor’s ‘Sundari neeyum’ in ‘Michael Madana Kama Rajan’ or ‘Onnavida…’ in ‘Virumandi,’ are very likely to be on their favourites’ list.
  
  Though the actor has sung for top music directors, including Illayaraja and A.R.Rahman, singing for this film ought to have been rather special, for it was his daughter giving him the “take” command.
  
  Earlier this month, when the actor participated in an event to felicitate music composer M.S.Viswanathan, he said that his daughter had taken the blessings of the veteran composer before her debut as music director. “It is because of MSV sir’s music that youngsters are inspired to take up composing,” the proud father had said.
  
  ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’ has been shot in different locations in Chennai, Puducherry and Hyderabad. With meaty roles for both Kamal and Mohanlal, fans could, perhaps, look forward to an interesting production.

  Unnaipol Oruvan’s release
  
  August 25, 2009
  
  Putting an end to the innumerable speculations, Kamal starrer Unnaipol Oruvan’s release date is finally announced today. As per the official declaration, the movie will be released on September 18, 2009. Earlier, the audio launch was announced, which will be held on August 31, 2009 in Chennai.
  
  Unnaipol Oruvan was said to hit the screens on August 12, 2009 since the date coincides with the release of Kamal’s first movie and his entry into Tamil cinema 50 years ago. However, owing to technical and administrative difficulties, the movie’s release was postponed.

Kamal Haasan happens to be the one and only Indian actor bagging more than 18 Filmfare awards. The greatest legends: Superstar Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan last film together was ‘Ninaithale Inikkum’. Although, Kamal Haasan is an atheist, he has never made any comments on religious affairs. Kamal Haasan had choreographed dance MGR in ‘Naan En Pirandhein’, Sivaji Ganeshan in ‘Savaale Samaali’ and Jayalalitha in ‘Anbu Thangai’. He is the only actor to have acted in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam and Bengali languages. Sri Devi and Sri Priya are the actresses who paired up with him in more films. He is fluent in Tamil, English, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, Kannada and French. When Rajnikanth’s yesteryear classic ‘Mullum Malarum’ had some problem in getting released. Kamal Haasan sorted out the issues and got the film released Recently, Kamal Haasan has purchased more acres of land in outskirts of Chennai where he has planned to build multiplex and amusement park.

Addressing a press conference organised by Vijay TV, actor Sharath Kumar said he will be presenting a memorandum to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi to rename Eldams Road as Dr Kamal Hassan road. “Renaming the road on which Kamal sir has been living for years would be an apt way of celebrating this great actor, who has completed 50 years in the Tamil film industry,” Kumar said.

  Kamal admires Shobana
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, August 27, 2009]
  
  Kamal Haasan, who is currently busy with his forthcoming venture ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’, on Wednesday evening hailed his 'Enakkul Oruvan' co-star Shobana at the launch of the DVD of ‘Maya Ravan’, a dance drama by actor-dancer.
  
  Commending Shobana's initiative to conceptualise and choreograph the drama in a way to reach the masses, the Ulaganayagan said, "I am astounded to see her work that has packed in all elements to attract people."
  
  Stating that he was a great fan of Ravana, Kamal hoped that the drama reached greater heights.
  
  Member of Parliament, Kanimozhi, said the representation from Tamil Nadu at National and international cultural events was much less. "Our talents are buried in small regions and it is time we go global," she observed.
  
  Shemaroo Entertainment director Hiren Gada, actor Prabhu and Bharatanatyam dancer Chitra Viswesvaran participated.
  
  The DVD was brought out by Shemaroo Entertainment. The DVDs are available with subtitles in five languages- English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu.

  I’m a limelight moth’
  
  
  
  looking back In a career spanning five decades, Kamal Hassan has constantly reinvented himself, says s.shiva kumar
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A family friend, a doctor, took a four-year-old kid to a party. He was the cynosure with his saucer eyes and ready repartee. A producer who probably didn’t get Daisy Irani’s dates asked him if he’d act. “Sure, but I want a Plymouth,” said the kid. A spanking new Plymouth picked him up the next day but only to take him to the studio. Kamal Hassan was literally taken for a ride, but that was to be his baptism with grease paint in Kalathoor Kanamma, five decades ago. A few films, a National award and the loss of his front teeth later, Kamal spent his growing up years learning Bharatanatyam and karate.
  
  Kamal’s ascent to stardom coincided with the twilight years of the veterans MGR and Sivaji Ganesan. He was like a breath of fresh air. At a time when acting meant exaggeration, Kamal ushered in an era of subtlety. “In the beginning directors sneered, ‘Don’t give us this Malayalam stuff. Give us some real Tamil acting.’ However, when someone gave a decent performance and it was compared to mine I felt proud,” says Kamal.
  
  
  
  
  Poignant tales From 16 Vayadhinile.
  
  Just when people were branding him lover-boy, came 16 Vayadhinile. As the drooling village idiot, Chappani Kamal’s performance was a tour de force. “I like an image simply so that I can break it,” says Kamal. He followed it up as the suave psychopath played to perfection in Sigappu Rojakkal and the buck-toothed imbecile in Kalyana Raman.
  
  It’s only when other actors try to fill his shoes in remakes that you realise his greatness — be it Amol Palekar in Solva Saal, Rajesh Khanna in Red Rose or Dharmendra in Ghazab. The consummate trapeze artiste walking the tightrope between class and crass, Kamal seemed to falter in the late Seventies. Co-incidentally, a bus conductor from Bangalore, Rajnikant, stormed the Tamil screen. Kamal had a string of flops, while Rajnikant ascended the throne. Kamal produced his 100th film, Raja Parvai. The sensitive tale about a blind violinist won critical acclaim, but failed. “My favourite possession is a letter from a fan written in blood after Raja Parvai. It said I was a good actor and ink would not suffice. I wonder if I would do that for anyone,” sighs Kamal.
  
  
  
  
  Moonram Pirai.
  
  If genius can be associated with acting then Kamal is one. It’s not as if he’s incapable of indifferent performances but the great ones outnumber the bad ones. No other Indian actor has audiences waiting with bated breath for the sheer diversity of roles he plays. The delineation of characters when he played two or more roles in a film is fascinating. The hallmark of a great actor is comic timing and Kamal is sheer magic. Even Nagesh agreed.
  
  Applause is an actor’s aphrodisiac and Kamal seeks it unabashedly. ‘I’m a limelight moth,” is his refrain. The only period when creativity was a casualty was his tryst with Hindi cinema. His southern hits were photocopied and the original were banal. Today he’s come a long way. He’s traversed the length and breadth of the country breaking linguistic barriers and leaving audiences incredulous with his inexhaustible repertoire. Unnaipol Oruvan (remake of A Wednesday) is definitely not a film or role that befits his talent but you allow him his indulgences. What’s exciting is that he’s signed Mysskin, the most promising young talent in Tamil cinema to direct him.
  
  
  
  
  Nayagan.
  
  The first five decades have been fascinating. We can’t wait for the second.

  Mysskin, after waiting patiently for months to get his Nandalala released, has now given up on it.
  
  The film has been completed about four months back and is lying in the cans with the producers showing no hurry to release the film!
  
  He has shown the film to quite a few of his friends on DVD including Kamal Hassan, who was “kicked” about the film.
  
  The actor who is committed to good cinema, has been calling up some influential producers and requesting them to take over Nandalala, so that it will see the light of the day.
  
  Meanwhile, Mysskin has decided to move on and forget Nandalala. He is taking break from Chennai, and moving to an undisclosed location to write the final script to his new film with Kamal Hassan.
  
  He has put the “Do not disturb” sign outside his hotel room as he starts preparing the final draft for Kamal’s film which will start in November

  Kamal opts out of Myshkin's film? The proposed film to be directed by Myshkin starring Kamal Haasan in the lead has run into rough weather even before it started. Myshkin had earlier discussed with Kamal in detail about his willingness to remake the Hollywood blockbuster 'Living World' in Tamil. It is also said that Kamal had consented to play the lead role in the film. Myshkin's script is said to have been inundated with 'political overtones' criticizing the modern political trend and this appears to have put Kamal Haasan off. After giving it a deep thought and reportedly discussing the pros and cons of being part of such a 'political' film, especially in the 50th anniversary year of his entry into films, Kamal had reportedly decided to opt out of the project on his own. After Kamal rang up Myshkin to convey his decision of opting out of the project, Myahkin has become very upset. To do a film with Kamal Haasan, Myshkin had earlier refused to do a film with director-actor Cheran. As such, Myshkin seems to have been caught in a not so enviable situation as he now can't hope to get back to either Kamal or Cheran. "It'd be better if you could conceive a story of your own without making a story 'based on' some hit project. If such a script excites me, we would no doubt work together in future" is what Kamal's advice-cum-statement to Myshkin. Following this, Myshkin is said to be burning a lot of midnight oil in putting together an exciting script to thrill 'Ulaganayagan'. So, the much awaited Kamal-Myshkin might still prove to be a reality! Aug 27th, 2009

  REPLYING TO A POST MADE IN THE KAMAL's 50 th YEAR IN CINEMA THREAD:
  
  Bala,
  I left out the negatives of the CNN IBN programme when I messaged you.
  
  As Nerd rightly pointed out,a seperate section for his personal life,not making any mention of most of his memorable/classic films was a def low.
  
  But you can't blame them can you when all they can dedicate is 25 minutes for this man while the rest has to go either chasing a worthless,cheap Jaswant singh and co raking up a decade old decision which saved 166 lives and taking pot shots at the very party and man he was part of till a week back OR going ballistic about H1N1.
  
  When will our media learn to recognise and promote the really deserving instead of highlighting worthless people/things.
  
  Pardon the digression

  Quote:

  Marriage was a compromise: Kamal Haasan Sonia Singh, Monday August 31, 2009, New Delhi Sonia Singh: I am joined by one of India's biggest stars Kamal Haasan, marking his 50 years in the industry. Kamal Hassan, Thank you very much for joining us on Your Call. It's a pleasure to have you with us on the show. Kamal Haasan: My pleasure Sonia Singh: 50 years in the film industry when you are 55. I just want to take you to your first movie. (Clip plays from his movie Kalathur Kannamma). Your dialogue delivery packed quite a punch even at that time. Do you remember that at all? How old were you? Kamal Haasan: I was 3 or 4 when I went into the studio. And the film took a lot of time and there was a change of director as well. So I got to do scenes twice. I think I was in a theme part and this was the boring part. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and don't remember the worst part at all. Sonia Singh: So it was all fun. There was quite a hiatus but after that initial film, at 3-and-a-half or 4, your career took off a little later at 18 and not as a hero. Kamal Haasan: Yes, but in the meanwhile I did 5 or 6 other films. So I was active till about 7, then there was a retirement. Early retirement I should say. Sonia Singh: Right. And we have got a call, our first caller from Delhi. He is Raj Singh from Delhi. Mr. Singh, you can ask your question to Mr. Hassan. Phone caller: Raj Singh: "Sir, my question to you is what inspired you to be a movie director and an actor? Did it come to you naturally, was it really meant to be or do you think it was something that inspired you? And my other question to you is that do you really wish to join politics in future? Kamal Haasan: Oh yes, like every other Indian I am a politician but I am not that good an actor. That is an old line but that is the only true line. About why I became an actor, I really don't know. I didn't plan anything. I sort of just went to the floor. What I enjoyed most was entertaining people, being entertained and probably giving back what I received. When I act, I am giving back to Shivaji Ganesan what I received from him. He may not be around, but it's sort of a continuous circle but not vicious. Sonia Singh: But in Tamil Nadu, especially, it seems like a natural transition that a super star like yourself will take the next step that is politics. Why hasn't it happened with you? You must have something that you are looking ahead to. Kamal Haasan: Well, you can say that there are two ways to explain it. One is that I am not qualified. The second explanation would be probably I am more sensible. Sonia Singh: Well, we have got another caller from Chennai. Let's just go across and have a look. Video caller- Kanimozhi Karunanidhi: In the sixties, we had political ideologies propagated through films. Do you think that kind of a situation will come again? Sonia Singh: You said you are not qualified, but there we have a lady, daughter of M Karunanidhi, a Rajya Sabha MP, asking about the link between Tamil cinema and politics which has been integral. Kamal Haasan: Yes, she is right. And that is why I said that I am political but I am not a politician. I have very strong views. I have a rational approach to life and it is reflected in my films. My politics is probably more subcutis. It is not propagandist. She was right. It's happening more and more in Tamil cinema. My next film in Tamil has a lot of what she is talking about. But it is not propagandist. It doesn't take sides. Sonia Singh: So your films are political but you are not a politician. Let me just go across to somebody who also wants to ask a question, someone who is a political commentator. A well-known film critic Cho Ramaswamy joins us from Chennai. Sonia Singh: Mr. Cho Ramaswamy, Kamal wants to hear your question. Cho Ramaswamy: First congratulations on these 50 wonderful years that you have contributed to Tamil cinema. It's a great thing. I don't think any other actor has played the different kinds of roles which you have. The amazing versatility which simply cannot be matched. Coming to the specific question, you are now saying that you are not qualified to become a politician. Is there any qualification for you to become a politician? That is perhaps one thing in India which doesn't require any qualification. Is it because you have too many qualifications that you are not entering politics? Kamal Haasan: OK, just the moment that I said I am political, there I have Mr. Cho Ramaswamy. I smiled because I am a great fan of his and some of my politics and equipoise that people like me maintain comes from the kind of stand that he boldly took many times. I have seen him since my childhood. I am a fan and he likes people getting into trouble as you saw (laughing). Sonia Singh: So you don't want to answer the question? Kamal Haasan: Absolutely, I am already becoming political. Cho Ramaswamy: Kamal, the way you are answering my question shows that you are completely qualified to become a politician because you have not given me any answer and have talked for five minutes. Kamal Haasan: Let me borrow some boldness from Mr. Cho and say yes, probably I am qualified and that is why I am not qualified. You already gave the answer. Thanks for leaking the question paper. Kamal Haasan: Thank you, thank you, sir. Sonia Singh: You are asked so many times by your fans about joining politics. Other film stars like Rajnikanth have been asked because of the vacuum that is seen in the current politics, Tamil Nadu politics as well. Do you see that? Kamal Haasan: Yes, but I used to be very angry about it and I gave an answer, seems not too inappropriate. I said there was a time when all Indians, most Indians got into politics, unless they were in civil service or working for the British. The rest of them got into politics. There might be a time when everybody will have to get into it, that would be the time when I would also publicly come out and actively be in it. But that time we'll all have guns. I hope it doesn't happen. I hope you don't need me in politics. Because when I do come, it will be because we are very very angry. Sonia Singh: So, the politicians should do their job to avoid Kamal Haasan in politics. But I mentioned Rajnikanth. So that too, of course, from your profession, acting, and it has been a long long time since we saw you and Rajni in a movie together. I just want to play a clip. (A clip of them together in a movie is played out) Sonia Singh: Well, I can't comment on who is the better dancer, but let us know about your relationship with Rajnikanth. It's hard for two superstars to be friends but what is the relationship like between you two? Kamal Haasan: It was not hard at all, I think. I don't know whom to give credit to, but I think it was not hard at all. We still are friends but we are very clear about it. We have drawn our lines and that's not a battleline at all. It's a professional line and it was decided by both of us. We realised that one remuneration was split into two when we acted in films and we both were worthy of a full payment. It was actually a labour struggle. So we decided to go our ways. And that was the only reason, there was no ego problem at all. We have a healthy respect for each other and our tracks run different, different fields actually. We don't even think of each other as competitors but co-travellers with different destinations. Kamal Haasan: I remember that we used to go around not painting the town red but actually went around Singapore and we had early morning calls and our boss was a very strict man and we would be sleepless. And I remember that we used to lean on each other and sleep while the director was not watching. So, that's how we grew up. We were from the same institution, same mentor, yeah. Sonia Singh: Well, we take a quick break now. Of course when we come back, we'll discuss the movie which made Kamal Haasan a national name, and more of this, after a short break. Sonia Singh: Welcome back and you are watching 'Your Call'. The one show on television where you're in the questioner's seat. You can just log onto ndtv.com. You can call on this number on your screen. You can send your question via webcam and ask your question directly to the personality of the week and tonight, of course, is the Indian star Kamal Haasan. And let's go onto our first question coming via webcam from Pune. Let's go on to the question. Web cam question from Gopan Krishnan, Pune: Hi Kamal. Without doubt, I reckon, you will always be in my opinion the most versatile and finest actor , about the greatest in Indian cinema. But do you reckon that your mass appeal country-wide would have been far greater and impactful if you had been more advertised and had better and stronger command of the Hindi language? Sonia Singh: The Hindi language... I just want to look up some clips from that Hindi movie, Ek Duje Ke Liye, because in so many ways you have become known to the Hindi film audience through that. Sonia Singh: This has been talked about not just in regards to you. But there is a feeling that there is a bias in Mumbai that while South Indian heroines have done extremely well and reached Number 1 posts, somehow the same hasn't happened with the South Indian heroes Kamal Haasan: You can't say that because they have not shut me off. The fact is that one has to live there and pursue. It's not that I have had less failures, less obstacles in the industry where I have flourished now. The reason has been that I consistently have been trying. I have had my share of failures too, but you will have to keep trying. I stopped trying when there was a lot of underworld involvement in Bombay. I thought I was safer in Madras. Sonia Singh: Did you feel underworld threats? Kamal Haasan: Before. I am quick on the take when it comes to that, and I was quick on the draw so I withdrew. Sonia Singh: Right! Kamal Haasan: I have the choice. Like 'Hey Ram' was something I did on my terms. They allowed me to do it and then now I've a script ready. So if you are talking about longevity, they have been very kind to me. I have been there from when I was 26-years-old. Sonia Singh: Great! Well, someone, of course, has made a choice in Bollywood. Your daughter Shruti . And well, she has got a surprise question for you. She is online with us right now from Pondicherry. Shruti, thank you so much for joining us and go ahead with your question to your dad. Shruti: Hi Bapu! how are you doing? Kamal Haasan: Hi! Shruti: And because I am your daughter, I can be annoying. I am going to ask you how do you say "Thank God, I am a rationalist." Kamal Haasan: Ya, that's to please you baby, because I've to accept your god as well. Sonia Singh: You haven't made your children rationalists? Kamal Haasan: No, I haven't tried. I wish I had but doesn't matter, now it's too late. Shruti: We all have our own God, that was my question for you, because I heard you say that, "Thank God, I am a rationalist". Kamal Haasan: Well, that's not my line. That's from another great filmmaker who said that. He said, "Thank god! I am an athiest." He is a friend and mentor, Mr. John Clotharia. Sonia Singh: Shruti, Hi this is Sonia from Delhi studio. I just wanted to ask what is it like making a movie with the huge legacy you bear and what did you find most awkward when your Dad was watching your movie? Were you scared that he is going to be your worst critique or biggest fan? Shruti: No, no. I don't think it's about those, really those clichés with us. I know my father loves me and I know that if I am going to slip and fall, you know, sometimes he will probably let me do that and sometimes his hand will be there before I get to the ground and that's really what it is about. I feel that I have a lot to learn from his career and not as his daughter but as an artist. And he has always been there for me and I hope that continues because I have learnt a lot and that's what I intend to do. It's not about being the biggest fan or the biggest critique at all. Sonia Singh: Right, I think that's the nicest thing a daughter can say to her father. Kamal Haasan: (to Shruti) Did you rehearse well? Sonia Singh: She couldn't have because I just asked her that question. No, but I think it's wonderful. Because a daughter can say that to her father, it's a great tribute to how you have brought her up. Kamal Haasan: She has been great and it's not like we are patting each other's back. And she has come up with flying colours taking into consideration that she didn't have a very normal childhood. But I tried my level best and she has got the level. Sonia Singh: You have always lived life on your own terms and you have had a controversial view, not just on religion but marriage as well. Yet, you have been married twice. Kamal Haasan: Yes, I always said, like she said, why you did you say, "Thank god! I am an atheist!" That's because I love people and I do most things to please the people I love, including silly things like marriage. But that's the only way they would have accepted a relationship. That's a compromise. And the reason I am not in politics is because it's an art of compromise. I can compromise, but not that much. But there are compromises. Yes, whenever I married, it was for a compromise and to get the person to be with me. It was a price I was willing to pay, but sometimes it's a little too much and I can't afford it. Sonia Singh: You want to be true to yourself. The bit you said also about the fact that your children, Shruti at least, is a remarkably well-rounded and beautiful young woman. You mentioned about not a normal childhood. And one major thing, and it was scandalous at that time, was that both your children were born before you got married. Kamal Haasan: That's right and that's what it is. Sonia Singh: So, you decided to go ahead and get married? Kamal Haasan: Yes! Because later on, even taking a hotel room was difficult. They wanted to know who the other person is. If you say 'that's the mother of my children', that's not good enough. So you had to say... Sonia Singh: My wife? Kamal Haasan: She is my Mrs. and I wanted to know what that 'Mrs' meant? It meant mistress. So, it's sort of a funny circle. I have been asking questions like they keep fighting and saying that's the oldest institution and how could you say it's failing just because yours failed. I think it is failing and it is not the oldest institutions and it's not the strongest holding institutions. The strongest holding institution is the family. You saw that between me and Shruti. That is family. That need not be clarified by something called marriage. Sonia Singh: But how would you answer the accusation that perhaps it was unfair to the woman in your life, both to your ex-wife Vani and Sarika, who now, in fact, is not in touch with her children anymore? Kamal Haasan: That's their decision. I mean only one has children, the other doesn't. So it's her decision not to be in touch, probably, with the children. I have an equipoise position. Equipoise on that and they don't want to be with her. I would facilitate that, but this is the way they want it to be and that's how it's going to be. I think they are persons now, they are not children. It's wrong to address.. Sonia Singh: They are adults. Kamal Haasan: It's my point of view to call them children, but ask them from their point of view. They are adults, they can vote. Both of them. They can run the fate of the country, why not their own? Sonia Singh: Religion. Now that again is something which, especially, in these times we seem to be becoming more and more rigid about as we go ahead. Not the other way round. It's controversial to have your views on religion. Why do you think it doesn't work? Kamal Haasan: For me it doesn't work. If you had been at the time of Jesus Christ, you'd be called an atheist, a zealot. The way he spoke, he spoke against the religion, at least to the one he belonged to at that time. It took till 1967 for the Vatican to accept that Mr Christ was a Jew. Sonia Singh: Yes, of course! And now we have new age zealot. Kamal Haasan: We have the Gospel according to the Buddhist now and we have many contradictory things about mythology. We confuse our mythology with our history. That's our problem. And we teach our children that. I have a strong view and I am very happy to be in India and not elsewhere where this won't be allowed. Am grateful to the nation. If at all, I would like to bow before any powers, it would be my democratic government. Sonia Singh: We have a web question for you all the way from Atlanta. Video caller Harshad Methrath, Atlanta: Hi , you are a nationalist. I was just wondering when are you going to make a bold statement like you made in David Mugan or Virumandi, where you made people realise and feel very guilty about the violence they instilled in society. So, I was just wondering when are you going to make your next movie that is as bold as Virumandi. Thank you, that's my question. Sonia Singh: Boldness is something that is associated with Kamal Haasan. From Atlanta. Your fans are all over the world. Kamal Haasan : I am glad he asked that from Atlanta, You have to be far remote to understand or to misunderstand the difficulty that one has. People accused me of my films being violent. I am only a reflector. I am not infusing violence into my society. In fact, on the contrary, society infuses all the violence into me, slowly but steadily. My films' violence does not decorate or glorify. It makes you thrill and it serves the purpose only that way and I am not allowed to do it. It cramps my style a lot. And about various activists who now come into movies about animals... you go to Rajasthan. You will see camels carrying tons which only trucks can afford to carry. People don't do anything about that and also everybody consumes chicken. Sonia Singh: I have got a question from Chennai. Someone I think you know. Video caller: Khushboo Actor: First and foremost, my heartiest and warmest congratulations to Padmashree Kamal Haasan on his 50 years in cinema. Sir, I am supposed to ask you one question, but knowing you, I can't stop with one. So there are two questions which are aimed at you. First, what makes Kamal Haasan different from others? Secondly, my next question is, if you were a burglar, what would you like to steal and why? Kamal Haasan: What I will steal is time, if I can. But that is one thing you can't burgle. But what makes me different is my family, my parents. They are very different people and my friends and the people I have. They are all very different people. I pick the best of them and hopefully, try to eschew them the bad past. I think that is what makes me different. Sonia Singh: Mr. Kamal Hassan, you have taken stance a through your life and through your films, not many know. We had Khushboo on asking you questions. We remember the controversy when the self-styled moral police took her on for her comments on the issue of pre-marital sex. You had the same controversy way back for a kiss you did on screen, when MJR said it's against Tamil culture and you are offending it. Tell us about that controversy? Kamal Haasan: Fortunately, he was not very vehement or angry about it. He knew me since childhood. He thought it's a child erring. But I was an adult and it was an adult case. What I am trying to say is, all this moral policing confuses people like me who have heard of Vatsayana and seen Konark, all the sculptures. I think, we are a sexually aware nation much before the rest of the world. Probably China could be an exception. But then, I don't know what happened. We picked up a lot of bad habits from people who came in and gave us newer cultures. And then we evolved into a confused new culture and we have more confused policing from it. Let me not go into a broader spectrum which is not actually my field. Let me talk about my film industry, look at the censors, and we have Adults-only certificate but we only give them adult-rated stuff. Sonia Singh: But we have come a long way from the flower before a kiss? Kamal Haasan: Yes. I mean, how do you think we manage a billion? I mean don't tell me it's a stork. I think we have grown up. Adults should see movies akin to what amuses them. What I would like to remind late Mr. Goldie Anand's statement for which he was removed from office. He said, "Let there be a Triple X cinema where people go to movies just for the stuff which is the excuse for businessmen, politicians and that's why we put it in the film. Otherwise, we respect the culture. Let them go to a separate theatre and no, please do not confuse it with the red-light area; I'm not talking about that." What Mr. Goldie Anand was trying to say, a filmmaker and a sensible one at that, was that the rest of the cinema will not be adult-rated with this kind of stuff. That's what he was trying to say. He was trying to clean up the act, literally. And he was cleaned out from office. Sonia Singh: Thank you very much, Sir, for joining us tonight . It was a pleasure to have you. Kamal Hasaan: Thank You.

I wish I had but doesn't matter, now it's too late. Shruti: We all have our own God, that was my question for you, because I heard you say that, "Thank God, I am a rationalist". Kamal Haasan: Well, that's not my line. That's from another great filmmaker who said that. He said, "Thank god! I am an athiest." He is a friend and mentor, Mr. John Clotharia.

You mentioned about not a normal childhood. And one major thing, and it was scandalous at that time, was that both your children were born before you got married. Kamal Haasan: That's right and that's what it is. Sonia Singh: So, you decided to go ahead and get married? Kamal Haasan: Yes! Because later on, even taking a hotel room was difficult. They wanted to know who the other person is. If you say 'that's the mother of my children', that's not good enough. So you had to say... Sonia Singh: My wife? Kamal Haasan: She is my Mrs. and I wanted to know what that 'Mrs' meant? It meant mistress. So, it's sort of a funny circle. I have been asking questions like they keep fighting and saying that's the oldest institution and how could you say it's failing just because yours failed. I think it is failing and it is not the oldest institutions and it's not the strongest holding institutions. The strongest holding institution is the family. You saw that between me and Shruti. That is family. That need not be clarified by something called marriage.

  The questions I would have (always)loved to ask Kamal (but could not!)
  
  1. his passion for learning classical dance - how much was his expertise in classical dance helpful in bringing in elements of unmatched grace and aesthetics to dancing in Tamil films during the 1980s, especially his films ?
  
  2. on a note related to the above, was the decision to infuse a masculine element to the typically feminine nature of Indian classical dance forms, in the film 'Sagara Sangamam', deliberate and well-thought out, or, simply a coincidental occurrence ? this is not a dumb silly reference to his wearing a moustache while dancing, but more a subtle element of masculinity showing up throughout his classical dance moves in SS (for instance, the emphais on the 'thandavam' movements), without sacrificing the aesthetics ?
  
  3. his knowledge of music - what was his contribution and continuing passion and involvement in the music department in his films ? how much of European classical music does he listen to ?
  
  4.his directorial ambitions ?

  Just finished reading Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh, a personal favourite. Now, he answers to an image of over-researching, bubbling with too many ideas in a single book author. Now, who does that remind me of?
  But I find a Kamalhasanic ability to create an opus with characters so rooted in their milieu, and situations that deal with the 'politics of the time and place' in a non-ranting, objective fashion. (Ok, I might be stretching my love for these 2 artists, so I will not pursue that line anymore)
  
  What is interesting in this book is the character of a naive landowner(grandly called maharaja in 1830's Bengal) implicated in forgery by circumstances, his own imprudent financial management, naivette and the conniving hand of scheming villainous british merchants and their clarks. He is jailed, and goes through an humiliating incarceration there, is slowly and steadily opened up to the realities of being on the other side of the power equation - of being violated. Ghosh approaches it less as a tale of good vs evil and more of the enduring power of human spirit though but thats a different story.
  Reason I am saying this in this thread is that it reminds me remarkably of a movie made by this man. From reading the book, I dont feel Ghosh ever saw Mahanadhi and that it is more of a coincidence but it feels good to see that two idols of yours have matching frequency. As I see it, Mahanadhi was also about the enduring power of human spirit.

  Yeah, PR, quite a scholarly writer. The chief reason he doesnt command the popularity of Seths and Rushdies is that child-like enthusiasm to share everything that he has learnt, and stuff in everything into one packet.
  In this book for instance, he creates his own language - each character has his own way of speaking English, far away from the propah English we know, the bengali first generation Gomusta(Clerk) with his quirky attempt at the foreign language to the Sea-faring lascars with their pidgin of chinese-arakanese-tamil-bhojpuri-english to the Bengali mahraja's propah English to the English mem's corrupted hindustani English. Grammar has no meaning here, and it is a challenging task to move from page to page, reading each word aloud, linking it to a word you guess in Hindustani , and then backworking the meaning of the sentences. Extremely tiring but extremely fascinating, too. Like Hey Ram. I cant get over the Kamal connection.
  
  Excerpt:
  

  Quote:

  Serang Ali wife-o hab makee die. Go topside, to hebbin. By’mby, Serang Ali catchi nother piece wife. What for Malum Zikri make big dam bobbery’n so muchee bukbuk and big-big hookuming? Malum Zikri still learn-pijjin. No sabbi ship-pijjin. No can see Serang Ali too muchi smart-bugger inside? Takee ship Por’Lwee-side three days, look-see.

  
  That's a sea-faring lascar , a sort of head worksman of a mixed indian-chinese-arakanese-basically-indian-ocean-origin-but-not-sure-exactly-which-part crew speaking in a bastardized language typical of his circumstances. Basically, he is saying he is assuring the uncertain new first mate of the ship, promoted thus from second mate because of circumstances taking away the captain and the first mate while on sea, that he, Serang Ali, knows everything about navigating to Port Lewis and the sahib need not 'hookum'(command) around like a headless chicken. Most of the hindustani words are words we know, but it is challenging to place them here. But I didnt find it difficult still, even with my limited knowledge of the hindustani language family.

  Another smashing, rather showy conversation occurs when a british sailor berates nautch girls poking fun at his sexual quirks...."I'd rather bang the bishop than charter your ch**e".

  The funny thing is, PR, there is a Hobson-Jobson dictionary that Ghosh has referenced which covers such terms extensively.
  What is absolutely fascinating is that many English words we take for granted owe their origin to arabic, hindi, bhojpuri, persian influence which precisely came about because of the flux of indentured labour to Mauritius, Malaysia and other lands through such ships, and the influence of the sea-faring lascars, who were then the first indians-asians to serve as low-level expert technicians in the then cutting edge shipping technology. They were, one could say, our ancestors(IT Workers') in globalisation in their own way.

  Here comes a pleasant surprise to movie lovers, especially Kamal and KB fans. The 'sishya' would direct his 'guru' for a yet to be titled movie, which would go on floors soon.
  
  "I am producing and directing a movie, in which Balachandar is acting with me. This is the first time for us to share the screen space together. His role has got enormous importance in the film," Kamal was quoted as saying.
  
  KB is the mentor of Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, the two superstars of Tamil cinema. This is the 50th year of Kamal in the Tamil film industry and the news that he would direct his mentor is no doubt a reason to celebrate for his fans.

  Balachander to act under Kamal`s direction
  
  By Telugucinema.com | Friday, 04 September , 2009, 10:56
  
  
  Renowned Tamil director, K Balachander, played a pivotal role in the careers of Rajnikant, Kamal Haasan and Chiranjeevi. Kamal Haasan, especially, has a special bonding with KB under whose direction Kamal acted in many films. Now, the guru-shishya team is reversing roles.
  
  Kamal Haasan said that he would soon be directing a film in Tamil in which K Balachander will act. `I am producing and directing the film. My guru will be acting with me for the first time. He will play a pivotal role in the movie.` It would be a treat for all Kamal and KB fans

  Its not a great film...just got nice parts that I never tire of revisiting simply because one can feel it is a film where Kamal was creatively involved.....I mean it is screaming obvious he wrote some of the 'good parts'. What I am trying to say is, "even" a quickie like this would be better than a laborious, long drawn non-Kamal film.

  I see where you come from, but I guess Kamal would like to do a big quickie as opposed to a small one, PR. I understand that your concern is about a non-Kamal film being long-drawn, just trying to arrive at a middle ground.

  In the NDTV Q and A,he said his next film in Tamil is political without being propagandist,which one was he referring to-the one he is going to write and direct with KB,the one with Myskkin or god forbid the one which KSR is going to be directing
  
  But I have to admit that I like KSR's writing and execution-he keeps it simple yet interesting.Not great cinema but def entertaining without being very stupid.

  "Satya sOdhanai" is the original title of 'Hey rAm'. aandavar had to change the original title for commercial reasons to make it sound more appealing.
  
  ten years after the change of title, the original title has resurfaced .
  
  a similar thing happened with another KH movie too. the original title of the movie was 'nammavar' which was changed to "thevar Magan". subsequently the same title resurfaced as another movie.
  
  since 90s, almost all aandavar's movies have undergone a name change. as far i can remember, here goes the list
  
  
  Original title Final title
  
  madikettAn sOlai: Gunaa
  nammavar : Thevar magan
  indirrajith : Kalaignan
  drohi : Kuruthi punal
  chikni chachi : Chachi 420
  satya sodhanai : Hey Ram
  Sandiyar : Virumaandi
  Stree SamAnya : Raama Shaama Bhaama
  Talaivan IrukkirAn: UnnaippOl oruvan
  
  three other movies also had almost underwent a title change: Vasool Raja MBBS, Mumbai Xpress and Dasavatharam.
  
  At this rate, I wont be surprised even if aandavar decidecs to do a different movie using the title "madhikettAn sOlai" or "Talaivan IrukkirAn" in the near future.

  Kamal confirms Mysskin movie
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, September 07, 2009]
  
  
  Putting an end to a guessing game whether he would act or not in Mysskin’s direction, Kamal Haasan said on Sunday that the “historical movie” would go on floors soon.
  
  Speaking on the sidelines of the audio launch of his forthcoming film ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’, the versatile actor however said a film in his direction would be his next venture as Mysskin’s movie required research work, which would take some time.
  
  “I would direct my mentor K Balachandar for my next movie. I am also penning the script and screenplay for it. It will go on floors before this year-end,” he said. On Mysskin’s film, he said, ‘the works are on for it. Since it involves some extensive research, we propose to start it after my movie with KB”.
  
  Heaping laurels on his daughter Shruthi Haasan, who has composed music for ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’, Kamal said, “I am happy and satisfied as both producer and father. I was like any other anxious dad waiting to listen to his daughter's creation. She qualified herself well before taking a plunge into the field and Shruthi has given songs that are really good”.
  
  Urging Tamil film industry to utilise technology properly, Kamal said, “Technology has grown leaps and bounds. Tamil film industry should utilise it. Not just in film-making, but also in other areas like marketing and distribution”.

  Frankly,me too excited about him returning to direction after 5 years,looking forward to more bytes from him on the subject,cast etc.
  
  But wouldn't want him not doing the Mysskin movie, it would be nice to work with people outside the core group who might bring out another dimension of his skills and come out with a very un- Kamal but interesting movie.

'மர்மயோகி' படத்திற்கான பணிகளை துவக்காததால் முன்பணமாக பெற்ற தொகையை நீங்கள் திருப்பி செலுத்த வேண்டும். எனவே உடனடியாக முன்பணத்தை திருப்பிச் செலுத்துவீர்கள் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கிறோம். மேலும் சட்ட ரீதியான நடவடிக்கை மற்றும் தேவையற்ற செலவீனங்களை தவிர்ப்பீர்கள் என்றும் நம்புகிறோம்...", என்று கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது. சாய்மிரா நிறுவனம் மறு சீரமைப்பு நடவடிக்கைகளில் தீவிரமாக உள்ளதால், தனது நிதி ஆதாரங்களை வலுப்படுத்தும் நடவடிக்கையாக இந்த நோட்டீஸை அனுப்பியுள்ளது.

  Quote:

  Following is a statement issued by Kamal Haasan to the media today: My attention has been drawn to reports in a section of the press that Pyramid Saimira has obtained a stay against the release of our movie ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’. It is not true. I am glad to be given an opportunity to state facts. The debacle of our film ‘Marmayogi’ and circumstances around it are well known. I worked on ‘Marmayogi’ exclusively, without taking up any other assignment for an year, made elaborate preparations, had sets built and even did some shooting, directing and acting. The project was put on back burner because Pyramid Saimira could not come up with funds for continuing shooting. Having lost one year of my career, and an income of about Rs 40 crore, I had issued a notice to Pyramid Saimira on 12th April 2009 demanding payment of Rs 40 crore.. No reply has so far been received from Pyramid to the notice. We have also had caveats entered against Pyramid Saimira in courts. I have also caused a suit to be filed in the High Court of Madras against Pyramid Saimira. Probably, to counter my legal action against them, they have decided to go to the press on a smear campaign and they have sent me a notice making wild and false allegations. An interim reply also has been sent to it. The fact remains that I have obtained a caveat against them. Neither I nor Raaj Kamal Films International have received any stay order from any court. I must state that irresponsible statements made or published damage my reputation and my company. I will shortly be seeking legal advice to examine the avenues open for me. Sincerely Kamal Haasan

  Compli,
  Thalaivar was negotiating with UTV and he almost reached an agreement with Gemini Films Circuit for Marmayogi, before he signed the agreement with Saimira. They say, he wouldn't compromise on certain financial terms. Ozhunga Gemini kittaye poirukkalaam!
  
  Talking about input/output, Aascar made a once in a lifetime jackpot out of Thalaivar and escaped overnight like a chit fund fraudster. And for all his time and effort, Thalaivar would have made 12 Crores, nax from 10A.

  I mean lets set Marmayogi aside. Until he finds another Bharat Shah.
  Until then just keep the steam running. The man admitted during the workshop that he looks at writing like going to the gym. You write a page or more everyday, because you want to develop writing muscle. Making a 25% deduction for hyperbole, that is still a hec of a lot of pages. I doubt all of these stories he is writing are set in the 7th century and involve significant investment.
  The Coens, I believe in a post-Fargo Charlie Rose interview, said that while their movies may not be small budget any more they still write from that mentality. Appadi ezhuthi 50 lakhs-kku direct paNNa vENdiyathu thAnE? Consider it microfinancing movies.
  I am hundred percent sure there are issues with doing this (I've heard film stock for a 1.5 hour film itself will be half the amount I quoted) but someone should at least be asking him these questions, pushing the envelope in a manner of speaking.

  `I believe in people cinema' -Kamal Haasan Kamal Haasan gets candid about his films, the controversies he is embroiled in and his daughter. He has completed 50 glorious years in the film industry, but 55-year-old Kamal Haasan is as exuberant as a debutante. In the city with his family for the audio launch of his film Eenadu, the actor talks about his love for cinema. Always known to tread on off-beat paths, Kamal has managed to be a commercial success too. "I try different things, but I am not the struggling actor from art cinema. I believe in `people' cinema. Feedback should be as honest as a mirror and, for me, box office success is the true feedback," says the actor. Much lauded for his versatility, Kamal Hasaan says it was a great experience working with Venkatesh in Eenadu and with Mohanlal, though he feels the southern industry hasn't opened up to multi-starrers yet. "I don't know how many actors will be ready to do multi-starrers. Everyone fails to remember that it is the story which made them stars. Content is king. Yet, we keep doing the same kind of cinema which becomes monotonous," he adds. The actor who has been doing multi-linguals right from his Sagara Sangamam days says he does movies in both Tamil and Telugu as he doesn't want to "neglect the audience of both states." 12:17 pm (2½ hours ago) Rohit V His film career may be going great guns, but controversies haven't left his side either. Pyramid Saimira, a production company recently alleged that it had paid Rs 10.9 crore to the actor which was used by him to produce Eenadu and Unnaipol Oruvan. The company has sought a court stay on the film's release and issued a notice against him for breaching their contract for the film Marmayogi. Kamal, in turn is demanding that they pay him Rs 40 crore for asking him not to work for a year. "They are trying to build a false case. The cheque they gave me for Rs 1.5 crore, bounced due to lack of funds. They told me they don't have the money to make the film," Kamal exclaims. Kamal is now making headlines not just an actor but as a proud dad. Talking about Sruthi Hassan, he says that the relationship he shares with his daughter is that of equals. "She has always been daddy's girl, but now she is a distinct `individual'. If she wants me to guide her, then I direct her to the right people. If she asks me for advice, I'm ready to give that too," says the doting dad. http://www.dc-epaper.com/DC/DCH/2009/09/14/ArticleHtmls/14_09_2009_103_002.shtml?Mode=0

  Although the multi-faceted Kamal Haasan has sung for himself in films like Sadma, Hey Ram and Chachi 420, he has sung for another actor for the first time. On September 1, at a hush-hush recording, the maverick cineaste recorded a song that will be filmed on Pankaj Kapur for Happi. The song called 'Zindagi dish' is written by Jaideep Sahni and composed by Ilaiyaraja. There seems to be many reasons why Kamal Haasan made an exception and recorded a song to be filmed on another actor. Director Bhavna Talwar confirms the news and says, “It’s an extraordinary homage from one brilliant actor, who’s also a brilliant singer, to another brilliant actor. I think Kamalji also sung the song because of Ilaiyaraja. The two of them go back a long way and are very close.” Also, Kamal Haasan, who modelled his performance on the great Charlie Chaplin in Sadma and Sagar, is a huge fan of Chaplin. Bhavna further explains, “In Happi, Pankaj’s character is a direct descendent of Charlie Chaplin. We’ve set the story (written by Pankaj Kapur) in the heart of Mumbai where we see this common man on a bicycle going through his uncommonly-common experiences. We’re very fortunate to have got the likes of Ilaiyaraja and Kamal Haasan on board.” Happi is Chaplinesque in its silences and is almost a silent film (two-thirds of it is dialogue-free) and the background score is being done in Budapest by Ilaiyaraja with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra.

  It's called selective thinking, Leo. Why not mention Madhavan who came here to promote Evano Oruvan..
  
  Anyway, Malaysia has been receptive towards Kamal all the time. Konjam hiccups here and there, & we owe it to him for Apoorva Sahotharargal and Hey Ram was a big hit here. UPO is a guaranteed success, I'm sure.

  wow...I didn't know Hey Ram, a critically acclaimed movie (which didn't do well in India) a big hit in Malaysia. that's great. there we can see the audience (indeed very good) taste for movies there. am extremely happy that hey ram did good elsewhere. I hope it is true with Anbe Sivam also, another good movie.

  Sakala,
  
  two clarifications.
  
  1) AFAIK aandavar's first movie in dual role was 'Kalyanaraman'
  2) The (only) bengali movie Aandavar acted was "Kabita" and not "Subita"

  [tscii]A GEM OF INFORMATION from Ira.Murukan
  
  http://idlyvadai.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post_17.html
  
  கல்கி 13.9.09 இதழில் இரா.முருகன் கமலுடன் தனக்கு ஏற்பட்ட நட்பு, அனுபவம் பற்றிய கட்டுரை கீழே...
  
  வாழ்க்கையின் சுவாரசியமான முரண்களில் இதையும் சேர்த்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும். ஒரு பேரிழப்பு. ஆயிரம் பேருக்கு மேல் கூடியிருக்கும் அரங்கில் விளக்குகள் அணைந்து அஞ்சலி செலுத்தும் நிகழ்ச்சி ஆரம்பமாகிறது. நான் அரங்கின் திரைக்கு அந்தப் பக்கமாக ஒரு நாற்காலியில். தமிழ் இலக்கிய, திரையுலகங்களில் இருந்து பிரமுகர்கள் பங்கு பெறும் நிகழ்ச்சியில் வெறும் இலக்கிய முகம் மட்டும் கொண்ட நான் நாலு வார்த்தை பேசக் காத்திருக்கிறேன். அமரர் சுஜாதாவைப் பற்றி நாலு வார்த்தையில் என்ன பகிர்ந்து கொள்வது? சுஜாதா மறைவுக்கு அஞ்சலி செலுத்தும் மாபெரும் கூட்டம் அது.
  
  கிரேஸி மோகன் உள்ளே வந்து என் அருகில் அமர்கிறார். நான் அவருக்கு மட்டும் கேட்கும் குரலில் அறிமுகப்படுத்திக் கொள்கிறேன். அவரோடு அந்த நிமிடம் ஆரம்பமான ஆழ்ந்த நட்பு பற்றித் தனியாக இன்னொரு அத்தியாயம் எழுதலாம். கிரேஸியைத் தொடர்ந்து உள்ளே நுழைந்தவரைப் பற்றித்தான் இந்தக் கட்டுரை.
  
  முழுக்கை கருப்புச் சட்டை, நீல ஜீன்ஸ், முகத்தை கிட்டத்தட்ட முழுக்க மறைத்த தேன்கூடு தாடி. அதையெல்லாம் மீறி, பளிச்சென்று தீட்சண்யமாக ஒளிரும் விழிகள். அடக்கமான, அழுத்தமான குரல். மோகன் கிசுகிசுவென்று அறிமுகப்படுத்த, அவர் என் கையைப் பற்றிக் குலுக்குகிறார். ‘நான் கமலஹாசன்’.
  
  நான் தாடியைக் கவனிப்பதை அறிந்தவர்போல், ‘இது மர்மயோகிக்காக’ என்கிறார். என்ன கதை என்று கேட்கலாமா? போன நிமிடம் அறிமுகமான மிகப் பிரபல கலைஞரிடம் அவ்வளவு உரிமையோடு கேட்க எனக்குத் தயக்கம்.
  
  நண்பர் டைரக்டர் வசந்த் உள்ளே வந்து கமலைப் பேச அழைக்கிறார். ‘மர்மயோகியில் நீங்களும் பங்கு பெறணும்’. ஒரு வினாடி அந்தக் கண்கள் சிரிக்கின்றன. திரும்பவும் அவை ஒளிர மேடைக்கு அவர் நடக்கிறார். அந்த நிமிடத்தில் இருந்து அவரைத் தொடர்ந்து நடக்கிறதில் எனக்குப் பெருமைதான்.
  
  அந்த ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை பகல். அவர் அலுவலகத்தில் ஹோம் தியேட்டர் பகுதிக்கு என்னை அழைத்துப் போகிறார். ‘இது மருதநாயகம் டிரைலர்’. மர்மயோகியா மருதநாயகமா? மருதநாயகம் தான். ‘இதுவும் சீக்கிரம் பயன்படும்’. அவர் கண்கள் சுருக்கமாக சிரிக்கின்றன. லேப் டாப் கம்ப்யூட்டரில் ஒரு ஃபைலைத் திறக்கிறார்.
  
  ‘மர்மயோகி முழு ஸ்கிரிப்ட். வெர்ஷன் மூணு’.
  
  அவசரமாகப் படிக்க முற்படுகிறேன். மணலூர், பாண்டிய மன்னன், சமணர்கள், கழுமரம் என்று அங்கங்கே கண்ணில் தட்டுப்படும் வார்த்தைகள் மனதை இழுத்துப் பிடிக்கின்றன. ‘சரித்திரப் படம்’. அவர் சொல்கிறார். ‘பிற்காலச் சோழர்களுக்கு முன்பா, பின்பா?’ நான் ராஜராஜசோழனை மனதில் வைத்துக்கொண்டு கேட்கிறேன். கி.பி 975க்கு முற்பட்ட சரித்திரம் என்றால் சான்றும் ஆதாரமும் வேணுமே.
  
  ‘ஆமா, வேணும்’. என்னைக் கூர்ந்து பார்க்கிறார் கமல். ‘நிறைய ஆய்வு நடத்தியிருக்கேன். களப்பிரர் காலம். வேள்விக்குடி செப்பேடுகள் தெரியுமா?’
  
  மூன்றாம், நான்காம் நூற்றாண்டு தமிழக வரலாற்றில் இருண்ட பகுதியாகச் சித்தரிக்கப் படுகிற ஒன்று. தமிழகத்தைத் தமிழர் இல்லாத யாரோ பிறர் ஆண்ட களப்பிரர் காலம் அது. அதை வைத்து என்ன ஆராய்ச்சி?
  
  அடுத்த நிமிடம் கமல் என்ற கலைஞர் அங்கே காணாமல் போக, ஒரு சரித்திர ஆய்வாளர் என்முன் தேன்கூட்டுத் தாடியோடு உட்கார்ந்திருக்கிறார். இருண்ட அந்தக் களப்பிரர் காலமும், கதாபாத்திரங்களும் கமல் குரலில் மெல்ல எழுந்து அறை முழுக்கப் பரவ இடமே நிறைந்து நிற்கிற பிரமை. அவர் எனக்காக சிருஷ்டித்த வெர்ச்சுவல் ரியலிட்டி அது.
  
  ஆற்றொழுக்கான ஆங்கில நடையிலும் நல்ல தமிழிலும் அவர் சொல்லிப் போக நான் வினாடிக்கு வினாடி வெவ்வேறு உணர்ச்சிகளைப் பிரதிபலிக்கும் அவர் விழிகளையே பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறேன். ‘History is the journal of victors till questioned’. போகிற போக்கில் உதிர்க்கிற அந்த வாக்கியத்தின் அழுத்தத்தில் அமிழும் முன்னால் இன்னொரு துண்டுப் படத்தை ஓட விடுகிறார். பரீட்சார்த்த முறையில் மர்மயோகிக்காக எடுத்த காட்சி அது. படகுத் துறை. நகரும் படகு.
  
  ‘சந்தனம் ஏத்திப் போகணுமா? கூலி அதிகமாகுமே’. படகுக்காரன் சொல்கிறான்.
  
  ‘கூலி பாரசீக வார்த்தை இல்லையோ?’ எனக்கு நியாயமாகப் பட்ட சந்தேகத்தைக் முந்திரிக்கொட்டையாகக் கிளப்புகிறேன்.
  
  ‘திருக்குறள் எந்த நூற்றாண்டு?’ அவர் திரும்பக் கேட்கிறார். ராக்கெட் அறிவியல் கூடத் தெரிந்து கொண்டுவிடலாம். திருக்குறள் காலத்தை எப்படி ஆராய்ச்சி செய்ய? ‘அது களப்பிரர் காலத்தை ஒட்டியது’. கமல் சரித்திரப் பேராசிரியராக காரணங்களை அடுக்கிப் போகிறார். ‘கூலி?’ நான் நினைவூட்டுகிறேன். ‘ஞாபகம் இருக்கு’ அவர் அழுத்தமாகச் சொல்லிவிட்டு’தெய்வத்தால் ஆகாதெனினும் முயற்சிதன் மெய்வருந்தக் கூலி தரும்’ என்று சட்டென்று குறள் சொல்கிறார். அந்தக் கண்கள் இன்னொரு முறை சிரிக்கின்றன. ‘குறள்லேயே கூலி இருக்கே’.
  
  அடுத்த சில மாதங்கள் மர்மயோகி திரைக்கதையை செப்பனிட்டு அங்கங்கே திருத்தி, மாற்றி எழுதி அவர் பத்தாவது டிராப்ட் வரை வந்து விட்டார். என் லேப் டாப்பிலும் அவர் உபயோகிக்கும் சாப்ட்வேர் குடியேற, எழுதினதை உடனுக்குடன் படிக்க, அங்கங்கே சின்னச் சின்னதாக உதவ காலம் நகர்கிறது. ஈ-மெயிலிலும், தொலைபேசியிலும், நேரில் சந்திக்கும் வார இறுதி நாட்களிலும் ஒர் ஆசானாக எனக்கு திரைக்கதை என்ற மாயவித்தையைக் கற்பிக்கிறார். இந்த வடிவம் எனக்குப் பழக்கமான நாவல், சிறுகதை, கவிதை எல்லாம் கலந்த ஒன்று. அதையெல்லாம் கடந்த வித்தியாசமான படைப்பு உருவாக்கக் கை கொடுப்பது.
  
  மர்மயோகி கொஞ்சம் பொறுத்து வரட்டும் என்று முடிவாகிறது. அதற்குள் இன்னும் இரண்டு திரைக்கதை முழு ஸ்கிரிப்ட் எழுதியிருக்கிறார் கமல். அவர் வேகத்துக்கு ஈடுகொடுத்துக் கூடச் செல்ல மூச்சு முட்டுகிறது. ஆனாலும் முயற்சி செய்கிறேன்.
  
  ஒரு சாயங்கால நேரத்தில் மொபைல் ஒலிக்கிறது. அவர்தான்.
  
  ‘எ வெண்ட்ஸ்டே இந்திப் படம் பார்த்துட்டீங்களா?’
  
  அவரோடு அமர்ந்து பார்க்க சந்தர்ப்பம் கிடைக்கிறது. நசிருதீன் ஷா, அனுபம் கெர் ஆகிய அற்புதமான கலைஞர்களின் அழுத்தமான நடிப்பில் உருவான ஆர்ப்பாட்டம் இல்லாத படம். இதை எதற்கு என்னைப் பார்க்கச் சொல்கிறார்?
  
  ‘இந்தப் படத்தை தமிழ்லே எடுக்கறோம். நீங்க தான் வசன கர்த்தா’.
  
  ஒரு நிமிடம் வாயில் வார்த்தை வராமல் தடுமாறுகிறேன். அந்தக் கண்கள் மறுபடி சிரிக்கின்றன.
  
  ‘தமிழ்ச் சூழல், தமிழகச் சூழல். பொதுவான இந்தியச் சூழல். எல்லாம் தெளிவாக இருக்கணும். கதையை அதுக்கு ஏத்த மாதிரி மாத்தி அமைக்க வேண்டியிருக்கு. அப்படியே தெலுங்கு வெர்ஷனும் தயாராகணும்’
  
  தயாராகிறது. மோகன்லால் முதல்தடவையாகக் கமலோடு இணைந்து நடிக்கிறார் என்ற அடுத்த செய்தி பரபரப்பை அதிகமாக்குகிறது. தெலுங்கில் அதே பாத்திரத்தை வெங்கடேஷ் செய்கிறார் என்பது அடுத்த செய்தி.
  
  ‘இது ஒரு குறுகிய காலத் தயாரிப்பு. ரெண்டே மாசத்துலே முழுப் படமும் முடிச்சாகணும்’.
  
  என்னிடமும் டைரக்டர் சக்ரியிடமும் அவர் சொல்ல அது எப்படி முடியும் என்கிறதுபோல் நாங்கள் ஒருவரை ஒருவர் பார்த்துக் கொள்கிறோம். ‘முடிச்சுடலாம். திட்டமிட்டு செயல்பட்டா ஒரு கஷ்டமும் இல்லே. ஐ வில் டேக் கேர்’. கமல் அபயம் தருகிறார். சட்டென்று ஒரு நம்பிக்கை அலையாகப் பரவுகிறது.
  
  அடுத்த பதினைந்து நாட்களில் மும்முரமாக ‘வெண்ட்ஸ்டே’யின் தமிழ், ஸ்கிரிப்ட் உருவாகிறது. தினமும் நீண்ட உரையாடல்கள். காட்சி அமைப்பு, கதாபாத்திரங்கள் பற்றிய சர்ச்சைகள். கமல் என்ற பன்முகத் தோற்றம் கொண்ட மாபெரும் கலைஞனின் ஆளுமை மெய்மறக்க வைக்கிறது. ஒவ்வொரு பாத்திரமாகவும் உருமாறி கான்பரன்ஸ் அறை வட்ட மேஜையில் வசனங்களுக்கு உயிர் கொடுக்கிறார். நிற்பதும் நடப்பதும் பணிவதும் மிரட்டுவதும் பயப்படுவதும் பயப்படுத்துவதுமான அந்தக் கதாபாத்திரங்கள் ஒவ்வொன்றும் தனித்தன்மை வாய்ந்தவை. மூலக் கதையோடு கொஞ்சம் போல் தொப்புள்கொடி உறவு மட்டும் கொண்டு இவை இயங்கும் விதமும் சிந்திக்கும் விதமும் புதுமையானது.
  
  ‘வசனம் எழுதறதை விட மௌனத்தை எழுதறது தான் கஷ்டம். உங்களுக்குத் தெரிஞ்சிருக்குமே’
  
  கமல் என் எழுத்துக்கு ஜீவன் அளிக்கிறது போல் நடந்து கொண்டே உரக்கப் படித்தபடி சில திருத்தங்களுக்கான ஆலோசனை தெரிவிக்கிறார். ‘பாதி வார்த்தை, பாதி வாக்கியம் சொன்னாலும் பரவாயில்லை. அதுக்குப் பின்னாலே ஒரு அர்த்தமுள்ள மௌனம் பொருத்தமாக இழைந்து வந்தா நீங்க சொல்ல வேண்டியதை முழு வீரியத்தோடு சொல்லிவிட முடியும்’. அந்தக் கண்கள் எத்தனையாவது முறையாகவோ சிரிக்கின்றன.
  
  ‘திரைக்கதை ஒரு சவாலான இலக்கிய வடிவம். வசனம் எழுதறது அதிலே ஒரு பகுதி மட்டும் தான். தமிழ் எழுத்தாளர்கள்லே இந்த வடிவத்தை சரியாகப் புரிஞ்சு கையாண்டவர்கள்’. அவர் சொல்லி நிறுத்துகிறார். அர்த்தமுள்ள மௌனம். சவாலை நீங்க ஏத்துக்கறீங்களா என்பது போல் அவர் புருவம் உயர்த்தி என்னைப் பார்க்கிறார். என் நம்பிக்கையைப் பார்வையிலேயே அவரிடம் தெரிவிக்கிறேன்.
  
  ‘கிட்டத்தட்ட படப்பிடிப்பு முழுக்க ஹைதராபாத்தில் வச்சுக்கலாம்னு இருக்கேன். வந்துடுங்க’. அன்புக் கட்டளை. ஆபீஸ் இருக்கே? வாரக் கடைசியிலே வரலாமே? வாரக் கடைசியில் மனமும் உடலும் பயணத்துக்குத் தயாராக இருக்கின்றன.
  
  ராமோஜி ராவ் பிலிம் சிட்டி உணவு விடுதியில் அவசர அவசரமாக டைரக்டர் சக்ரியோடு ஒரு நீண்ட மீசை குங்குமப் பொட்டுக் காரர் காலைச் சாப்பாடு சாப்பிட்டபடி என்னைப் பார்க்கிறார். அறிமுகப் படுத்திக் கொள்கிறேன். அவரும். கலையாக்கத்தில் புதிய உயரங்களை சதா சிருஷ்டிக்கும் தோட்டா தரணி அலம்பிய கை காயும் முன்னால் சக்ரியோடும் ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் மனோஜ் சோனியோடும் ஷுட்டிங் ப்ளோருக்கு ஓடுகிறார்.
  
  ‘போலீஸ் கமிஷனர் ஆபீஸ் பார்த்திருக்கீங்களா?’ அந்த அவசரத்திலும் என்னைப் பார்த்து விசாரிக்கிறார் தோட்டா.
  
  நான் எழுதிய காட்சி நினைவு வருகிறது. எழுத்தில் வடித்தது எழுந்து நிற்பதைக் காண உடனே வரச் சொல்லி விட்டு தோட்டா துப்பாக்கியிலிருந்து விடுபட்ட மாதிரி பறக்கிறார்.
  
  ஒயர்கள், காமிரா, டிராலி, ஒலிப்பதிவு சாதனம், ஒளிவிடும் விளக்குகள், ரிப்ளக்டர்கள், பூம் மைக் இப்படி பலபட்டடையான சமாசாரங்களைக் கடந்து உள்ளே போகிறேன்.
  
  போலீஸ் கமிஷனரின் நெருக்கடி நேர செயல்பாட்டு அறையான வார் ரூம் ஒரு போர்ப் பாசறை போல் சகலவிதமான கம்ப்யூட்டர், தகவல் தொடர்பு சாதனங்களோடு இயங்கத் தயாராக இருக்கிறது. நிஜமான கம்ப்யூட்டர்கள், நிஜமான மற்ற உபகரணங்கள். நடிகர்கள் மட்டும் வேடம் புனைந்தவர்கள்.
  
  ‘ஹலோ’. குரல் கேட்டு நிமிர்ந்து பார்க்கிறேன். மிடுக்கான காக்கிச் சட்டையில் ‘ஐ.ஜி.ராகவன் மாரார்’ என்று பெயர் அறிவிக்கும் பேட்ஜ். நீள நிமிர்ந்து நிற்கும் மோகன்லால் என் கரத்தைக் குலுக்கி வரவேற்கிறார். நான் பெயர் வைத்துப் படைத்த பாத்திரம் இப்படி ஆறடி உயர ஆஜானுபாகுவாக அவதாரம் எடுத்து எனக்கு முன்னால் நிற்கும் அனுபவம் முற்றிலுமே புதியது. சினிமாவே தனி அனுபவம் தான்.
  
  மோகன்லாலோடு பேசிக் கொண்டிருக்கும்போது வெளியே இருந்து மொபைலில் குறுஞ்செய்தி. கமல் வந்து விட்டார்.
  
  அவசரமாக வெளியே வரும்போது மேல் தளத்தில் ஷூட்டிங் ஸ்பாட்டில் இருந்து யாரோ வேகமாக இறங்கி வருகிறார்கள். கிட்டத்தட்ட மோதல். நிமிர்ந்தால் அது நமிதா. ‘மேலே ஜெகன்மோகினி ஷூட்டிங்’. உதவி டைரக்டர் சொல்கிறார். நமிதாவுக்கு சாரி சொல்லக் கூட நேரம் இன்றி (எதுக்கு?) கமலை சந்திக்க அவருடடய ஊர்திக்குச் செல்கிறேன். அதற்குள் அவரே இறங்கி ஓடி வருகிறார்.
  
  அவர் முகத்தில் கோபம். கண்கள் சிவந்து ரௌத்ரமே உருவெடுத்தது போல் என் முன் வந்து நிற்கிறார். நான் என்ன தப்பு செய்தேன் கமல் சார்? கேட்க வாயெடுக்கும் முன் அவர் கணீரென்ற குரலில் பேச ஆரம்பித்து விடுகிறார். குற்றம் சாட்டும் குரல். அவர் விரல் நீண்டு என்னைச் சுட்டுகிறது.
  
  ‘ஏன் நான் ஆத்திரப்படக் கூடாதா?’
  
  என்னைப் பார்த்துக் கேட்ட கேள்வியைத் தொடர்ந்து சீற்றம், சிலிர்ப்பு, ஆற்றாமை, சோகம் எல்லாம் ஒன்று மாற்றி ஒன்று வானவில்லாக வர்ண ஜாலம் பொழிய அவர் பேசிக் கொண்டே போகிறார். அவர் என் மேல் கோபப்படவில்லை. ஒரு முக்கிய காட்சியில் உரையாடல் எப்படி இருக்கலாம் என்று யோசித்தவர் சட்டென்று மனதில் பொறி தோன்ற எழுந்து ஓடி வந்திருக்கிறார்.
  
  அதை உள்வாங்கி வசனமாக மாற்ற அதிக நேரம் பிடிக்கவில்லை. அந்த உணர்ச்சிப் பிரவாகம் நீண்ட நேரம் என்னைத் தொடர்ந்து கொண்டே இருக்கிறது.
  
  ராமோஜி ராவ் பிலிம் சிட்டியில் இருந்து பஞ்ஜாரா ஹில் பகுதிக்குப் படப்பிடிப்பு தளம் மாறுகிறது. புதிதாகக் கட்டி உயர்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கும் ஒரு பதினாலு மாடிக் கட்டிடம். கீழே இருந்து மொட்டை மாடிக்குப் போக 280 படிகள் ஏற வேண்டும். ‘வாங்க, மேலே போய் டிஸ்கஸ் செய்யலாம். ஷூட்டிங் அங்கேதான்’.
  
  கமல் தடகள விளையாட்டு வீரர் போல் நடுவிலே ஒரு இடத்திலும் மூச்சு வாங்காமல் இயல்பாகப் படி ஏறி பதினாலாம் மாடியில் நாற்காலியில் உட்கார்ந்திருக்கிறார். மூச்சு வாங்க கையில் லாப்டேப் கம்ப்யூட்டரோடு நான் மேலே போகிறேன். உரையாடலைப் படித்து விவாதித்து முடிவு செய்கிறோம்.

  ஒரு நாளைக்கு கிட்டத்தட்ட ஐந்து முறை படி ஏறி இறங்கி எனக்கும் பழகிப் போகிறது. நாலு மாடி ஏறிவிட்டு சுற்றுப்புற இயற்கை சூழலை ரசிக்கிற சாக்கில் கொஞ்சம் நின்று மூச்சு வாங்கி விட்டு ஓய்வு எடுக்காமல் நானும் கொஞ்சம் மெதுவாக நடந்தாவது தினசரி ரெண்டாயிரத்து எண்ணூறு படி ஏறி இறங்கி என் காலே என் உடலிலிருந்து தனியாகப் பிரிந்த அங்கமாகக் கூட வருகிறது.
  
  பட்டப் படைக்கும் வெய்ய்யிலில் இதுதான் இமயமலைச் சாரல் என்று மனதில் கருதிக் கொண்டதுபோல் கமல் சுபாவமாக நடந்து ஓரமாகப் போய் எட்டிப் பார்க்க ஷூட்டிங் ஆரம்பம். காட்சி முடிந்து அறைக்குத் திரும்பியவர் என்ன யோசித்தாரோ. மறுநாள் காலை பதினாலு மாடி ஏறி வந்ததும் வராதுமாக, ‘நேத்து எடுத்த கடைசி ஷாட்டை திரும்ப எடுத்துடலாம்’.
  
  தொடர்ந்து வசனம் வரும் அந்தக் காட்சியின் இறுதிப் பகுதியில் பேச ஆரம்பித்து சட்டென்று நிறுத்தி அவர் திடீரென்று எதையோ செய்கிறார். படத்தின் டிபைனிங் மூமெண்ட் பதினைந்து செகண்ட் மட்டும் வரும் அந்த முக்கியமான காட்சி என்று நான் அடித்துச் சொல்வேன். நான் ஆரம்பித்து வைக்க ஷூட்டிங்கில் ஈடுபட்டிருக்கும் முழு யூனிட்டுமே எழுந்து கைதட்டுகிறது. எந்த சலனமும் இல்லாம கமல் படி இறங்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்.
  
  சாயங்காலச் சூரியனின் இதமான சிவப்புக் கதிர்கள் அந்திக்குக் கட்டியம் கூற பின்னணியில் பக்கத்து பள்ளிவாசலில் தொழுகைக்கு அழைக்கும் குரல் காற்றில் மிதந்து வருகிறது. எங்கோ ரயில் போகிற ஓசை. அப்புறம் முழு அமைதி. இதை எழுதுவது எப்படி என்று எனக்குக் கமல் சொல்லிக் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார்.

  தானே இயக்கி, தயாரித்து நடிக்கும் அடுத்தப் படத்தில், அசல் அரசியல்வாதியாக மிரட்ட வருகிறாராம் உலக நாயகன் கமல்ஹாசன். இதில், அவரை எதிர்த்து அதகளம் பண்ணுபவராக பாலசந்தரே நடிக்கிறாராம். (குரு - சிஷ்யன்!)

  Kamal sings for Pankaj
  
  Although the multi-faceted Kamal Haasan has sung for himself in films like Sadma, Hey Ram and Chachi 420, he has sung for another actor for the first time. On September 1, at a hush-hush recording, the maverick cineaste recorded a song that will be filmed on Pankaj Kapur for Happi. The song called 'Zindagi dish' is written by Jaideep Sahni and composed by Ilaiyaraja.
  
  There seems to be many reasons why Kamal Haasan made an exception and recorded a song to be filmed on another actor. Director Bhavna Talwar confirms the news and says, “It’s an extraordinary homage from one brilliant actor, who’s also a brilliant singer, to another brilliant actor. I think Kamalji also sung the song because of Ilaiyaraja. The two of them go back a long way and are very close.”
  
  Also, Kamal Haasan, who modelled his performance on the great Charlie Chaplin in Sadma and Sagar, is a huge fan of Chaplin. Bhavna further explains, “In Happi, Pankaj’s character is a direct descendent of Charlie Chaplin. We’ve set the story (written by Pankaj Kapur) in the heart of Mumbai where we see this common man on a bicycle going through his uncommonly-common experiences. We’re very fortunate to have got the likes of Ilaiyaraja and Kamal Haasan on board.”
  
  Happi is Chaplinesque in its silences and is almost a silent film (two-thirds of it is dialogue-free) and the background score is being done in Budapest by Ilaiyaraja with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra.

  Mysskin Is Busy Studying Literature Director Mysskin is exceptionally talented in his field and the two films 'Chithiram Pesuthadi' and 'Anjathey' manifested the statement. But, when it comes to teaming up with the universal star of Kollywood it demands a lot that has made the maker burn the midnight oil. Clearly impressed with his narration of the proposed script, Kamal Haasan has made up his mind to do a movie with Mysskin. And, he is also still thirsty for the historical extravaganza in his film career which started with 'Marma Yogi'. For the same reason, Kamal has handed over a collection books on literature beseeching the director to comprehend them and improvise his historical story. Now, Mysskin has started studying ardently to know the characters and plot for making an authentic film. The movie proposed will be made on a bid budget and will go to the floors once Kamal okays the final copy. It's not just Kamal but even we are eager to see him star in an epic! Aren't we? http://www.sivajitv.com/news/mysskin-is-busy-studying-literature.htm

  JJ greets Shruthi IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, September 22, 2009] Hardly had Kamal Haasan thought that his daughter will grab so much adulation. After the release of ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’ the praises and bouquets have been pouring in his Alwarpet office. Not for him, but for his daughter! Since the movie’s instant success, Kamal is over the moon, not only for his own striking performance but because of Shruthi. Shruthi Haasan’s music is speaking for herself. ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’ is not only making sounds for its story but also for its background scores too. Reports had it that Kamal Haasan Fans’ Club has bestowed the title of ‘Isai Devadai’ on Shruthi. Moreover, Ex. CM J. Jayalalitha conveyed her wishes to the young music composer. It is said that Jayalalitha personally spoke to Shruthi over the phone, for almost ten minutes! A rare appraisal, believed to be for the first time from the political side. As a father, Kamal Haasan thoroughly believed his daughter’s talent and so he gave her a chance in ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’. However, when he launched her as a music director for this one, he had initial apprehension as to how the audience will accept her modern styled music. And now, all the acclaims and congratulatory wishes have put Kamal’s mind to rest. Shruthi has truly surpassed her Appa’s expectations and that of people’s too. Well done Shruthi!

  Quote:

  INTERVIEW/KAMAL HAASAN I did make compromises as an actor How has the 50-year journey been? I would have still completed 50 years even if I had quit acting after Kalathur Kannamma. My celebration lies in continuing my work. When I look back, it reminds me of the time wasted. My journey is still on. It is not wise to turn back. I want to look forward. Are you satisfied? I am content in the way I have been treated by others. Sometimes, I wonder if I deserve the accolades and affection poured on me. That makes me both guilty and responsible. But I am not content with what I have done. I need to do more. 6:04 pm (5 hours ago) delete ஷங்கர் "உலகம்" Tamil cinema was loud when you made your entry. What response did your kind of acting elicit? There were directors who told me I should act like other stars. I am not talking about Sivaji or MGR. I have been asked to imitate my own contemporaries. “If he can act so well, can’t you?” they would ask me. It was K. Balachander who identified the performer in me and encouraged me to cultivate my own style. I would say he invented me. You did some meaty commercial films in your early twenties. I did make compromises as an actor. I did what was demanded of me. I needed the stature of a star, which was enabled by commercial films like Sagalakalaa Vallavan, to do what I really wanted to do. It was not necessary for me to do a film like Unnai Pol Oruvan. I did it because I wanted to do it. But if I had not done a Sagalakalaa Vallavan, you might have said that I am a good actor without market. My stature as a star has helped me try out several experiments. Do you mind being a part of movies that degrade women after doing substantial roles in heroine-oriented films like Aval Appadithaan? Do you think Silk Smitha was not a thinking actor? We have to remove our brains and keep them away sometimes. As I said, we did what was demanded of us. But when I do my own films, I target the audiences and not the businessmen like others do. When I write the last page of my diary, I do not want some pages to be torn before others could read it. I have always been transparent. I did commit some mistakes, but they had their own reasons. I agree the compromises were more. I would only say the fault was with the people. Your role as casting director has found a few gems. I would not say that is my talent. If I think Nasser could prove himself in comedy as much as he does in negative roles, the credit should go to Nasser. I do not hold mud to carve a clumsy idol. I carve a sculpture from a stone. I know there is a sculpture in the stone. All I need to do is remove the unwanted portion. 6:05 pm (5 hours ago) delete ஷங்கர் "உலகம்" Your projects like Maruthanayagam and Marmayogi have been dropped. When Marmayogi got dropped, I was only happy. It was good to drop it in the initial stages than to do so halfway through the film, with the kind of producer we had. But with Maruthanayagam, I will certainly take it to the viewers sometime. Many say the rebel in Kamal has a fetish for controversies. In Sabapathi, released in 1941, words considered scandalous even today were used. In Vanamohini, released in 1940, there was a kissing scene. People think I do not know history. They try to bind me in the name of culture that keeps changing periodically. There was a controversy that I stamped on Bhagawad Gita before Dasavatharam’s release. I am an atheist, yes, but I would never harm a temple or a mosque. Only believers do it. Of course, I am not going about preaching that there is no God. It is not my duty to say that something is not present. But it is my duty to point out that something should not be absent. Self-respect is essential for any person and none should lose it on account of the work one does or the street one stays. The same society, which denounces sex work, glorifies the killing of one person by another in the name of war. I think alternative voices are important in any field. I am just raising mine in my field. Yet another generation from the Haasan family is in films. When I named my daughter Shruti, my father wanted to know why. I said she would be a singer one day. My father laughed. I said she could still be Shruti even if she becomes a lawyer. Today Shruti has composed music for my film Unnai Pol Oruvan and I am very proud of her. But she needs to travel a lot. I should say I am learning a lot from Shruti. I have the sense of maturity that enables me to learn the nuances of music from Shruti. 6:06 pm (5 hours ago) delete ஷங்கர் "உலகம்" When will we get to hear from Kamal the poet? It [anthology of poems] is almost ready. I was waiting for Shruti’s audio launch to get over. The release would happen very soon. Rajini vs Kamal They are the titans of Tamil cinema. While one deviated from the path of serious acting and carved out a ‘style’ for himself that drove fans crazy, the other made sure his would be a hard act to follow. Kamal Haasan was the hero in Apoorva Raagangal, Rajinikanth’s first film. After that the duo did more than a dozen films together before mutually agreeing to stop doing films together. “There is a rivalry, yes, but not like the rivalry of football teams. We have chosen different paths, we are not in the same game at all,” says Kamal. Groomed by director K. Balachander, Rajinikant and Kamal are two distinct personalities. Kamal is a self-proclaimed rationalist as against an openly spiritual Rajinikant who spends his free time in the Himalayas. Their joint ventures were released in the 1970s and they continued to make cameo appearances in each other’s films in the 80s. Close associates say there were hiccups in the friendship, but those were handled well. Says a close friend: “They certainly did not carefully nurture a rivalry like their predecessors Sivaji and MGR. In that sense, they set an example for the next generation.”

  Kamal Hassan has dubbed a prologue for Mammootty’s MT Vasudevan Nair written Hariharan directed magnum opus Pazhassi Raja in Tamil and Shah Rukh Khan has dubbed for it in Hindi.
  
  The film is a historical on Pazhassi Raja played by Mammootty, a native king of Wynad in Malabar area of Kerala. He is said to be one of the first freedom fighters who started a guerilla war against the British.
  
  Tamil actor Sarath Kumar makes his Malayalam debut playing Edachena Kunkan, Pazhassi Raja’s ‘Thalapathy’ (Commander in Chief).
  
  Remember it was Mohanlal who introduces Pazhassi Raja to the audiences through a 45 second prologue in the Malayalam original.
  
  In the Tamil version Kamal Hassan did the prologue while Shah Rukh Khan does it in Hindi.
  
  Says one of the producers of the film Gokulam Praveen: “ Kamal sir knew the subject and he is a fan of MT Vasudevan Nair one of the greatest writers in India. In the Tamil version Jayamohan the famous Tamil writer is translating MT’s dialogues. Kamal sir went out of his way to accommodate us when we requested him to dub the prologue. His introductory voice over has made the film richer.”

  இந்த ஆண்டின் பிரமாண்ட வசூலைக் கொடுத்த படம் என்ற பெயரை உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவன் பெற்றுள்ளதாக கூறப்படுகிறது.
  
  இந்த நிலையில் கமல்ஹாசன் அடுத்த கட்ட வேலைகளுக்குப் போய் விட்டார். அடுத்து தான் நடிக்கவுள்ள படம் குறித்த விவாதத்தில் அவர் தீவிரமாகியுள்ளார்.
  
  அவரது அடுத்த படத்தை யார் இயக்கப் போவது என்பது பெரும் எதிர்பார்ப்புக்குள்ளாகியுள்ளது. மிஷ்கின்தான் அடுத்த கமல் படத்தை இயக்கப் போவதாக பரவலாக கூறப்படுகிறது. அதேசமயம், கே.எஸ்.ரவிக்குமாருடனும் கமல்ஹாசன் தீவிர ஆலோசனையில் ஈடுபட்டுள்ளாராம்.
  
  எனவே இவர்களில் யார் கமலின் அடுத்த பட இயக்குநர் என்பது எதிர்பார்ப்புக்குள்ளாகியுள்ளது.
  
  கமல்ஹாசனும் ரவிக்குமாரும் இணைந்து இதற்கு முன்பு கொடுத்த அத்தனை படங்களுமே சூப்பர் ஹிட் என்பது நினைவிருக்கலாம். கடைசியாக கொடுத்த பிரமாண்டப் படம் தசாவதாரம் .
  
  அதேசமயம், சித்திரம் பேசுதடி, அஞ்சாதே ஆகிய இரு படங்கள் மூலம் கோலிவுட்டைப் புரட்டிப் போட்டவர் மிஷ்கின். அவர் நடித்துள்ள நந்தலாலா படமும் பெரும் எதிர்பார்ப்பை ஏற்படுத்தியுள்ளது. இந்தப் படத்தை கமல் ஹாசன் பார்த்து வெகுவாகப் பார்ட்டியுள்ளார்.
  
  எனவே, இவர்களில் யார் இயக்குநரானாலும் அது நிச்சயம் ரசிகர்களுக்கு விருந்தளிக்கும் படமாகவே இருக்கும் என்பது உறுதி

  I heard news related to this from a friend in chennai.. May be a rumour.. but it is bit interesting IMO..
  
  KH had the idea of penning and directing this movie. Since his Guru Balachander is also acting it the movie, he is hesitant to direct. He checkd with KSR whether he can be the director. KSR was not committing since he have some projects going on and have some in the pipeline..

  Kamal’s offer from Walt Disney… claims damages
  Pyramid Saimira’s case against Kamal Haasan took a new twist yesterday with the actor filing a fresh petition against the production house claiming Rs. 11 crore damages with 10 per cent interest. According to Kamal Haasan, when he agreed to star in Marmayogi, he did not know that true financial status of PS. But when their cheque amounting to Rs. 1.5 crore was returned for lack of funds at the bank, Kamal said he realized that the project is in rough weathers.
  
  The actor further stated in his petition that he got an offer from Ramesh Sippy’s production house and Walt Disney, both of which he refused due to his commitments with Marmayogi. According to Kamal Ramesh Sippy’s production house he was offered Rs. 10 crores for their project. Walt Disney also offered Rs. 10 crores but increased it to Rs. 20 crores later. In spite of such excellent offers coming his way, the actor claimed that could not take it up because of Pyramid Saimira. The actor’s claim for damages will be taken up for hearing on October 9th, 2009.

  Did any one notice, in the recent Kalaignar/Vijay TV discussion with directors thalaivar happened to mention his story discussion with Crazy Mohan. Not sure if it was for some previous projects or upcoming one.
  
  This may be Kamal+KB movie, dialogues by Crazy, direction by thalaivar himself (if not KSR).

  Kamal sues Pyramid Saimira.
  By Moviebuzz | Friday, 02 October , 2009, 12:33
  
  
  Kamal Hassan has made another smart move.
  
  He has filed a suit in the Madras High Court against Pyramid Saimira Production International (PSPI) Limited and its director KS Srinivasan, seeking a compensation of “Rs 11 crore with interest for the loss suffered due to the restrictions on him by an MOU with PSPI”.
  
  Kamal’s argument is that at a time when he was getting good offers, the contract with PSPI binded him to it thereby loosing financially. If PSPI had not restricted him, he could have done other films and gained financially.
  
  The suit made it clear by not revealing their true financial position the company had caused a personal loss of Rs 40 crore to him.
  
  Kamal also filed an application seeking an interim injunction that restrains PSPI from making any statement relating to the agreement to anyone without the courts permission.
  
  Kamal had also furnished a bank guarantee for Rs 3.91 crore in another case with PSPI before the release of Unnaipol Oruvan.

  Mohan Lal wants to work with Kamal again
  
  By Sampurn
  Sep 30, 2009, 06:51
  
  
  The most happening actors of Indian film industry had spelled the most overpowering performance with “Unnai Pol Oruvan’ (remake of “A Wednesday’). Indeed, the film critics and trade analysts have strongly admitted that “UPO’ has overshadowed “A Wednesday’ in more panoramas.
  
  Accordingly, much elated with the film’s success both Kamal Haasan and Mohan Lal cannot stop singing praises of each other’s performance. In an interview, Mohan Lal has stated that Kamal Haasan is a wonderful actor and deserves more appreciation than he has been endowed now.
  
  “I am really interested in working with him for more projects in future’ adds Mohan Lal who enacted the role of Anupam Kher in this remake.

  Kamal is trying to disprove lot of his critics these days. Kamal was always blamed for taking more scope in the movies before. He is trying to correct all mistakes(may be unknowingly happend). Good sign. Hopefully he will bring back his dream projects Marudhanayagam and Marma yogi. As a cinema fan i am waiting for those.

  Kamal Haasan | An uncommon man
  
  Kamal Haasan talks about Hindi films, language, politics and ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’
  
  

  Lounge wrote:

  In 50 years in the film industry, Kamal Haasan has acted in around 150 films, put on the director’s hat and excelled as a producer, playback singer, choreographer and lyricist. He’s won four National Awards, and held a Guinness World Record for his 10 roles in Dasavatharam. In his latest film, Unnaipol Oruvan(Eenadu in Telugu), a remake of the 2008 Hindi film A Wednesday, the spectre of terrorism looms over Chennai instead of the original’s Mumbai as an unprepared police department deals with red tape, political lethargy and the alien nature of a threat that “only ever happens in the north of the country”. Haasan spoke to Lounge over the phone on the eve of the film’s release. Edited excerpts: Why did you choose to remake ‘A Wednesday’, and what has changed in translation? This is something I felt was a salute to your peer. When I saw the original film, so many ideas came to my head, and I felt good things should be passed on. The content itself is not new; we have added certain things that were not there in the original without disturbing the pace of the film. I wanted to make this with greater equipoise than the original—the common man should have equilibrium, not just anger at a community. Both sides always have conflicting stories. A clash is never possible without involvement from both sides. To me, it was also about adapting it for a different audience. We have regionally different politics. The “national agenda”, even during a general election, is never singular. The only unifying things are religion and ahimsa (non-violence), which Gandhiji preached. The other thing now, unfortunately, is himsa (violence) or terrorism. My film takes a dig at this, at the complacence of “Oh, it’s happening in Mumbai. So what?” My film gets very angry at that kind of attitude. This is a morning alarm and we have to make it ring while it’s still morning. All of this is redundant at twilight. You’ve worked in many regional films, and in a number of multilingual films. How important do you think language is in building an identity for Indian cinema? Language is very important, and this is another area of complacence that comes often from the north of the country… I love the language, but the myopia of Hindi and the Hindi film industry is unacceptable to me. This is a larger nation. It is knit together. You cannot bring a monoculture into it and impose it. I think all actors should understand the strength of working in different languages. Of course, there’s the attraction of more money, but this, to me, is a very fulfilling way of expanding your audience. How did working in multiple languages help you grow as a performer? It makes an artist understand how big and how accommodating the country is, given a chance. India is a country where you have to take a linguistic passport every time you cross 300km on the map. Art should transcend these borders. My so-called “Bharat darshan (discovery of India)” came through my work. It’s a travel worth its while. Do you see mainstream cinema transcending these borders? Yes. This was an attempt, even way back, by people like V. Shantaram. You can see in his work attempts to put characters from all over the country. It seems to be happening again now. It’s not the pop singer, the ma, the beti, the lame sister and vengeance any more. All that has changed. I was a caustic critic of these themes being regurgitated again and again. You can’t strategically place an Amar, Akbar and Anthony any more. You must have reasons to put them there. They must have greater dimensions to their characters. And that is happening. Could you give us a few examples? I’m seeing it in the work of people like Vishal Bhardwaj, who tries it very subtly and effectively, and Ashutosh Gowariker. It’s not propagandist. It’s a passionate plea to be inclusive and isn’t rhetoric alone. The whole “Gaana nahi hai, fight nahi hai (There are no songs, no fights)” is going away, and audiences are taking this in their stride. I’m enjoying watching Hindi films now. Over the years, you’ve played characters from across the political spectrum, from a Communist to an anarchist. Which one is the real Kamal Haasan? Sometimes these are mere roles. Do you think all the actors on television believe in the products that they’re selling? If they do, then I believe in all my roles too. What I believe is probably close to Anbe Sivam, and probably close to Virumaandi. In Dasavatharam, I played the role of a priest…which I don’t believe in, personally. I’m not agnostic or an atheist, I’m a rationalist. Are there particular political themes that you try to explore? I’m not a political commentator, but I’m very sure that we have not reached the “ism” that is the panacea for all evils. We may be the world’s largest democracy, but the democracy of ancient Greece, the republic of Rome, then later the founding of America—these are all different beasts. We are in the process of evolving systems: So, I ask why stick to it and make a dogma or a diktat out of it. When people dismiss an ideology, when they say, for example, “There goes communism”, I ask “Why?” Karl Marx has done his bit. It’s part of a continuous evolution. We are yet to arrive at the promised land, and I’m glad. The ascent of man has happened because of this continuous evolution, and not because of diktats that we believe are the final word. That is why you see me playing various parts: to find the logic in each argument. I’m only a spectator, not a legislator. Unnaipol Oruvan is currently running in theatres. krish.r@livemint.com

  i have lived all my life in India and hindi, language or Hindi films were never imposed on me..........i have proudly displayed my south indian credentials wherever i go in the country and nobody has tried to change me.......infact, me and a malayalee friend of mine entered Mumbai on the same day and left almost the same month 7 yrs later - he survived aLL his 7 yrs in Mumbai in English without problems.....there were sarcastic comments on why he couldnt pick up hindi but they were largely harmless.......i'm not saying India is a liberal country but the oppression, suppression, imposition are happening on economic and religious basis, not at regional/linguistic basis.......
  
  reg, rediff buffoons, handful of bloggers trying hard on south hatred, and the bollywood gang which calls itself Indian film industry are totally harmless and blown out of proportions.............Hindi imposition is just a myth ......

  Mddy, that's a naïve view. Even now, up north, making hindi the official ntl lng is an agenda. Mumbai is different - mumbai is not hindi heartland. Kamalhassan is not a fool - he knows what he is talking about.
  
  Infact, I'd argue that the south bombayfication of bollywood is an even greater evil. Bollywood is truly liberal when a movie like namesake - and I'm not talking about its quality - can be mainstream and be comfortable in its bangla skin.
  
  I don't know why yoy try to whitewash this whole "hindi is not being imposed". There are amit123s all around me and as I said before, these are dangerous not because the seek to violently impose but because they inherently believe its their birthright to expect others to speak hindi. It is a very naïve "tumhare log hindi kyon nahin bol sakte yaar - tum to acche se baat kar lete ho". Remember that I am talking about relatively liberal fellers here - ivangale ippdinnaa, what about the fanatic from gangetic plains? Poosanikaai, asoru, maraithal.

  Appo ok, atleast I get a context for your stand
  
  The kind of fanaticism you are talking about is reprehensible. I think a lot of us have personal experiences w.r.t "you are not indian if you don't speak hindi" so I guess you can understand where we come from. Pls do note that my personal anger doesn't come not from lack of hindi knowledge but from "tum to achche baat kar lete ho yaar but tunhare log...". I always knew hindi even before meeting a north indian thanls to dd. So, I'm usually met with "never thought you were south indian, you speak such flawledd hindi". So, my anger is not even personal - it is a much more thoughtful anger coming from the attempted marginalisation of a section, even though I will never be personally affected by it - thanks to my skin color and knowledge of that language, I easily pass off for a north indian. I'd direct the same anger at those tamilians who made you feel like an outsider. I acknowledge that such people exist, even if in smaller numbers and without the official machinery by their side.

He is a very good guy and also one of the topmost officials of the training centre...I was surprised that he thinks Hindi is a national language..ennatha solla...

  
  
  This is a copy paste from an email that I sent to one of my friends just few weeks back. I am sure you can easily figure out what was the comment. I would say that to anyone that claims Hindi is the national language:

  Next time check your facts before saying things that you don’t know.
  
  “Neither the Constitution of India, nor any Indian law defines any national language.”

Recently I was invited to dinner at an Indian colleagues house and there was a another invitee who holds a very senior position at the Indian Embassy here in Myanmar. There was also a burmese family. When discussing about Indian languages the Embassy guy was explaining the Burmese family that Hindi is the national language of India. nAn koncha nEram poRumaiyA wait paNNi pArthEn and could not control beyond a certain point and I had to go ahead and explain that he was not right.

  நான் சொல்ல வந்தது பொதுவான ஒரு கருத்து ..உதாரணமாக இந்தித் திணிப்பை பற்றி பேசும் போது சிலர் கருணாநிதி அவர் மருமகனை இந்தி படிக்க வச்சார் , மச்சானை படிக்க வச்சார் ..அதனால இந்தித் திணிப்பு எதிர்ப்பு தப்பு என்பார்கள் .. இந்தித் திணிப்பு சரியா இல்லையா என்பது அவனவன் சுய அறிவோடு பார்க்க வேண்டிய விடயம் ..கருணாநிதி சொன்ன சொல் மாறி விட்டார் என்பதால் ,அல்லது வழி மாறி விட்டார் என்பதால் (உதாரணம் தான்) இந்தி திணிப்பு எதிர்ப்பின் தார்மீக நியாயம் மாறி விடாது ..இப்படி சொல்பவர்கள் தான் கருணாநிதியை authority ஆக்குகிறார்கள் ..என்னைப் போன்றவர்கள் அல்ல.

  It’s celebration time as we announce the successful participants of the Behindwoods contest that promised winners a meeting with Kamal Haasan and an exclusive chat session with him. As part of the celebrations of Kamal’s 50 years in Tamil cinema, Behindwoods organized a contest for college students and office goers recently. With the release of Unnaipol Oruvan coinciding with the celebrations, we decided to arrange for a special screening of the movie for the winners as well.
  
  After receiving an overwhelming response, the winners were zeroed in on to 70. Accordingly, a special show is arranged for 70 successful participants at the Satyam Theatre tomorrow, October 4, 2009. The interactive session with Kamal will take place on Monday, October 5, 2009 where the winners can get close to the Ulaga Nayagan.

  "Sivaji Ganesan set lofty standards": Kamal Haasan
  October 5, 2009
  
  In his inspiring speech, Universal Star Kamal Haasan said that he was privileged to be seated on the dais at the function in Madurai marking the unveiling of the 8.5' bronze statue of thespian actor Sivaji Ganesan.
  
  Kamal said that he not only learned acting from Sivaji, but also the finer qualities which a human being should possess. “Actors of my ilk are inspired by the Himalayan heights he had set. Our biggest motivation is to be acting in the same century. I always think of Sivaji's face while trying to give perfection to a shot,” said Kamal Haasan.

  ரஜினியைப் பற்றி கமல் சவால்!
  
  இப்படி ஒரு விழா இதுவரை தமிழகத்தில் நிகழ்ந்தது இல்லை!
  
  அரங்கமெல்லாம் மக்கள் வெள்ளம், ஆறரை மணி நேரம், ரஜினி முதல் ரஹ்மான் வரை, பாலசந்தர் முதல் இளையராஜா வரை, மம்மூட்டி முதல் மோகன்லால் வரை ஒட்டுமொத்தத் தென்னிந்திய சினிமா நட்சத்திரங்கள். கமல்ஹாசன் என்பதாலேயே இது சாத்தியமாகி இருக்கிறது. கமல் 50 தொடரும் ஒரு சரித்திரம் என்ற கமலின் கலையுலகப் பொன்விழாவை சென்னை நேரு உள் விளையாட்டு அரங்கத்தில் விஜய் டி.வி. நிகழ்த்திய விதம் வியப்பூட்டியது!
  
  
  
  பாலசந்தரின் பாதம் தொட்டு ஆசி வாங்கிய கமலை, கட்டிப் பிடித்துக்கொண்டார் ரஜினி. பதிலுக்கு கமல் ரஜினிக்கு முத்தம் கொடுக்க, அருகில் இருந்த நடிகைகளிடம், ''உங்களுக்குக் கொடுத்த முத்தங்களைவிட இந்த முத்தம்தான் பெஸ்ட்!'' என்று ரசித்துச் சிரித்தார்!
  
  
  
  நெகிழ்வாய் இருந்தார் கே.பாலசந்தர் ''கமலுக்கு நான்தான் குருனு எல்லாரும் சொல்றாங்க. ஆனா, என் இடத்தில் ஒரு குப்பனோ சுப்பனோ இருந்திருந்தால்கூட கமல் இந்த உயரத்தைத் தொட்டிருப்பார். அவர் ஒரு யுக புருஷன். 'தசாவதாரம்' வரை சாதித்துவிட்டார். அதையெல்லாம் மிஞ்ச அடுத்து என்ன செய்யப்போகிறார் என்பதுதான் என் கவலை. கமல் அதையும் மிஞ்சிக் காட்டுவார். அவர் என்றுமே 'மை டியர் ராஸ்கல்'தான்!'' என்றார் உணர்வுபூர்வமாக.
  
  ராதிகா பின்னிவிட்டார். ''காதல் காட்சிகளில் நடிக்கும்போது கமல் உண்மையிலேயே காதலிக்கிற மாதிரியே இருக்கும். ஆனா, ஹீரோயின்களுக்குப் பதிலா அங்கே ஒரு எருமை மாடு இருந்தாக்கூட அதையும் இவர் காதலோடு பார்ப்பார்னு அப்புறம்தான் எனக்குப் புரிஞ்சது!'' என்றவர், கமலுடன் நடித்த ஹீரோயின்கள் 12 பேரை மேடையேற்றினார். அப்போது கமல் ''சினிமாவில் ஹீரோ - ஹீரோ யின் காதல் பண்றதை வெளியே இருக்கிறவங்க பொறாமையாப் பார்ப்பாங்க. ஆனா, அதுல இருக்கிற கஷ்டம் எங்களுக்குத்தான் தெரியும். பல சமயம் ஹீரோயின்களைத் தம் பிடிச்சுத் தூக்க முடியாமக் கீழே போட்டிருக்கேன்!'' என்றார். உடனே ராதிகா, ''அப்படி எத்தனை பேரைப் போட்டிருக்கீங்க?'' என்று அப்பாவியாகக் கேட்க, முதலில் அதிர்ந்து பிறகு குபீரெனச் சிரித்துவிட்டார் கமல் (மொத்த அரங்கமுமே!) ''இல்லைங்க, நான் போட்டது கொஞ்ச பேரைத் தான். தானா கீழே விழுந்தவங்கதான் நிறைய!'' என்று 'ஒரு பொருட் பன்மொழி'யாகச் சமாளித் தார் கமல்.
  
  ஹீரோயின்கள் சங்கமம் முடிந்தவுடன் சர்ப்ரைஸ் ஷாக் கொடுத்தது பிரபுதேவா. ''கமல் சாருக்காக நடக்கும் விழாவில் அப்பாவோடு சேர்ந்து ஆடணும்னு தோணுச்சு. அப்பாகிட்ட கேட்டேன். 'எனக்கு உடம்பு சரியில்லையே டா'ன்னாரு. 'அப்பா... கமல்ப்பா'ன்னேன். உடனே 'ஓ.கே!' சொல்லிட்டாரு!'' என்றவர், தன் அப்பா மாஸ்டர் சுந்தரத்துடன் 'காசு மேல காசு வந்து' எனத் தொடங்கி ஏழெட்டுப் பாடல்களுக்குக் கலக்கல் காக்டெயில் நடனம் ஆடினார். பாடலுக்கு இடையே ஒற்றை ரோஜாவை கமலிடம் பிரபுதேவா கொடுக்க, கட்டியணைத்து நெகிழ்ந்தார் கமல்.
  
  
  
  மலையாள தேசத்தில் இருந்து மம்மூட்டி, ''கமல், எங்கள் மண்ணுக்கும் சொந்தக்காரர். எனக்கும் கமலுக்கும் ஒரு சவால் இருக்கிறது. நானும் அவரும் இதுவரை சிறந்த நடிப்புக்காக ஆளுக்கு மூன்று தேசிய விருதுகள் வாங்கியிருக்கோம். நான்காவது முறையா விருது வாங்கப்போவது யார் என்பதில் எங்கள் இருவருக்கும் ஆரோக்கியமான போட்டி நடக்கிறது!'' என்று முடித்தார்.
  
  மைக் பிடித்தார் ரஜினி. சட்டென அரங்கில் ஓர் அமைதி. '' 'அபூர்வ ராகங்கள்' படத்துக்குப் பிறகு மூணு படங்களில் நானும் கமலும் சேர்ந்து நடிச்சோம். அப்பவே ஃபீல்டுல கமல் பெரிய பிஸ்தா. 'இந்தப் படத்துல ரஜினியைப் போட வேண்டாம்'னு கமல் ஒரு வார்த்தை சொல்லி இருந்தார்னா, கண்டிப்பா எனக்கு அந்த வாய்ப்புகள் மறுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும். ஆனா, கமல் அப்படிச் சொல்லலை. கமல்தான் என்னோட கலையுலக அண்ணா.
  
  நீங்களெல்லாம் கமல் படங்களைப் பார்த்து நடிக்கக் கத்துக்கிட்டேன்னு சொன்னீங்க. நான் கமல் நடிக்கிறதையே பார்த்துப் பார்த்து நடிக்கக் கத்துக்கிட்டவன். 'அவர்கள்' படத்தோட ஷூட்டிங் நடந்துட்டு இருக்கும்போது எனக்கு ஷாட் இல்லைன்னா, நைஸா செட்டைவிட்டு வெளியே கிளம்பிடுவேன். ஒருநாள் கே.பி சார், 'எங்கேடா போற... தம்மடிக்கவா?'ன்னு கேட்டார். எதுவும் சொல்லாம நின்னேன். 'உள்ளே போடா. கமல்னு ஒருத்தன் அங்கே நடிச்சுட்டு இருக்கான்ல. அவனைப் பாருடா. அவன் எப்படி நடிக்கிறான்னு பாரு. கொஞ்சமாச்சும் கத்துக்கோ'ன்னு சொன்னாரு. அதுக்கப்புறம் கமல் நடிக்கும்போது நான் வெளியே போனதேஇல்லை.
  
  கமல் மட்டும் எப்படி இப்ப டின்னு நான் அடிக்கடி யோசிப்பேன். அதுக்குக் காரணம், அவருக்கு கலைத்தாயின் அம்சம் இருக்கு. அதனால்தான் கலைத்தாயே அவரைப் பல ரூபங்களில் ரசிக்கிறாள். இங்கே நான், மோகன்லால், மம்மூட்டி, வெங்கடேஷ், சரத்குமார் மாதிரியானவங்களை கலைத் தாய் கையைப் பிடிச்சு அழைச்சுட்டுப் போறா. ஆனா, கமலை மட்டும் தோள்ல தூக்கிவெச்சு மார்போடு அணைச்சுட்டுப் போறா. நான் கலைத் தாய்கிட்டே கேட்டேன், 'ஏம்மா... இது உனக்கே நியாயமா? நாங்களும் உன் குழந்தைங்கதானே? அப்புறம் ஏன் இந்தப் பாரபட்சம்?'னு. அதுக்கு கலைத் தாய், 'ரஜினி! நீ போன ஜென்மத்துலதான் நடிகனாகணும்னு ஆசைப்பட்டே. ஆனா, கமல் ஒரு ஜென்மத்துல டான்ஸ் மாஸ்டர், இன்னொரு ஜென்மத்துல அசிஸ்டென்ட் டைரக்டர், வேறொரு ஜென்மத்துல நடிகர், இன்னும் ஒரு ஜென்மத்துல டைரக்டர்னு கடந்த 10 ஜென்மங்களாப் போராடிட்டு இருக்கான். அதனாலதான் கமலைத் தோளில்வெச்சுக் கொண்டாடு றேன்!'ன்னு சொன்னா. கமல் வாழ்ந்த காலத்தில், கமல் நடித்த காலத்தில், நானும் வாழ்ந்தேன், நானும் நடித்தேன்கிற பெருமையே எனக்குப் போதும்!'' என்று படபடவெனப் பேசி ரஜினி அமர, அரங்கமே ஒரு கணம் ஸ்தம்பித்து, சுதாரித்து, கைத்தட்டல்களால் பிரதேசத்தையே அதிரவைத்தனர்.
  
  ஏற்புரைக்கு எழுந்த கமல் முகத்தில் அத்தனைக் கலவையான உணர்ச்சிகள். ''இங்கே வர்றதுக்கு முன்னாடி ரெண்டு விஷயங்களை முக்கியமா முடிவு பண்ணிட்டு வந்தேன். 'சுருக்கமா பேசணும்... அழாமப் பேசணும்'னு. ஆனா, அது ரெண்டுமே சாத்தியமில்லைன்னு நினைக்கிறேன்.
  
  
  
  நான் சினிமாவுக்குள் நுழைந்தபோது போட்டுவெச்சிருந்த லிஸ்ட்ல என்னென்ன செஞ்சிருக்கோம்னு பார்க்கும்போது முழுசா எதுவுமே முடிக்கலைன்னு தோணுது. பாதியைக்கூட இன்னும் செய்யலை. இது அவையடக்கம் இல்லை... உண்மை! எனக்கான நேரம் குறைவு, செய்ய வேண்டிய வேலை அதிகம் இருப்பதை இந்த விழா உணர்த்துகிறது.
  
  சினிமாவில் என்னையும் ரஜினியையும் போல நண்பர்கள் யாரும் கிடையாது. ஒரு சக நடிகனைப்பத்தி ஒரு பொது மேடையில் மனசுவிட்டு எவன் இப்படிப் பேசுவான்? அந்த மனசு ரஜினிகிட்ட இருக்கு. தன்னைத் தாழ்த்தி என்னை உயர்த்திப் பேசி இருக்காரு. நான் ஒரு சவால் விடுறேன். தமிழ் சினிமாவில் ரெண்டு ஹீரோக்கள் இருந்தாங்கடா. கமல் - ரஜினின்னு. அவங்களைப் போல நட்பு சினிமாவில் யார்கிட்டே இருக்குன்னு சொல்லுங்க பார்ப்போம். நிச்சயம் அப்படி யாரும் இருக்க மாட்டாங்க. இதுக்கு முன்னாடியும் கிடையாது... இனிமேலும் அப்படி ஒரு நட்பு யார்கிட்டயும் துளிர்க்காது. அவர் தான் யார் என்பதைத் தேடி இமயமலைக்குப் போறார். நான் இங்கே அலைஞ்சுட்டு இருக்கேன்.
  
  நான் கடவுள் இல்லைன்னு சொல்லலை. இருந்தால் நல்லா இருக்குமேன்னுதான் சொல்றேன். நான் வளர்த்தாலும் என் மகள் ஸ்ருதி ஆத்திகம் பேசுபவள். கோயிலுக்குச் செல்கிறாள். பொட்டு வைத்துக்கொள்கிறாள். சமயங்களில் எனக்கும் வைத்துவிடுகிறாள். ஆனால், அதை நான் அழிக்க மாட்டேன். அன்பு கருதி அழிப்பதில்லை. அந்த அன்புதான் உங்களை இங்கு வரவழைத்திருக்கிறது. நான் தந்தையாக மதிக்கும் சிவாஜி, நாகேஷ் இங்கு இல்லை. அவர்களுக்கு நிகராக நீங்கள் இருக்கிறீர்கள். தயவுசெய்து மேடைக்கு வாருங்கள். குரூப் போட்டோ எடுத்துக்கொள்வோம். அதை என் வீட்டில் மாட்டிவைக்கணும்!'' என்று திரைத் துறையினரை மேடைக்கு அழைத்த கமல், ஒரு கணம் யோசித்தார். பிறகு தடாலென மேடையில் மண்டியிட்டு கூட்டத்தினை நோக்கி வணங்கினார்.
  
  அந்த மகா கலைஞனுக்கு வேறு என்ன செய்து தன் நன்றியைத் தெரிவிப்பது என்று தெரியவில்லை!

  கமல்-விஜயகாந்த்துக்கு பத்திரிக்கையாளர்கள் பாராட்டு
  
  நடிகர் சங்கக் கண்டனக் கூட்டத்தில் கலந்து கொள்ளாமல் துணிச்சலாக புறக்கணித்த கலைஞானி கமல்ஹாசன் மற்றும் சங்கக் கூட்டத்தில் மிகவும் நிதானமாகவும், தாறுமாறாக யாரையும் சாடாமலும் பேசிய விஜயகாந்த்துக்கும் பத்திரிக்கையாளர்கள் மத்தியில் நல்ல வரவேற்பு கிடைத்துள்ளது. கூடவே சிறிய நடிகராக இருந்தாலும், மிகத் தெளிவாக பேசிய தாமுவுக்கும் பத்திரிக்கையாளர்கள் பாராட்டு மழை பொழிந்து வருகின்றனர்.
  
  நடிகர் சங்கக் கண்டனக் கூட்டத்தில், உச்ச நடிகர்கள் முதல் சிறிய நடிகர்கள் வரை சரமாரியாக பேசித் தள்ளினர். பத்திரிக்கையாளர்களை மட்டுமின்றி அவர்களது ஆயா வரை போய் ஆபாசமாக பேசினார் விவேக்.
  
  இதனால் பத்திரிக்கையாளர்கள் மத்தியில் பெரும் கொந்தளிப்பும், கோபமும் நிலவுகிறது. இருந்தாலும் சேற்றில் மலர்ந்த செந்தாமரையாக சில நடிகர்களை நினைத்து அவர்கள் மகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்துள்ளனர், மனம் விட்டுப் பாராட்டியுள்ளனர்.
  
  அந்த நடிகர்கள் - கமல்ஹாசன், விஜயகாந்த், தாமு. இவர்களில் கமல்ஹாசன் இந்தக் கூட்டத்துக்கே வர முடியாது என்று தில்லாக கூறி விட்டாராம். எதற்காக இந்தக் கூட்டம் என்றும் கேட்டு தன்னைத் தேடி வந்தவர்களை திருப்பி விட்டாராம்.
  
  அவசரப்படாமல், புத்திக்கு வேலை கொடுத்து கமல்ஹாசன் செயல்பட்டுள்ளது உண்மையில் பாராட்டப்பட வேண்டியதே.
  
  அதேபோல விஜயகாந்த் இந்தக் கூட்டத்துக்கு வந்திருந்தார். சுருக்கமாக பேசினார், சரியாகப் பேசினார், நிலை தடுமாறாமல் பேசினார். நடிகர் சங்க உறுப்பினர் என்ற வகையில் அந்த வட்டத்துக்குள் நின்றபடி, தனது தகுதி, தரம் ஆகியவற்றைக் கருத்தில் கொண்டு நிலை தடுமாறாமல் அவர் பேசி விட்டுச் சென்றார்.
  
  தங்களைப் பற்றிய விமர்சனத்திற்கு நிச்சயம் யாராக இருந்தாலும் எதிர்ப்பைக் காட்டத்தான் செய்வார்கள். அது உலக நியதி. அதேசமயம், அந்த எதிர்ப்பைக் காட்டும்போது நிதானம் மிக அவசியம் என்பதை விஜயகாந்த்தின் பேச்சு வெளி்ப்படுத்தியது. அந்த வகையில் விஜயகாந்த்துக்கும், பத்திரிக்கையாளர்கள் மத்தியில் ஏக வரவேற்பு.
  
  ஆனால் இவர்களை எல்லாம் தூக்கி சாப்பிட்டு விட்டார் தாமு. மிகச் சிறிய நடிகர்தான் தாமு. முன்னணி நடிகர்களுடன் துண்டு துக்கடா ரோல்களில்தான் இவரை திரையுலகம் பயன்படுத்தி வருகிறது. இருந்தாலும் தனது தனித்திறமையால் தனித்து ஜொலி்ப்பவர் தாமு.
  
  நடிகர் சங்கக் கூட்டத்தில் இவரும் பேசினார். ஆனால் பெரிய நடிகர்களுக்குக் கூட இல்லாத தைரியமும், நிதானமும், துணிச்சலும், புத்திசாலித்தனமும் இவரது பேச்சில் வெளிப்பட்டது.
  
  கிட்டத்தட்ட நடிகர் சங்கத்துக்கே அறிவுரை கூறுவது போல அமைந்திருந்தது அவரது பேச்சு. இப்படிப் பேசப் போக இப்போது பத்திரிக்கையாளர்கள் மத்தியில் தாமு இப்போது ஹீரோவாகி விட்டார்.
  
  நேற்று நடந்த பத்திரிக்கையாளர்கள் கூட்டத்தில் கலந்து கொண்ட பத்திரிக்கையாளர்கள் மத்தியில் இவர்களைப் பாராட்டித்தான் பேச்சு நிலவியது.

  Quote:

  Kamal wants ITIs for film technicians IndiaGlitz [Saturday, October 10, 2009] Actor Kamal Haasan on Friday urged the government to start Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) for aspiring technicians in the film industry. Speaking at the inaugural of the ninth national conference of the All India Film Employees Confederation in Chennai, he said, “Technicians should not be apprehensive of advancements in technology. All we need to do is to train ourselves to meet the challenges.” “ITIs would give necessary training to technicians. Hence the government should come forward to start training institutes to benefit film technicians,” he requested. At the evening function, where Chief Minister M Karunanidhi was felicitated with a lifetime achievement award, Kamal said he was indebted to the octogenarian in many ways. “I learnt acting only through his dialogues. His pen is still active,” he said.

  I am in Karachi now.. and this morning I was reading one of their news papers "DAWN" There was an article about an exhibition of a famous writer/artist Ayaz Jokhio (I have not heard of him before but that does not matter ). He has used newspaper collage and gloss varnish to visualise the most famous people in the world. And the article goes like this..
  
  .... Then we come to that aspect of the exhibition which was particularly heartening. Ayaz Jokhio's tribute to musician and actors. Through news paper collage, acrylic and gloss varnish on board the artist is able to come up with moving images of the giants representating the world or performance arts. There are thespians like Kamal Haasan, Sean Penn and Aamir Khan. And top notch musicians such as Bob Marley, Ustad Bimillah Khan, A R Rahman , John Lennon, Micheal Jackson and Ustad Nusrath Fateh Ali Khan.

  'கமலும் தமிழும்' விஜய் டிவி நிகழ்ச்சியில் பங்கு பெற மனுஷ்யபுத்ரன், எஸ்.ரா, பிரளயன், சேரன், சசிகுமார் போன்றோரோடு மேடையைப் பகிர்ந்து கொண்ட ஒரு வாரம் கழித்து படம் ப்ரீவ்யூவில் திரும்ப சேரனைச் சந்தித்துப் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்தேன். வயதான ஒரு தாடிக்காரரை அன்போடு கையைப் பிடித்துப் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்த கமல் என்னையும் சேரனையும் அருகே அழைத்தார்.
  
  'இதான் என் ஆருயிர் நண்பன் ஆர்.சி.சக்தி'.
  
  'உணர்ச்சிகள்', 'மனிதரில் இத்தனை நிறங்களா', 'சிறை' என்று வித்தியாசமாகத் திரைப்படங்கள்ள் கொடுத்த சக்தியை இன்று ஏறக்குறையத் தமிழ்த் திரையுலகம் மறந்து விட்டது. அவருக்கு ஒரு நஷ்டமும் இல்லை இதனால்.
  
  படம் முடிந்த பிறகு வெகுநேரம் சக்தி 'உணர்ச்சிகள்' படத்துக்காக கமல் லைட்பாய் முதல் காமிரா உதவியாளர், ஒலிப்பதிவு உதவியாளர், டைரக்ஷன் அசிஸ்டெண்ட் மற்றும் நடிகர் என்று எடுத்த தசாவதாரம் பற்றி மலரும் நினைவுகளைப் பகிர்ந்து கொண்டிருந்தார். 'எதுக்க்கு சக்தி அதெல்லாம்' என்று கமல் தடுத்தாலும், 'சும்மா இருப்பா' என்று சக்தி தொடர்ந்த வண்ணம் இருந்தார்.எதையும் எதிர்பார்க்காத நல்ல நட்பு அவருடையது. கமல் தன்னைப் பாதித்த மனிதர்கள் பட்டியலில் மறக்காமல் குறிப்பிடுவது சக்தியை, காலம் சென்ற அனந்து, நாகேஷ் ஆகியோரை..

  Start ITIs for film technicians: Kamal Haasan
  Oct 10, 2009
  
  CHENNAI: Actor Kamal Haasan requested the government to start Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) for aspiring technicians in the film industry. He was speaking at the 9th national conference of the All India Film Employees Confederation held here on Friday.
  
  Organised by the Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI), the conference had technicians from across the country participating. “Technicians should not be apprehensive of advancements in technology. All we need to do is to train ourselves to meet the challenges,” Kamal Haasan said, adding that ITIs would give necessary training to technicians.

  Kamal on why he refused Quick gun Murugan
  
  Kamal Haasan revealed that he was initially offered the lead role in Quick Gun Murugan, but he declined the same as it was not a novel concept in South India. The actor said that though some scripts are good or excellent they simply do not translate into a movie due to poor market demands. Kamal said that he regrets such situations as he could not make films that are close to his heart.
  
  He was quoted as saying, “I would rate that as one of the biggest regrets of my life. Over the years, I have liked many scripts but they just couldn’t materialize into films. I feel sad that many times I couldn’t do films due to market demands; there were scripts begging to be made. I think not doing those good scripts amounts to infanticide.”

  Eh ? I understand the sendimend, but in the context of Murugan ??
  First, kamal is the opposite of the stereotype, so even with the cross-casting it doesn't seem to fly.
  Secondly, was it such a koot film ?

  I am quite suprised to see the fan following here in Karachi for KH. Where ever I go - malls, markets, etc etc - they start speaking in Urdiu thinking that I am from Pak and when I say I am from Sri Lanka and my language is Thamizh - they immediately ask about two things - one is an obvious question of SL ethnic issue and other one is Thamizh movies and Kamal Haasan. Who ever I have spoken to had told me that they are fans of KH and some say he is the best actor ever. And they go on listing down his movies and roles. Surprisingly they talk a lot about Hey Ram and Mumbai Express. A friend of my colleague was telling me yesterday that he liked ME a lot and I told him it was a flop in India. And I told him even HR didnt do well in BO. He said HR is unmatchable and a classic and ME is one of the best comedies he had enjoyed.

  I had a kind of similar experience as well... I used to have a couple of Pakistani friends long time back (late 90's that is). When I said I'm from Chennai, the only names they could recognize was Kamal Haasan & A.R. Rehman. I remember watching "Taal", "Mohabatein" etc. with them. Then they really insisted to watch a Kamal Haasan movie someday. We watched Thenali on DVD. They enjoyed every bit of it and said is there anyone else from your country can ever act like this man? The name Kamal Haasan commands awe and respect, even from the outsiders that is!

  கமல் வேட்டையில் புத்தனின் பல்!
  
  பல் எங்கே இருக்கிறது?
  
  
  
  கி.மு. 500-ம் நூற்றாண்டில் புத்தர் இறந்தவுடன் அவரது சீடர்கள் புத்தரின் உடலை எரித்துவிட்டார்கள். புத்தரின் பெண் சீடரான கீமா என்பவர் மட்டும், புத்தரின் நினைவாக ஒரே ஒரு பல்லை எடுத்துவைத்துக்கொண்டார். அந்தப் பல்லை அப்போதைய கலிங்கத்து மன்னன் (இப்போதைய ஒரிஸ்ஸா) பிரம்மதாத்திக்கு அன்புப் பரிசாகக் கொடுத்தார்.
  
  'புத்தரின் பல் எந்த நாட்டில் இருக்கிறதோ, அங்கே மழை பெய்யும். செல்வம் கொழிக்கும். சுபிட்சம் வரும்' என்று சென்டிமென்ட்கள் பரவ ஆரம்பிக்கின்றன. வறட்சியில் வறளும் பல அரசர்கள், புத்தரின் பல்லைக் குறிவைக்கிறார்கள். கலிங்கத்தின் மேல் போர் தொடுக்கிறார்கள். அமைதி படிக்கச் சொன்ன புத்தனின் பல்லுக்காகப் பல்லாயிரம் உயிர்கள் மடிகின்றன. புத்தரின் பல் பல அரசுகளின் கைமாறிச் சென்றுகொண்டே இருக்கிறது.
  
  புத்தர் இறந்து 800 ஆண்டுகள் கழித்து, மீண்டும் கலிங்க நாட்டுக்கு வருகிறது புத்தரின் பல். அப்போது கலிங்கத்தின் அரசனாக இருப்பவர் குஹசீவா. இந்தப் பல்லால் தன் நாட்டில் பல அதிசயங்கள் நிகழ்வதாக நம்புகிறார் குஹசீவா. தகவல் வெளியே பரவி, மீண்டும் பல்லுக்காகப் பல போர்கள் ஆரம்பிக்கின்றன. பல்லைக் காப்பாற்ற குஹசீவா, தன்னுடைய மகள், மருமகனிடம் பல்லைக் கொடுத்து இலங்கைக்கு அனுப்பிவைக்கிறார். இலங்கை ராஜா குஹசீவாவின் குடும்பத்தை ராஜ மரியாதையோடு வரவேற்று, பல்லை வாங்கிக்கொள்கிறார். இன்றும் புத்தரின் பல் இலங்கை கண்டியில் உள்ள புத்த மதக் கோயிலில் பத்திரமாக இருப்பதாகச் சொல்லப்படுகிறது.
  
  இதுதான் புத்தரின் பல் வரலாறு. சரி, அதற்கு என்ன என்கிறீர்களா? 'இந்த பல் கதையைத்தான் மிஷ்கின் இயக்க, கமல் நடிக்க இருக்கிறார்' என கோடம்பாக்கம் முழுக்கக் கதைகள். கமல் இந்தக் கதையில் என்ன வேஷத்தில் நடிக்கப் போகிறார் என்பது சஸ்பென்ஸ்!
  
  எதுவாக இருந்தாலும், 'புத்தம் சரணம் கச்சாமி!'

He gave it as a gift to King of Kalinga. Which country holds the teeth was cherished well. So every king attacked kalinga country to capture the teeth. Several thousands of people killed in the battle. The teeth was travelling several countries. After 800 years passed from the demise budha, the teeth was back in Kalinga country. Several wonders happend after this. This was the belief of the king. Again wars started for this 'teeth' The king gave it to his daughter & son-in-law & sent them to SriLanka. SL king welcomed it. Now the Budha's teeth is in Kandy. This is the story of KAMALJI'S next venture with Myshkin.

'புத்தரின் பல் எந்த நாட்டில் இருக்கிறதோ, அங்கே மழை பெய்யும். செல்வம் கொழிக்கும். சுபிட்சம் வரும்' என்று சென்டிமென்ட்கள் பரவ ஆரம்பிக்கின்றன. வறட்சியில் வறளும் பல அரசர்கள், புத்தரின் பல்லைக் குறிவைக்கிறார்கள். கலிங்கத்தின் மேல் போர் தொடுக்கிறார்கள். அமைதி படிக்கச் சொன்ன புத்தனின் பல்லுக்காகப் பல்லாயிரம் உயிர்கள் மடிகின்றன. புத்தரின் பல் பல அரசுகளின் கைமாறிச் சென்றுகொண்டே இருக்கிறது. புத்தர் இறந்து 800 ஆண்டுகள் கழித்து, மீண்டும் கலிங்க நாட்டுக்கு வருகிறது புத்தரின் பல். அப்போது கலிங்கத்தின் அரசனாக இருப்பவர் குஹசீவா. இந்தப் பல்லால் தன் நாட்டில் பல அதிசயங்கள் நிகழ்வதாக நம்புகிறார் குஹசீவா. தகவல் வெளியே பரவி, மீண்டும் பல்லுக்காகப் பல போர்கள் ஆரம்பிக்கின்றன. பல்லைக் காப்பாற்ற குஹசீவா, தன்னுடைய மகள், மருமகனிடம் பல்லைக் கொடுத்து இலங்கைக்கு அனுப்பிவைக்கிறார். இலங்கை ராஜா குஹசீவாவின் குடும்பத்தை ராஜ மரியாதையோடு வரவேற்று, பல்லை வாங்கிக்கொள்கிறார். இன்றும் புத்தரின் பல் இலங்கை கண்டியில் உள்ள புத்த மதக் கோயிலில் பத்திரமாக இருப்பதாகச் சொல்லப்படுகிறது. இதுதான் புத்தரின் பல் வரலாறு. சரி, அதற்கு என்ன என்கிறீர்களா? 'இந்த பல் கதையைத்தான் மிஷ்கின் இயக்க, கமல் நடிக்க இருக்கிறார்' என கோடம்பாக்கம் முழுக்கக் கதைகள். கமல் இந்தக் கதையில் என்ன வேஷத்தில் நடிக்கப் போகிறார் என்பது சஸ்பென்ஸ்! எதுவாக இருந்தாலும், 'புத்தம் சரணம் கச்சாமி!' -Vikatan

  the logic beats me.
  
  as all human beings, buddha too would have had 32 teeth. since he lived, died and was buried in india, his remaining 31 teeth would have to be somewhere in india, for sure (even if buddha had dies edentulous, since he was 80 when he died). since enamel is one of the toughtest substances known and since teeth are resistant to fire, we can safely assume that his remaining teeth would still be somewhere buried in indian soil.
  
  by that logic, india should have been 31 times more peaceful and prosperous as that of srilanka. but we have 31 times more terrorist organisations here. Srilanka's per capita GDP continues to be almost twice that of India's.
  
  i think its time to find out the remaining 31 teeth, dig them out and parcel them to Srilanka; clearly, it works for them and not for us; then no point having them here

  Quote: " Story of KAMALJI's next Movie " Today released Anantha Vikatan (28.10.2009) published the Story of KAMALJI + Myshkin = Historic movie. After the death of Budha, one disciple preserved his TEETH. He gave it as a gift to King of Kalinga. Which country holds the teeth was cherished well. So every king attacked kalinga country to capture the teeth. Several thousands of people killed in the battle. The teeth was travelling several countries. After 800 years passed from the demise budha, the teeth was back in Kalinga country. Several wonders happend after this. This was the belief of the king. Again wars started for this 'teeth' The king gave it to his daughter & son-in-law & sent them to SriLanka. SL king welcomed it. Now the Budha's teeth is in Kandy. This is the story of KAMALJI'S next venture with Myshkin. get it from orkut...

  Quote:

  Kamal's tooth fairy We had written a few months ago that Kamal Haasan and Mysskin are joining hands to make a period drama. Now, the grapevine is abuzz that the film is based on the story of Lord Buddha’s tooth, which is in Kandy, Sri Lanka, in the Temple of Tooth. There are many interesting stories surrounding the legend and how Buddha’s tooth came to Sri Lanka and how many people died in the wars that were fought over it. Kamal has always wanted to make a big budget period drama, on the lines of his dream projects Marudhunayagan and Marmayogi. Meanwhile, we hear that the Ulaganayagan has gone to the US, and will be back only in the first week of November. It seems that the actor may be meeting with a couple of prospective Hollywood studio bosses to associate with this mammoth big-budget epic. Here’s looking forward to another biggie from the Kamal Haasan camp.. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/news-interviews/Kamals-tooth-fairy/articleshow/5163626.cms

  Siddharth-Shruti film starts rolling!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 28 October , 2009, 08:31
  
  
  Hero Siddharth’s fantasy film under the direction of Prakash Kovelamudi (son of K Raghavendra Rao) was launched at Ramoji Film City.
  
  Shruti Hassan is the heroine in this film. K Raghavendra Rao is making this film under ABODE (A Bellyful of Dreams Entertainment) banner. Mickey J Meyer is scoring the music.
  
  SS Rajamouli tapped the clapboard, Krish switched on the camera and K Raghavendra Rao directed the first shot.
  
  Speaking on this occasion SS Rajamouli said: "There are lots of human emotions in this film. Prakash is a talented director and he can present the film different manner".
  
  Siddharth said; I am very happy to act in a film produced by K Raghavendra Rao. Prakash is a capable director and he will take Telugu film to the international level. Prakash earlier directed the films like ‘Neetho’ in Telugu and ‘Morning Raaga’ in English. Later he directed the National Award winning ‘Bellyful of Dreams’.
  
  Prakash said: “The protagonist role of this movie needs a broad range of emotions on his face. We are planning to release comic books, games and other collections before the release of the movie so that the audience can easily understand the theme and fantasy portion of the flick”.
  
  Camera is handled by Soundar Rajan. JK Bharavi and Ramesh Samala are roped in for the dialogues department.

  Happy Birthday to Kamal Haasan
  
  By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 07 November , 2009, 10:28
  
  
  ‘Ulaga Nayagan’ Kamal Haasan will be celebrating his birthday today (November 7). The star who has been in US for the past few weeks, will be flying in to Chennai tonite.
  
  As per his media manager, his fans are planning to celebrate his birthday but incessant rains in Chennai are acting as the spoil sport. Still knowing the intensity of the deep love and dedication to their beloved Kamal sir, there will surely be some celebration.
  
  Family sources say that there are no parties or celebrations and Kamal will have a quiet dinner with his family members at home. Meanwhile the buzz is that Kamal has finalized his plans to do a historic with Mysskin which will start rolling by January.
  
  In the next few weeks the actor and the director will be finalizing the final points of the script and will also be doing casting for the film.

  http://sify.com/movies/Kamals-most-memorable-lines-imagegallery-kollywood-jlhbL2jjdfd.html
  
  Kamal's most memorable lines
  
  Punch dialogues abound in Tamil cinema. Even newcomers such as Premgi have their trademark Yenna koduma sir idhu?
  
  But one of the most brilliant aspects about Ullaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan is that he's got no punch line and that's because he's so darn versatile! But the star isn't without memorable one-liners and dialogues. He's lined our memory with sarcastic repartee, moving monologues, slapstick banter and more. Here's recalling some of our favourites!
  
  ========================================
  
  Kamal is a sworn atheist. He hints at this every chance he gets. Most recently in Dasavatharam he had us grinning at his smooth sardonicism.
  
  When Andaal (Asin) and Govind (Kamal) take a stroll on the beach after the tsunami subsides, the two confess their love for each other. On doing so, Andaal makes one request of him - that he not say that God doesn't exist. He duly apologises only to say,'Naan kadavul illanu yengenga sonen. Irundha nalla irukumdhannu sonen,' meaning 'I never said that I don't believe in God. I'm just saying it would be great if we had one.'
  
  ========================================
  
  We're not sure if it's right to call him a staunch Tamilian or a staunch linguist. He's a master of phonetics in not just Tamil but the other South Indian languages, Hindi and English as well. While we got to sample his Palakad dialect in Michael Madhan Kamarajan and his Madras Tamil Kadhala Kadhala, in Dasavatharam he treats us to Tamil in its purest form.
  
  As Rangaraja Nambi spars with the Saivite Chola King, Kulothunga Chola II, we get to hear word play at its best. The play is on the word arivom, which in Tamil means 'I know'.
  
  Kulothunga: Un Uyir povathu irundhal ullaiye poyirukum. Ramanujan irrukum idamum yaam arivom. Ramanujanai ingu varavaikkum soothiramum yaam arivom. Thenpulam engum siva namam mattume olikka vaikum suchamum yaam arivom. [If you had to die, you would've died inside itself. I know where Ramanujan is. I know how to bring him here. I also know how to make only Lord Siva's name ring across the land.]
  
  Rangaraja Nambi: Enodaya Hari un vayaalaye ethanai murai 'Hari Om', 'Hari Om' endru solla vaithan parthaya Kulothunga? [Did you see how my Hari (i.e. Lord Vishnu) made you sai 'Hari Om' several times, Kulothunga?]
  
  ========================================
  
  Kamal takes on the role of the communist and once again reiterates his stance on faith in an absolutely magnificent manner. The film is strewn with brilliant repartee between the cynical Anbarasu (Madhavan) and all-embracing Nalla Sivam (Kamal).
  
  Anbarasu: Evlavu panam koduthalum entha vasadhiyum kedaikatha naadu sir ithu.That's India for you. [No matter how much money you spend, you won't get any comforts in this country. That's India for you.]
  
  Nalla Sivam: Panam kodutha ethuvenalum vangiidalam nu nenaikravanga irukkara varaikkum that will be India for you. [As long as there are folks who think that money can buy anything, that will be India for you.]
  
  ========================================
  
  We're positive that Karl Marx would've been proud of Kamal's performance in Anbe Sivam. No one in Tamil cinema has put across the essence of communism as eloquently as Kamal's Nalla Sivam.
  
  Anbarasu: Athaan Soviet Union azhinchiduchula. Aprom yaen communism nu athaiaye pidichindrukenga. [Even the Soviet Union has crashed. Why then do you still hold on to communism?]
  
  Nalla Sivam: Ok, Mr Romeo, oru velai Taj Mahal azhinchiduchu na neenga love panratha nirithidveengala? [Ok, Mr Romeo, let's say that the Taj Mahal is destroyed. Will you stop believing in love?]
  
  Anbarasu: Clever, very clever. But Mr Sivam, love is a feeling.
  
  Nalla Sivam: Communism muthan oru feeling. Karl Marx athai pathi peasrathukku munadiyae neraiya perukku antha feeling vanthuduchhu. [Communism, too, is a feeling. It's been in existence even before Karl Marx wrote about it.]
  
  ========================================
  
  Michael Madana Kamarajan is probably one of the best comedy flicks to have maximised on Kamal's humour and how! This movie has contributed one of the most imitable line spouted by Kameshwaran, the Palakad cook: Bheem boy, Bheem boy, andha locker le irundhu aaru latchathai indha Avinashi naayin moonjiyil vitteri. I mean what I mean! [Bheem boy, Bheem boy, take six lakhs from that locker and throw it on this dog, Avinashi's face. I mean what I mean!
  
  ========================================
  
  When Mani Ratnam and Kamal come together you have a classic namely, Nayagan. When will they get back together? We don't know. But till then these lines will never grow redundant:
  
  Grandson: Neenga nallavara? Kettavara? [The grandson asks the aging Don who's awaiting the verdict that could send him to jail : Are you a good person or a bad person?]
  
  Velu Nayakar: Theriyalaye pa [I don't know]
  
  These immortal lines are etched in our memories not because of the simplicity with which it unravels human duality, the notion of black and white, but because of the way Kamal emotes them. These lines have been spoofed, mimicked, alluded to in Tamil cinema ever since.
  
  ========================================
  
  Thevar Magan, a film that showcased caste politics and brought together the legendary Shivaji Ganesan and Kamal Haasan, was a phenomenal success. The transformation the yuppy Shakthivel goes through to become the chief of the village who wants to ensure peace among the rival factions, brings about goosebumps. That's how moving it is. Nasser who has essayed the role of villain needs a special mention. His portrayal of the hedonistic, pig headed Mayan brings about grudging admiration. Everytime Shakthivel and Mayan meet, it unravels into a tense scene.
  
  Shakthivel: Maya, ennakul irukira mirugathai thatti ezhupidathe. [Maya, don't wake up the sleeping beast within me.]
  
  But probably the most poignant scene is the climax where Shakthivel wails at the blood he's been forced to spill and the spot he's been pushed into by caste wars: Podhumda, podhumda. Yethuktadha ellam podhum da. Inni oru Devar maganukum idhu nadakapudathu da. Ponga da, ponga da dei, poi vyavasayam parunga da. Pulla kutti ellam padika veyunga da. Podhum da. Idhu podhum da. [Enough, enough. None of this should happen to any of us ever again. Go do your farming. Go put your kids in school. Enough is enough.]
  
  ========================================
  
  Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu saw Kamal don the cop's uniform for the nth time. We totally love him as the stoic, law enforcer. But the one scene where women were all praise for him was when Raghavan (Kamal) rescues Aradhana (Jyothika) from her abusive husband.
  
  Raghavan: I don't like violence against women.
  
  Claps resounded all over the theatre!
  
  ========================================
  
  Short, squat do what you may, Kamal Haasan will excel in any role you throw at him regardless of how the character looks. Want proof? Take a look at 16 Vayathinile where he plays Chappani. As the village idiot with a gimpy foot he steals everyone's heart regardless of sex or age. Lines from this movie that came out in 1977, still ring out loud and clear.
  
  Chappani: Naan sandhaikku ponum...aathA vaiyum kaasu kodu [I need to go to the market...give me money or mother will yell.]

  Telugu website celebrates Kamal
  
  

  Little About wrote:

  Kamal Haasan, we want more What is the true identity of Kamal Haasan? Is he simply an actor or script writer or also a filmmaker? Well, there can’t be any precise answer to this since he is found at times in different roles and hence, the world considers him as one of the leading method actors of Indian cinema. He has been in the cinema industry of South India for decades and especially in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka he, in spite of being a Tamil star, has become a cult figure by now. Ooooooops. We have missed Superstar Rajinikanth. He is certainly an exception. Kamal’s feats have been witnessed in the Hindi cinema industry or Bollywood also. Can anyone forget his experimentations in the film “Hey Ram”? The film dealt with the changing aspects of India in and around Partition and along with it the gradual transformation of Saket Ram, the main protagonist of the film, played by one and only Kamala Haasan. Even though the film failed to have an overwhelming success in the box office, his performance was exceedingly lauded. This is Kamal Haasan, ever ready to up date himself and who has certainly not tired of experimenting even after decades of his entry into cinema. Let’s have some more info. In Universal Hero's recent film Eenadu (Unnaipol Oruvan in Tamil) Kamal is perceived to play a common man livid at the occurrence of terrorism and through own performance, he is found to add an intellectual dimension to Naseeruddin Shah's original version. There is simply no doubt as the new generation stars in Kollywood - Vijay, Ajith, Vikram and Suriya, go on to make their head way, the everlasting charm of Kamal still holds the imagination of cinegoers in Tamil Nadu. Who can forget his recent exploits in Dasavatharam? The movie saw great (perhaps the biggest) theatrical release throughout the Telugu state. He has reached the 55th year of age but is still vigorous and pledge to work more. We want him thus only.

  
  
  are Tamil stars this big in Andhra?

  கமல்ஹாஸனின் சமீபத்திய ஆசை என்ன தெரியுமா... சலங்கை ஒலி ரீமேக்கில் நடிக்க வேண்டும் என்பதே!
  
  1982-ம் ஆண்டு கே விஸ்வநாத் இயக்கத்தில், இளையராஜாவின் இசையில் உருவாகி, தரத்திலும் வசூலில் புதிய சாதனை படைத்த படம் இது.
  
  ஜெயப்பிரதா, எஸ்பி ஷைலஜா மற்றும் சரத் பாபு ஆகியோர் இந்தப் படத்தில் கமலுடன் நடித்திருந்தனர்.
  
  இந்தப்படத்தில் இடம்பெற்ற ஒவ்வொரு பாடலும் காலத்தை வென்றவை. இளையராஜாவுக்கு தேசிய விருது கிடைத்தது இந்தப் படத்துக்காக.
  
  பரத நாட்டியக் கலைஞராக அற்புதமாக நடித்திருந்தார் கமல். இந்தப் படத்தை யாராவது ரீமேக் செய்தால், தான் மீண்டும் அதே வேடத்தில் நடிக்க விரும்புவதாக கமல் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
  
  சமீபத்திய தனது பத்திரிகைப் பேட்டியொன்றில் கமல் ஹாஸன் இதுகுறித்து கூறியதாவது:
  
  சலங்கை ஒலி ஒரு சிறந்த படைப்பு. அந்தப் படத்தை இப்போது யாராவது மீண்டும் எடுத்தால், அதில் நடிக்க தயாராக இருக்கிறேன். எனக்கு 54 வயது ஆகிவிட்டதை பெரிது படுத்த வேண்டாம். வயதைத் தாண்டியது திறமை!
  
  எனது தாய் என்னை நடனகலைஞராக பார்க்க ஆசைப்பட்டார். அதற்காகத்தான் பரத நாட்டியம் கற்றேன். என் தந்தையோ மாடர்னாக வளர்க்க ஆசைப்பட்டார். இருவரது விருப்பத்தையும் நிறைவேற்றி விட்டேன். ஆனால் அதை காண்பதற்கு துரதிஷ்டவசமாக அவர்கள் இல்லை.
  
  சலங்கை ஒலி படம் என் அம்மா வை நினைவு படுத்தும் படமாக அமைந்தது. அப்படத்தில் எனது பரத நாட்டிய அரங்கேற்றத்தை பார்க்காமலேயே தாய் இறந்து விடுவார். அந்த காட்சி என் அம்மா ஞாபகமாவே அமைந்தது..." என்றார் நெகிழ்ச்சியுடன்.

  பாரதிராஜாவின் மிகப்பெரிய வெற்றிப் படங்களில் ஒன்றான சிவப்பு ரோஜாக்கள் ரீமேக் செய்யப்படுகிறது.
  
  பாக்யராஜ் கதையில், கமல் - ஸ்ரீதேவி நடிப்பில், இளையராஜா இசையில் உருவாகி, வெளியான அத்தனை மொழிகளிலும் சரித்திரம் படைத்த படம் சிவப்பு ரோஜாக்கள்.
  
  இந்தப் படத்தின் பின்னணி இசையைக் கேட்ட பாலிவுட் இசை மேதை ஆர்டி பர்மன், நிச்சயம் இதைவிட பெட்டராக என்னால் பண்ண முடியாது என்று வெளிப்படையாகக் கூறினார்.
  
  சைக்கோ பாத்திரத்தை எப்படி செய்ய வேண்டும் என இந்தப் படத்தில் கமல்ஹாஸனைப் பார்த்து கற்றுக் கொள்ள வேண்டும் இன்றைய நடிகர் கள்.
  
  இந்தப் படத்தைத்தான் மறுபடியும் ரீமேக்குகிறார்கள்.

  Telugu website celebrates Kamal Little About wrote: Kamal Haasan, we want more What is the true identity of Kamal Haasan? Is he simply an actor or script writer or also a filmmaker? Well, there can’t be any precise answer to this since he is found at times in different roles and hence, the world considers him as one of the leading method actors of Indian cinema. He has been in the cinema industry of South India for decades and especially in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka he, in spite of being a Tamil star, has become a cult figure by now. Ooooooops. We have missed Superstar Rajinikanth. He is certainly an exception. Kamal’s feats have been witnessed in the Hindi cinema industry or Bollywood also. Can anyone forget his experimentations in the film “Hey Ram”? The film dealt with the changing aspects of India in and around Partition and along with it the gradual transformation of Saket Ram, the main protagonist of the film, played by one and only Kamala Haasan. Even though the film failed to have an overwhelming success in the box office, his performance was exceedingly lauded. This is Kamal Haasan, ever ready to up date himself and who has certainly not tired of experimenting even after decades of his entry into cinema. Let’s have some more info. In Universal Hero's recent film Eenadu (Unnaipol Oruvan in Tamil) Kamal is perceived to play a common man livid at the occurrence of terrorism and through own performance, he is found to add an intellectual dimension to Naseeruddin Shah's original version. There is simply no doubt as the new generation stars in Kollywood - Vijay, Ajith, Vikram and Suriya, go on to make their head way, the everlasting charm of Kamal still holds the imagination of cinegoers in Tamil Nadu. Who can forget his recent exploits in Dasavatharam? The movie saw great (perhaps the biggest) theatrical release throughout the Telugu state. He has reached the 55th year of age but is still vigorous and pledge to work more. We want him thus only. are Tamil stars this big in Andhra?

  
  It's not that all Tamil stars are big in Andhra. Only KH has been considered a big star among Tamil actors in Andhra right from early 80's till date... "Marocharithra" effect!
  
  RK got popular in Telugu desam since "Baatsha" (and ever since he supported DMK-TMC in '96 assembly elections and raised visions of entering politics).
  
  In all, KH is a very popular 'outside' star in Kerala/Andhra & even Karnataka!

  ஒருபக்கம் நடிப்பில் பிஸியாக இருந்தாலும், மறுபக்கம் தமிழ்சினிமாவை முன்னேற்ற தேவையான தளங்களை அமைத்தல் என்று தனது பொறுப்பை மேலும் கூட்டிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார் கமல். ஐஐடி இன்ஸ்டியூட்டுடன் இணைந்து அவர் நடத்திய ஸ்கீரின் ரைட்டிங் பயிற்சி வெகு முக்கியமானதாக கருதப்பட்டது. அதை தொடர்ந்து தற்போது சினிமா வர்த்தக கருத்தக கருத்தரங்க மாநாட்டின் ஒருங்கிணைப்பாளராக பொறுப்பேற்றுக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார் கமல்.
  
  
  சென்னையில் வரும் 18, 19 ந் தேதிகளில் சென்னையில் நடைபெறும் இந்த மாநாட்டை முதல்வர் கருணாநிதி துவங்கி வைக்கிறார். இந்திய தொழில் வர்த்தக கூட்டமைப்பு வட இந்தியாவில்தான் இதுவரை மாநாடுகளை நடத்தி உள்ளது. இந்த மாநாடு சென்னையிலும் நடைபெற வேண்டும் என்று குரல் கொடுத்து வந்தார் கமல். மாநாட்டு பொறுப்பை கமலிடடே கொடுத்துவிட்டார்களாம். முதல்வரிடமும் இந்த மாநாடு குறித்து விவரித்தார் கமல். முதல் உற்சாகம் அவரிடமிருந்தே தொடங்கிவிட்டது. அரசு சார்பில் 50 லட்சம் ரூபாய் நிதியுதவி அளித்த கலைஞர், கருத்தரங்கத்தை துவங்கி வைக்கவும் சம்மதித்திருக்கிறார்.
  
  இது தொடர்பாக பத்திரிகையாளர்களை சந்தித்த கமலிடம், மாநாட்டில் ரசிகர்களுக்கு அழைப்பு உண்டா? என்ற கேள்வி எழுப்ப பட்டது. “நாங்கள்ளாம் உட்கார்ந்து கேக் செய்வது எப்படின்னு பேசுவோம். அது சரியாக இருந்து சுவையாகவும் தயாரான பிறகுதான் அவர்களுக்கு டேஸ்ட் பண்ண கொடுக்க முடியும். இந்த மாநாட்டிற்கு அவர்களுக்கு அழைப்பில்லை” என்று ‘ருசியாக’ பதிலளித்தார் கமல். “தமிழ்நாட்லே நிறைய நடிகர்களுக்கு நடிக்கவே தெரியவில்லை. அவங்களுக்கு நடிப்பு சொல்லித்தரலாமே?” என்ற இன்னொரு கேள்விக்கு கமல் உட்பட எல்லாருமே விழுந்து விழுந்து சிரித்தார்கள். அதற்கும் சீரியஸ் ஆகவே பதில் சொன்னார் கமல்.
  
  “எனக்கெல்லாம் ஒரு பாலசந்தர் சார், ஒரு சண்முகம் அண்ணாச்சி இருந்தாங்க. அவங்க சொல்லிக் கொடுத்ததை கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக கத்துகிட்டு காலத்தை நகர்த்தினோம். இன்னும் நான் கற்றுக்கொண்டுதான் இருக்கேன்” என்ற கமல், நிருபரின் கேள்விக்கு சற்று மழுப்பலாகவே பதில் சொல்லி முடித்தார்.
  
  கமல் சொன்ன இன்னொரு பதில்தான் ரசிகர்களுக்கு திருவிழா.

  what nonsense?!? the physical hardwork kamal did for dasavsatharam is a strong proof that he can still do any tough roles he did back, or equally other roles. makeup sitting ellaam vittuttaa kuda, the last fight, and fletsher's stunts is much much faster than most of the current gen heros' stunts.

While confirmed announcement is yet to come on this, it has been discussed in Kollywood circles that Kamal might team up with director Balu Mahendra for a short term project. It is said that the legendary cinematographer cum director has a good script exciting enough for Kamal and is waiting for the right time. While the duo shares a perfect rapport and has delivered good flicks like Moondram Pirai and Sathi Leelavathi, their combination once again is sure to bring cheer to fans of both Kamal and Balu Mahendra. But the details of commencement of the project are not yet known- whether it would be pre or post Mysskin’s film. We will keep you posted!

  ‘My Film Is Not Little Buddha’ – Mysskin
  Saturday November 14, 2009
  
  Well, if you need an illustration for a sort of occupation that doesn’t let you stalked with success, failures and delays, it’s cinema that obviously proves off this scenario… It’s so peculiar that a professional can start working on their next project much prior to the next film’s release.
  
  Perhaps, Mysskin can be off this exemplification as he’s so confident that his untitled film with Kamal Haasan will be a sort of resurgence in Tamil Film Industry. When asked about his ‘Nandhalala’, the filmmaker is so self-assured that it would be such a film that will elongate the emotions beyond the limits that romance would evoke on.
  
  With many buzzes rounding upon air that Mysskin is making a film based on famous ‘Little Buddha’, he says,“ It doesn’t mean if I am making a film on Buddha, It can be correlated with all such films. Little Buddha was an excellent film and this one is completely from that. A character in search of Buddha’s tooth is a sub-plot and wouldn’t a main storyline…”
  
  Nonetheless, he was keen on not revealing anything about Kamal Haasan’s characterization as it would be a spoiler.

The actor who completed 50 years in cinema, said in a recent interview at Hyderabad that it was his desire to act in the remake of his super hit film Salangai Oli. Remember he did the role of 25 years old classical dancer in the film. Made in Telugu and later in Tamil Sagara Sangamam (original version title), the movie directed by K. Viswananth and starring Jayapradha was a blockbuster. Maestro Ilayaraja composed extra ordinary music for this film and made it as an epic. He got his first National Award for this film. Talking about the film, Kamal said that if any director wished to remake the film, he was ready to play the same role once again. "May be I'm 55 now, but still ready to do the same role as 25 year old if they made it again. For me art is ageless..." says the actor.

  Filmmakers facing dearth of stories take real life incidents: Hassan Chennai: Tamil superstar Kamal Hassan has defended the depiction of violence in movies saying that it is real life incidents highlighted in the media that is inspiring filmmakers. "We have a dearth of stories and (therefore) look to society. Content, such as blood and gore come from news...that is people. There is more violence in news than in cinema," Kamal Hassan, who celebrated his 50 years in the film industry this year, told reporters here. "It all comes from people--the content--violence or romance or whatever," he said adding "people know where to stop" while watching films. The 55-year-old actor was reacting to reporters' queries on the Madras High Court chastising some students charged with using cellphones in exam halls to get answers through SMS and whether the inspiration came from cinema. In his superhit Tamil film Vasool Raja MBBS, a remake of Sanjay Dutt-starrer Munna Bhai MBBS, Hassan's character uses a cellphone to cheat and pass in medical exams. The actor was announcing a FICCI-sponsored "FICCI Frames 2009- Media and Entertainment Business Conclave" in his capacity as its chairman. Among others, veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra, renowned actors Mammootty, Mohan Lal and director Karan Johar are scheduled to participate. To a query, the tech-savvy professional said cinema going digital was the "biggest" technical change today. "The fact that cinema is going digital is the biggest technical change today. We have to accept it as it is happening globally and it will happen in Tamil Nadu also," said Hassan, who shot his home production Mumbai Express on a digital camera. The 55-year-old actor defended his decision to take long breaks between projects saying that he too could do three projects a year like Hollywood star Brad Pitt, as "that will show my efficiency." In a light-hearted reply to the need for more acting schools, Hassan, a National Award winner said, "Even I didn't know to act (in the early days). It was (iconic director and his mentor) K Balachander who taught me acting." The FICCI Frames 2009 will be inaugurated by chief minister M Karunanidhi and would aim at showcasing Indian cinema at a global level.

Viswananth and starring Jayapradha was a blockbuster. Maestro Ilayaraja composed extra ordinary music for this film and made it as an epic. He got his first National Award for this film. Talking about the film, Kamal said that if any director wished to remake the film, he was ready to play the same role once again. "May be I'm 55 now, but still ready to do the same role as 25 year old if they made it again. For me art is ageless..." says the actor.

  
  
  It will be a treat...
  He is 55, but I am sure nammavar will bring a new dimension to the character and overall it will be a better remake.
  Many may disagree, but I will be happy if this happens !

  I just hope the contents do not start another fight between Kamal and Rajini fans. The comments at the end are more interesting then the writers opinion. Once again the writer has a biased view on his marriage. It is his personal life and we should leave it alone.

  No Kamal Hasan retrospective in Iffi TNN 17 November 2009, 06:53am IST NEW DELHI: Despite completing 50 years in Indian cinema, actor Kamal Hasan's retrospective will not be part of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) this year. The festival will, however, showcase films by yesteryear actors including Sharmila Tagore, Asha Parekh and Soumitra Chatterjee who have all completed 50 years. Sources said that Hasan was keen that not three but seven of his films be screened at IFFI. "We do not have space to screen seven films. But we plan to organize a retrospective in Delhi in February for the actor," a source said. IFFI this year will showcase Latin American films. The 10-day-long festival which will culminate on December 3, will highlight cinema from Latin America under its "Continent Focus" section while the "Country Focus" section will exhibit films from European nations. According to S M Khan, director of Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF), 55 films from 45 countries will be shown in the "Cinema of the World" section. Films like "Red Alert" (Hindi), "Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu" (Hindi), "Vimukti" (Kannada), "Once Again", and "God Lives In Himalayas", will be premiered during the festival. For the first time, documentaries made by the films division on eminent music luminaries like Ustad Alauddin Khan, Bhimsen Joshi, Mohammad Rafi and Manna Dey will also be shown. Thirteen films from all over the world would be showcased under the competition section, which will also include two Indian films. "Under the tributes section, IFFI-2009 will show films of those personalities who have passed away in the last one year like film makers Shakti Samanta and Prakash Mehra, actor-director Firoz Khan, and lyricist Gulshan Bawra. The exhibition of their films would be preceded by talks to be delivered by film personalities who were associated with them and their work," Khan said.

  Kamal Haasan doesn't have his way in IFFI K P Sai Kiran First Published : 17 Nov 2009 02:32:00 AM IST Last Updated : 17 Nov 2009 11:27:07 AM IST NEW DELHI: The 40th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) to be commenced on November 23 in Goa will miss out southern star Kamal Haasan from the section to felicitate those celebrating golden jubilee in Indian cinema. The star's movies' absence from the show is apparently his making. S M Khan, the director of film festivals, on Monday said though Kamal Haasan was celebrating the fiftieth year of his entry into the silver screen, he could not be included as he wanted a package of seven of his works to be showcased instead of three as planned at the IFFI. "We are not in a position to showcase Kation to showcase Kamal Haasan's demanded to showcase seven of his films. The actor had made his debut as a six-year-old child artiste in Kalathur Kannamma in 1959 and won the National Film Award for the Best Child Artiste. “We are not in a position to showcase Kamal Haasan’s demand to showcase seven of his films. So we will be doing a complete retrospective on him in February 2010 in Delhi,” Khan said. “The secretary of the ministry is the deciding authority. The request is under his consideration,” Khan said. The actor had made his debut in the silver screen as a six-year-old child artiste in 'Kalathur Kannamma' released in 1959 which won him the National Film Award for the best child artiste. The IFFI will showcase the films of Asha Parekh, Sharmila Tagore and Soumitra Chatterjee who had completed 50 years in Indian cinema. The entry of the Malayalam film 'Pazhassi Raja' in to the Indian panorama section is under the consideration of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The section on world cinema will showcase 55 films from 45 countries. In the competition section, 13 films will compete, out of which two are from India. The IFFI will also witness screening of Films Division documentaries on musicians. A mid-festival fashion show themed ‘Fashion in Indian Cinema’ will also be part of the festival.

  Asha Break retrospective? It shouldnt take a minute in my opinion - her complete range of skills can be captured from any 2 random shots from any of her movies - one shwocasing her supreme skill in expressing luvs and romance with a stupid 'shy' smile and the other with an upturned wrist on the mouth, saying "Bhagwan ke liye mujhe chod do".

  கமலை மத்திய அரசு கெளரவிக்கும்!-சோனி
  
  சென்னை: இஃபி (IFFI) விழா அமைப்பாளர்கள் பதில் கமல்ஹாஸனுக்கு அதிருப்தியை ஏற்படுத்தியிருப்பது எனக்குப் புரிகிறது. கமல் போன்ற ஒரு சாதனையாளரின் பெருமையை 3 படங்களில் மட்டும் சொல்லிவிட முடியாது. எனவே டெல்லியில் மத்திய அரசு ஆதரவில் நடக்கும் திரைப்பட விழாவில் அவரது படங்கள் தனியாக திரையிட்டுக் காட்டப்படும், என மத்திய தகவல் ஒலிபரப்புத் துறை அம்பிகா சோனி இன்று தெரிவித்தார்.
  
  சென்னையில் நடக்கும் நசிகர் கமல்ஹாஸன் தலைமையில் நடக்கும் FICCI அமைப்பின் ஊடகம் மற்றும் பொழுதுபோக்கு வர்த்தக மாநாட்டில் பேசும்போது அம்பிகா சோனி இதைத் தெரிவித்தார்.
  
  இது குறித்து மேலும் அவர் கூறுகையில், "கலைக்கு வடக்கு தெற்கு பேதமில்லை. எந்த மாநிலத்தவராக இருந்தாலும் அவர்கள் இந்தியக் கலைஞர்கள்தான். இந்தியக் கலைஞர் பிரகாஷ் ராஜுக்குதான் சிறந்த நடிகர் விருது கொடுத்துள்ளோம். அவர் தமிழ்க் கலைஞரா வட இந்தியரா என்று பார்க்கவில்லை.
  
  கமல்ஹாஸன் மிகப்பெரிய திரைக் கலைஞர். மேதை. அவரைப் போன்ற கலைஞர்களால் இந்தியத் திரையுலகுக்குப் பெருமை.
  
  இன்று பத்திரிகைகளில் ஒரு செய்தியைப் பார்த்தேன். அதன் மூலம், இந்திய சர்வதேச திரைப்பட விழாவில் அவரது படங்கள் திரையிடப்படாததும், அதன் அமைப்பாளர்கள் பதிலால் கமல் அடைந்துள்ள அதிருப்தியும் எனக்குப் புரிகிறது.
  
  நிச்சயம் அவரது சாதனைகளை விளக்க 3 படங்கள் போதாதுதான்.
  
  கமல்ஹாஸனை இந்திய அரசு உரிய முறையில் கவுரவிக்கும். அவரது பொன்விழா சாதனைகளைப் பாராட்டி, இந்திய அரசும் திரைப்பட விருது விழா இயக்ககமும் இணைந்து நடத்தும் சிறப்பு திரை விழாவில் கமல் படங்கள் மட்டுமே திரையிடப்பட்டு அவர் கவுரவிக்கப்படுவார்" என்றார்.

  இஃபி: 7 படங்களைத் திரையிட வேண்டும் என நான் கோரவில்லை - கமல்
  
  கோவா சர்வதேச இந்திய திரைப்பட விழாவில் (இஃபி) எனது படங்கள் ஏழு திரையிட வேண்டும் என நான் கோரவில்லை. 3 படங்களில் என்னைப் பற்றித் தெரிவித்து விட முடியாதே, குறைந்தபட்சம் 7 படங்களாவது இருக்கட்டுமே என்று எனது நண்பர்கள் தெரிவித்த கோரிக்கைதான் அது என்று கமல்ஹாசன் விளக்கம் அளித்துள்ளார்.
  
  பனாஜியில் நவம்பர் 23ம் தேதி சர்வதேச இந்திய திரைப்பட விழா தொடங்குகிறது. இதில் திரையுலகில் 50 ஆண்டுகளை முடித்துள்ள கமல்ஹாசன், ஆஷா பரேக், ஷர்மிளா தாகூர், செளமித்ரா சாட்டர்ஜி ஆகியோரைக் கெளரவிக்கும் வகையில் இவர்கள் நடித்த படங்கள் தலா மூன்றை தனியாக திரையிட ஏற்பாடு செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது.
  
  ஆனால், தற்போது இந்தப் பட்டியலில் கமல்ஹாசன் இடம் பெறவில்லை. கமல்ஹாசன் தரப்பில் 7 படங்களைத் திரையிட வேண்டும் என கோரியதாகவும், ஆனால் அப்படி செய்ய முடியாத நிலை இருப்பதாகவும், விழாவுக்கான இயக்குநர் எஸ்.எம். கான் கூறியிருந்தார். இதனால் சலசலப்பு ஏற்பட்டது.
  
  இந்த நிலையில் இந்த விவகாரம் குறித்து கமல்ஹாசன் விளக்கியுள்ளார்.
  
  இதுகுறித்து அவர் செய்தியாளர்களிடம் பேசுகையில், நான் அப்படி எந்த கோரிக்கையும் வைக்கவில்லை. எனது நண்பர்கள்தான், 3 படங்களில் என்னை அடக்கி விட முடியாதே, 7 படங்களாவது இருக்க வேண்டும் என கோரியிருந்தனர்.
  
  எனது நண்பர்கள்தான் அதை விரும்பினார்கள். என்னிடம் சிலர் பேசுகையில், ஏழு படங்களாக இருக்கட்டும் என வலியுறுத்துங்கள் என்று கேட்டுக் கொண்டனர். டெல்லியில் உள்ள எனது நண்பர்கள், நலம் விரும்பிகளின் ஆசை இது.
  
  மேலும் இந்த ஏழு படங்களையும் டெல்லி நிகழ்ச்சியில் தனியாக திரையிட வேண்டும் என்பதும் அவர்களின் விருப்பம் என்றார் கமல்.
  
  டெல்லியில் பிரத்யேகமாக கமல்ஹாசன் குறித்த திறனாயவு அடுத்த ஆண்டு பி்ப்ரவரி மாதம் நடைபெறவுள்ளதாக எஸ்.எம்.கான் தெரிவித்துள்ளார் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

  Why is Bollywood Our Status Symbol?
  
  Sam Daniel (NDTV Correspondent)
  Wednesday, November 18, 2009 (Chennai)
  
  It has been a common complain of movie industry down south that Bollywood gets all the attention. So led by superstars like Kamal Hasan, the southern industry is now demanding equal status for its cinema.
  
  Says actor Kamal Hasan, "We can't have a stand off here saying whose fault it is or how sad I feel. If we feel sad we will do something about it. We are trying to be the change we want to see."
  
  Cleary a clash of cinemas at this conclave in Chennai. The Southern industry led by Kamal Hasan is demanding equal status for its cinema the same as Bollywood.
  
  Compared to Bollywood the South churns out double the number of films with as much technical competence. The canvas much more eager to lend itself to contemporary socio-political issues. Yet on the international stage it's Bollywood which is still considered the brand ambassador of Indian cinema. So the Southern cinema wants more representation in the international and Indian festival and awards circuit.
  
  Says actor Kamal Haasan, "''We are here to prove that we are all one, there are no parochial borders for entertainment industry. Not even international ones.''
  
  But on the other hand well-known film maker Yash Chopra is of the view that there is no divide in north and southern cinema. ''Why divide as north and southern cinema? We are one as Indian cinema,'' he said.
  
  Bollywood may choose not to acknowledge the inequality but filmmakers say on the ground the North-South divide will take a long time to bridge.

  A belated write up on KH on his 55'th birthday
  _______________________________________
  
  Kamal Haasan turns 55
  Nov 11, 2009
  by Ashanti Omkar
  
  Just as the world celebrated Tamil filmstar Kamal Haasan's 50th year in cinema, he also enjoyed his 55th birthday quietly with his family.
  
  Last year, Kamal Haasan cited the plight of the Sri Lankan Tamils and stayed away from celebrations of his birthday and this year too, he decided to keep it a sedated affair, choosing to spend some quality time with his family, away from the hustle bustle of Chennai.
  
  Known to many of his fans as the 'kissing king', Kamal Haasan has proven his acting prowess from his very first movie, Kalathur Kannamma. A hit in 1960, he played a dual role at the tender age of 5, which won him the National award. No mean feat for a small child, who then grew up to be one of India's finest actors.
  
  A fine orator, he has acted in films across most Indian languages and beholds a vast array of talents. Whether it be Indian Classical Dance, choreography, screenwriting, singing or writing lyrics, he has dabbled in the whole spectrum of film associated work. It is even cited that he dabbles in the art of magic, as a hobby. He is also a rare actor who has had 7 movies sent to the Oscars, to represent Indian film.
  
  Many will remember him for his portrayal as Velu Nayagan in Mani Ratnam's Nayagan, the Tamil version of the Godfather trilogy, which got into the TIME 100 list of best films in the world, of all time. His Dasavathaaram, a magnum opus of sorts, saw him playing 10 roles and he has done similar Eddie Murphyesque films, with Hollywood make-up artistes performing incredible transformations, the most memorable being Avvai Shanmukhi (Mrs Doubtfire) and Indian.
  
  Films like Salangai Oli, Guna, Thevar Magan, Hey Ram, Thenali (where he plays a Sri Lankan character who had been deeply affected by the civil war), Anbe Sivam, Unnal Mudiyum Thambi and Punnagai Mannan amongst many more, leave lingering impressions in the minds of his fans and he is known for unconventional honesty. His personal life has constantly been under scrutiny, but he has always gained the respect of his peers and fans and stood tall with his candor and humour.
  
  When it comes to his numerous remakes, he believes that there is indeed nothing new in this world, just one's unique take on things. He shares: "There is nothing wrong in remaking a good idea. In fact Kamban's Tamil Ramayanam itself was nothing but a very intelligent remake of the original Ramayana." His most recent film, 'Unnaipol Oruvan' which is a remake of the Hindi 'A Wednesday' had made waves not only for the story and acting, but for it's short length. His gorgeous elder daughter, Shruti did the music for the UTV produced movie.
  
  Known to the masses as Ulaga Nayagan aka Universal Hero, Kamal Haasan doesn't plan to stop anytime soon. He articulates: "It is just like a dream. I feel as if I have just begun my journey. I wonder what I have achieved. There are miles to go before I sleep." When it comes to comedy, musicals or serious roles, nothing is too difficult for Kamal Haasan, arguably one of the finest artistes in the world.

  Why is Mysskin frustrated and miffed?
  
  On Sunday at the audio launch of Paiyya, when anchor Venkat Prabhu announced his name as one of the speakers, Karthi fans in the balcony laughed.
  
  This upset the director who asked them what comedy he is doing on stage to make them laugh!
  
  Later at the end of his quick speech he looked at the balcony audiences and muttered something under his breath pointed at them with his fingers and left the stage in a huff!
  
  The buzz is that Mysskin is frustrated that his proposed Kamal Hassan film’s is not taking off after he did so much spade work for the project.
  
  Added to that Ayngaran International who promised to release his long pending Nandalala in November is now backtracking and has pushed its release to next year. Mysskin a fine director has enough reasons to make him see red.
  
  
  
  APPADIYA???

  I am not confusing at all. Savaal is Kamal and Jai shankar. Sattam is Kamal and Sarath Babu. During those times Kamal once said in interview that SKV, Vaazhvae Maayam and Savaal were all money spinners. Trust me.

  தமிழ்,
  
  நான் சில விஷயங்களைப் பற்றி எழுத வேண்டாம் என்று பார்க்கிறேன். நான் ஏதாவது எழுதினால் நமது அருமை நண்பர் ராஜாராம் அவர்கள் அதை வேறு விதமாக கொண்டு சென்று தனிப்பட்ட முறையில் கிண்டல் செய்வது போன்ற செயல்களில் ஈடுபடுகிறார். ஜாலிக்காக செய்கிறேன் என்று அவர் சொல்லலாம். ஆனால் அது ஜாலியாக இருப்பதில்லை.
  
  ஒரே வரியில் சொல்லப் போனால் பல தகவல்களும் தவறு. சிகப்பு ரோஜாக்கள் 200 நாட்கள் ஓடவில்லை என்பதை ஏற்கனவே அது வெளியான தேதி, மாற்றப்பட்ட தேதி ஆகியவற்றை குறிப்பிட்டு நான் NT திரியிலே எழுதியிருந்தேன். மீண்டும் அதை இங்கே குறிப்பிட்டிருக்கிறார். அது போல சட்டம் என் கையில். இந்த படம் 1978-ம் வருடம் ஜூலை மாதம் 14-ந் தேதி சென்ட்ரலில் வெளியானது. அதே நாளில் தான் கல்பனாவில் வணக்கத்துக்குரிய காதலியே ரிலீஸ் ஆனது. 1978 ஆகஸ்ட் மாதம் 26ந் தேதி சனிக்கிழமை ஜெய்சங்கரின் 150-வது படமான டாக்சி டிரைவர் சென்ட்ரலில் வெளியானது. ஆக சட்டம் என் கையில் மதுரை சென்ட்ரலில் ஓடியது 43 நாட்கள் மட்டுமே.
  
  வாழ்வே மாயம் 200 நாட்கள் பற்றிய சந்தேகமும் இருக்கிறது. காரணம் நியூசினிமாவில் 200 நாட்கள் ஓடிய ஒரே படம் வசந்த மாளிகை மட்டுமே. அது போல் சத்யா அமிர்தத்தில் 100 நாட்கள் ஓடியதா என்பது சந்தேகமாக இருக்கிறது. காரணம் அமிர்தம் அரங்கில் முதல் 100 நாட்கள் படமே மை டியர் மார்த்தாண்டன் என்பது என் நினைவு.
  
  ராஜாராம் ஆர்வக் கோளாறில் செய்கிறாரா இல்லை தான் சொல்ல வந்ததை நிரூபிக்க வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக சொல்கிறாரா என்று புரியவில்லை. முன்பு இப்படிதான் காக்கி சட்டை 1984 டிசம்பர் ரிலீஸ் என்று எழுதினார். நான் 1985 ஏப்ரல் 11 என்று சுட்டிக் காட்டியதும் திருத்தினார். அது போல் இப்போது அண்மையில் கமலுக்குதான் அதிகமான தீபாவளி படங்கள் வெள்ளி விழா ஓடியிருக்கின்றன என்று எழுதும் போது 1981-ம் ஆண்டு பொங்கலுக்கு குருவில் வெளியான மீண்டும் கோகிலாவை 1981-ம் ஆண்டு தீபாவளி படமாக மாற்றி விட்டார். அந்த 81-ம் வருடம் தீபாவளிக்கு [அக்டோபர் 26] கமலுக்கு படமே இல்லை. 12 நாட்கள் கழித்து நவம்பர் 7 அன்று தான் டிக் டிக் டிக் வெளியானது.
  
  சட்டம் வெளியானது சினிப்ரியாவில். அது 1983-ம் வருடம் மே மாதம் 21ந் தேதி வெளியானது. அது வரை 115 நாட்களாக அங்கே ஓடிக்கொண்டிருந்த நீதிபதி மினிப்ரியாவிற்கு மாற்றப்பட்டு ஜூலை 21 வரை [177 நாட்கள்] ஓடியது. 1983 ஜூன் மாதம் 16ந் தேதி சுகப்பிரியாவில் வெளியான சந்திப்பு டிசம்பர் 7ந் தேதி வரை [175 நாட்கள்] ஓடியது. எனவே சட்டம் 100 நாட்கள் ஓடியதா என்பது சரியாக தெரியவில்லை.
  
  நீங்கள் கேட்டதால் இதை சொல்லியிருக்கிறேன். மற்றப்படி இங்கே ஒரு கமல் ரஜினி வாக்குவாதத்திற்கு நான் வரவில்லை. இதில் யார் மனதையும் புண்படுத்தும் எண்ணமும் எனக்கில்லை.
  
  அன்புடன்

The sam thing is true for moondru mugam and thangamagan. sugapriya and meenakshi paradise are small theatres! I dont think TTT is as big of a hit like SKV! I don't know other places but in Madurai TTT >>> SKV. One more thing TTT was the first movie of Kamal to get all time blockbuster status from what I have heard. I have to disagree here SKV was a BB too

  
  Thamizh & TA,
  Both SKV & TTT are big time BO blockusters. Not sure which one is bigger than the other but regardless both are silver jubilee films! AVM were all smiles after the whopping success of these 2 flicks. Just for the trivia, both SKV & TTT are sort of "soft" remakes of Vaathiyar flicks!
  
  "Vaazhve Maayam", "Sattam En Kayil" are also superhit movies in that order but not sure about "Savaal" though.

  நாயகன் மற்றும் சத்யா படங்கள் வெற்றி பெற்றது ஆச்சர்யம்.
  
  ஏனென்றால் 1987 தீபாவளி அன்று நாயகன் வெளி வந்த பொழுது வீடியோ கேசட்டும் வெளி வந்து விட்டது(தயாரிப்பாளர் அனுமதியோடு).AVM மனிதன் படத்திற்க்கு வெளியிட வில்லை.
  
  மதுரையில் முக்கால் வாசிப் பேர் கேசட்டில் தான் படம் பார்த்தார்கள். எல்லோர் வீட்டிலும் இருந்தது என்று நினைக்க வேண்டாம். டி.வியையும்,டெக்கையும் வாடகைக்கு எடுத்து தெருத் தெருவாக போட்டார்கள். அப்படி இருந்தும் படம் 175 நாட்கள் ஓடியது. இல்லையென்றால் படம் 300 நாட்கள் ஓடி இருக்கும்.
  
  சத்யாவிற்க்கும் படம் வெளி வந்த அன்றே கேசட்டும் வந்து விட்டது.

  ராஜாராம்,
  
  எனக்கு நன்றாக தெரிந்த விஷயங்களை மட்டுமே நான் ஆணித்தரமாக எழுதியிருக்கிறேன்[சட்டம் என் கையில், மீண்டும் கோகிலா முதலியவை]. எனக்கு சந்தேகமாக இருக்க கூடிய விஷயங்களை சந்தேகமாக இருக்கிறது என்றே குறிப்பிட்டிருக்கிறேன். உங்களை போல் 43 நாட்கள் படங்களை நூறு நாட்கள் என்று எழுதவில்லை.
  
  அமிர்தம் தியேட்டரை பொறுத்த வரை என் நினைவில் இருப்பதை சொல்கிறேன் என்று தான் எழுதியிருக்கிறேன். இப்போதும் சொல்கிறேன் எஜமான் தான் ரஜினிக்கு அமிர்தத்தில் முதல் நூறு நாட்கள் படம் என்பது என்னுடைய நினைவு. அது போல்தான் சத்யாவும். வருஷம் 16, பாட்டி சொல்லை தட்டாதே போன்ற படங்களை பொறுத்த வரை நீங்கள் சொல்வது சரியாக இருக்கலாம். எனக்கு உறுதியாக தெரியவில்லை.
  
  சிகப்பு ரோஜாக்கள் படத்தை பொறுத்த வரை என்னுடைய நம்பிக்கையை நான் பேசவில்லை. உண்மையை சொன்னேன். 1978-ம் வருடம் நவம்பர் 9ந் தேதி முதல் 1979-ம் ஆண்டு ஏப்ரல் 13ந் தேதி வரை 156 நாட்கள்தான் வரும். 200 நாட்கள் வராது. ஏப்ரல் 14ந் தேதி புதிய வார்ப்புகள் ரிலீஸ் ஆகி விட்டது.
  
  இளமை ஊஞ்சலாடுகிறது சென்னையில் வெள்ளி விழா ஓடியதற்கு சினிப்ரியாவில் ஷீல்ட் வைத்திருப்பதை போல்[அதுவும் நீங்கள் சொன்ன தகவல்தான்] சட்டம் சென்னையில் ஓடியதற்கும் 100 நாட்கள் ஷீல்ட் கொடுத்திருக்கலாம் அல்லவா? வாய்ப்பு இருக்கிறது என்றுதான் சொல்கிறேன்.
  
  ரஜினி திரியிலும் சில தவறுகள். தாய் மீது சத்தியம் சிந்தாமணியில் 1978 அக்டோபர் 30 முதல் 1979 ஜனவரி 13 வரை 75 நாட்கள் மட்டுமே ஓடியது. பிறகு நடிகர் திலகத்தின் தங்கை இரண்டு வாரங்கள் திரையிடப்பட்டு பிறகு ஜனவரி 27 முதல் திரிசூலம் வெளியானது. அன்னை ஒரு ஆலயம் படத்தின் 100 நாட்களும் சந்தேகமே.
  
  எதுவானாலும் நீங்கள் ஒப்புக் கொள்ளப் போவதில்லை. நண்பர் சகலை சொன்னது போல் பழைய கதைகள் இப்போது எதற்கு? நீங்கள் உங்கள் சேவையை தொடருங்கள். நான் குறுக்கே வரவில்லை.

  There are many occasions nowadays that an unknown movie is being kept running for 100 days and dhina thandhi publishes its 100th day. Kandasamy (sorry Pras) is the other case now.. Somewhere down the years, Kandasamy will become a block buster with 100 days run for the next generation.

  KS Ravikumar to direct Kamal Haasan?
  
  By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 26 November , 2009, 14:03
  
  
  Ace director KS Ravikumar after churning out the hit Aadhavan, is now determined to get his Sarath Kumar- Shriya starrer Jaggubhai released.
  
  For the last one month, Ravikumar has been meeting distributors and also holding special screenings of the film for them.
  
  The trade is showing great interest in Jaggubhai, especially after its hero Sarath Kumar’s brilliant performance in Pazhassi Raja has been acclaimed by the masses and classes alike.
  
  When contacted Ravikumar said: “ I think Jaggubhai has come out well, it is a clean family entertainer with a powerful performance by Sarathkumar. Remember I had originally written the story for superstar Rajinikanth?”
  
  Ravikumar will take a call on his next film only after Jaggubhai is released. As of now the film is tentatively slated for release on December 11, as a solo release.
  
  Meanwhile the buzz is that Ravikumar will be doing his next film with Kamal Hassan, which will start in February 2010.
  
  Appo Mysskin padam????
  
  Why is there so much confusion in recent times on the next project.

  What about working with disney or othe possible hollywood companies. Because for them this investment will not be a problem. What I heard was, Kamal came to USA to have discussion with hollywood companies. Is that right?
  
  One more thing even Marudhanayagam had become feasible after he had tie up with bbc. Unfortunately the tie up was broken due to pokhran and never happened afterwards.

  Bala,
  After burning fingers in two period projects,what prompted him to call and ask Mysskin to prepare another historical subject in the first place.
  
  Nerukku Ner with him is very much required,lot's of questions to ask
  
  Think he doing a project on someone else's terms is ruled out.Better he takes up writing,production and direction full time now.Otherwise long gaps,dropped projects,court cases,negative publicity will be the order of the day.

  Quote:

  If ever I had sent a fan letter to a colleague it was to southern superstar, Kamal Hasan. Once, I bumped into him on a fight. Our eyes met and Kamal asked, 'Am I right?' I was flattered and said, 'Yes.' Soon after, I sent him a letter after watching Nayakan. Years later, when I was working with him in Chachi 420, I asked him whether he had received the letter at all. Kamal nodded. 'Then why did you not reply?' I asked him. 'I was too embarrassed,' Kamal said. For years I had been looking for an opportunity to work with him. So, when he sent me the Tamil script of Chachi 420, I was not as excited about the role as about the prospect of working with Kamal Hasan. And after that film my friendship with him blossomed. Kamal is a disciplined actor and like Robert de Niro, prepares conscientiously for his roles -- even gaining or losing weight as the role demands. He thinks ahead of his time and is an unconventional filmmaker. He is a gambler and is willing to stake everything for his creativity. As a producer he is very generous and as a director, very patient with his actors and also extremely cool.

  Some Points need to be mentioned about dasavatharam BO. As Vivs said, in each actors thread, their philm is the record shattering one, and some of them nicely forget that they shattered just a gramaphone record!
  
  Dasa BO was reported Economic times by producer itself, which is more credible. When the interview came, still all over collections were not over. Much later, there was a news in Hindu - http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/holnus/009200904102111.htm
  
  The item loks like authored by Hindu but its coming from more credible source - IANS, http://www.ians.in/aboutus-news.php
  
  It has been almost an year since Kamal has faced the camera after completing the shooting of the block buster Dasavathaaram, which raked in more than Rs 250 crore worldwide.
  
  Google search the above bold text and there are other links from websites carrying the SAME article, which means the article was circulated through IANS. Hindu site too mentions this. And this article is mainly about UPO and Dasa BO is mentioned in sidelines. This indirectly confirms that the news item shud have been given by Kamal\Raajkamal itself to IANS, which actually increases the credibility. Now, somebody cud not even say that Hindu is supporting Kamal, etc.
  
  Not only this, Vikatan also mentioned that Dasa BO is one among Indian BO Top Collection, and there was no such national level records indicated by any credible media, for other films. Infact one film was precisely reported by its own producer itself that specific BO number reported in media is fake.
  
  No such negative reports are there in media, for Dasavatharam, which still increases its credibility.
  
  Why i say this is, there is difference btw what others say and what Dasa Bo has really done. The difference is very clear and credible.

  As it looks like Nammavar's next movie will be started only by 2010 end and released in 2012, wy can't he release the shot portions of marmayogi and maruthanayakam - something like "making of Marutha Yogi". It will run better than many of the so called hit films.

  Chinna pasanga etc edhavadhu vivaram theriyamalo, illa puriyamalo, aaruvakkolarula ularradhu sagajam. Those ariyaa vayasu ularals don't deserve any replies per se but i understand this post
  
  If there is any media outlet which *supports* Thalaivar in the true sense of the word, (No! not Vijay TV contrary to popular belief especially in recent times), it is only Jaya TV and nobody else.
  
  
  Some pointers about N.I television media which i've repeated ad nauseum over the years. Rather than taking my word for it, anybody can see for themselves with clearly available examples over the years.
  
  1. They just parrot stereotypes and myths and grossly over simplistic generalizations.
  - South Indian = nethi pattai, thol thundu, vetti (they call it lungi), mild mannered, vegetarian, idly-sambar. This is the palakkad Brahmin they see in Mumbai (the Nellai Mumbaiite is not even represented)
  - Inga media la irundha/irukkara maayai, MGR=Collections, Sivaji=Acting. Collections naa MGR dhaan, Sivaji senjadhellam nadippu mattum dhaan. They do the same withRajini/Kamal
  - "Mind it" - I don't this needs any explanation
  - Check any interview of Thalaivar. If you show six differences between any two interviews in the last few years in mainstream N.I T.V channels and print media, .... kaattunapparam paappom....
  "Stepping into politics"
  "Rajinikanth, rivalry, when are you two going to act together again"
  "Sarika"
  "Sri Devi"
  The baffling question is don;t they know the answers already?
  
  2. Their local correspondents would have no clue whatsoever about realities of the place. His/her source would seldom be first hand. Its a sheer parroting of hearsay and myths. Even if they happen to report solid facts, chances are it would not be first hand.
  Though we have a lot of examples three instances rise above the others.
  
  1. During the Orkut T shirt controversy, NDTV reported (as a "fact") that we notorious fraudster fans made money in crores (7 crores i think.)! Go figure! The source?: The man who masterminded the whole plot and who posed as he was the one who was solving the problem for us. Trichy post-holder Sarathy. Apparently, he had multiplied the cost of the T-shirt and the # of members in Orkut Thalaivar community
  Neither Sam Daniel or Natasha from NDTV bothered to even pause to think about this figure!
  
  2. After Dasa FDFS @ Albert, two correspondents from Times Now were interviewing fans. One Mallu fan wanted to talk a line or two about Thalaivar discouraging smoking etc but they just brushed him aside. I just had a "polite" conversation (expanded English adaptation of Virumaandi interview scene) with them and they promised to reciprocate appropriately. Next day, they carried reports of the resounding "flop" of the film
  
  3. Even after the release of Dasa, at least 3 N.I channels continued to show the fanous fake morped images of Dasa "getups"!

  Quote:

  Fifty years. That’s five decades. There are people who don’t live that long – so it’s entirely understandable, this extraordinary (bordering, at times, on the excessive) hysteria enveloping us as Kamal Haasan celebrates his mammoth milestone. After so many years, with so many movies and so many memories, it would seem the easiest of things to compose an ode to his achievements – but it’s the opposite actually. Where do you begin? What do you pick? Do you, for instance, write about him as a young god of romance, about how he single-handedly changed the way the hero goes about the business of courting the heroine? Or do you regard these facets as mere frivolities and begin to delve into the acting dimension, about how he represents the perfect middle point between the completely externalised melodramatics of a Sivaji Ganesan and the completely internalised Methodisms of a Naseeruddin Shah, giving just enough of a “performance” to make even the most unsophisticated audience member tune in, but without alienating the sophisticates? The time-honoured rules of writing endorse a trajectory of the outside to the inside, from the general to the particular – but why not, instead, employ a particular to illustrate the general? Why not talk about the one film that brings to my mind all that’s special about this sakalakalavallavan? In that vein, I opted for Aboorva Sagotharargal, simply because the film is Kamal’s single greatest achievement. (It’s also, coincidentally, twenty years since the film’s release in 1989, which possibly warrants a commemoration of its own.) In pure cinematic terms, the film is a stupendous success. It’s easily the best screenplay he’s ever written. (Thevar Magan comes close, but there’s the shadow of The Godfather that looms large over it. Perhaps, like the Oscars, I could say that Aboorva Sagotharargal is Kamal’s Best Original Screenplay, and Thevar Magan is his Best Adapted Screenplay.) If the success of a film lies in how well it ends up doing what it sets out to do, Aboorva Sagotharargal is Kamal Haasan’s finest hour as actor-screenwriter-producer. It wants to be a crackling masala entertainer, in the grand tradition of Tamil cinema’s escapist entertainment, and it becomes this through inspired riffs on some of the most cherished of masala-movie tropes. The hero playing multiple roles (with a moustache, and without), the twin brothers who are separated at childbirth and eventually reunited, the son who avenges a father’s murder, the brothers on opposite sides of the law, the heroine being the daughter of a villain – it’s all here, alongside affectionate homages (intended or otherwise) to images from older masala cinema, like the duet staged around a stationary car that echoes the staging of Pesuvadhu kiliya in Panathottam, or the kadi joke where Appu anoints himself Ulagam Suttrum Vaaliban while perched on a globe. And if you want to get all meta on the film, you could note that it captures the quintessence of the many facets of Kamal Haasan – the actor who can play roguish Madras-Tamil-speaking lover boys in his sleep, the actor who would go on to increasingly hack away at his handsomeness through makeup-enhanced grotesquerie (though here, he merely hacks away half his legs), the star who’d grow excessively fond of playing multiple characters (one being the regular hero, the other representing the “unusual,” the film’s USP) the writer who’s never happy unless submerging himself in subversion (what is it if not at least slightly subversive that the adorable, kid-friendly Appu, whom we first see clowning around on a toy train, is ever-so-gradually transformed into a freakish homicidal maniac?), and the producer who’s never afraid to put his money where his mouth is (how hypocritical would it have been if Kamal had merely spouted off about quality cinema without actually bothering to invest in it?). There are far too many thoughts swimming around in my head when it comes to Aboorva Sagotharargal – they’d warrant a collegiate thesis instead of a casually commemorative blog post – so I’ll focus on the one aspect of this remarkable film that never fails to amaze me: the character (and the characterisation) of the dwarf Appu. I suppose I should be politically correct and say “little person,” but that phrase doesn’t carry the pejorative weight that “dwarf” does. And Appu is a dwarf in practically every sense of the world – not just because everyone’s taller than him, but also because a “normal life” (love, a respectable career) remains frustratingly out of his reach. And it’s not till the Unnai nenachen song sequence that we see how truly the world at large – or to put it another way, the “larger” world – has imprisoned him. In a succession of shots, we see Appu inside the motorcycle cage, inside the lions’ cage, and finally, inside the worst prison of all, the clown mask, forever doomed to laughing through tears. The tragicomic travails of a clown aren’t new to the cultural scenario, whether as far back as Leoncavallo’s opera Pagliacci or as recently as Raj Kapoor’s Mera Naam Joker, but there’s an unusually demonic perspective to Appu. Rejected by the girl he loves, ridiculed by the mother he worships, he pours his heart out in that song, and at the end, when he flings the mask away, it lands on the branch of a nearby tree and dangles by its strap. That’s when we witness Appu’s transformation from benign to bedeviled, thanks to the morbidly crazed gleam in Kamal’s eyes, the spectral lighting of the scene, and the chilling sound effects that Ilayaraja provides in the background. Appu attempts suicide, but his mother intervenes and tells him the whole story, and you see a fiendish resolve descend upon him as he decides to become executioner. (He later mocks the hapless lawyer played by Jaishankar, “Idhu high court illa… my court.”) There’s finally a purpose to Appu’s life. He’s now a man possessed, and the grand conceit of the film is that he dispatches the villains through means that are as freakish, as “abnormal” as he is – the double-edged stunt gun, the funhouse rig that conceals an arrow, and his animal friends from the circus. (You can imagine Kamal murmuring while stooped over his screenplay draft, “Feed him to the lions.”) This sense of the freakish, the macabre, is the aspect that elevates Aboorva Sagotharargal from being just another masala movie (though it’s a testament to Kamal’s intelligence and skills that he suffuses the film with so much “traditional” entertainment that these Grand Guignol excursions in no way impede the enjoyment of the causal viewer). At first, it appeared to me that Kamal stumbled upon playing a dwarf simply because he pretended to be one in Punnagai Mannan, and he must have seen the gimmicky potential in a full-fledged extrapolation of such a character – but Appu is no mere gimmick. This dwarf is one the many, many reasons Kamal Haasan towers over much of what passes under the guise of Tamil cinema.

  Chinna pasanga etc edhavadhu vivaram theriyamalo, illa puriyamalo, aaruvakkolarula ularradhu sagajam. Those ariyaa vayasu ularals don't deserve any replies per se but i understand this post If there is any media outlet which *supports* Thalaivar in the true sense of the word, (No! not Vijay TV contrary to popular belief especially in recent times), it is only Jaya TV and nobody else. Some pointers about N.I television media which i've repeated ad nauseum over the years. Rather than taking my word for it, anybody can see for themselves with clearly available examples over the years. 1. They just parrot stereotypes and myths and grossly over simplistic generalizations. - South Indian = nethi pattai, thol thundu, vetti (they call it lungi), mild mannered, vegetarian, idly-sambar. This is the palakkad Brahmin they see in Mumbai (the Nellai Mumbaiite is not even represented) - Inga media la irundha/irukkara maayai, MGR=Collections, Sivaji=Acting. Collections naa MGR dhaan, Sivaji senjadhellam nadippu mattum dhaan. They do the same withRajini/Kamal - "Mind it" - I don't this needs any explanation - Check any interview of Thalaivar. If you show six differences between any two interviews in the last few years in mainstream N.I T.V channels and print media, .... kaattunapparam paappom.... "Stepping into politics" "Rajinikanth, rivalry, when are you two going to act together again" "Sarika" "Sri Devi" The baffling question is don;t they know the answers already? 2. Their local correspondents would have no clue whatsoever about realities of the place. His/her source would seldom be first hand. Its a sheer parroting of hearsay and myths. Even if they happen to report solid facts, chances are it would not be first hand. Though we have a lot of examples three instances rise above the others. 1. During the Orkut T shirt controversy, NDTV reported (as a "fact") that we notorious fraudster fans made money in crores (7 crores i think.)! Go figure! The source?: The man who masterminded the whole plot and who posed as he was the one who was solving the problem for us. Trichy post-holder Sarathy. Apparently, he had multiplied the cost of the T-shirt and the # of members in Orkut Thalaivar community Neither Sam Daniel or Natasha from NDTV bothered to even pause to think about this figure! 2. After Dasa FDFS @ Albert, two correspondents from Times Now were interviewing fans. One Mallu fan wanted to talk a line or two about Thalaivar discouraging smoking etc but they just brushed him aside. I just had a "polite" conversation (expanded English adaptation of Virumaandi interview scene) with them and they promised to reciprocate appropriately. Next day, they carried reports of the resounding "flop" of the film 3. Even after the release of Dasa, at least 3 N.I channels continued to show the fanous fake morped images of Dasa "getups"! What is baffling is, Headlines Today was the first choice "promoter" and they had Thalaivar appearing in a few shows/interviews and appo kooda they had these stills Thalaivar enna pannitrundhaaru nu therila! Adhavadhu, N.I channel la peru vandhadha ulaga magaa periya matter a orutharu sollittu comedy pannitrukkaar, adha paatha sirikka thaan mudiyidhu Recently he had published a list and thumped his chest in a similar manner.

  சென்னை: எச்.ஐ.வி., எய்ட்ஸ் பாதிப்புக்குள்ளான 1000 குழந்தைகளை தத்தெடுக்கவிருப்பதாக நடிகர் கமல் ஹாசன் கூறினார்.
  
  இன்று உலக எய்ட்ஸ் தினம். உலக அளவில் எய்ட்ஸால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டோரில் குழந்தைகள் அதிக அளவில் உள்ளனர். அவர்களுக்குத்தான் எச்.ஐ.வி. கிருமி பாதிப்பு வெகு சுலபமாக நடக்கிறது.
  
  தமிழகத்தில் 2,651 குழந்தைகள் இந்த ஆண்டு புதிதாக எச்ஐவி தாக்குதலுக்கு இலக்காகி உள்ளனர். இப்படிப்பட்ட குழந்தைகள் சமுதாயத்தால் புறக்கணிக்கப்படும் நிலை உள்ளது.
  
  இந்த நிலையில், எச்ஐவி, எய்ட்ஸால் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட குழந்தைகளுக்கு ஆதரவாக பெற்றால்தான் பிள்ளையா? என்ற ஒரு மாத கால பிரசார இயக்கத்தை `பாபுலேஷன் சர்வீசஸ் இன்டர்நேஷனல் என்ற அரசு சார்பற்ற அமைப்பும், ஹலோ எப்.எம். நிறுவனமும் இணைந்து இன்று தொடங்குகின்றன.
  
  இந்த ஒரு மாத காலத்தில், ஹலோ எப்.எம்.மில், எச்.ஐ.வி-எய்ட்ஸ் நோயின் தீமைகளைப் பற்றி நேயர்களுக்கு எடுத்துரைக்கப்படும். அத்துடன், எச்.ஐ.வி-எய்ட்ஸ் பாதித்த குழந்தைகளை தங்கள் குழந்தைகள் போல கருதி, உதவ முன்வருமாறு பிரசாரம் செய்யப்படும்.
  
  ஒரு குழந்தைக்கு ரூ.750 நன்கொடை அளிக்குமாறு நேயர்களுக்கு வேண்டுகோள் விடுக்கப்படும். நேயர்கள் அளிக்கும் ரூ.750 நன்கொடையை வைத்து, அந்த குழந்தையின் பெயரில் சுகாதார காப்பீடு எடுக்கப்படும். இது அக்குழந்தையின் எதிர்காலத்துக்கு பயன்படும்.
  
  இந்த பிரசார இயக்கத்துக்கு நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன் ஆதரவு தெரிவித்துள்ளார். மேலும் எச்ஐவி- எய்ட்ஸ் பாதித்த ஆயிரம் குழந்தைகளை தத்து எடுப்பதாகவும் அறிவித்துள்ளார்.
  
  இதுகுறித்து கமல்ஹாசன் கூறுகையில்,
  
  குழந்தைகள்தான் நமது எதிர்காலம். ஆனால் அவர்களில் சிலர் நம்பிக்கையின்மையின் பிடியில் சிக்கி இருப்பது கவலை அளிக்கிறது. அவர்களுக்கு நம்பிக்கையையும், மகிழ்ச்சியையும் அளிப்பது நமது கடமை, பொறுப்பு.
  
  ஆகவே, இந்த பிரசார இயக்கத்துக்கு தலைமை தாங்குவது எனக்கு ஆழ்ந்த திருப்தி அளிக்கிறது. என்னை பின்பற்றி பலரும் இந்த சேவையை செய்வார்கள் என்று நம்புகிறேன்.
  
  என்னை விட சிறந்தவர்களும், வசதியானவர்களும் இருக்கிறார்கள். நான் ஒரு இயக்கத்தை மட்டுமே தொடங்கி இருக்கிறேன் மற்றவர்கள் இதை முன்னெடுத்து செல்வார்கள் என்று நம்புகிறேன்.
  
  இந்த பிரசார இயக்கத்தை தொடங்கி உள்ள ஹலோ எப்.எம்.மையும், பிஎஸ்ஐ அமைப்பையும் பாராட்டுகிறேன் என்றார்.

  A trilogy on AIDS awareness
  
  On the occasion of World Aids Day, People’s AIDS Initiative, under the guidance of Krithika Udayanidhi, along with Alaihal MIDIA and Red Giant Movies had a grand launch of their trilogy on AIDS awareness at the Sathyam cinemas. Durgavathi Stalin lit the inaugural lamp. The classy event was well attended with the entire hall of the Sathyam cinema overflowing!
  
  Deputy CM Stalin, Kamal Hassan, Mayor of Chennai Ma Subramanian, Mysskin, Sasikumar, Fr Stephen, Dr Paul Sundar Singh, Fr Joe Andrew and Fr Raj were the dignitaries on the dais. The trilogy of short films has been directed by Krithika, Sasikumar and Mysskin and the three films are titled Life, Love and Hope respectively. Those who acted include Prasanna, Illavarasu and Lakshmi. The film fraternity was represented by KS Ravikumar, Dharani, Radha Mohan, PC Sreeram, Narain and others.
  
  A book on AIDS awareness was released and a dance performance was held by the students of Don Bosco Egmore. Speaking on the occasion, Kamal Hassan said, “People are not willing to talk openly about AIDS and such programmes will help in changing the mindset of society. I myself around ten years ago thought of doing a role as an AIDS patient with KS Ravikumar to direct but we abandoned the project since we were not sure about the response of audiences. The government is doing its bit and the film industry too has realized its responsibility and the partnership with social organizations that we see here today is an example of that.”
  
  Kamal has donated insurance amounts for 1500 children. The Mayor outlined the initiatives of the CM and the Deputy CM for AIDS awareness. He lauded the six city awareness programme being conducted by the organizers. “I request that these three films be screened in theatres before the feature films are screened,” he added. The three films were short and touching.
  
  
  Sasikumar recounted how a corporate had backed out of advertising for the short film once they came to know the films were about AIDS. “Such a mindset has to change and I am glad that I got to be a part of these films,” he said. Mysskin recounted how Krithika had come to him with the first draft and how he later suggested that she direct the film herself. “I want to tell Udayanidhi that there’s a director in his house,” quipped Mysskin. Krithika re-iterated her thanks to all present and to the deputy CM and Kamal Hassan in particular for gracing the event.

  Mani’s Nayagan in the top 20!
  By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 02 December , 2009, 12:47
  
  
  Three cheers to Mani Ratnam and Kamal Hassan, their celluloid classic Nayagan has been selected as one of the best among 20 films ever made in Indian cinema.
  
  It was a part of the T 20 of Indian films at a contest organized by the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), in association with the Entertainment Society of Goa.
  
  It is for the first time such a contest is being held at IFFI, and Nayagan is the only Tamil film chosen from different languages in the country.
  
  Please note that there were about 1.9 million entries to the T 20 Films contest, and the jury had a tough time selecting the final list.
  
  Among the 20, Bollywood films clearly have the edge. Take a look at the final 20 films- Mother India, Anand. Meghe Dhaka Tara, Charulata, Sholay, Do Bhiga Zamin, Guide, Mughal-e-Azam, Pyasa, Bhuvan Shome, Garam Hawa, Ghatashraddha, Elipathayam, Kagaz ke Phool, Pather Panchali, Sant Tukaram, Madhumati, Jane Bhi Do Yaro, and Nayagan

  The big buzz doing rounds in Kollywood is that Venkat Prabhu will be joining hands with none other than Kamal Haasan. According a reliable source Venkat Prabhu had met Kamal Haasan recently and also narrated a script to him. Pleased with the inspiring story, the theme of which is reportedly similar to the Hollywood film Taken the actor has also given his nod to work with the filmmaker, but has reportedly demanded a huge sum as remuneration. Since Venkat Prabhu has a commitment to producer Siva, he wanted to make the film in the latter’s banner Amma Creations. Now, it is learnt that Prabhu and Siva are negotiating with the actor and working out the budget as they are keen to begin work on this film soon. [/tscii]

  எச்சரித்தார் கமல்! இறுகிப்போன மிஷ்கின் முகம்!
  
  இன்று உலக எய்ட்ஸ் தினம். கமல் உள்ளிட்ட திரையுலக பிரபலங்கள் மூன்று குறும்படங்களை வெளியிட்டார்கள். ஆச்சர்யம் என்னவென்றால் இந்த மூன்று குறும்படங்களின் கதையும் கிருத்திகா உதயநிதி எழுதியது. உயிர் என்ற தலைப்பில் ஒரு ஷார்ட் பிலிமை அவரே இயக்கியும் இருக்கிறார். உறவு என்ற கதையை சசிக்குமார் இயக்க, உண்மை என்ற கதையை மிஷ்கின் இயக்கியிருந்தார். இந்த விழாவில்தான் கமலின் வருகையும்!
  
  ஒவ்வொரு விழாவிலும் அதிகப்படியாக பேசி வாங்கிக் கட்டிக் கொள்ளும் மிஷ்கின் இந்த மேடையிலும் அதை செவ்வனே செய்தார். “கிருத்திகா வந்து எங்கிட்ட ஒரு கதையை கொடுத்தாங்க. இல்லம்மா... இப்படியெல்லாம் எழுதக் கூடாது. கொஞ்சம் மாத்தி எழுதிட்டு வாங்கன்னு சொன்னேன். மறுபடியும் அவர் எழுதிட்டு வந்தது திருப்தியா இல்லே. திரும்பவும் மாத்தி எழுதிட்டு வாங்கன்னு சொன்னேன். திரும்பவும் மாத்திட்டு வந்தாங்க” என்று சொல்லிக் கொண்டே போனார். பின்பு யார் யாரோ பேசினார்கள். யாருமே இந்த விஷயத்தை அவ்வளவு பெரிதாக கோடிட்டு காட்டவில்லை. ஆனால் கமல் விடுவாரா?
  
  மிஷ்கின் பக்கம் திரும்பி, “ஒருத்தர் ஒரு விஷயம் பண்றாங்க. அதுக்கு நாம ஆதரவா இருக்கணும். நிறைய வார்த்தைகளை விடக் கூடாது. வார்த்தைகளை விட்டா வாழ்க்கையை விட்டுருவோம். வார்த்தையை விட்டாலும் கஷ்டம்தான். வாழ்க்கையை விட்டாலும் கஷ்டம்தான்” என்று கூற, மிஷ்கின் முகத்தில் நிழலாடவில்லை.

  The video is posted on the indiaglitz website. Myssadhaiyai was as usual in his humour mood and was talking jovially. Maybe he wanted to show the excellence and patience of Kirthika..
  
  Kamal then came on, and just said politely about Myssadhai's reference to re-write the script. and as we know thalaivar, onnu pesa aarambichaa adhu appaidya noolaatum pogum .. appa thaan "vaarthaiya vitta eduka mudiyadhu" came in.. He also talked about "pagutharivu"
  
  idhai nam arivaaligal payanpaduthi, Myssadhaiyai mattam thattugiraargal.
  
  another thing to wonder, since Myssadhaiyai might direct Kamal next, the media has started to degrade him and depromote the unannounced movie yet..

  கமல்ஹாசன் நடிக்கும் படத்தை மிஷ்கின் இயக்குவது சந்தேகம் என்ற தகவல்கள் கோலிவுட் வட்டாரத்தில் கசிந்தது. அதெல்லாம் இல்லை, கமலை இயக்குவது உறுதி என்ற தகவல் மிஷ்கின் வட்டாரத்தில் சொல்லப்படுகிறது. ஸ்கிரிப்ட் ஒர்க்கை முடித்துள்ள மிஷ்கின், தலைப்பை உறுதி செய்யவில்லையாம். வரும் பிப்ரவரியில் ஷூட்டிங் தொடங்குகிறது. தயாரிப்பு நிறுவன ஒப்பந்தத்தில் இன்னும் கையெழுத்து போடாததால், தற்போது எந்த தகவலும் சொல்ல முடியாது என்றும் அவரது தரப்பு கூறுகிறது.

  Is ‘Dasavatharam’ Duo Joining Hands Again?
  
  Post-Dasavatharam, the entire town has been ardently looking out for the duo combo: Kamal Haasan-K.S. Ravikumar. Now, we hear that both of them have been involved in script discussions. Totting up to this euphoria is the fact that it will be produced by Udayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant Movies.
  
  It’s noteworthy that K.S.R and Udhayanidhi Stalin have been sharing good rapport ever since they teamed up for Surya starrer ‘Aadhavan’.
  
  One of the closest sources states the things on the initial phase now and will be decided shortly with official announcements. Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan seems to have been approached by Bharath Bala productions for ’19 Steps’ which was shelved before a year.
  
  However now, nothing on these projects have been confirmed from any ends.

  Kamal's next with K S Ravikumar
  
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, December 09, 2009]
  
  A fullstop has been finally put to a guessing game. Kamal Haasan's forthcoming film will be directed by K S Ravikumar, who wielded the megaphone for the actor's magnum opus 'Dasavatharam'.
  
  The mega budget extravaganza would be produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin for Red Giant Movies, say sources in the know. It is going to be a quickie however, they add.
  
  "Since it will take some time to start Kamal's dream project directed by Mysskin, he wants to fill the gap by delivering a quickie. Hence he zeroed in on Ravikumar, his lucky mascot," they say.
  
  On Udhayanidhi producing the film, they say, "It was the young producer's dream to make a movie with Kamal in the lead. It is coming true now."
  
  

• From: Bala (Karthik) on Wed Dec 9 2:59:30 2009.

  Just spoke to our source. It seems this might be true. KSR, Udhayanidhi. Looks like Vishnuvardhan and others met Thalaivar before this but Thalaivar has decided to go with KSR. This will be a fund raiser and time pass project for Thalaivar

  I dont have a good feeling Bala about KSR. Apart from the aesthetic objections, I feel he may not deliver a commercial money maker either given his current levels of grip on the tamil masses' taste. Think of it this way - what if this one bombs critically AND commercially, thereby postponing the dream projects even further?

  Kamal to do a Ravikumar film?
  By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 09 December , 2009, 12:00
  
  
  It is almost confirmed that Kamal Hassan is going to do his next film with his all time favourite director KS Ravikumar for producer Udayanidhi Stalin and his Red Giant Movies.
  
  The Kamal-Ravikumar film is likely to start as early as January 2010, and [b]will be a comedy cum action film with regular commercial ingredients[b]. It will be a quickie and is sure to hit the theatres in July/August.
  
  The rest of the details are being worked out by Ravikumar and his team.

  As a fanboy, yes. But I think they've already made just too many films in the same vein. And I think Kamal has also completely lost interest in this kind of projects.

  கலைஞரிடமிருந்து விருது பெற்றதை விட, அவருக்கு நானும் ரஜினி யும் சேர்ந்து விருது கொடுத்த கலைஞானி கமல் ஹாஸன்.
  
  தசாவதாரம் படத்துக்காக 2008-ம் ஆண்டின் சிறந்த நடிகருக்கான விருது பெற்ற கமல்ஹாசன் தனது ஏற்புரையாக பேசியதாவது:
  
  "இந்த ஏற்புரையை நான் சொல்வேன் என எதிர்பார்க்கவில்லை. எதுவும் தெரியாமல் இங்கு வந்தேன். நான் பிறப்பதற்கு முன்னால் எழுதிய வசனங்களை இங்கு சொல்லலாம் என்று வந்தேன். கலைஞர் எழுதிய வசனங்களை நடிகர் திலகம் சிவாஜியிடம் நான் பேசிக் காட்டி இருக்கிறேன். ஒருமுறை கூட கலைஞர் முன்பு பேசிக் காட்டும் வாய்ப்பு கிடைக்கவில்லை.
  
  இன்று இங்கே வடிவேல் படித்த வாழ்த்து பாடலில், கலைஞர் நடந்து சென்ற பாதையில் ஏற்படும் புழுதியில் புரள்வேன் என்று ஒரு வரி இருந்தது. கலைஞர் நடந்து சென்று கிளப்பிய புழுதியில் நனைந்தவர்கள், நாங்கள். ஒரு தலைமுறையை தாண்டி கூட, இன்னும் அந்த புழுதியில் குளித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறோம்.
  
  இந்த விழா சரித்திரத்தில் இடம்பெறும். எங்கள் கையினால் உங்களுக்கு விருது வழங்கியதை எங்கள் பேரக் குழந்தைகளிடம் கூட பெருமையோடு சொல்லிக் கொள்வோம். அதற்காக உங்களுக்கு நன்றி சொல்வதா, வாழ்த்துவதா என்று புரியவில்லை.
  
  எனக்கு ரஜினிக்கும் இடையே பொறாமை இல்லை:
  
  எனக்கும், ரஜினிக்கும் இடையே பொறாமை இல்லை. நாங்கள் பொறாமைப்பட்டது, குஷ்பு தமிழில் பேசியதை பார்த்துதான். கலைஞர் என் பக்கம் திரும்பி, குஷ்பு தமிழில் பேசுவதை பார்த்தாயா? என்று கேட்டார். அந்த அளவுக்கு குஷ்பு தமிழில் பேசி, தனி விருதை தட்டிக்கொண்டு போய்விட்டார். அவருக்கு என் வாழ்த்துக்கள்.
  
  கலைஞர் உடல் நலக்குறைவு காரணமாக விழாவுக்கு தாமதமாக வருவதாகக் கூறினார். அவர் எங்களிடம் சொல்ல வேண்டிய அவசியம் இல்லை. அப்படி சொன்னது, அவருடைய பண்பு. அந்த பண்பை கண்டு நாங்கள் வியந்தோம். இன்னும் அவரிடம் பாடம் படித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறோம். இந்த விழாவை வேகமாக நடத்தி முடிக்க வேண்டியது எங்கள் கடமை.
  
  விழாவில் கலந்துகொண்டு விருது வழங்கியதை அவர் கடமை என்று நினைத்து செய்யவில்லை. உரிமை என்று நினைத்து செய்தார். இது, சரித்திரத்தில் இடம்பெறும். இந்த விழாவில் நானும் பங்கு பெற நேர்ந்ததற்காக நன்றி.
  
  ரஜினிக்கு என் வாழ்த்துக்கள். அவர் (எந்திரன்) படத்தை சீக்கிரமே முடித்து வெளியிட வேண்டும் என்று ரசிகர்கள் சார்பில் நான் கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறேன்..." என்றார் கமல்

  Mysskin confirms Kamal Haasan’s project Mysskin was spotted so miffed with his producers since his producers of ‘Nandhalala’ had no plans about releasing this film. But now, the closer sources of Mysskin have confirmed that he will be starting his production works with Kamal Haasan from February. Since, the producers haven’t signed on the dotted lines, Mysskin and Kamal Haasan aren’t ready to make official announcements. Meanwhile, Mysskin has almost completed penning the final draft and few modifications are slightly to be made over the screenplay. Since, there are couple of months left for February, both Mysskin and Kamal Haasan are seemingly started off with casting actors in this untitled film. Let’s hope Mysskin finds resurgence with this film since he has been drenched in troubled waters for past one year. http://www.kollywoodtoday.com/news/mysskin-confirms-kamal-haasans-project/

  Lucky Tamannah to team up with Kamal December 09, 2009 It’s official now; it’s not Mysskin but KSR who will direct Kamal in his next project. This brings down the curtain on the very many rumors speculating in the industry. This short-term venture will go on floors in January 2010 and is likely to be released in August 2010. To be produced by Udayanidi Stalin, this as-yet-untitled comedy flick will be Kamal’s next after the critically and commercially successful Unnaipol Oruvan. We hear that Tamannah is expected to play the lead opposite Kamal. It’s also learnt that the Punjabi lass has already reserved her dates to make room for this Kamal – KSR venture. http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/dec-09-02/kamal-tamannah-k-s-ravikumar-09-12-09.html

'உளியின் ஓசை' என்று சொல்வதற்கு மாறாக, 'ஒளியின் ஓசை' என்றார். இவ்வாறாக தமிழை பாடாய்படுத்திய குஷ்பு, ஒரு கட்டத்தில், "பெரியாரின் கொள்கைகளை" என்று சொல்வதற்கு பதிலாக "பெரியாரின் கொள்ளைகளை" என்றதும் அனைவரும் அதிர்ந்து போனார்கள். ஆனாலும் விழா குழுவினர் அசராமல் அனுமதித்தனர் குஷ்புவை.

  I think the video needs to be seen whether there was really murder of the lang or not (very difficult to nowadays accept the reporting as such - one popular website reported a very casual remark of IR as 'IR humiliates ONV' and the misinterpretation led to politician's comment, director's reply etc)
  
  It's very difficult to believe the report as this lady has been in the state for 20+ years, married to a local, acted in movies / TV and still cannot speak simple Thamizh
  
  (I was watching portions of MMKR last night, still fresh in mind the scenes of Shalini & Raju / Kama and if she has pulled off such competent stuff without any knowledge of the language - koLLai v/s koLgai etc, she must be a miracle)

  I also see that he really looks different. Not sure if he has undergone any surgery or something on his nose (if he did, I'm pretty sure it would have become a big news by now).
  
  Another fanboy concern for me is that he seems to have got out of shape for quite sometime now. The last time I could see a trimmer/fitter Kamal was in Virumandi. I know he had to put on some weight for his role in Vasool Raja but since then his shape has gone downhill.

  Bala,
  That's what I meant.He seems to have a great comfort level with KSR-maybe he has it in him to do what you mentioned-'listen' and 'work'.
  
  But why is he treading the beaten path by not trying to work with others,endha vaarthai(compromise) avarukku pidikkadho,athaye senjukittirukkaru in the choice of director.
  
  I really feel, for the attitude he has now,it's best he writes,directs and produces himself.To start with small productions,make money,justify yourself as a full time director capable of churning out BO hits and then dive into the big ones.
  
  Actually late,he should started this in the beginning of the decade.

  AV,
  Kamal and Mani did discuss a story (Mani) a year or two back. Yerkanave sonna madhiri, financial terms othu varla. If i'm not wrong, Mani had a discussion with Rajini also subsequently...

  great imagination all i meant was mani is occupied with other projects that he cant allocate time for more......mani has already finalised his next project after ravan - thats meticulous and thats y i felt "mani summadhaane irukkan- kamal-a vechhi padam edukkatumme" suggestion offensive....

  Maddy,
  Plum just said indha pasangalukku ellam padam panradhukku Mani kooda panlaame. This is not undermining Mani. Rather it means, since the perceived problem with Kamal is "give and take" and when he can "give and take" with VV, KSR etc why not with Mani
  
  

• From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Thu Dec 10 10:34:07 2009.

  the point that mani or kamal summa irukkaanga can be only after their retirement. and ppl who asks for a mani-kamal combo never look at what they r doing at that moment, for that matter, any moment.
  
  btw, ksr kavutham kambarision with mani ellaam mahaa paavam.
  
  regarding maddy's statement that why shud mani do a compromise for kamal, i feel he need not do that at all... i remember a old interview where mani once said, kamal haasan is the most flexible hero for any director to work with( inspite of his superstar image) i think even sangar and kb had said similarly at some interviews

  What about virumandi? As many people say here, Kamal does not need one. Kamal looking for others is like kani irukka kAi kavarndhaRRu. The only problem is, Kamal is ahead of his times. Ventures like Mahanadhi(Director santhana bharathy good joke), Hey Ram proved that one. Movies like Marudhanaayagam would have got funds easily if he were born in Hollywood.

  Not even single review that I read during those times gave credit to Santhanabharathy for that movie. If Santhanabharathy really pulled out movies like Mahanadhi and Guna on his own, he would have been considered one of the greatest directors in Tamil cinema.

  If Kh is the one who is the director and SB was a "edu pidi" as you guys claim, why does he "dishonor" him by giving such a "great credit"?

  Hmmm. Yeah, I got an offer to work in the remake of Kamal Haasan’s classic, Sathya. But I declined, since you cannot re-enact a Kamal Haasan performance. He has already done it. Just like one cannot rebuild a Qutub Minar or a Taj Mahal, this is also not possible.

  More merry for kamalfans
  
  Udhayanidhi Debuts With Kamal Haasan
  The star fever is a frenzy that already caught up with producer Udhayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant movies. He took a trial run with Suriya and KS Ravikumar in 'Aadhavan' while plans were finalized for his debut as a solo hero.
  
  Postponing the plans for a short time, KS Ravikumar who will be producing the next movie for Red Giant with Kamal Haasan in the lead had come up with a different idea. He had conceived the script in such a way that a character which tags along the lead in the whole movie is part of the script.
  
  We need not clarify here that the shadow cat will be enacted by Udhayanidhi who would work beside the mighty actor Kamal Haasan in the upcoming production.
  
  The unnamed movie will go to the floors after the cast and crew is decided upon.

  Putting speculations about his next project to rest, Kamal Haasan has announced that he would team up with director K.S. Ravikumar once again. Kamal Haasan has also said that the film would be produced by Udayanidhi Stalin’s Red Giant Movies. Talks for the film would begin in a couple of days, Ravikumar told The Hindu. Announcement about the film and star cast is expected to be out next week.
  
  It is the second joint project after a year for the two, who made waves with their earlier film, Dasavatharam. For Ravikumar, it is the successive project with Red Giant Movies.
  
  His previous film was the Suriya-starrer, Aadhavan, where he had cast Udayanidhi Stalin in a cameo appearance. Sources said Kamal Haasan might hold his proposed project with director Mysskin to work on this. Ravikumar said he would be glad to work with Kamal after the success of Dasavatharam. He hoped that their new film would awe the audience with its impressive storyline.

  A few days back we had reported about Kamal Hassan doing his next film with director KS Ravikumar for producer Udayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant Movies.
  
  Uday had made an impressive cameo appearance in the climax of his Aadhavan a few weeks back. Now, as per Kollywood grapevine, Ravikumar has made a rip roaring comedy script with Kamal as the centre character in which Uday too has a pivotal role. Uday has recently done a photo shoot which said to be very impressive.
  
  The film is said to be a buddy-buddy movie with some hilarious twists and turns, which will be a good platform for Uday’s launch in the company of Kamal Hassan. In short Uday will get a fantastic author backed role which will make him win over audiences rather than doing in your face action hero, which would have alienated the viewers.
  Ravikumar understands commercial cinema and how to reach across to the audiences, and his strategy is sure to pay off. Meanwhile the untitled film is a quickie which is likely to have music by Harris Jayaraj, while the technical crew will be those who had worked in Aadhavan.
  
  Though there are rumours that Tamannaah is likely to be the heroine, sources close to the actress says she has no dates as she is busy trying to complete three films and has two others to start. The heroine is likely to be chosen from the senior quartet of Asin, Nayanthara, Shriya or Trisha depending on those who can give priority ‘Tatkal’ dates.
  
  The market buzz is that Kamal Hassan has been paid a bomb to do the film which will start rolling in January. The quickie may hit the screen as early as June 2010.
  
  
  Hmmmmmmmm !

  First Suriya, now Kamal!
  Kamal Haasan has signed a film that will be directed by KS Ravi Kumar. This film is to be produced by Udayanidhi Stalin’s Red Giant Movies. And Udajyanidhi will not just be content producing the film this time. He will don an important role in the film. The producer also went for a photo shoot recently and has got the green signal from the director.
  
  While there were reports that Udayanidhi will be featuring with Kamal in the entire film, he denied it and made it clear that his role will be very crucial to the storyline.
  
  It is worth a mention here that Udayanidhi made a cameo in Aadhavan and it was well received. Following this, he is taking a big leap with veteran actor Kamal Haasan for company.

  Well, I saw the video, anban! It seems Kh was seriously involved in those movies and makes his contributions as suggestions and what not.
  
  Still I find hard to say, SB contribution is not much at all.
  
  Not just Kh but even if it is MGR or Sivaji or Rajni, when they reach this stage of their career, there is going to be quite a bit of suggestions from them to any director they associate with.

  Tamizh,
  Kamal himself has explicitly said in interviews about his ghost-direction! (i don't have the links for those - read one interview in an in-flight magazine, can't trace the links for the other interview(s)). There are certain films he does for directors purely as an actor without even suggestions, there are some where he gives considerable suggestions and then there are his ghost directed films (of course apart from films which officially have his name in the Director slot).
  Guna, Mahanadhi ellam ghost-directed ragathai serndhavai.

  story and screenplay takes away fifty percent of credit from director. story and well written screenplay takes away 75% credit from director. I saw few interviews of kamal where he discussed about the way in which he writes the screenplay of the movie. It pretty much takes away everything from director. There was a fight between kamal and bharathan during thevar magan. After the movie's regular schedule is over bharathan went back to kerala. Kamal wanted to reshoot one scene in that movie and he asked bharathan to come but he said he was not required. Only takecatches like SB, sundar and pc sriram to some extend only can handle these situations. I really don't know what else i can say about this.

  It says dasa collected 100 Crores and also speaks about the profit sharing/pay that Thalaiver got for dasa. Note that this article came in july 09 whereas the movie released on june 13, so here is one proof whch says dasa garnered 100 cr even before one month

  this is probably the first (and only) time i differ from you.
  
  Yes, Viv is right, PA had spoken abt that in an interview to Kumudam around 2004 (post virumaandi, when aandavar had not committed to VR MBBS, there were rumours that PA might produce aandavar's next movie)
  
  In that interview, he had revealed that
  
  1) PA was not associated with AS to begin with. the movie was just supposed to be a KH-Crazy combo. But KH was not very happy with the first copy of AS (post production). on a friendly basis he screened the movie to PA who suggested a few alterations which were incorporated into the movie.
  
  2) the distributors felt that the climax scenes of aalavandaan, especially the motive of killings/justification dialogues lacked depth. the scenes were screened to PA and he suggested a few changes to the climax scenes and KH implemented them. (including the dialogue which goes like "my motive is to save you from your wife, not to kill you. if i want i can shoot you down on your face, and your bullet proof jacket and helmet wont save you"

  கமலுக்கு யார் ஜோடி?
  
  
  உதயநிதி தயாரிப்பில் கமல் நடிக்கும் பட வேலைகள் ஜரூராகத் துவங்கியிருக்கின்றன. கே.எஸ். ரவிக்குமார் இயக்கப் போகும் இந்த படத்தில் கமலுடன் ஜோடி சேரப் போவது யார்? எல்லாரும் தமன்னா பக்கம் கை நீட்ட, "யாருமே இதுவரை என்னை அப்ரோச் பண்ணவில்லை" என்கிறார் தமன்னா. "கமல் சாருடன் நடிப்பது எனக்கு கிடைத்த பாக்கியம்" என்றெல்லாம் அவர் கூறியும் அந்த பக்கம் 'பிளாங்க் கால்' கூடக் கொடுக்கவில்லையாம் கமல் தரப்பில்.
  
  ஏன் இந்த புறக்கணிப்பு? காரணம் புரியவில்லை. ஆனால் கமலின் பார்வை நயன்தாரா பக்கம் இருப்பதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. மர்மயோகிக்காக த்ரிஷாவுக்குக் கொடுத்த அட்வான்ஸ் அப்படியேதான் இருக்கிறது. ஆனாலும் அது குறித்து எவ்வித முயற்சியும் எடுக்காத கமல், இந்த படத்தில் நயன்தாராவை நடிக்க வைக்கலாமா என்று யோசித்துவருகிறாராம். சம்பள விவகாரங்கள் சரியாக அமைந்தால், நயன்தாரா-கமல் டூயட் பாட 90 சதவீதம் வாய்ப்பிருக்கிறது என்கிறது கோடம்பாக்கத்துப் பட்சி.

  I still believe its PA gave a separate column on one weekly magazine( guess its kungumam) . On the other side, Dhanu said he insisted Kamal badly to show this film to Sujatha and PA before the release to collect their corrections if needed but kamal never had an interest to consult them.

  following the tsunami, mahanathi chitfund, here comes the updated kamal prophecy - ubayam aarkut, yaarum ennai thitaatheengo please
  
  1. All of us know about the sms which stated thalaivar's prophecy.But according to it things dealt by thalaivar in muvs wud happen in society soon r later aft the muvi release, if u see in that sense another thing happened recently to r thalaivar himself.
  Nothin to worry....
  Take the dasa openin scene in which thalaivar will receive award frm indian PM(Manmohan singh re elected aft elections) and TN CM . See this year wat happnd?
  Yeah! Thalaivar received the state award frm CM and yesterday indian of the year spl award frm PM.
  
  2. மும்பை தாக்குதல்களில் தொடர்பு என அமெரிக்காவில் கைதான டேவிட் ஹெட்லீ ஒரு முன்னால் CIA ஏஜெண்டாம் (தசாவதாரம் ஃப்ளெட்சர் பாத்திரம்)
  
  http://tamilkothu.blogspot.com/2009/12/blog-post.html
  
  3. Another dialogue from Dasa in the US Beagle Lab.
  
  "Tell me Dr.Sedhu. Ennai madhiri oru muttal scientistum Hanu madhiri gettikarathanama thappichu pona oru kurangumdhan innaikku ulagathaiye aatti padaichittu irukkira AIDS-ukku kaaranamnu naan solren. Can you say no to that?"

  Incidentally, both the tsunami and the chit fund issues were, as one would expect from an artist of that calibre, recording of his personal experiences.
  1. Tsunami was inspired by the death of his friend gollapudi maruti rao's son in a similar manner in vizag. Gollapudi venkateswara rao died while shooting a still for the title card of his first movie - he wanted a stylish shot of him with surging waves in the background. Unfortunateloy, the waves that surged were too high and swallowed him.
  2. Chit fund incident happened to his dance masterr guru thangappan.
  It is these seamless integration of personal experience into his movies that makes kamal the artist that he is.

'களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா'வில் இருந்து 'உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவன்' வரை கமல் கடந்து வந்த பாதை தமிழ் சினிமா வுக்கு தலைமுறைகளைத் தாண்டிய தர்பார். 50-வருடங்களில் கமல் தமிழ்த் திரைக்குத் தந்தது மகத்தான மாற்றங்கள். ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் கமல் முன்னெடுத்த புதுப்புது பரிசோதனை முயற்சிகள் ஆரோக்கியச் சரித்திரம். அவர் செப்பனிட்ட பாதையில் பல இளைய படைப்பாளிகள் பயப்படாமல் பயணம் போனார்கள். படத்துக்குப் படம் அவர் எடுக்கிற மெனக்கெடலும் உழைப்பும் எல்லோருக்கு மான எனர்ஜி பாடம். விதவிதமான கேரக்டர்கள், கெட்-அப்கள், உடல்மொழி என கமலின் கைபடாத ரசங்கள் இல்லை. அதற்கான மரியாதையாக இந்திய சினிமாவே கூடிக் கொண்டாடி எடுத்த பொன் விழா, நெகிழ்ச்சியில் நிரம்பியது. விழா மேடையில் பேசிய ரஜினி, 'கமல் என் கலையுலக அண்ணா' என்றார். நிச்சயமாகத் தேடலிலும் தீராதத் தாகத்திலும் உணர்வுபூர்வமான கலைக் காதலிலும் கமல் என்றென்றும் நம்பர் ஒன் படைப்பாளி!

  நயன்தாராவுக்கு நாமம்? போட்டியில் இறங்கிய த்ரிஷா
  
  வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு, வசூல்ராஜா எம்.பி.பி.எஸ், தசாவதாரம், உன்னைப்போல் ஒருவன் இப்படி நான்கு தொடர் ஹிட் கொடுத்த லேட்டஸ்ட் நாயகன் கமல்! இவரைப்போலவே தொடர் ஹிட் பார்ட்டி நம்ம தனுஷ். பொல்லாதவன், திருவிளையாடல், படிக்காதவன், யாரடி நீ மோகினி! இதுதான் தனுஷின் ஹாட் லிஸ்ட்.
  
  ஒரு ஹிட் கொடுத்தாலே ஒரு கோடியை ஏற்றிக் கொடுக்கும் தமிழ்சினிமாவில், இந்த தொடர்ஹிட் இருவரையும் ராசாதி ராசாவாக்கியிருக்கிறது. இவர்களுடன் ஜோடி சேர ஒரே போட்டா போட்டி. அதிலும், கமலை விட வயதில் மிக மிக சிறியவரான தனுஷிடம் ஜோடி போட கெஞ்சும் அதே நடிகைகள், கமலுடனும் ஜோடி போட அலைவதுதான் கனவுலகத்தின் கட்டாயமாக இருக்கிறது.
  
  அதிலும் நயன்தாராவுக்கும் தமன்னாவுக்கும் மறுபடியும் ஒரு நேரடி போட்டி. குருவியில் துவங்கிய இந்த போட்டி, இப்போது கமலிடமும் தொடர்வதுதான் லேட்டஸ்ட் லடாய். மர்மயோகியில் விட்டதை யாருக்கும் விட்டுக் கொடுக்க கூடாது என்ற முயற்சியில் இறங்கிவிட்டாராம் த்ரிஷா. இந்திக்கு போய் விட்டாலும், நாற்பதே நாளில் அந்த படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு முடிந்து விடும் என்ற நம்பிக்கையில் இருக்கிறார் அவர்.
  
  தனக்காக நாற்பது நாட்கள் பொறுத்திருக்க சொல்கிறாராம். கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார், கமல் இருவரும் பொறுத்திருந்தால் நயன்தாராவுக்கு வழக்கம் போல நாமம்தான்!

  UPO Among Top 10 Blockbusters in South(2009)
  
  “Unnai Pol Oruvan” (Tamil-Telugu); Director: Chakri Tholeti; Cast: Kamal Haasan and Mohan Lal.
  
  A remake of critically acclaimed Hindi film “A Wednesday”, it was a co-production of UTV and Raj Kamal International. RED Camera was used in the film, a first in the southern film industry. Though the exact figure is not known, the film did rake in enough profits.

  2009 is an year of scoop. apart from a remake we didnt get to see anything. here another scoop at the year end
  
  Gouthami to direct KB in a Kamal Production
  
  For a long time Kamal Haasan wanted to make his mentor K. Balachandar a hero. He even had a pucca script ready for his guru. But KB sir wasn’t interested to come in front of the camera when Kamal wanted then.
  
  But now the veteran director has started acting and has completed two films ‘Muriyadi’ and ‘Rettai Suzhi’ with the newer generation directors. This has prompted Kamal to renew his request once again to his guru and it seems the director has yielded to his most talented pupil and agreed to act in the film.
  
  Surprises don’t end here. Gouthami who involved herself in the making of all the Kaml films in various capacities from ‘Virumandi’ onwards will direct K Balachandar in the new film. Shruthi Haasan who debuted in ‘Unnaipol Oruvan’ as the music director will strike the chords for this movie also. And also one of Kamal’s favaourite actor Madhavan will do a central role in the film.
  
  And Kamal? He will do the script writing. All in the great family and we don’t complain.
  
  Whatever it is, the deadly combination of the film will surely to be in the headlines from start to finish.

  Don't Worry TMji... IMO KH has accepted this movie to please the Udayanidhi/kalaignar TV camp which was a bit upset on the 50th year function of KH has gone away from them to Vijay TV.
  
  KH prefers KSR mostly because he handles the producer in a better way so that KH need not get any problems in the finance part and will get the liberty in filming as he would like to...

  ஒரே படத்தில் இணைகின்றனர் கமல், கவுதமி ஸ்ருதி: மாதவன், பாலசந்தரும் நடிக்கின்றனர்
  
  
  சென்னை, டிச. 28-
  
  கமல், ஸ்ருதி, கவுதமி புதுப்படம் மூலம் இணைகின்றனர். கமலின் சொந்த நிறுவனமான ராஜ்கமல் நிறுவனமே இதை தயாரிக்கிறது. கமல் வித்தியாசமான காமெடி கேரக்டரில் நடிக்கிறார். படத்துக்கு இன்னும் பெயர் வைக்கவில்லை.
  
  இதில் டைரக்டர் கே.பாலசந்தர், மாதவன் ஆகியோரும் நடிக்கின்றனர். ஏற்கனவே குரு பாலசந்தரை நடிக்க வைக்க பேசி வருவதாக கமல் கூறி இருந்தார். அது உறுதிபடுத்தப்பட்டு உள்ளது.
  
  பாலசந்தர் ஆரம்பத்தில் படங்களில் நடிப்பதை தவிர்த்தார். ஆனால் தற்போது தாமிரா இயக்கும் ரெட்டைச்சுழி மற்றும் சொந்த பேனரில் தயாரிக்கும் முறியடி படங்களில் முக்கிய வேடத்தில் நடிக்கிறார். அதன் தொடர்ச்சியாக கமல்படத்தில் நடிக்கவும் சம்மதம் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
  
  மாதவன் கேரக்டரும் முக்கியத்துவம் வாய்ந்ததாக உருவாக்கப்பட்டு உள்ளது.
  
  இந்த படத்தை கவுதமி இயக்குவார் என்று பேச்சு அடிபடுகிறது. அவரிடம் கேட்டபோது “இதையெல்லாம் நினைத்து பார்க்கவே முடியவில்லை. சினிமா எடுப்பதற்கான என் திறமையை நீரூபிக்க நீண்ட தூரம் போக வேண்டியது உள்ளது. பாலசந்தர்சாரை நான் டைரக்டு செய்கிறேன் என்பதெல்லாம் கற்பனை செய்து பார்க்க முடியாதது” என்றார்.
  
  இப்படத்துக்கு கமல் மகள் ஸ்ருதி இசையமைக்கிறார். இவர் “உன்னைப்போல் ஒருவன்” படத்துக்கு இசையமைத்துள்ளார் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

  விஜய் டி.வி அழைப்பு கமல் மீண்டும் சம்மதம்!
  
  கலைஞானி கமல்ஹாசனுக்கு விழா எடுத்து கவுரவித்தது விஜய் டி.வி. ஒட்டுமொத்த தமிழ்சினிமாவும் கலந்து கொண்ட இந்த விழா, சின்னத்திரை ரசிகர்களுக்கு பெரும் கொண்டாட்டமாக அமைந்தது. தமிழ் திரையுலகில் நடிக்க வந்து ஐம்பது ஆண்டுகளை பூர்த்தி செய்த கமலுக்கு பொன்விழா நடத்திய விஜய் டிவி, அதன் மூலம் தனது உயரத்தை இன்னும் சில அங்குலம் வளர்த்துக் கொண்டது.
  
  'காலங்களில் அவள் வசந்தம் மாதிரி, கலைகளில் அவர் கமல்ஹாசன்' என்ற பெருமையை ஏற்படுத்திக் கொடுத்த விஜய் டிவிக்கு கைமாறாக ஏதாவது செய்து தனது நன்றியை தெரிவிக்க நினைத்தாராம் கமல். "என்ன வேணுமோ கேளுங்க...?" என்று அவர் சொல்ல, விஜய் டி.வி கேட்டதுதான் விசேஷம்!
  
  "நீங்களே பங்குபெரும் ஷோ ஒன்றை ஏற்பாடு செய்கிறோம். அதில் உங்களின் முழுமையான பங்களிப்பு வேண்டும்" இதுதான் விஜய் டி.வி கேட்ட விஷயம். அதாவது இந்தியில் அமிதாப் செய்தாரே கோடீஸ்வரன் நிகழ்ச்சி! அது மாதிரி ஒரு ஷோ. முதலில் யோசித்த கமல், தற்போது அதற்கும் ஓ.கே சொல்லியிருக்கிறாராம். நடிகர்களில் உலக ஞானம் பெற்றவர் கமல் என்பது பலருக்கும் தெரிந்த விஷயம்தான். இப்போது அவர் நடத்தப் போகும் ஷோ, அதை இன்னும் தெளிவுபடுத்தும் என்பது மட்டும் நிச்சயம்!

  பா படத்தை தமிழில் ரீமேக் செய்யும் இளையராஜா!
  பா திரைப்படத்தை தமிழில் ரீமேக் செய்யும் முயற்சியில் இறங்கியுள்ளார் இசைஞானி இளையராஜா.
  
  அமிதாப் பச்சன் புரோகிரியா என்ற நோயால் தாக்கப்பட்ட 12 வயது சிறுவனாக நடித்துள்ள படம் பா.
  
  கின்னஸ் சாதனைப் புத்தகத்தில் இடம்பெற்றுள்ள பா, திரையிட்ட இடங்களிலெல்லாம் நல்ல பெயரையும், வசூலையும் பெற்று வருகிறது.
  
  சென்னையிலும் இந்தப் படம் நல்ல வரவேற்பு பெற்றது.
  
  இளையராஜா இசையமைத்த 884வது படம் இது. பாடல்களும் நல்ல வரவேற்பைப் பெற்றுள்ளன.
  
  இந்தப் படத்தை படத்தின் தமிழ் உரிமையையும் இளையராஜாவே பெற்றுள்ளார்.
  
  காதல், காமம், வன்முறை என எந்த வழக்கமான மசாலாவும் இல்லாத இந்த மாதிரி படங்கள்தான் நல்ல சினிமாவுக்கு விதையாய் அமையும் என்று பாராட்டிய ராஜா, இப்போது தமிழில் தரும் முயற்சியில் இறங்கியுள்ளார்.
  
  கலைஞானி கமல்ஹாஸனிடம் இதுகுறித்து இளையராஜா பேசியிருப்பதாகக் கூறப்படுகிறது. இந்தப் படத்தை இந்தியில் இயக்கிய பால்கி அல்லது படத்துக்கு ஒளிப்பதிவு செய்த பிசி ஸ்ரீராம் இருவரில் ஒருவரை இயக்க வைக்கவும் திட்டமிட்டுள்ளாராம்.
  
  இந்தப் படத்தை தமிழில் எடுப்பது குறித்து முதலிலிருந்தே ரஜினியும் ஆர்வம் காட்டி வருகிறார். எனவே அவரிடமும் பேச இளைய ராஜா திட்டமிட்டுள்ளதாகக் கூறப்படுகிறது.
  
  இந்தியில் எடுக்கப்பட்ட பா பட்ஜெட் 15 கோடிதான் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

  பின்னர் புத்தரின் சரித்திரத்தை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டு மாபெரும் படம் ஒன்றை உருவாக்குகிறார்கள் என்றும் இதில் கமல் நாயகன், மிஷ்கின் இயக்குநர் என்றும் கமல் அலுவலகமே தகவல் கூறியிருந்தது நினைவிருக்கலாம். கமல் மற்றும் மிஷ்கின் இருவருமே இந்த விஷயத்தை மேடைகளில் கூறி வந்தனர்.
  
  கமல்ஹாஸனின் அடுத்த படமே மிஷ்கின் இயக்குவதுதான் என்று உறுதியாக சொல்லப்பட்டு வந்த நிலையில், திடீரென உள்ளே புகுந்தார் ரவிக்குமார். உதயநிதி ஸ்டாலின் தயாரிப்பில் பெரும் பொருட் செலவில் புதிய படம் உருவாகிறது என்றும், இதில் கமல் ஹீரோ, த்ரிஷா அல்லது நயன்தாரா ஹீரோயின் என்றும் திடீர் அறிவிப்பு வெளியானது. உடனே, இதற்கடுத்த படத்தை மிஷ்கின் இயக்குவார் என்று கமல் தரப்பில் கூறப்பட்டது. கூடவே, ரூம் போட்டு கமலுக்காக மிஷ்கின் ஸ்கிரிப்ட் ரெடி செய்து கொண்டிருப்பதாகவும் கூறப்பட்டது.
  
  அடுத்து வந்த செய்தி, கமல் சொந்தமாக படம் தயாரிக்கிறார் என்றும், இதைக் கவுதமி இயக்க, பாலச்சந்தர் நடிக்கிறார் என்றும் வெளியானது. கமல் கவுரவ காமெடி வேடத்தில் நடிப்பார் என்றும் கூறப்பட இந்த முறை கொஞ்சம் சந்தேகம் வந்துவிட்டது மிஷ்கினுக்கு.
  
  ஆனால் இந்த முறையும், கண்டிப்பாக கமலை வைத்து படம் இயக்குவார் மிஷ்கின் என்று சொல்லப்பட, தற்காலிக சமாதானம் அடைந்தார் மிஷ்கின். ஆனால் நேற்று வந்த தகவல்தான் அவரை ஒட்டுமொத்தமாக ஆடிப்போக வைத்துவிட்டதாம்.
  
  உதயநிதி படத்துக்குப் பிறகு கவுதம் மேனனுக்கு கமல் கால்ஷீட் கொடுத்துவிட்டார் என்றும், தயாரிப்பாளராக பெரிய புளியங்கொம்பு மாட்டிவிட்டதால், பெரும் தொகை சம்பளமாகப் பேசப்பட்டுவிட்டதாகவும் சொல்லப்பட செம டென்ஷனாகிவிட்டாராம் மிஷ்கின்.
  
  கமல் தரப்பிலோ ரொம்ப கூலாக, வருடத்தின் கடைசி நாளான இன்று மிஷ்கினுக்கு பைனல் செட்டில்மெண்ட் செய்து விட்டதாகச் சொல்கிறார்கள். எக்கச்சக்கமாய் பேசும் மிஷ்கின் தரப்போ எதுவும் சொல்வதற்கில்லை என்று உதட்டை இறுகக் கடித்தபடி அமைதி காக்கிறது.
  
  விஷயம் சீக்கிரமே வெடிக்கும் என்கிறது கோடம்பாக்கம்.. பார்ப்போம்

  If the above news is true then Myskin has every reason to get disappointed. What is so special about Myskin that KH had to cling on to him in the first place? IMO, KH should have freed him up pretty early if his script is not working out. Anyways, let's wait until the real news gets out. Looks like too many speculations going around on his upcoming movies.

  மறுபடியும் மர்மயோகி
  கைமாற்றிவிட்ட கமல்!
  
  மருதநாயகம், மர்மயோகி என்று மெகா பட்ஜெட்டில் இறங்கும் போதெல்லாம் ஜகா வாங்க வைக்கிறது விதி. இன்னமும் மருதநாயகத்தை மறக்கவே இல்லை கமல். அப்படத்திற்காக எடுக்கப்பட்ட காட்சிகளை மர்மயோகியில் பயன்படுத்துவார் என்று காத்து கிடந்தார்கள் ரசிகர்கள். ஆனால், அந்த மகா கலைஞனின் கனவில் அங்கங்கே பொத்தல்கள்! எல்லாவற்றையும் சரி செய்து அவரது கனவை மீட்டெடுக்க கை கொடுத்திருக்கிறதாம் சன் பிக்சர்ஸ்.
  
  
  
  அப்படியா?
  
  ஆமாம் என்கிறார்கள் விபரமறிந்தவர்கள். மர்மயோகியை பொறுத்தவரை கால் கிணறு தாண்டியிருக்கிறார் கமல். லொக்கேஷனிலிருந்து, லோடு பாய் வரை ரெடி. கிளாப் கட்டையை தூக்கிக் கொண்டு கிளம்ப வேண்டியதுதான் பாக்கி. இந்த நேரத்தில் விழுந்த முட்டுக்கட்டையை வலுவான கரம் ஒன்று அகற்ற முன்வந்தால் பயணத்தில் வேகம் பிடிக்கும் என்று காத்திருந்தார். இவர் நினைத்த மாதிரியே எந்திரன் முடிந்ததும் அதே அளவு பட்ஜெட்டில் இந்த படத்தை தயாரிக்க முன் வந்திருக்கிறதாம் சன்.
  
  இடையில் உதயநிதி தயாரிப்பில் ஒரு படமும், துரை.தயாநிதி தயாரிப்பில் ஒரு படமும் நடிக்கப் போகிறார் கமல் என்பது நம்பகமான தகவல்!

  'எக்ஸ்க்ளூசிவ்': கமலின் அடுத்த படம் யாவரும் கேளிர்
  கமல்ஹாசன் - கேஎஸ் ரவிக்குமார் இணையும் புதிய படத்துக்கு யாவரும் கேளிர் என்ற தலைப்பு சூட்டப்பட்டுள்ளது.
  
  ரெட்ஜெயன்ட் மூவீஸ் சார்பில் உதயநிதி ஸ்டாலின் தயாரிக்கும் படம் இது.
  
  கமல் நாயகனாக நடிக்க அவருக்கு ஜோடியாக த்ரிஷா நடிப்பார் என்று கூறப்படுகிறது. ஆனாலும் நாயகி யார் என்பதில் இன்னும் உறுதியான தகவல் வெளியாகவில்லை.
  
  மிகப் பெரிய பட்ஜெட்டில் தயாராகும் இந்தப் படத்தில் நடிக்க கமலுக்கு சம்பளமாக ரூ 12 கோடி வரை பேசப்பட்டிருப்பதாக ரெட்ஜெயன்ட் வட்டாராம் கூறுகிறது.
  
  இந்தப் படத்துடன் தொடர்புடைய இன்னொரு முக்கிய செய்தி...
  
  ரெட்ஜெயன்ட் இன்னொரு பெரிய பட்ஜெட் படத்தையும் தயாரிக்கிறது. தயாரிப்பாளர் உதயநிதிதான் இதன் நாயகன்.
  
  படத்தை இயக்கப் போகிறவர்.. மிஷ்கின். கமல் [^]ஹாசனின் அடுத்த படத்தை மிஷ்கின் இயக்குவார் எனக் கூறப்பட்டு வந்த நிலையில் அதில் சிக்கல் ஏற்பட்டது.
  
  இதையடுத்து மிஷ்கினுக்கு உதயநிதியின் படத்தை கமல்ஹாசனே பெற்றுத் தந்து 'தங்கக் கைக்குலுக்கலை' மேற்கொண்டுள்ளார்.
  
  கமல்ஹாசனின் அடுத்த படத்தின் பெயர் இன்னும் வெளிப்படுத்தப்படாமல் உள்ளது. அதை தட்ஸ் தமிழ்தான் தனது வாசகர்களுக்கு முதல் முறையாக வெளியிடுகிறது என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

  கமலின் அடுத்த பட தலைப்பு... யாவரும் கேளிர்!
  கேஎஸ் ரவிக்குமார் இயக்கத்தில் கமல் நடிக்கும் அடுத்த படத்துக்கு தலைப்பு.. யாவரும் கேளிர். த்ரிஷாதான் நாயகி என்கிறார்கள். ஆனால் கடைசி நேரத்தில் ஹீரோயின் மாறக்கூடும் என்றும் கூறப்படுகிறது.
  
  உதயநிதி ஸ்டாலின் தயாரிக்கும் இந்தப் படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு விரைவில் அறிவிக்கப்பட உள்ளது.
  
  இந்தப் படத்துக்காக கமலுக்கு ரூ 25 கோடி தரப்பட்டதாக சிலர் இஷ்டத்துக்கும் அடித்துவிட்டிருந்தார்கள்.
  
  விசாரித்ததில் கமலுக்கு 13 கோடி வரை சம்பளம் தர உதயநிதி ஒப்புக் கொண்டுள்ளதாகத் தெரிகிறது. இதுவும் கூட இன்னும் முடிவாகவில்லை.
  
  இந்தப் படத்தை 90 நாள்களில் முடித்துவிட்டு, தனது கனவுப் படைப்பான மர்மயோகியை கையிலெடுக்கிறாராம் கமல். இதை இயக்குபவர் கவுதம் மேனன்.

  As of now,KH himself has told that his next is with KSR,right?So it's better to wait till there is a formal announcement regarding this than wondering if the one after this will be with Mysskin or Gautham Menon or Marma Yogi.Is he launching a film with Gauthami as director,did he get Mysskin an opportunity to direct udayanidhi and give him a golden handshake etc etc etc

  இலக்கியமும் சினிமாவும் இருகரைகள். இரண்டுக்கும் பாலம் கட்டும் முயற்சியில் தொடர்ந்து ஈடுபட்டு வருகிறேன். ஆனால் இரு பிரிவினரும் இணைய தயக்கம் காட்டி வருகிறார்கள். திரைப்படத் துறையினர் சினிமாவே இலக்கியம் என்கின்றனர். இலக்கியவாதிகள் அதை ஏற்க மறுக்கின்றனர்.
  
  இந்த இரண்டையும் ஒன்றிணைக்க முடியாது. ஆனால் ஒரு பாலம் கட்டலாம்.
  
  எனக்கு தெரிந்தது எல்லாம் சினிமாதான். எனது படங்கள் வித்தியாசப்படுவதற்கு இலக்கிய எழுத்துக்களே காரணம். அவை என் எழுத்தல்ல. மற்றவர்கள் எழுதியதுதான்.
  
  சினிமா பார்ப்பவர்கள், புத்தகம் வாசிப்பவர்களாக இருக்க வேண்டும். அப்போது தான் சினிமா சரி இல்லை என்று கருத்து கூறும் அளவுக்கு தெளிவு பெற முடியும். திரைப்படத் துறையினரும் இலக்கியவாதிகளும் வேறு வேறு அரிசியில் அப்பியாசம் எழுதுகிறார்கள். மக்கள் பேசும் மொழியுடன் சேராதவரை சினிமா ஊமையாகவே இருக்கும்.
  
  சினிமா வியாபாரம் சார்ந்தது. அது அற்புதமானதாக இருந்தாலும் கூட அபாயகரமானதாகவும் உள்ளது. எனவே இலக்கியத்தையும் சினிமாவையும் இணைப்பது சுலபமான காரியம் அல்ல. இருதுறையினரும் சேர்ந்து செயல்பட வேண்டும் என்பதே என் விருப்பம். நான் நடித்த அன்பே சிவம் புதிய முயற்சி. வியாபார ரீதியாக அது விமர்சிக்கப்பட்டு இருக்கலாம். ஆனாலும் காலம் தாழ்ந்து பலனை தந்துள்ளது.
  
  விலைவாசி உயர்வால் மருதநாயகம் படத்தின் பட்ஜெட் அதிகரித்துள்ளது. ஆனாலும் விரைவில் இதன் படப்பிடிப்பு துவங்கும். அதற்கான வேலைகள் நடந்து வருகின்றன" என்றார்.
  
  மருதநாயகம் படம் ஏற்கெனவே தொடங்கி சில தினங்கள் படப்பிடிப்பு நடந்ததோடு நிறுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளது. தற்போது சன் பிக்ஸர்ஸ் துணையுடன் இந்தப் படத்தை கமல் எடுப்பார் எனக் கூறப்படுகிறது.

  Kamal to host Tamil 'KBC' for Vijay TV?
  
  
  
  Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan earned millions through the reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC)', which was aired on Star Plus for close to four years and enjoyed an unprecedented number of viewership across the country and outside. The programme bailed out a bankrupt Amitabh from a great embarrassment and in fact turned him into a millionaire. The Oscar-winning 'Slumdog Millionnaire' was also inspired by Big B's KBC show.
  
  If reports are to be believed, superstar Kamal Haasan may soon start hosting such programme in Tamil for Vijay TV. This makes us wonder how did Kamal agree to hosting such a programme for Vijay TV in the first instance. Looking back, it becomes apparent that it was Vijay TV which took pains to hold a mammoth programme to commemorate the culmination of Kamal's '50 golden years' in films. The show, which was beamed on TV, registered a record viewership.
  
  Superstars from Mollywood, Tollywood, Kannada film industry and from the northern side of the Vindhyas came together to lavish praise on Kamal Haasan's performances and contribution to Indian cinema thus far. Kamal, who was mightily impressed by the show, reportedly wanted to do something back for the channel which took great pains in hosting the programme.
  
  Kamal got in touch with Vijay TV which gave him a list of probable programmes that were on air on the channel. It was reportedly Kamal's choice to choose the programme, which could be described as the Tamil version of 'KBC'. Many leading establishments are in talks with the channel to be the leading sponsor of the programme.
  
  Once everything is finalized, a grand announcement to this effect would be made!

  Somebody once remarked about Kamal that where the man ends and the actor begins, is difficult to say, if not impossible. How lithely he's slipped in and out of the numerous characters he's played is as much a study of style as it is of personality. He's surprised us all along, across a career spanning half a century with a new look each time. Gaudily printed shirts and scarves seemed to look just as stylish on him as did that signature white kurta pyjama that he danced Bharatanatyam in.
  
  For that matter, the heavy moustache or the clean shaven look and then the ten dramatically different looks in Dasavataram. At the recent mega event in Chennai that celebrated his completion of 50 years in cinema, he sported his signature black formals, with an easy style that's been and continues to be age defying. Here's raising a toast to the only complete star of Indian cinema, whose style might not be mass but whose acclaim is truly global.

  Kamal’s next is ‘Yavarum Kelir’
  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, January 05, 2010]
  
  
  Kamal's forthcoming film, directed by K S Ravikumar, has been tentatively titled 'Yavarum Kelir'. The movie will be produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin for Red Giant Movies. And as predicted, Shruthi Haasan will be composing music for ‘Yavarum Kelir’ too.
  
  The inspiration for the title is the famous line 'Yaadhum Oore, Yavarum Kelir' by Tamil poet Kaniyan Poongundranar, which means 'The whole world is my place; the whole humanity is my fraternity'.
  
  According to sources, the movie is going to be a quickie, which will hit the screens by mid 2010. On Udhayanidhi producing the film, they say, "It was the young producer's dream to make a movie with Kamal in the lead. It is coming true now."

  Kamal - The fountain head!
  
  By Behindwoods Visitor Karthik
  
  The views expressed in this column are that of the visitor. Behindwoods.com doesn't hold responsible for its content.
  
  There are occasions in life where you would have come across people who would always love to swim against the tide. These people challenge conventional wisdom and throw caution to the wind because of their strong conviction. Any yardstick of success that we associate with others would not be applicable to them. If you had read the novel “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand, the character Howard Roark symbolizes this rare genre in mankind. He is a young architect who never compromises his artistic and personal vision and willingly undergoes several tribulations in life before tasting the fruits of success. And once he experiences success, it hardly has any difference on him as his goal in life (to preserve the purity of art) is different from the ones others desire and that goal would never be compromised. There are visionaries in various fields who have been the Howard Roaks in their sphere of influence. This article would be dealing with one such person in the Indian entertainment industry – Kamal Haasan. This article would not be focusing on his film making skills. Instead, it would dwell on the attributes that make him admirable.
  
  The biggest burden of being Kamal Haasan is that every action performed or every word uttered (both reel and real) by him would be under intense scrutiny. You might ask, so what? Every celebrity experiences these. To understand the enormity of this, consider the other leading heroes in Tamil or even Indian film industry. The biggest advantage they have when people watch them on screen is the expectation that the audience have from their movies. If these heroes float in the air defying gravity or bash 20 thugs at a time or even launch a rocket propellant mid-air,
  
  
  
  many film viewing public would consider it acceptable. In a similar vein, in these movies, you need not have characters that relate to the theme of the movie. Hence, you have the freedom to fit in as many comedians you would like or have as many glamorous heroines. The common response that you get from the audience (who love these movies) or the film makers when you question them on these is “This is a commercial movie”, “Our hero is an action hero”, “These are aspects expected/ must be present in our hero’s movie”, “These movies are meant only to entertain”, “We go to a movie only to forget our worries”. This article is meant to only compare the differing expectations from the audience and is not meant to take a dig at commercial cinema. Pure entertainers are also required as an essential alternative and would satiate the preferences of various audiences.
  
  Compare this when you go and watch a Kamal Haasan film – more than the appreciation of the various nuances in film making exhibited in the movie, there would be intense scrutiny of every aspect in the movie. Hence, there would be questions like “Why did Kamal place the bag in the railway station when it had no bombs at all (UPO)”, “Why did the Commissioner and the Chief Secretary converse in English in many scenes (UPO)”, “Why were two or three characters not given more space? (Dasavatharam)”, “Why did Kamal show that Tsunami rescued the people in the mosque while it killed Boovaraagan (a Christian) - Dasavatharam”, “Why did Kamal show the accountant in Devar Magan (Madan Bob) as belonging to a particular caste” (In fact the director of this flick was Bharathan and not Kamal). There might be perfect justification as to why these scenes were enacted this way. But, this goes to show the intense scrutiny that the audience reserve for every action of Kamal – even for his commercial entertainers.
  
  When people go and watch a Kamal movie, these are the most common expectations
  
  1. Every word spoken and every action on screen should be perfect
  2. The movie should be vastly different from any other Indian movie previously seen
  3. No scope for any cinematic liberties associated with other heroes
  
  In fact, these expectations have only enhanced Kamal’s film making abilities. Rather than settling for only commercial potboilers that guarantee success, Kamal has chosen a path less travelled (or rather not travelled) by many. A strong belief in his vision of taking Tamil cinema forward has given him the conviction to deliver a movie without any dialogues (Pushpak/ Pesum Padam), a movie without any songs and having a shorter running duration (Kuruthipunal), a movie which discusses in depth on the suffering during partition (Hey Ram), a movie where he doesn’t have a name or identity and which has no heroines or songs and deals with terrorism without showing any violence on screen (Unnaipol Oruvan, credits to Neeraj Pandey-the creator), a movie which has capital punishment as theme (Virumaandi), a movie which stressed on love for human beings and has a good take on Communism (Anbe Sivam) and many more.
  
  A creator delivering one or two movies like this is possible. But, giving them over a sustained period of four decades (if I have to discount the roles played by him as a child) is a tremendous achievement. When Hey Ram wasn’t that successful at the box office, this man had the courage to deliver an Anbe Sivam. When movies as great as these aren’t that successful, he takes the blame on himself (and not blame the film watching public) and strives to deliver an even better movie.
  
  The other aspect that makes him a real world Howard Roark is the impact success has on him. Everyone who is successful take their time to savor their triumph. But not Kamal! Just days after the stupendous success of Dasavatharam (an all time Tamil cinema highest grosser and one of the highest in Indian cinema), he was working on the script for Marmayogi. Even when it seemed Marmayogi would take some time, he did not relax and delivered a classic Unnaipol Oruvan. Delivering box office success over a long period is still possible but doing it by taking the road less travelled makes the success even more enjoyable. It is this hunger for success and the drive for perfection that makes him special. The other great aspect is his views and contributions on a variety of societal issues like organ donation and converting his fan clubs as welfare associations. His constancy of purpose and unwavering thoughts is revealed in him confining himself to the field that he is good at –Film Making.
  
  The seeds sown by him are reaping rich dividends as we find a bunch of enthusiastic creative directors making a mark in the Tamil film industry like Ameer, Bala, Mysskin, Selvaraghavan and Sasi Kumar. Just take a sample of the list of successful Tamil movies last year – Ayan, Naadodigal, Aadhavan, Padikadhavan, Peranmai, Unnaipol Oruvan, Yaavarum Nalam, Pasanga, Achchamundu Achchamundu, Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, Eeram, Pattalam, Renigunta and Kanden Kadhalai. The heartening aspect in this list is that most movies in this list had an unconventional theme or screenplay and were even made by non-established film makers. Way to go!
  
  The burden of being Kamal is enormous–but nevertheless, it has been enjoyable not only for him but also for Indian Cinema.

  They opposed the dogma/religion of that time. They challenged views of the time and hence were considered blasphemers (in other words 'atheists').

  பழைய ஏற்பாட்டில் வரும் ஆபிரகாம் ,மோசஸ் ,எலியா போன்றவர்கள் இறைவாக்கினர்கள் (Prophets or Messengers) என்பது யூத நம்பிக்கை .இயேசுவை அவர்கள் அந்த வரிசையில் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளவில்லை.

  The "GOD" referred to in Islam as well as Christianity and Jewism is the same GOD. Even Prophet Mohemmad is a messenger of the same GOD. In Islam, he is considered the last ever and most important prophet of GOD.

  True. These are, by practice, followed by few sects. There are many versions of it. It's confusing because some Buddhists think of it as a philosophy while others abide by, like a religion. The latter are the ones who contradict it.
  
  From what I've read so far, the central meaning of Buddhism have been free thinking to seek the truth, and discovery of the self, as against the dogma of external factors, including other "religions". Hence why, it's bizarre to be called/seen as a "religion" on its own, it would be a paradox of sorts.

  1. விபச்சாரியை கல்லால் அடித்து கொல்லுவது யூத மரபு .ஆனால் இயேசு விபச்சாரியை மன்னித்து அவளை கல்லால் அடிக்க வந்தவர்களை ‘உங்களில் பாவம் செய்யாதவன் முதலில் இவள் மேல் கல்லெறியட்டும் ‘ என திருப்பி அனுப்பினார்.
  
  2. ஓய்வு நாளில் எந்த வேலையும் செய்ய கூடாது என்பது யூத சட்டம் .ஆனால் இயேசு ஓய்வு நாளில் நோயாளிகளை குணப்படுத்தினார் ..எப்படி செய்யலாம் என கேள்வி கேட்டவர்களை ‘ ஓய்வு நாளில் உங்கள் ஆடு கிணற்றில் விழுந்து விட்டால் ஓய்வு நாள் என்பதற்காக அதை காப்பாற்றாது விடுவீர்களா?’ என எதிர் கேள்வி எழுப்பினார்.
  
  3. எருசலேம் தேவாலயத்தில் பணம் மாற்றுவோரையும் , வியாபாரம் செய்வோரையும் ‘என் தந்தையின் ஆலயத்தை கள்வர் குகையாக்காதீர்கள் ‘ என விரட்டினார்.
  
  4. கண்ணுக்கு கண் ,பல்லுக்கு பல் என்பது யூத சட்டம் ..இயேசு ‘ ஒருவன் உன்னை வலக்கன்னத்தில் அறைந்தால் அவனுக்கு இடக்கன்னத்தையும் காட்டு ‘ என்றார்.
  
  இப்படி பல...

  It was more in the context of conversation.. The conversation between Maddy and Kamal had to be interesting throughout the movie and Kamal has to bring in characters live or dead from all corners. he would have used Gandhi as a messenger as well, but this movie is about Anbae Sivam and thats probably the reason he mentioned about Jesus in context with the religion-based talks.
  
  so PR sonnadhu madhiri, this was a counterargument from Kamal to Maddy which made Maddy to reply "edhaiyum straight-aa solla maateengala"

  Well, this narrative has repeated itself throughout history that it shouldn't baffle us anymore. One of my recent favourite examples is that of one Mr. Basavanna, a 12th century philosopher who spent a good deal of his life fighting the caste system. I came to know of him because of a recent book that resulted in some controversy regarding its claim that Basavanna belonged to an untouchable caste. The Lingayats, who are a religious sect born out of Basavanna's reform movement, were offended by this suggestion.

  Not exactly !! All prophets (messengers of God) are considered equally important in Islam. Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammed (peace be upon them) are widely known as revelation of Books (the Abrahamic religions) occured through them. Infact, in the Quaran, Jesus's and the events related to Jesus are mentioned more than of Muhammed. The only female name mentioned in the Quaran is Mariyam (mother of Jesus). Jesus, whether a Messenger or God is a highly debatable topic. Jews till now do not consider Jesus as a prophet, where as Muslims do. Certain sects of Christianity like Seven Days Adventists, Jahova's witness etc do not conisder Jesus as God or Son of God but a Messenger of God. Kamal and Madhan seem to believe that he is a messenger rather than a God or son of God, hence that line in AS.

  He is drawing a parallel between religion and communism when seeing he was 'conveying a message' (when he first saw Kiran). Messengers perhaps aren't to be treated as trifles (Ars had rattled off postman, courier service etc.) as even Jesus can be called a messenger - as he had a message for us.

  That's one part I feel.. in AS many lines had more than one meaning. "Moses kooda messenger thAnE" appadinnu ezhuthi irukkalaam if the only intension was to convey what you have mentioned. Knowing Kamal's dialogues well and the never ending debate of whether Jesus is a Messenger or God (or Son of God) I believe he included that line with his usual 'silEdai'.

There was no intention-nu eppidi nichayam-A theriyumnu kEtta en kitta badhil illai. aanaa stamb paper-la kai ezhuthu pOdura aLavu nichayamA thONudhu. Idhukku pEsAma intention 'doesn't motor' -nu sollittu nimmadhiyA irukkalaam-nA mudiyalaiyE.

  
  
  
  
  Ars: 'appO enna paNNittu iruntheenga'
  
  Sivam : sEthi sollittu irunthEn..
  
  The 'vambu' line starts from that point onwards, which ended with the Messenger thing. The 'sEthi solRathu' could have been made more straight forward if the 'intention' was straight I believe.

  a) Jesus Christ is considered a "messenger of the God" rather than God himself, per Christian beliefs(I think). Joe can clarify. The "GOD" referred to in Islam as well as Christianity and Jewism is the same GOD. Even Prophet Mohemmad is a messenger of the same GOD. In Islam, he is considered the last ever and most important prophet of GOD. Bala has explained (b) but more views on that will be enlightening

  
  
  IMHO, the core of what Kamal is trying to convey in 'Anbe sivam' is a bit complicated and is strictly metaphorical/multilayered - depending on one's interpretation - the real issue i think is what the character says abt finding 'God' in each and everyone one comes across - which has strong underpinnings to the kind of consciousness rising, which Kamal perhaps suspects someone like Jesus or a Buddha might have attempted during their times! so from this perspective, what Kamal implies about what Jesus/ Buddha might have said is trivial as compared to the 'consciousness-rising' thingy
  
  as a sidenote, from my interactions with colleagues, friends and others about religion (in the US) - this is what I have observed :
  
  1. moderate Christians - they dont much bother abt religion per se and are quite rational - they dont wear what they believe on their sleeves!
  
  2. not-so-moderate (am trying not to use the word 'extreme') christians, who are less rational and often take the words literally from the scriptures and make it difficult to discuss issues - especially in a situation which i think is unique to america, political ideologies and religious beliefs go hand-in-hand! as an example for puritanical/abstract belief, i had an interesting/exhasparating conversation with a co-passenger on a flight 10 days ago - the guy is raised in texas (! - ), thought he was quite rational at the beginning, but when it came to politics and the middle-east, his tone completely changed to the 'you know god's promised land is in turmoil, n we have an obligation to protect it' mode - even if that cud have been accepted as his opinion - but when he began to dismiss my field (evolutionary biology) as nonsense (coz there was no way earth might have existed more than 10000 years ago! according to his 'beliefs'), our conversation went downhill! surprisingly, more than 40% of the american public wud most probably think along such lines - there are some famous radioshow hosts like Rush Limbaugh et al, who can be very hilarious - but that depends on which side of the fence you are in! actually quite a lot find Limbaugh's hilarious presentations actually 'intellectual' and 'thought-provoking'!
  
  3. atheists - they are from either orthodox jewish or christian families and gotten fed up with dogma at home - unfortunately majority in america refer to atheists as 'liberals' (as in the word 'liberal' is a dirty thingy) - am sure someone like Kamal wud be called a 'liberal', in this sense, had he been in america!
  
  4. muslims - rarely do i find an atheist who has come from an islamic background - perhaps thats my experience
  
  these are the present trends that i have observed in mainstream america - what Joe I think is explaining is the ideal definition for what christians, jews and muslims in general are thought to believe - also isnt it true that even amongst christians, most protestant christians do NOT accept/recognise Mother Mary in the same 'sacred' sense as they accept Christ ? at least a lot of the denominational Christians i have come across here are totally dismissive of the Catholic church - but again, that has roots in political history with the breaking away from the Anglican customs and also the European tradition to create a religious institution that is uniquely 'amercian' that has more political-rhetorical overtones than strictly spiritual/metaphysical - am i correct Joe ?
  
  anyway that was a digression to show how religious affiliations fashion ones acceptance of things, political, regional, cultural and scientific nature!

  Kamal Haasan Denies ‘Yaavarum Kelir’
  The latest buzzes rounding upon air about Kamal Haasan’s upcoming project is about the film’s title. It was reportedly mentioned that Padmashree had opted for the title ‘Yaavarum Kelir’ produced by Udayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant Movies.
  
  The film brings back the hit combo Kamal-K.S.Ravikumar for the fourth time and the duo is into the selection process of crew. Shruthi Haasan has been already confirmed about scoring music for this project.
  
  Shruthi Haasan perceives this to be a gainsaying film as she’ll have to experiment with a different genre.
  
  When it comes about the film’s title, closer sources have mentioned that Kamal Haasan and K.S. Ravikumar haven’t zeroed down on exact one. Probably, the official confirmations about the film’s title and crewmembers will be announced through a press meet.

  I have met some Adventists in Myanmar including some people who worked with me and I have written based on what they have mentioned to me. Their practices are quite contrary to RCs (or the Trinitians). Their practices/beliefs include ; Saturday Sabbath, Jesus as Messenger, totally refrainign from eating pork (even certain types of fish and prawns and crabs), no idol worshipping and not considering Mary sacred. Need to cross check with them again.
  
  Regarding, Jehova's witness, I have read somewhere that only the Trinitians consider Jesus as God and not the other sects. Since Jehova's dont fall into Trinitian catagory I believed it to be so. Again Jehovas do not indulge in idol worshipping.
  
  Having said that - definition and belief about God in Christianity is quite a complicated thing which is not clear even in the Bible as far as I have learnt.

  IMHO Buddha never denied god. He was against all the blind following in the name of God. Later on people turned it and said he denied God.
  
  

• From: P_R on Sun Jan 10 0:01:29 2010.

  AFAIK Buddha was 'silent' about the mention of God. For all practical purposes, Buddhism can't be called an atheistic relgion.
  
  There is a belief in Karma, rebirth and salvation strongly entrenched in both Buddhism and Jainism. In Jainism the concept of 'God' is the keeper of Dharma. (அருகதேவன்).
  
  In comparison to the prevalent religion (at the time of the origin of Buddhism and Jainism) they can of course be called atheistic, in the sense that they did not supply God with a human form, or as someone who would physically manifest on earth or would pass revelations to people on earth.

  Gautham Menon gets going!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Friday, 15 January , 2010, 11:03
  
  
  Gautham Vadudev Menon is going to have a busy 2010. After the successful audio launch of his Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya, Gautham is going underground to write the script of his next film.
  
  Gautham has confirmed that he is going to do Ajith’s golden jubilee film for producer Dayanidhi Alagiri. He is working on an interesting commercial script for the film which will start rolling by mid April.
  
  As of now, the film is likely to release sometime in Nov/Dec this year. The music director and heroine will be fixed before the shoot.
  
  The big news is that Gautham has signed Kamal Hassan for his next film at a whopping price. Kamal and Gautham who had worked together in Vettayadu Villayadu, had fallen out over some trivial issues.
  
  As a goodwill gesture Kamal came to attend Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya, audio launch and said he is very eager to see Gautham’s Simbu- Trisha film after seeing the trailer and songs.
  
  Now they have patched up the new film will start rolling after Kamal finishes his Udayanidhi Stalin project with KS Ravikumar. And by that time GM would have completed his Ajith project. The Kamal film is to be made by Gautham under his home banner.

  Author: P. Deenadayalan
  
  அதிரடியான, பாக்ஸ் ஆபிஸ் ஹிட் படங்களையும் அமைதியான கலாபூர்வமான படங்களையும் ஒருங்கே ஒருவரால் அளிக்கமுடியும் என்பதை கமல்ஹாசன் அளவுக்கு ஆணித்தரமாக நிரூபித்த இன்னொரு நடிகர் இங்கே இல்லை.
  
  கோடம்பாக்கத்தின் விதிகளை மிகக் கறாராகக் கடைபிடித்த அதே கமலால் அந்த விதிகள் ஒவ்வொன்றையும் அடுத்தடுத்து உடைக்கவும் முடிந்தது. உடைபட்ட ஒவ்வொன்றும் சாதனை படைத்தது. தமிழ்த் திரையுலகில் கமல் மேற்கொண்ட பரீட்சார்த்த முயற்சிகளுக்குப் பின்னால், அவற்றின் வெற்றி, தோல்விகளுக்குப் பின்னால், புதிய விஷயங்களைக் கண்டுபிடிக்கத் துடிக்கும் ஒரு விஞ்ஞானியின் ஆர்வத்தைக் காணலாம்
  
  நடிப்பின் இலக்கணத்தை நிர்ணயித்தவர் சிவாஜி என்றால் அதை வெற்றிகரமாக நடைமுறைக்குப் பழக்கியவர் கமல். அதனால்தான், இந்த இருவரையும் பல சமயம் ஒரே நேர் வரிசையில் நிற்க வைத்து பெருமிதம் கொள்கிறது திரையுலகம்.
  
  கமலின் சாதனைகள் அவர் நடிப்பிலோ அவர் பெற்ற விருதுகளிலோ, பாராட்டுகளிலோ அடங்கியிருக்கவில்லை. தமிழ் திரையுலகை அதன் அடுத்த கட்டத்துக்கு எடுத்துச் செல்ல அவர் கொண்டிருக்கும் ஏக்கத்தில், அதற்காக எதையும் செய்ய தயாராக இருக்கும் அவர் நெஞ்சுறுதியில் அடங்கியிருக்கிறது.
  
  சிவாஜி, ஜெமினி, சின்னப்பா தேவர் வரிசையில் பா. தீனதயாளனின் அடுத்த விறுவிறுப்பான புத்தகம் இது.

  Unai Pol oruvan though a remade film was excellent, Kamala Hasar's nadipu, Mohan lal's nadippu were so natural, no paatu and koothu, no reel fights, but the only thing i did not like about the movie was too much English dialogues, why? why? why?
  
  This happens in most kamal's film, if he ommit this , it would be even greater!
  
  any way nevertheless the movie was great, awaiting more movies like this, I am so sick and tired of watching dancing and singing around the world, and reel fights, etc .. we need to change this stereo type!

  கமல் முழு நேர படைப்பாளியாகவே இருக்க வேண்டும் குழுவும் என்னையும் சேர்த்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள். Plum, P_R போல, எனக்கும் பல ஆண்டுகளாக அந்த எண்ணம் இருந்து வருகிறது.
  
  ஹேராம் படம் வெளிவந்த போது, ஒரு இதழில் யூகி சேது, "இந்தப் படத்தை கமல் ஒரு இயக்குனாராக மட்டுமே இருந்து, விக்ரம் ஒரு சாகேத் ராமாக நடித்திருந்தால் இன்னும் கவனிக்கப் பட்டிருக்கும்" எனச் சொல்லியிருந்தாக ஞாபகம்.
  
  படைப்பாளியாக மட்டுமே இல்லாமல், அவரது இதுவரை தொடர்ந்து வருகிற செயல் முறைத் திட்டங்களிலும் முழு அளவில் மாற்றம் வரவேண்டும் என ஆசைப்படுகிறேன்.
  
  அன்பே சிவம் படத்தைப் பார்த்த போது, ஏன் அந்த படைப்பை ஒரு தீபா மேத்தா, ஒரு அபர்ணா சென் போல ஆங்கிலத்தில் எடுத்து, இந்திய மக்கள் அனைவரும் பார்க்கும் அளவிற்கு, பிரமிக்கும் அளவிற்கு எடுத்திருக்க கூடாது என்ற ஆதங்கம் தான் உருவாகியது. இப்போதும், எப்போதும் என் பார்வையில், அன்பே சிவம் போன்ற படைப்புக்கள் எல்லா இந்தியனும் பார்க்கக் கூடியது.
  
  இதுபோல வருடத்திற்கு ஒரு படைப்பு, ஆங்கிலத்தில் கொடுக்க முனையலாம். உ.போ.ஒருவன் போல பாதி வார்த்தை தமிழிலும், பாதி வார்த்தை அமெரிக்க ஆங்கிலத்திலும் பேசாமல், முழுதாக ஆங்கிலத்திலேயே பேசிவிடலாம்.

  You say that, but if you take Mahanadhi, the film addressed the illegal activities in Calcutta, this is a similar thing, child labour.
  
  If an outsider come to mumbai and makes a film about the slum and get many oscar awards, then surely kamal or directors like Maniratnam/bala can come up with similar stuff

  IMO, from the tamil movies I have seen only Kamal and Mahendran proved me that they were not only highly talented but will never compromise for commercial aspects. Kamal is widely considered as the best actor in the country and I also agree that he is better creator than actor. This only proves his massive talent and nothing else. I definitely miss Kamal as a creator.

  When you say creator, most of the creation is done by the director, else we wouldn't have a director, every actor will have their say , ideas, opinions, views, ..etc not just kamal, but the final say is the director's say
  
  but the actor has the right to refuse and accept such role, so far kamal has picked up good role, well almost apart from crazy mohan draggginnngggggggg comdey films

  The key here is Raajkamal should be at a stage where they can independently produce the 'real' ventures of his. Adhu dhaan prachanai nu thonudhu - the size of his ventures (Marmayogi, Mysskin), the nature of the ventures in terms of viability and the terms he lays. Or he should take up a smaller script of his soon. Adhukku KSR padamum, Kavudham padamum (if its going to take off as reported) should be successful.

  For sun pictures 100-150 crores is jujubi. But they want to make everything for profitable and they are not convinced about the profitability of these ventures. If kamal makes his movie for international audiences then it is totally different story.

  One of the clauses I had put in my comment that triggered this discussion was "thiuvananthapuam pakkamA odhungi, m and m-ai vechu small movies edukkalam"-nu. The whole reason for suggesting that was the commercialo quagmire of tamil, whereby even after dasavatharam, ksr movie has to succeed for him to get finance for marudhan. Now, this is a never ending cycle. If ksr movie succeeds, producers here will want more of that type.
  Ofcourse m and m are old, too but it is easier to make small movies in malayalam. And you have producers like gokulam gopalan, who splashed 17 crore (allegedly) on pazhassi raja when the max returns you can get there is around 10 cr, which is apparently what pazhassi grossed.

  very very very wrong assumption.. ithellaam yaaru sollraangannu therila.. kamal wont do any movie which he knws will make a loss for him.. if marudhan will make a loss, he wont do it.. its simple.. and he is not trying to improve his market by doing commercial movies.. he is just trying to milk some money in the mean time his projects like marmayogi gets viable..

  Kamal never said no to bollywood. Bollywood never appreciated Kamal's talent and that is why he is staying away from Bollywood. South Indian heroes were never accepted in bollywood.

  Bala,
  In recent years, Kamal has been playing safe by doing films with other productions in which he's just an actor or it's a big extravaganza like 'dasAvathAram.' I was saying that he's probably prolonging this phase so as to make as much hay as possible before the sun sets i.e. his box office clout wanes.

  Hope this is understandable. To a ponted question about he pairing with Mammootty, Kamal had said that he is working on the script. Though he had not specifically talked about KSR's project, his words imply so.

  Kamal has IITians eating out of his hands
  
  CHENNAI: Actor Kamal Haasan’s star power bewitched IITians on Friday. Kamal’s lecture, scheduled to be held at 9 am saw people lining up in queues as early as 6.30 am.
  
  
  However, not even one-third of them managed an entry.
  
  “There were about 2,000 people standing in the queue since 6.30 am and only about 200 of them managed to go inside. The space is so limited,” said a disappointed student from Anna University.
  
  A section of the media was also denied entry.
  
  However, those who managed to gain an entry had a blissfully crisp but thoughtprovoking and entertaining session with the actor.
  
  Speaking on the change in work culture, Kamal asked his young fans to follow what they believed and enjoyed doing.
  
  “What I do everyday is not work, but what I enjoy,” he said, answering a question from the audience.
  
  “His talk was precise to the point without any loose ends. That is what makes him a legend,” said Vasanth, a student from SRM college.
  
  Film directors Gautham Menon and Anjali Menon were among other stars spotted at Saarang 2010.
  
  Student performers set the stage blazing at the other end of the campus. Tarang, a musical treat by amateur but highly skilled performers, put the audience in a festive mood.
  
  There was also enough for people who wanted to try their hand in competitions ranging from soap carving to business quizzes.

  Karthi,
  
  Here it is for you. [Sentence by sentence]
  
  Best actor award won by Mohanlal and it was given by director Sethumadhavan [Remember Nammavar and host of Malayalam films acted by Kamal].
  
  The last item of the evening was the award presentation given to Mammootty and the honours was done by Kamal.
  
  Jagadeesh -the comedy/character artiste who compered the show asked Kamal [having aleady acted along with Lal], "When are you going to act with our Mammookka?"
  
  Kamal replied " I am working on a script. I thought of announcing it after completing the same. My next project would be with Mammookka".
  
  Mammootty took the mike from Kamal and said " When I started my career, Kamal was already an established Super Star and in fact I started imitating Kamal's voice in mimicry stage shows and grew up".
  
  Ranjani the other compere [Asianet Idea Super Singer host] asked Mammootty " Can you mimic Kaml here in this stage?"
  
  Mammootty " That was long ago. Now there are so many good mimicry artists who can do a better job than me. It won't work out"
  
  Regards

  January 22, 8.45 a.m
  A serpentine queue of students waited outside the IC&SR auditorium for the inaugural lectures by Kamal Haasan and Gautham Menon. Kamal Haasan expressed his admiration for IITians. who made all that hard work seem so easy. He answered questions emailed to him with his classic quips. Sample this: What advice will you give us? “Looking at the movies we make, do you think we are in a position to advice you?”
  
  When do you consider a film to be a success? “When they allow me to make it.”
  
  Of all your roles over the years, which is the closest to your heart? “Kamal Haasan”
  
  Gautham spoke about his approach to films and the need of a director to inspire his cast and crew to get the best out of them. Little did he know when someone asked him about how he convinced Suriya to do “Vaaranam Aayiram” that the film would win a National Award for Best Tamil Film.

  [tscii]Udhayanidhi Stalin meets Suriya
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, January 28, 2010]
  
  
  The after effects of recent IT raids on Suriya, K S Ravikumar and Vadivelu assets which rattled the Tamil film industry is not ending. News were floating that the man behind the raids is Udhayanidhi Stalin because the stars were pressurising the producer to settle their dues for ‘Aadhavan’ which is a Udhayanidhi production. As all the people who endured were associated with ‘Aadhavan’ rumours grew many folds.
  
  To clear the air Udhayanidhi Stalin met Suriya personally at his home and explained his side of the story. Udhayanidhi categorically said that the rumours in the media are not true to an iota and he had no reason what so ever to do it because the same ‘Aadhavan’ team will be working for his next project as well.
  
  Now the water gets even murkier.

  Don't be surprised if KH walks out of this project and this production house goes to court that they paid so many crores as advance and he should either give it back or complete their project.
  
  Namma aalum court-kku povaru,he will be photographed in front of the court building,he will give out a press release on his letter head which all web sites will publish and then he will get back to attending more cinema related functions + marriage reception,TV serial thodakkam,seminars etc etc etc.

  Regarding Nayakan's ananda vikatan's review, the full review of nayakan was not published. vikatan never praised Ilaiyaraja that much. So don't take it seriously. Ilaiyaraja's theme music of nayakan will be remembered for long time and his BGM is one of the strongest points of the movie. Even die hard fans of ilaiyaraja don't know how talented he was. I heard that he comes out very appropriate music with in few minutes after the situation was explained to him and that includes songs also. He is pure genius and not many people know music as much as he knows.

  கலைஞர் வசனத்தில் கமல்ஹாசன் நடிக்கிறார்!
  
  முதல்வர் கலைஞருக்கு திரையுலகம் நடத்தவிருக்கும் பாராட்டு விழாவில் ஒரு முக்கியமான நாடகம் நடைபெற இருக்கிறது. அதில் நடிக்கப் போகிறவர் கலைஞானி கமல். எந்த பொது மேடைகளிலும் நாடகத்தில் நடித்திராத கமல் இந்த மேடையில் ஏற ஒப்புக் கொண்டது எப்படி? ஏன்? இப்படி பல கேள்விகள் எழுந்தாலும், எல்லாவற்றும் ஒரே பதில் கலைஞர் என்பதாகதான் இருக்கும்.
  
  இன்னும் சற்று ஆழமாக கவனித்தால்தான் தெரிகிறது, நிஜமாகவே இந்த நாடகம் கொஞ்சம் விசேஷமானது. கலைஞரின் கதை வசனத்தில் உருவான படங்களில் ஒன்று ராஜா ராணி. சிவாஜி-பத்மினி ஜோடியாக நடித்திருக்கும் இந்த படத்தில் சாக்ரடீஸ் நாடகம் ஒன்றை எழுதியிருப்பார் கலைஞர்.
  
  அந்த நாடகத்தைதான் திருப்பி அரங்கேற்ற போகிறார்கள். அந்த வசனங்களில் எந்த மாற்றத்தையும் செய்யாமல் அப்படியே பேசி நடிக்கப் போகிறார் கமல். பிப்ரவரி 6 ந் தேதி நேரு உள் விளையாட்டரங்கில் இந்த விழா நடைபெற இருக்கிறது.

  I think I am the last person to pickup the Rockefeller controversy link in Anbe sivam... Pretty interesting and would like to know if the movie 'Cradle Will Rock' or the historical incident involving Millionaire Rockefeller and the artist Diego Rivera that fueled the scene involving the painting on the boss's wall. I would be extremely sad if it was the movie and extremely happy if it were otherwise.

  cinefan - howsoever i might wish that Kamal goes back to making films that HE wishes to make, the market 'nilavaram' definitely plays a hand in his choices - plus we never know what kind of personal issues/commitments he has that force him to do such projects - after DASA, I expected one class act, but UO being a remake, at least now he shd have come up with a class act, but again a KSR project ? yedho, if his salary rate and market reach keeps increasing, it would be good for his ambitious projects later on
  
  I have a suspicion that scheduling the KSR project shooting in the US has to do with simultaneous logistics preparation plus networking for future films!
  
  

• From: Cinefan on Mon Feb 1 2:21:03 2010.

  irir,
  We sure don't know the resons which have forced him to come up with a remake in 2009 and a KSR project in 2010 instead of a film written and directed by him.
  
  But he is already 55 and I would say time is running out.Age obviously takes a toll on everything.
  
  If he is looking at earning to fund his projects so that they are made on his terms and there are no compromises,then should he not have negotiated a better deal for DASA?
  
  As bala pointed out earlier,he hardly got 12 crores for that film.
  
  As for networking in the US,adhu dhaan pannite irukkare.Onnum use aana maadhiri theriyale.
  
  Ennamo puriyale.let's see what's in store.

  It was a comedy starring Kamal and YGM. Kamal sported the Khaki Chattai/Enakkul Oruvan hairstyle and wore soda bottle specs. The screenplay was unique - in the sense, the entire story happens in a dark house.

  True appreciation of art can never be found inside neon-lit galleries or at red-carpet award nights. It can only be found on the streets, in jam-packed stadiums overflowing with college students trying to get a glimpse of a man whose art moves them.
  
  Monikers such as ‘Universal hero’ and awards are irrelevant in comparison to a sea of screaming students and they made actor Kamal Haasan, who was at the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) University for the valedictory function of Riviera ’10, a four-day sports and cultural festival, talk about his dreams, retirement plans and a shot at Hollywood
  
  Kamal Haasan said: “I have never really regretted dropping out of school. I thought I could learn it from the world. Only in moments like this, I have second thoughts.”
  
  Pointing out that rigidity in the educational system was what threw him out, he said, “Education has to be more flexible and must appreciate diversity of interests.”
  
  Lauding the announcement that hinted at VIT students having a choice to earn credits by taking courses in music, theatre and fine arts from the next academic year, he said, “I am really proud to see engineers interested in arts.”
  
  Playing to the gallery, he effortlessly switched between languages to appeal to the cosmopolitan nature of the campus and said true education must start with bringing down artificial boundaries. He followed it up with a rendition of the song ‘Anbe Sivam’ (love is god).
  
  “As the sculptors of tomorrow, I am humbled by you and I will continue to thank each one of you through my art,” he said. The overall winners in the Sports and Cultural events were awarded by Kamal Hasaan. Chancellor G. Vishwanathan spoke.

  Thaman Sai bags Kamal’s next film
  
  If Kollywood sources have got their info right, the young music director Thaman Sai who switched to music from acting, has bagged a big project — Kamal Haasan’s next venture. Tentatively titled Yaavarum Kelir, the movie is a comedy caper and will directed by an old Kamal favourite K.S.Ravikumar, with whom the actor has given many hits, including Dasavatharam. The project is to be produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin. In the early stages, the actor’s daughter Shruti was in the running for the post of music composer for Yaavarum Kelir. Now it looks as though Kamal has settled for Thaman Sai, after many discussions with the latter. Thaman is a popular name in Telugu too, with his music compositions in films like the recent hit Kick. The film has Trisha opposite Kamal. It is being planned as a bilingual in Tamil and Telugu.

  That did not happen - no - SKV? Instead they showed the famed 'sEran senguttuvan' drama - which is also featured in raja Rani rite?
  
  I wonder why "Socretes-in aRivAyutham " part was not shown - but sEran avenging the "kanaka-vijayar" for denigrating tamils - drama was shown?
  
  Mu.Ka - slipped up? or what?

  I wrote a script for kamal sir after indian.. that script also demanded heavy makeup.. kamal sir felt dat after indian n avvai shanmughi he should do a film without any special make up, then only it will look different.
  U know onething kiran, for that script only i initially titled ‘anniyan’, later i used it for ambi’s story bcoz it suited well.
  I still have dat script fresh even today.. very interesting one n completely different from my other themes.. i may even do dat as my next film.. with whom i dont know.. anything i’ll decide after enthiran only.

  Shruti Haasan to score for dad Kamal’s Yaavarum Kelir
  
  Shruti Haasan, who entered B-Town with the film Luck where she starred opposite chocolate boy Imran Khan, is a musician first. Shruti Hassan as many people must know is the daughter of superstar Kamal Hassan and beautiful actress Sarika.
  
  And not many know that Shruti is not just a big screen actress, but also a music composer for films. She has earlier scored for Tamil film Unnai Pol Oruvan that had her father Kamal Hassan as hero. And now she is gearing to compose for filmmaker K S Ravikumar's Yaavarum Kelir.
  
  This film stars Kamal Haasan and there is a lot more scope for her to compose music in Yaavarum Kelir, which is an out-an-out commercial flick unlike her previous film which was a thriller. So Shruti can finally fill the movie with lots of songs.
  
  After showcasing her talent on-screen, Shruti is set to show her musical talent to people and so actress Shruti switches to her original musician self and is ready to rock and roll!

  Kamal to come calling for literature
  If you have a flair for writing in Tamil, don’t be surprised if you get a visitor to your doorsteps in the form of actor Kamal Haasan.
  .
  In a bid to revive his literary magazine Maiyyam, Kamal Haasan along with a team of writers and literarians, has taken the initiative to call on the literary greats and budding writers personally and compile their thoughts in this regard.
  
  Sources assisting Kamal Haasan in this endeavour say, Maiyyam would be an online portal (in the form of a blog), with audio and video podcasts and separate columns by Kamal Haasan, talking about his journey in cinema and literature.
  
  In today’s techno-savvy world where most actor and actress in Bollywood have opted to go the twitter/facebook/ blog way for a more personalised relationship with their fans, Kamal Haasan’s attempt to launch the web version of Maiyyam indeed sets him apart and reflects his literary and intellectual mien.
  
  With Kamal Haasan providing the brand equity, Mayyam will dwell on the changing phase of Tamil literature, besides art and cinema.
  
  Sources add that it would chronicle the works of budding writers, giants of the industry, but in a different way.
  
  The actor himself is visiting the houses of scholars and up-and-coming writers for an up-close meeting with them. Recently he had been to the residence of noted writer Ra Ki Rangarajan in Anna Nagar and interacted with him for over a couple of hours.
  
  ‘There is no place for politics in Maiyyam since Kamal Haasan is apolitical in his thoughts and actions’, a writer, who is closely involved in the process say.
  
  Also issues like understanding good cinema, exposure to international movies will be discussed at Maiyyam by the actor himself. It is more user-friendly and there will be more interaction with the readers.
  
  The team of elite men assisting Kamal Haasan in this attempt include dialogue writers Era Murugan, Crazy Mohan, Tamil scholar Gnanasambandham and actress Gouthami.
  
  An announcement on the formal launch of the Maiyyam will be made by the actor soon, sources say.

  இணைய இதழாக வரும் கமலின் 'மய்யம்'!
  
  சென்னை: நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசனின் 'மய்யம்' இதழை இணைய இதழ் வடிவில் கொண்டுவர ஏற்பாடுகள் மும்முரமாக நடந்து வருகின்றன.
  
  'ஆன்லைன் போர்ட்டல்' அல்லது 'பிளாக்' வடிவில் மய்யத்தை வெளிக்கொண்டுவர திட்டமிடப்படுகிறது. இதற்காக எழுத்தாளர்கள், இலக்கியவாதிகள் மற்றும் நண்பர்கள் மத்தியில் கமல் ஆலோசனை நடத்திவருகிறார்.
  
  ஆடியோ, வீடியோ பாட்கேஸ்ட் வசதியுடன் கமலுக்கென்று தனி பக்கமும் இதில் இருக்கும் என தெரிகிறது. உலக சினிமா, இந்திய சினிமா, தமிழ் சினிமா தொழில்நுட்பம் குறித்து வாசகர்களுடன் கமல் பல்வேறு தகவல்களை பகிர்ந்துகொள்ள இதன் மூலம் தளம் அமைக்கப்படும்.
  
  அதோடு கமல் தனது இலக்கிய, எழுத்துப் பயணத்தையும் மய்யத்தின் மூலம் தொடருவார் என தெரிகிறது. புதிதாக தொடங்கப்படும் மய்யம் தளத்தை, சாத்தியப்படும் தொழில்நுட்ப அம்சங்கள் அத்தனையையும் பயன்படுத்தி படு நவீன முறையில் இயக்கவும் திட்டமிடப்படுகிறது.
  
  சக கலைஞர்களின் சாதனைகள், உலக சினிமா வரலாற்று தகவல்கள் எல்லாம் அடங்கிய இந்த இணையதளத்தில் அரசியலுக்கு இடமிருக்காது என திட்டவட்டமாக கூறப்படுகிறது.
  
  கமல்ஹாசனின் நெருங்கிய நண்பர்களான வசனகர்த்தா கிரேஸி மோகன், தமிழறிஞர் ஞானசம்பந்தன், எழுத்தாளர் இரா.முருகன் மற்றும் நடிகை கௌதமி ஆகியோர் கொண்ட குழு மய்யம் இணைய தள வடிவமைப்பையும், செயல்திட்டத்தையும் நிர்வகித்து வருகிறது.
  
  இதுதொடர்பாக மூத்த எழுத்தாளர் ரா.கி.ரங்கராஜனையும் கமல் சந்தித்து பேசியதாகவும், பங்களிப்பை கோரியதாகவும் தகவல்கள் வெளியாகின்றன.
  
  மய்யம் இணைய இதழ் குறித்து இரா.முருகன் தனது வலைப்பக்கத்தில் குறிப்பிடுகையில், 'மய்யம் இணைய இதழ் (Portal) வெகு விரைவில் மின்னரங்கேற இருக்கிறது. தமிழில் இது மிக முக்கியமான, இலக்கியம் - கலை இரண்டையும் இன்றைய தொழில்நுட்ப நேர்த்தியில் இணைத்து வழங்கும் பரபரப்பான தலைவாசலாக இருக்கும்' எனக் கூறியுள்ளார்.

  Littérateur Kamal to surface again
  A man of myriad talents Kamal Haasan is planning to revive his literary interests via online. Kamal is a poet, short story writer, novelist, columnist and many more. Many would remember the literary magazine ‘Maiyyam’ run by Kamal through his Kamal Haasan Narpani Mantram. The magazine was suspended a few years ago for good reasons. Now the littérateur in Kamal Haasan could not be put down for long and so he will revive the print magazine on the internet.
  
  When all celebrities of today prefer to tweet to communicate our Kamal Haasan has preferred a traditional magazine online. Kamal has met all his friends in literary circles and discussed about the revival of the magazine.
  
  As it was ‘Maiyyam’ in its online version also will deal with only literature and strictly no politics. It will be a qualitative analysis of contemporary Tamil literature. Of course there will be provisions made for fans to interact with Kamal Haasan. After all a genius who had put over 50 years in the film industry will have a lot to say and lot be asked about. The site will be a treasure of modern Tamil literature and also promote young budding writers.
  
  A-list of achievers like Crazy Mohan and Prof Gnanasambandham are ready to assist Kamal in his new endeavor.
  
  Anything possible for Kamal.

  சுயச‌ரிதை எழுதும் கமல்
  தனது ஐம்பது வருட திரை வாழ்க்கையை தொடராக எழுதவிருக்கிறார் கமல். சினிமாதான் கமலின் வாழ்க்கை. வாழ்க்கைதான் சினிமா. அந்தவகையில் இந்தத் தொடர் அவரது சுயச‌ரிதையாக இருக்கும்.
  
  கமல் தனது நின்றுபோன மய்யம் பத்தி‌ரிகையை இணைத்தில் கொண்டு வருகிறார். இதற்கான பணிகள் நடந்து வருகின்றன. இணைய பத்தி‌ரிகையில் பணிபு‌ரிய நிருபர்களையும், சப் எடிட்டர்களையும் தேர்வு செய்யும் வேலைகள் நடந்து வருகின்றன.
  
  கமலின் பங்களிப்பு அதிகம் இந்தப் பத்தி‌ரிகையில் இருக்கும் என எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது. முக்கியமாக கமல் தனது ஐம்பது வருட திரை வாழ்க்கையை எழுதவிருக்கிறார். அதேபோல் அவரது வெளிவராத கவிதைகள் இந்த இணைய பத்தி‌ரிகையில் இடம்பெறும் எனவும் தெ‌ரிகிறது.

  Kamal Haasan’s Project With Hyderabad’s Trikona
  For those who are not aware, Trikona is the talk of the tinsel town. Well, the reason for that is this company happens to be the brains behind the movie ‘Mayabazaar’ in color. They did the entire project for the Goldstone technologies company and here is the best part. Trikona deals not just with colorization but also with graphics, 3D effects and every aspect that the contemporary Hollywood experts do.
  
  News is that the iconic Kamal Haasan is impressed by their works and has revealed that he would soon be associating with Trikona for a new project. The ground work is said to be on currently and it seems that the talks have been proceeding positively so far.
  
  The details of the project will be revealed soon and it is not like the coloration of any movie or something but a fresh project. If this works out as scheduled then Trikona would be creating a new wave in Tollywood and with someone like Kamal being a part of it would be an icing on the cake.

  இடம் பெயரும் கலைஞானி...!
  
  கலைஞானி கமலுக்கு ஆழ்வார்பேட்டை ஆண்டவா என்று அவரது ரசிகர்கள் சூட்டிய செல்லப் பெயர் ரொம்பவே பாப்புலர். அந்தச் செல்லப் பெயர் கமலின் படத்தில் இடம்பெறும் அளவுக்கு பிரபலமானது. சென்னை ஆழ்வார்பேட்டை, எல்டாம்ஸ் சாலை சந்திப்பில் உள்ள தனது வீட்டை காலி செய்து விட்டு சென்னை கிழக்கு கடற்கரைச் சாலையை ஒட்டிய புறநகர் பகுதியான சோழிங்கநல்லூரில் விரைவில் குடியேற இருக்கிறார் கமல்.
  
  இதற்காக சோழிங்க நல்லூரில் வேகவேகமாக வீடு கட்டி வருகிறார். அந்த வீட்டில் பிரிவியூ தியேட்டர், நீச்சல் குளம், நடைப்பயிற்சி பூங்கா, உடற்பயிற்சிக்கூடம், ஓவியக்கூடம், போன்றவற்றை அமைத்து வருகிறார் என்று தகவல் வருகிறது. எல்டாம் சாலையில் உள்ள அவரது வீட்டை வழக்கம் போல ராஜ்கமல் அலுவலகமாக பயன்படுத்த இருக்கிறார் என்கிறது கமல் வட்டாரம்.
  
  எதற்கு கமல் சிட்டியை காலி செய்கிறார்? நாய்ஸ் பொல்யூஷன் எனும் ஒலிமாசு கமலை ரொம்பவே பதித்திருக்கிறது. பொதுவாக அமைதியை அதிகம் விரும்பும் கமல் தினசரி கடற்காற்றை சுவாசிக்க முடிவு செய்திருக்கிறார் அவர் மூச்சுப்பயிற்சியின் காதலர் என்று தகவல் கிடைக்கிறது அவரது அலுவலக வட்டாரத்திலிருந்து.

  நிகழ்ச்சியில் கமல்ஹாசன் பேசியதாவது:-
  
  தமிழனின் கடமை
  
  இந்த விழாவில் கலந்து கொள்ள அருகதை இருக்கிறதா என்று எண்ணிப் பார்த்தேன். நான் ஒரு பத்திரிகையை நடத்தினேன் என்பது கூட தெரியாத ஒரு பத்திரிகை ஆசிரியன். அதனால் கடைநிலை, கத்துக்குட்டி பத்திரிகை ஆசிரியன் என்ற நிலையில் இங்கு நான் இருக்கிறேன் என்று நினைத்துக் கொண்டேன். எனக்கு கருப்பு ரொம்ப பிடிக்கும். சிவப்பும்தான். கருப்பும், சிவப்பும் கூட பிடிக்கும். ஆனால் எந்நேரமும் அதை பூசிக் கொள்ள மாட்டேன். அந்த வண்ணங்கள் எல்லாம் மக்கள் தேவைகளை பூர்த்தி செய்வதற்காக எழுந்தவை. அவற்றை தேவைப்படும்போது பூசிக் கொள்ளலாம்.
  
  கலைஞர் பாராட்டு விழாவில் அதிக அளவில் கலந்து கொள்ளும் நிலைய வித்வான் என்று என்னை பத்திரிகைகளில் எழுதுகிறார்கள். இந்தவிழாவில் இருக்கும் வித்வான்களை பாருங்கள். நான் தேவையான பாட்டைத்தான் பாடிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறேன் என்ற பெருமை எனக்கு இருக்கிறது. இந்த புத்தகத்தில் கருப்பும், சிவப்பும் உள்ளது. இந்து ராம் கூறியதுபோல், பெரியார் பற்றிய விரிவான புத்தகம் வெளிவரவேண்டும். ஸ்டாலின் பற்றிய இந்நூல், தனி மனிதனைப் பற்றியதாக அமையவில்லை. எமர்ஜென்சியின்போது எழுந்த முக்கிய திராவிட குரல்களின் ஒன்று அது. இந்த குரலை மேம்படுத்த வேண்டிய கடமை தமிழனுக்கு உள்ளது.
  
  நான் ஸ்டாலினை பலமுறை சந்தித்திருக்கிறேன். ஒரு தலைவரை சந்தித்த உணர்வு நமக்கு ஏற்படாத வகையில் தொடர்ந்து தன்னை அந்த (எளிமை) நிலையிலேயே அவர் வைத்திருக்கிறார். அதை பார்த்து வியந்திருக்கிறேன். அந்த குணாதிசயம் எப்படி வந்தது என்பது பற்றி இந்த புத்தகத்தில் சொல்லப்பட்டுள்ளது.
  
  இவ்வாறு கமல்ஹாசன் பேசினார்.
