yes ... whenever he tries a "feel good" movie in recent times (athu thaan .. MMA and MX) , it has sothappified.. but this time .. i am confident.. bcos lingu has chosen one of the 3 screenplays given to him by Kamal.. so, basically Lingu has decided on the story of the movie .. being a fan himself and also as a producer, he must have chosen the right one .. i hope it is an ambitious project ..

Hope they don't budget it very big and struggle later. I expect this movie to be done like Thenali or MMKR...

[Adox]

Just wondering - Is this going to be a remake of Akshay/Anupam's special chabbis 26 ? I've seen it and although not top of the world, it is quite entertaining. His previous remake of unnai-pol-uruvan (A Wednesday) and this one are both by Neeraj Pandey.

[Anban]

no chance

[hattori_hanzo]

Anban, cant wait. seekkaram details pls. Ramesh Aravind or Lingu? Is the title confirmed? :roll:

listen to KB's question at the end.. he asks " Kamal, you only can make a movie, without a big budget, showcasing your skill in a great way, mind boggling, realistic and also "janaranjagam" at the same time.. Will you do it now ?" .. Ramesh Arvind immediately intervened that Uthama Villain is one such movie ..

[hattori_hanzo]

wow, great news.

[Adox]

One more thread going .. Please consolidate.

[Anban]

yes dell_gt started a thread two mins before me .. join these two ..

Very curious about story line and the cast ... Any details ?

With a title like Uttama Villain, it appears like a robin hood kind of in a lighter vein with ample comedy ?

thx Anban for the link.. I also watched this program, somehow missed to catch this moment... superb..

One more thing, while answering a question from KSR, KH tells that, it will be a 2014 release as well!!

[paranitharan]

Has Arvind directed any movies before? Not sure what to expect out of this combo. When KSR is said to be the director, it gives more confidence because we know who will be in charge.

PKS :oops: boring movie but Punchathanthiram was good and a lot better.

[leosimha]

Crazy Mohan has lost his touch. there is no more sense of humour in his dialogues and not wittier any more. :(

[rsubras]

PKS :oops: boring movie but Punchathanthiram was good and a lot better.

may be your view...........but I had always liked when kamal plays a naïve / innocent character as in PKS than a smart and genius ... esp in comic films... PKS la music um nalla irukkum (Deva scored for both movies) and also the BGM.... in PKS, characters are more natural / relaxed than in PT where they try a bit hard (the characters and I am not mentioning the acting... :))

[Anban]

surely, this is not a comedy movie .. but i think Crazy is there as he is close to Kamal .. he wrote the dialogues for naan-ee and other non comic films too .. we cant under estimate him ..

Kamal Haasan Ropes in Balachander for 'Uthama Villain'

Chennai: Legendary filmmaker K. Balachander will essay an important role in Kamal Haasan-starrer Tamil comedy "Uthama Villain", which will go on floors soon after the release of "Vishwaroopam 2".

Kamal Haasan, K Balachander

Balachander, known for shaping Kamal's career, worked with the actor in over 30 films since 1973 Tamil drama "Arangetram".

"It's true that Balachander will be playing an important role. He will be sporting a beard for it. On Kamal's personal request, he agreed to be part of the project. It will be a role very close to his real life personality," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

In 2010, Balachander had starred in Tamil romantic drama "Rettaisuzhi".

"Uthama Villain", written by Kamal, will be directed by his best friend Ramesh Arvind, also a student of Balachander. The film will follow the story of an ageing superstar, which will be played by Kamal.

"The film will only go on floors after the release of 'Vishwaroopam 2'. Kamal has also roped in his favourite dialogue writer 'Crazy' Mohan for the film," the source added.

In the past, Mohan penned dialogues for several comedies starring Kamal such as "Michael Madana Kama Rajan", "Apoorva Sagodharargal", "Avvai Shanmugi" and "Panchathantiram".

Arrived at the party a tad late I guess. Thanks for the thread and all the updates guys . The addition of KB into the mix does spark some interest. And when was the last time Kamal did something that was high in quality but low in terms of the money invested? Hope Uthamma Villain is one such venture.

MX was made in a crore or less I guess (from what I've heard). Also really happy to see Crazy-Kamal combo after more than a decade.

[Adox]

Trying to rekindle this ... Of the low budget movies, which ones were box office successes and which weren't ?

Among the less-efforted ones, I know MX was not and so was MMA. Not sure if MMA was low budget though. What about Unakkul-Oruvan ? Mostly with just a laptop in an unfinished terrace and was a bo success. There was Vasool Raja MBBS as well. Can anybody provide some more information about these ventures ?

[leosimha]

I guess MX was break-even.

Unnaipol Oruvan (not Unakkul Oruvan ;)), ROI-wise was a big hit. The budget was just 12 cr and it made >=40 cr in Tamil & Telugu, which is more than 3 times the investment.
MX must have been profitable for RKFI but the distributors suffered losses. Kamal Haasan compensated them.
MMA was not a low budget movie. So no comments.
Singaravelan was a medium budget flick which did very well commercially, much better in B&C than in A centers (rare for a Kamal film).
Both Magalir Mattum and Sathi Leelavathy were made in shoe-string budget but turned out to be major money-spinners.
Gautam Menon in an interview said that he had some budget constraints while shooting Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu and that not much was spent on making it. He said something like "KH's salary formed a major chunk of the budget". It became a blockbuster.

Vasool Raja (Super Hit), Thenali (Blockbuster), 5thanthiram (Below Average), PKS (Hit) - all these movies had a decent star cast & some songs shot abroad. Cant be considered as low budget ventures.

[leosimha]

Thenali Blockbuster :shock:

[Russellyhd]

i think 5thanthiram s nt below avg... above avg.. :)

There were problems in terms of finance for VV, but it was not a low budget movie. Good amount of money was spent for shooting in US and it was very much visible as well. The initial producer Khaja taken lot of money on loan and that also was a big problem, some how 7th channel Manickam Narayanan took over and cleared the debts. In the end it was a very profitable venture.

Yeah but in this interview he specifically said the budget given to him by the new producer was limited (slightly more than Kaaka Kaaka) and he managed to complete the movie with it. I don't remember where I read it.


Thenali Blockbuster :shock:

Adhullenna sandhegam? Silver-Jubilee in TN and 75+ days in Kerala.

It did moderate business in Chennai, but not in other centers. Kamal range-ku Below average dhaan.

[hattori_hanzo]

K.Vishwanath made three movies with Kamal, low in budget & high in quality. The first two were very successful in Telugu and Tamil. Subha Sankalpam, the third was a big hit in Andhra. The Tamil version, Paasa Valai, though was not as successful as the other two, ran for more than 50 days in AVM Rajeshwari, Devi Paradise. Normally, Telugu dubbed movies (except some rare cases like Vyjayanthi IPS, Idhu Dhaan Da Police, Naan E, Maaveeran) do not run more than a week in TN. And there's absolutely nothing TN audience can connect to, in Paasa Valai, which is a movie about Andhra fishermen. Still it managed to do well, for Kamal.

yea PasaValai got released in Malaysia as well.. after Indian i guess..

Watched some scenes from Rama Shama Bhama (Kannada remake of Sathi Leelavathy). Ramesh Aravind, to my surprise, seems to be Kannada cinema's P.Vasu/S.P. Muthuraman ;) The movie is a diluted(with added masala) version of Balu Mahendra's Sathi Leelavathy. Subtle comic scenes are stretched and made to reach the front bench mahajanangal.

In General Kannada movies are mostly of like this only.. Moreover it is not correct to compare Ramesh Aravind with Balu Mahendra.. :)

[Anban]

I guess MX was break-even.
it was a dead low budget movie .. break even is obvious for Kamal ..

but the fact is, it is an utter flop :(

[Adox]

Any movies involving foreign shooting, budget should be quite high. SO that rules out VV, MMA, Dasa etc.

Sorry, typo meant Unnai-pol-oruvan :) Probably the best in recent times.

- AnbeSivam - medium budget, critically acclaimed but BO flop.
- Guna - med budget, critically acclaimed but flop.
- Unnal-mudiyum-thambi - med budget, average, not a big winner but good songs and message.
- Kalaigyan - sumaar movie and BO flop.

[dell_gt]

"- Kalaigyan - sumaar movie and BO flop. "

Yeah but initially I thought RA would have retained the class in RSB. However, I still found those scenes funny. Many of the additional comedy lines and chaplinesque gimmicks must have been included by KH himself. And KH-Urvashi chemistry :thumbsup:

Unlike his other 'green' movies like Satya, Mahanadhi etc. , I remember very little of kalaigyan other than the song 'endhan nenjil neengadha thenral needhana'. Maybe time to take another look at it!

One more to that list will be Paer-sollum-pillai with KR.Vijaya .. Dont remember that one at all.

[Adox]

Unnal-mudiyum-thambi s avg grosser :oops:

I thought it s BB :|

Nope. Unfortunately his 'karruthu' movies like this, anbesivam etc. don't seem do good in BO. But anybody who've seen them will say they're good movies! This movie carried a neat message and the title and other songs in the movie say it all.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

MX was made in a crore or less I guess (from what I've heard). Also really happy to see Crazy-Kamal combo after more than a decade.

But MX hardly set the box office on fire did it. I for one liked the movie, but found it a little confounding to see the general audience rejecting it outright. So I guess Kamal would not want to have a repeat of that. And I don't see this being done in such a shoe string budget. At the end of the day it depends on as to how much of artistic expression you're ready to forsake for profit. Afterall cinema in one angle is just another business venture. Actually Kamal's quote in the Jaya TV Pattimandram on him wanting to make bengali (Ray) art films commercially viable comes to my mind.

[venkkiram]

it was a dead low budget movie .. break even is obvious for Kamal ..

but the fact is, it is an utter flop :(

When we say "dead low", does it include Kamal's salary too? I guess Kamal's salary is anywhere between 20 to 30 Cs.

[Anban]

When we say "dead low", does it include Kamal's salary too? I guess Kamal's salary is anywhere between 20 to 30 Cs. he was the producer .. if some other guy produced it , it would have been a big loss .. at that time, i dont think anybody's salary was above 10 C ..

Kamal educates me on various topics and helped me understand the nuances of Film Making

clearly any one can understand the real director is going to be Kamal.. Then why Kamal need Ramesh Arvind :confused2:

[Cinefan]

I will write off Kamal ghost directing with Ramesh Arvind around.

Collaboration - Yes, RA being a dummy - A big NO

pattu ellam attagasama irruku.... kamal's hair style in the movie was pretty good.

[hattori_hanzo]

pattu ellam attagasama irruku.... kamal's hair style in the movie was pretty good.

Enthan Nenjil and Dillu Baru Jaane were instant hits.

But the stage songs were weak in both music and picturization. Kamal had given a big break to stage singer roles and a lot was expected from this movie. But Jadakku mudakkaana sarakku was just mediocre, with inane lyrics like "deengu danga". Another stage song, "Kalaignan Kattu Kaaval" had some unrelated and unnecessary flashback scenes - probably introduced to confuse viewers. It backfired.

Other possible reasons for its failure.

- Other than Kamal, Sivaranjani and Nasser, the cast members were all new.
- Villain not strong enough (he was a Kannada hero) & his motif wasnt too convincing.
- little or no comedy (that Kannada inspector was annoying)
- Nasser, as usual, wasted.
- Was released few days +/- Roja

Positives

+ Kamal's look, style and costumes were aasam.
+ BGM, especially the water drop, rocked!
+ The two songs mentioned above
+ The Knife fight with Sivaranjani's boy friend was Marana Mass!
+ Suspense was maintained till the very end

[HonestRaj]

- Was released few days +/- Roja


i remember it was running along with Sarathkumar's VEDAN

biggest -ve is, we get a feel like watching a dubbing film

[Cinefan]

Kalaignan was released in 1993 much after Roja (August 92) and Thevar Magan (Deepavali 1992).

Release date was the same as Roop Ki Rani Chooron ka Raja(which ended up as a disaster).

I liked the movie when I watched it,saw it 3 times in the theatre I guess, but the film has not aged well.Some of the action scenes looked amateurish(line of Ambassodar cars allowing Kamal to run up on them)when I watched it sometime back on TV.

Flashback was unnecessary and Kamal looked flat in the emotional scenes of the song.

But the film was stylishly made,Bindiya was gorgeous,couple of songs were Good,the lines introducing Kamal's character,Indrajit, was cool and the suspense was maintained throughout.

The villain was Kannada actor/director Guru dutt

Kamal Haasan's next offering after Vishwaroopam 2 would be Uthama Villain directed by Ramesh Arvind and produced by Thirrupathi Brothers. Kamal is reported to be playing an ageing superstar in the movie.

We have an update regarding the technical team of Uthama Villain. Promising young composer Ghibran who happens to be one of the main crew members of Vishwaroopam 2, is set to compose for Uthama Villain as well. He has also apparently composed 4 songs for the film already. Kamal Haasan is also expected to pen lyrics for the movie, as he generally does for some of the songs in his films.

Uthama Villain will be shot in full swing once Kamal is free from his commitments for Vishwaroopam 2. He recently updated that CG works are happening in full swing for this sequel to 2013's blockbuster, Vishwaroopam.

Three heroines for Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan is all set to go on floors withUthama Villain this month. The film, directed by Ramesh Aravind, will start rolling in Chennai, and we hear that the Ulaganayagan will have three heroines in it. However, we understand that none of the names have been finalized yet.

A source close to the project tells us, "Kamal and Ramesh will hold the pooja launch of the film in Chennai on February 24. They will start shooting some sequences in the city before they go in for a schedule break. The film will have three heroines, and the team has approached some of the top actresses for the roles. Kajal Aggarwal, Tamannaah and Trisha (with whom Kamal earlier acted in Manmadan Ambu) are some of the names that are being bandied about. It's expected that Ramesh will zero in on his heroines by the end of this month."

5 hour makeup routine for KamalHaasan's UthamaVilain film.

The look is yet to be revealed, but if sources are to be believed, Kamal Haasan's makeover in Kannada actor-director Ramesh Aravind's next directorial venture Uthama Villain is something to watch out for.

The team has been quite quiet about the actor's character in Uthama Villain as the the team was working extra hard at the makeover.

Latest on that front is that there is indeed a look that was finalized and Kamal Haasan made a two-day hush hush visit to Bangalore only to be a part of the photo shoot for this film.

The makeup session for the same apparently took him five long hours. Our source also reveals, Kamal Haasan was on location around an hour and a half before schedule, and seemed very excited about trying out something new.

With the film getting set to go on floors soon, it is only a matter of time before fans can check out the new look.

Media has it that its a comedy riot mainly because of crazy mohan's involvement ..

Kamal Haasan's Uthama Villain to begin

Kamal Haasan was recently in the news for being conferred with the prestigious Padma Bhushan. Back to work, the veteran will begin his next film Uthama Villain which will go on floors from March 3rd in Bangalore. This project will be produced by Lingusamy for Thirrupathi Brothers and directed by Kamal’s long term buddy Ramesh Arvind.

Crazy Mohan takes charge of the dialogues of the film which is a clear indication that the film is going to be a laugh riot. Music director Ghibran who is working with Kamal in Vishwaroopam 2 has been brought on board for Uthama Villain too. As per the sources, the film is set to be a quickie, to be wrapped in two to three months time in a single schedule.

Kamal’s role is likely to be in sync with his real age and the other details regarding heroine and cast members would be released soon.

Actually iv seen movies directed by ramesh aravind in kannada.. i think he's better than all other directors in kannada..atleast in screenplay,...(kannada cinema is at it its worst phase right now), maybe he learnt his basic filmakin skills from the tamil industry(read K. balanchandar & Kamalhassan), I hope Kamalji doesnt involve in ghost directing it....

The word வில்லன் here has something to do with "வில்", which is drawn around 'உத்தம'. There are 2 red spots inside, denoting two targets?

The word, "வில்லன்" is the Ambu here. Look at the two edges next to "ன்"

"உ" is missing the circle, but instead "வி" has a large one. Placing it next to 'உ' makes it looks like the number 20. Not sure if this has any significance.

Venki - This is nothing to do with "The travel photographer" he just took the photograph of a Theyyam artist... not his own creation, many pictures are available related to this art..

Quoted from website ithayakkani.com..
இது கேரளாவில் பிரபலமான வடக்கு மலபார் பகுதியில் 400க்கும் மேற்பட்டவர்கள் இதனைச் செய்து வெளிப்படுத்துவது 'தையம்' என்றழைக்கப்படுகிறது. ஆதிவாசி மக்களிடம் அறிமுகமாகிய இதன் பூர்விகம், சில ஆயிரம் ஆண்டுகள் பழமை வாய்ந்தது. கோயில்களில் நடைபெறும் விழாக்கால நிகழ்ச்சிகளில் குறிக்கும் வகையில் 'தையம்' நடனம் கலைஞர்களால் வழங்கப்படுகிறது. 'கதகளி'க்கான ஒப்பனையை ஒட்டியே தையம் ஒப்பனையும் இருக்கிறது.

What is Uthama Villain going to be about?

The first look poster and a thirty nine second teaser of Kamal Haasan’s Uthama Villain was recently out and became the talk of the town. The film to be directed by Ramesh Arvind with dialogues of Crazy Mohan goes on floors today, the 3rdof March 2014.

Looking at the poster design and the title arrangement, one can’t miss its artistic flavor. Delving just a little, the colorful mask and the musical beats in the teaser point towards some kind of curtain raiser for a session on performing arts.

Added to that, the way in which the two words ‘Uthama’ and ‘Villain’ are set in the title card is interesting, especially ‘Uthama' which looks like the villu (bow) of villupaattu, a traditional story telling form prevalent in Tamil Nadu and Kerala which is on its way to extinction. The ‘Uthama’ villu is quite artistically decorated with equally spaced out bells.

Observing and speculating on these, the plot of the story perhaps deals about performing traditional art forms and Kamal may be the key note player in this.

Meanwhile there was another poster from Uthama Villain in which Kamal, dressed contemporarily, apparently performing on the stage tries to hold a child’s hand which is being extended by a lady from the audience while his other hand is on a camera. There are quite a number of hands seemingly in an applauding motion.

This might again indicate that Kamal is some kind of a performing artist on stage that is being lauded by audience.

When you think about the title, it also suggests that Kamal may be playing an antagonist in his stage appearances but is actually the ‘good’ man in real life which justifies the title.

Whatever it is, the film has whipped up an intense storm and audiences are just waiting to get soaked in Kamal’s magic.

‪
#‎KamalHaasan‬ is one actor who always treads the road less travelled. And proving his versatility again, Kamal has tried a new look for his upcoming Tamil film, Uthama Villain, directed by Sandalwood’s Ramesh Aravind.

Kamal, who is currently in Bangalore, will start his first schedule for the film today. The film has hit the social media with a teaser.

Ramesh says, “The look is part of the film, which has a mysterious shade to it. It took four to five hours for him to get this look. The make-up was done in a very natural and desi style.”

Ramesh is looking at three months of hectic work for the movie. “We will start from Bangalore and shoot some portions in Karnataka followed by North India before we head overseas,” he adds.

After Kamal and K Balachander, we now hear from reliable sources that K Vishwanath will also be part of the film. “Right now I can only say, that it is a great honour to be working with the legends,” Ramesh says. Apparently comedian Vivek has been roped in for the film and names like Kajal Aggarwal, Tamannaah, Trisha, Parvathy Menon, Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah are popping up in the list of actresses.

'உத்தம வில்லன்' படத்தின் நாயகிகள் யார்?

உத்தம வில்லன்' படத்தில் கமலுடன் ஆண்ட்ரியா, பூஜா குமார், ஊர்வசி, பார்வதி மற்றும் பலர் நடிக்க இருக்கிறார்களாம்.

'விஸ்வரூபம் 2' படத்தினைத் தொடர்ந்து ரமேஷ் அரவிந்த் இயக்கத்தில் 'உத்தம வில்லன்' படத்தில் நடித்து வருகிறார் கமல். இப்படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு திங்கட்கிழமை முதல் பெங்களூரில் நடைபெற்று வருகிறது.

படப்பிடிப்பு தொடங்கி இருப்பதைத் தொடர்ந்து கமலுடன் யாரெல்லாம் நடித்து வருகிறார்கள் என்று விசாரித்ததில் கிடைத்த தகவல்கள்,

இணையத்தில் 'உத்தம வில்லன்' படத்தின் போஸ்டரை காப்பியடித்து விட்டார் என்று செய்திகள் வெளியாகின. ஆனால் கமல் போஸ்டரில் காட்டியிருப்பது 'தெய்யம்(Theyyam)' நடன வகையைச் சார்ந்தது. அந்த வகை நடனத்திற்கு இவ்வாறு தான் மேக்கப் செய்வார்கள். அனைவருமே காப்பியடித்து இருக்கிறார் என்கிறார்கள், ஆனால் தெய்யம் நடனவகை என்றால் அவ்வாறு தானே செய்ய முடியும் என்றார்கள்.

அது போலவே, இப்படத்தில் 'விஸ்வரூபம்' கூட்டணியான ஆண்ட்ரியா, பூஜாகுமார் நடிக்க இருக்கிறார்கள். அவர்களோடு ஊர்வசியும் நடிக்க இருக்கிறார்.

'உத்தம வில்லன்' படத்தில் கமலுக்கு மகளாக நடிக்க இருக்கிறார் 'பூ' பார்வதி. தொடர்ச்சியாக 2 மாதங்கள் பெங்களூரில் படப்பிடிப்பு நடைபெற இருக்கிறது.

Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan had always been a nick above the other film industry people in every sense. While others up the curiosity element only when they release their trailers and teasers, this man does that right from day one – right from the first look posters, the title font, the cast and crew – everything about his projects raises expectation levels to improbable proportions. Uthama Villain’s posters and first look teaser are no different.

The teaser of Uthama Villain features a masked face, which according to online reports is based on North Kerala’s Theyyam art form. Also known as Theyyattam or Thira, it is ritual kind of worship, with several thousand years of customs and traditions. The people consider the practitioners, generally belonging to the lower class community, of this art form as God – Kamal Haasan’s home ground, where he can score sixes and boundaries, every time and with ease. Even, a poster of the movie seems similar to Michelangelo's fresco painting, The Creation of Adam, which depicts Genesis - an image of near-touching hands of God and Adam. The imitated version, Uthama Villain has an image of near-touching hands of Kamal Haasan (God) and a child (Adam).

Also, the legendary actor’s practice of alternating between big and small movies, between serious and entertainers, in succession, suggests that Uthama Villain, coming after Vishwaroopam, might be a jolly ride. The involvement of Crazy Mohan, who had penned dialogues for classics such as Michael Madana Kama Rajan, Apoorva Sagodharargal, Avvai Shanmughi and Panchathanthiram also suggests the same.

A cult similar to Theyyam is followed in the Tulu Nadu region of Karnataka, in a different name as Bhuta Kola. The involvement of Ramesh Aravind, who has the Kannada roots, and the fact that the team is shooting in Karnataka, suggest that Uthama Villain may not be based on Theyyam, but on Bhuta Khola. And, given Kamal Haasan’s interest in experimenting with dialects, emulating Tulu language onscreen is a challenge never attempted before in Tamil Cinema, and only he can pull off.

The title card of Uthama Villain also provides a lot to contemplate on. Uthama is shaped like a bow (villu), and Villain is shaped like a key. The makers probably point to the popular Tamil Nadu art – Villupaattu, a musical story-telling form where narration is interspersed with music. It uses a Villu (bow) that has a long string under tension, and a bunch of keys called veesukols or villadi kol in each of his hands. Thus, indicating that the film might be about the dying art forms!

Well, as Uthama Villain is straight from Kamal Haasan, no one can be sure of anything, until the release of the movie. Let’s speculate as much as possible, and be surprised with something entirely different.

Getting confused on whether these are official posters or made by some others..

[Anban]

ithula enna doubt .. official posters thaan .

ithula enna doubt .. official posters thaan .

Still not able to believe the caption "Continuous Shooting still completion"..

[Anban]

Still not able to believe the caption "Continuous Shooting still completion"..
why ?

[mappi]

Took a while to do a bit of looking around, after watching Uthama Villan's title font and came across an excellent work by Stuart H. Blackburn on our VilluPattu including some amazing research on tribal traditions titled "Singing of Birth and Death". Was not an easy read, quite tedious but very interesting to know about our South Indian culture. Its full of texts and explanations. Overall an amzing read. Thought someone here would be interested to read it too. Maybe you can find more on the concepts of Villapattu, that its not just a musical story telling (as reported in sites A-Z) but there is much more to it.

About the title font : Glad that some posts have covered few point on it.
Just to generate some interest : Take a look at the "La". Its formed as an infinity symbol. Yes, the ends are not closed, and thats exactly the symbol given by Leonhard Euler. Now for the interesting part - Infinity has another meaning => "a distance setting of a camera lens beyond which everything is in focus"

And CR, by the looks, it seems to be an official poster there - clue - often official posters use the same fonts irrespective to the size of the letter.

[Cinemarasigan]

why ?

Till now not heard any of Kamal's movie got completed in a single schedule... There were breaks in the middle that's why :)

From http://www.firstpost.com/bollywood/kamal-haasan-slams-plagiarism-allegations-against-uttama-villain-1430925.html




There is speculation that the first look of Kamal Haasan's Uttama Villain is inspired by an image taken by French photographer Eric Lafforgue, but the veteran actor has slammed the allegation."Theyyam is a more than a 1,000-year-old art. The make-up was done by a good artist, who is probably a third generation practitioner of this art. The lighting might have been similar," he said.
"It is like saying two lovers - one leaning on another's chest looking in the same direction is a copy of the 'Ek Duje Ke Liye' poster," he added.
Explaining the concept behind the first look, Kamal said: "My film has a Theyyam dance fusion with Tamil Nadu' s Kooththu tradition."
Painting his face for the look was not easy.
"That is not a mask. It is painted on my face. It took 4 hours to paint my face. It is a tradition passed on from many generations.
Uttama Villan chronicles the life of a superstar who decides to make a period comedy called Uttama Villan.

Kamal Haasan hits back at allegations about Uthama Villain's first look

Kamal Haasan's Uthama Villain had its first look posters and a teaser revealed some days back, and though a majority of the public were in awe of what they saw and were totally bowled over by the creativity and idea behind the posters, a section of people alleged that this poster may have been inspired by one of acclaimed French photographer Eric Lafforgue's work.

Kamal responded to such allegations in a matter of fact manner on the sidelines of a big media conference in Mumbai.

"Theyyam is more than a 1,000-year-old art. The make-up was done by a good artist, who is probably a third generation practitioner of this art. The lighting might have been similar. It is like saying two lovers - one leaning on another's chest looking in the same direction is a copy of the 'Ek Duje Ke Liye' poster."

Kamal further explained the idea behind the look

"My film has a Theyyam dance fusion with Tamil Nadu' s Kooththu tradition."

And what we actually see in the first look poster is not a mask but Kamal's own painted face.

"That is not a mask. It is painted on my face. It took 4 hours to paint my face. It is a tradition passed on from many generations."

Kamal has already got the public's attention with just his first look materials, and what he has in store in the movie would be watched with keen interest.

in a previous page of this thread, some one mentioned panchatantram was a flop. i heard it was a profitable venture at the box office. it is one of the movie which i would watch time and again. whenever we friends/relatives have get together, those dialogues are always remembered. the slapstick comedy among 5 inebriated friends coupled with versatile nagesh are always a treat to recall.

With Uthama Villain (UV) going on floors , recently, actor-director Ramesh Aravind has roped in Parvathi to play the female lead opposite Kamal Haasan while actress Andrea will also have a part to play.

Ramesh, who is currently busy on the sets, confirmed this and said, “Yes, Parvathi is a fine actress and she fits the bill.”

When City Express spoke to Parvathi, she was excited about joining the team from March 15. She said, “You always look for a team which works differently. With the combination of Kamal and his team, Uthama Villain is a dream come true in that sense. Secondly, playing a similar character in all my Tamil films, I am getting to play a different role in UV. I cannot get into details about the film but it is definitely exciting,” said Parvathi. According to her, with a writer like Kamal, there is something unique that one can look forward to. “And with actors like Andrea, Urvashi, Jayaram in the movie, you have so many collaborators, and there will be a lot of give and take among the actors,” she said.

உத்தம வில்லன் படத்திற்காக நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசனுக்கு மேக்-அப் செய்தவர் தீயம் கலைஞர்


புகைப்படத்தில் இருக்கும் இந்த டிஸைன் கேரளாவில் மலபார் பகுதியில் கொண்டாடப்படும் தேயம் என்கிற கலையின் வடிவமாம். இந்த நாட்டியத்தின் கலைஞர்கள் இது போன்றுதான் மேக்கப் போட்டு ஆடுவார்களாம். இதனைத்தான் அந்த பிரெஞ்சு புகைப்படக்காரர் புகைப்படமாக எடுத்து தனது வலைத்தளத்தில் வைத்துள்ளார்.

இந்நிலையில், சர்ச்சை குறித்து நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசனின் வட்டாரம் வெளியிட்டுள்ள தகவலில், போஸ்டர் மற்றும் புகைப்படம் ஆகிய இரண்டும் ஒன்றை ஒன்று ஒத்ததாக தீயம் கலை வடிவத்தை வெளிப்படுத்தும் வகையில் இருப்பதற்கான வாய்ப்புகள் உள்ளன.

கேரளா நாட்டை சேர்ந்த தீயம் கலையின் 3வது தலைமுறையை சேர்ந்த ஒருவர்தான் நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசனின் முகத்தில் வர்ணம் பூசி உள்ளார் என்றும் எனவே, இதில் ஏமாற்று வேலை என்பதற்கான கேள்விக்கு இடமில்லை என்றும் தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

Why Uthama Villain team shifted to Chennai?

Kamal Haasan had planned to complete the shooting of Uthama Villain in various locations in Karnataka and the shooting was in progress at Bengaluru for the past few days. But out of the blue, the team shifted base to Chennai and it is now said that the shooting will recommence in the city.

Sources say that the decision to make a move was taken after the Kannada Producers’ Union threatened to stage a protest if the shooting continued in the city. However, there is no exact info on what provoked the protest.

But sources close to the Uthama Villain team say that the shooting was shifted to Chennai as per plans made earlier and there were no protest as claimed by a section of the media.

Rajini to do a cameo in Kamal’s Uthama Villain

Sources are rife with the news that Rajinikanth will be seen in a cameo in the Kamal Haasan starrer Uthama Villain. Both the stars had shared the screen space in several blockbusters early in their career but at one point decided to stop working to together.

For Uthama Villain, Rajini will be seen in a video conferencing scene. It may be mentioned here that Kamal plays dual roles in the film and Rajini will be seen talking to the character Manoranjan through video conferencing. We also hear that Rajini will appear as his own self.

If Tamil superstar Rajnikanth plays a historical figure, can the other super hero of the state, Kamal Hassan, be far behind.



There is this unwritten, unspoken competing spirit between the two giants of the Tamil cinema industry.



Some may call this rivalry. But is it this? Or, is it just plain healthy competition.



The answer to this came long years ago, when some one asked Kamal if he would act in a work that had Rajnikanth as well. Hassan smiled and said no producer would be able to afford the two of them together.



Getting back to history, in Kochadaiiyaan, Rajnikanth dons the role of a Pandiyan king, Kochadaiiyaan Ranadhiran, who ruled from 710 to 735 AD. The film in 3D adopting what is called “performance capture technology” (presumably the first ever time an India movie is using this), talks about a monarch who is actually not well known.



History texts have hardly anything to say about him, except that he ruled from his capital city of Mangalapuram (Mangalore) as the head of the Pandyan dynasty. This was one of the three most important dynasties in south India, the other two being Cheran and Cholan.



Thanks to Rajnikanth and his upcoming film, the Pandyan king is bound to rise from the rustiness of history and shine. Who knows, texts may add new pages on him.



Now Hassan is getting into history all right by essaying an 8th century folk artist, Uttaman, in the under-production movie, Uttama Villain. Like in the case of Ranadhiran, hardly anything is known about Uttaman. We will wait for Hassan to enlighten us.



However, the actor will portray not just Uttaman in the picture, but also a 21st century cinema superstar, Manoranjan.



Kamal has always been enamoured of dual or multi roles. We saw his Dasavatharam – where he appears as 10 different characters. This was a humungous progress – if one may call it so — from the quadruplets he essayed in both Michael Madana Kama Rajan and Apoorva Sagodharargal.



Even in Viswaroopam, Hassan transforms from a feminine dance master to an Intelligence officer. Such, it seems, is his passion to act out diverse characters in the run time of one single film.



Uttama Villain will see him as a gentle folk/drama artist and a popular star, and will have the legendary Tamil director, K Balachander — whom Kamal describes as his mentor – also as a mentor on the screen.



Uttama Villain will also have another helmer, K. Vishwanath – who has directed Kamal in several Telugu classics — as Uttaman’s father-in-law. Andrea Jeremiah will pair with Manoranjan, while Pooja Kumar enacts an emotionally disturbed princess in love with Uttaman.



Ramesh Aravind will direct the movie, whose story and script have been penned by Hassan himself.



In Kamal’s long career which began with the 1960 Gemini Ganesh-Savithri starrer, Kalathur Kannamma, (where Hassan is a mere child), his best works have been those that told us very personal stories, like Nayagan, Moondram Pirai, Ek Duje Ke Liye and Sagar. His wide-canvas films with multiple characters have been less impressive and less endearing.

Three ‘K’s of Kollywood come together in a frame

It's now widely known that Kamal Haasan's Uttama Villain will have legendary directors K Balachander and K Viswanath in important roles. But what's interesting is that director Ramesh Aravind got all the three biggies — Balachander, Viswanath and Kamal — in a single frame. Sources close to the team reveal that Ramesh is feeling honoured to capture all the three directors in one frame.

Meanwhile, the team is presently shooting in Chennai for the 21st century portions of Kamal, in which the actor plays a cinema superstar. "The team will be shooting in a plethora of locales in the city, which include five star hotels, studios and big houses, among others till mid April. Andrea, who is playing superstar Kamal's love interest, is also shooting along with the team here," adds our source.

For Ramesh, life comes full circle

The Kannada actor, who was launched by K Balachander, has helmed the legendary director recently in Uthama Villain

Sandalwood's popular actor-director Ramesh Aravind is not only directing Kamal Haasan in his new film, Uthama Villain, but also K Balachander, the legendary Tamil director who launched the likes of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. Amid his busy schedule — he is racing to wrap the film up by May 31— Ramesh Aravind had a quick chat with Mirror.

How was it directing the legend?
He is still awesome though he is in his late 80s. My first releases in Kannada, Tamil and Telugu were directed by him. It was a thrilling experience and yeah, life has indeed come a full circle.

Tell us about his role.
Balachander plays an important role of mentor to the hero, played by Kamal Haasan. K Viswanath plays another stellar role apart from five ladies; Pooja Kumar, Andrea, Parvathi Menon, Urvashi and Parvathi Nair.

It was Balachander who delayed your directorial debut 15 years ago...
Yeah, that's true. He told me that you can direct as long as your brain is active, but the hero status you have is very rare and 'limited by physical capacity'.

What does the film talk about?
Uthama Villain means good/bad man. That's all of us, I guess. Literally, it means 'good villain', but you know we will have more than that simple an explanation.

We hear it's a full-length comedy.
It is a family drama with a big comedy block. Kamalji will play a 21st century superstar and 8th century folk artiste. A big spectacle is in store.

Have you written some of the dialogues for Uthama Villain?
No. It is Kamal's script entirely.

Even during your greatest box-office run in Sandalwood, you were accused of aping Kamal.
Frankly, I was hugely inspired by him. Still am. But other actors inside me don't get noticed perhaps because of the physical resemblance we do share. But over the years, I guess everyone develops their own style. You can't survive 150 films as the leading man otherwise.

Uthama Villain is rich in experience.
Of course. Balachander has directed over 100 films. Kamal has 250, Urvashi 500 and so on. I think we have a 1,000-film history behind the unit. It's a pleasure to direct the legends and some of the youngsters.

'Uttama Villain' to be wrapped up in May

Yesterday we reported that the shooting of 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan's upcoming film Uttam Villain is progressing in Chennai and the current schedule will go on till the mid of April. Scenes that include Kamal Haasan, veteran directors K.Balachander and K.Vishwanath., actress Andrea will be shot in this schedule.

Now the latest we hear from a source close to the unit is that director Ramesh Aravind plans to wrap up the entire shoot within May 31 so that Kamal can move on to his next project. Kamal had given bulk dates for Uttama Villain which is being jointly produced by Tirupathi Brothers and Rajkamal Films International.

After completing Uttama Villain, the Padma Bhushan actor will take up the Tamil remake of Malayalam super hit film Drishyam that will be directed by Jeetu Joseph who directed the original with Mohanlal in the lead role. The yet to be titled Tamil version of the film is likely to commence in June.

Padma Bhushan Kamal Haasan is currently working round the clock for Uttama Villain, directed by Ramesh Arvind and presented by Thirrupathi Brothers. We hear that the film's shoots will be completed by May 31st across Chennai and Bangalore, and that it may release for Vinayaga Chathurti, which falls on Friday, August 29th.

Andrea, Pooja Kumar and Parvathi are the lead actresses in Uttama Villain while the likes of Jayaram, K.Balachander, K.Vishwanath, Nasser and Urvashi would also have pivotal roles in this film, which happens in two time periods.

Ghibran scores music for Uttama Villain, which is a much-expected film for all cinema lovers this year.

Parvathy romances Kamal Haasan's son

Kamal Haasan's Uttama Villain boasts several actresses and the latest to join the film's team is Bangalore girl Parvathy Nair. The actress romances Kamal Haasan's son in the film.

Ask her how she bagged the role and she says, "The team had called upcoming actresses for screen tests for a particular role. One of the casting agents sent my pictures. I was shooting for an advertisement in Bangalore then. The agent called me and said that they were happy with my pictures. I was asked to take a screen test, where I had to enact a scene impromptu. The assistant directors shot the video. I heard that Ramesh and Kamal sir liked my performance and I got the role. It is an honour to be a part of the team."

The actress is tight-lipped about her role. However, a source says, "She plays a 19-year-old in the film, and romances Kamal's son played by newbie Ashwin. Currently, they are shooting in Bangalore. She is quite excited and nervous!"

Uttama Villain' team to visit Australia

Kamal Haasan's next Uttama Villain is progressing at a brisk pace. The team lead by the director Ramesh Aravind has completed the fist schedule in Bangalore and the second schedule is progressing in Chennai. Entirely talkie portions were shot in these two schedules.

Now the latest we hear is the team will be heading to Australia on April 26, to shoot the songs composed by Ghibran for the film. The song shooting in Australia is scheduled to happen till May 3.

As we all know Uttama Villai stars Kamal in dual roles and a host of stars including Andrea, Poojakumar, Parvathy Menon, Jayaram, Oorvasi, Nasser, K.Balachander and K.Vishwanath among others. The film produced by director N.Lingsamy's Tirupathi Brothers and Rajkamal Films International is expected to hit the screens in the month of August.

Yes,Reports say he plays an ageing Superstar.Don't know what can be a problem with that.It's quite common still for 50 + aged actors to play lead roles,in India and abroad.

"Veera Vilayattu" would be the film,the Superstar character going by the name of Manoranjan acts in.

They would have probably shot a scene where the character comes to a multiplex for a premiere show or something like that.

Which mall is this I wonder?

[Adox]

Kamal in 'Veera Vilaiyattu'

Padma Bhushan actor Kamal Haasan will be acting in a film titled 'Veera Vilaiyattu'. We know that the 'Ulaganayagan' currently has 'Viswaroopam2' and 'Uttama Villain' in hand and he will be taking up the Tamil remake of Malayalam super hit film 'Drishyam' possibly form June. When will he allocate dates for this film?

The answer is that the star need not allocate separate dates for 'Veera Vilaiyattu' and he can actually act in the film with the dates he has allocated for 'Uttama Villain'. Perplexed?

We all know that Kamal is acting as a film superstar 'Manoranjan' in 'Uttama Villain'. 'Veera Vilaiyattu' is a film that 'Manoranjan' will be acting 'Uttama Villain' and it is not an actual film that Kamal will be acting in his real life.

'Uttama Villain' a multi starrer that has Pooja Kumar, Andrea, Parvathy Menon, Jayaram, Ooravasi. K.Balachander and K.Vishwanath among others is being directed by Ramesh Aravind. The film is progressing at a rapid speed and plans are on to release the film before Deepavali.

The market decides whether he's appropriate for a role be it romantic or an aging star or whatever. Thats the bottom line. The above mentioned movies Dasa or VR were blockbusters and well accepted to say the least. I'm not sure what the issue is ...

[Arvind Srinivasan]

"Veera Vilayattu"- Sarcasm gone wrong I feel..makes it so very obvious that its a satirical take on superstardom, a theme that's already been tried and tested in films like Vellithirai. Could have been a lot more subtler IMHO

Ramesh Arvind talks about his dream project, Utthama Villain , his directorial venture that will star three great contributors to Indian cinema, Kamal Haasan, K. Balachander and K. Vishwanath


As a young actor, Ramesh suggested his interpretation of a scene they were going to enact to his co-star who was also the director. The man heard him out and said, “There are various ways to do the same scene. We’ll do it my way today. But mark my words you’ll make a good director.” “Today, I find that very profound,” says Ramesh. He should know. He’s directing three of the greatest contributors to Indian cinema (Kamal, K. Balachander and K. Vishwanath), not only in terms of numbers but content too.

With an actor of Kamal’s immeasurable talent, you need a director who can confidently tell him what not to do. ‘Utthama Villain’ will be a Kamal film with Ramesh Arvind’s touch. I catch him before he flies to Turkey to shoot a song.

Has life come a full circle?

Absolutely. Directing three of the directors I admire, KB, K.Vishwanath and Kamal as actors is something great. It’s not only the talent. They’re such bright minds. We’ve worked on the script for a long time, but KB and KV would improvise on the spot. It would be something we hadn’t even thought of. The whole experience is humbling. When I met KV for the first time, I told him that I greatly admired his films like ‘Sagara Sangamam’ and ‘Swathi Muthyam’. I told him I was open to any suggestions provided I like them. I was floored when he said he could have performed hundreds of surgeries but today he was a patient. “You cut me anywhere,” said the great man. What a way to put it. If you add up the number of films my cast — including Jayaram and Urvashi — have worked in it would be more than a 1,000 films. Above all they’re nice human beings. I remember standing in the queue to watch Kamal’s, KB’s and KV’s films. Now here I have them, all in a single frame and I’m directing them.

Kamal is not someone who does favours, professionally at least when his reputation is at stake. Why do you think he chose you?

Nobody in his right sense will do such a favour, especially handing over the director’s seat. He must have seen something in me. He’s been telling me for a long time that I’m wasting my time just acting. He always tries to promote people he believes in. He gave me the chance in ‘Rama Shama Bhama’ and it worked for both of us. We’re surprised it took so long to get together again. We wanted to do this film keeping in mind what people expect from Kamal. It’s about relationships and also has comedy which is our forte, so he probably thought I should helm it.

When Kamal writes the story and screenplay of a film, they say the director can never have creative control...

I think that’s a wrong term. That’s where all the problems in the world are. I keep telling everyone it’s not about controlling things. It’s about doing things well. Cinema is a collaborative art. It’s about getting things done without ruffling feathers. I know him for a long time, which is an advantage. We’d have discussed so much that these things don’t arise on the sets. It’s his script basically. I’ve had no problems. Having such a brilliant mind like Kamal, I’d be stupid not to use his suggestions, the right ones at least. I take an intelligent input from anyone on the set. We don’t live in times when a director sits on a chair and shouts orders.

From a fan to co-star to a friend to directing him, Kamal seems to have become a part of your life.

Undoubtedly! He’s been a part of my psyche. There are others too but Kamal has been a part of my growing up years. He was a huge star when I was in high school. Most of the people on the sets have grown up on his films. It’s a treasured friendship. It’s been smooth sailing so far. We decided right at the beginning that our personal rapport never gets disturbed by anything that happens on the set. We’re mature enough to collaborate without egos involved.

Was it a conscious decision not to act in the film?

There’s no role that suits me. You may see me in a cameo. Basically, it’s a huge responsibility. I need to keep an eye on the monitor all the time.

It’s not only Kamal. How do you go and tell a KB how to act?

That was not a problem. When they know my intentions are clean, it’s smooth. Things go wrong when the tone of your appeal is wrong. However big he may be, if the request is reasonable, anyone will listen. My nature is to tell people in the sweetest possible way. Nobody has created any problems. They only question me about their character’s intentions and motives which I find absolutely valid.

Director-actor Ramesh Aravind came back from Turkey to Bangalore on Monday, where he went to shoot some important scenes for his directorial venture, Uttama Villian. The Tamil film stars Kamal Haasan, Jayaram, Andrea Jeremiah, Pooja Kumar and Parvathi in lead roles.

Talking about his experience of filming in Istanbul, the melting pot of eastern and western civilizations, Ramesh says, "Istanbul has a fabulous character, where you can still find the old world charm and some amazing skyscrapers."

Expressing his happiness about the outcome of the Turkish sojourn, Ramesh says, "We shot a song number featuring Kamal and Pooja. As always Kamal was at his best. The shoot of the film is one big marathon. We shoot almost every day, and when we don't, we either rehearse or prepare for the next day schedule."

Talking about his experience of filming in Istanbul, the melting pot of eastern and western civilizations, Ramesh says, "Istanbul has a fabulous character, where you can still find the old world charm and some amazing skyscrapers."

Expressing his happiness about the outcome of the Turkish sojourn, Ramesh says, "We shot a song number featuring Kamal and Pooja. As always Kamal was at his best. The shoot of the film is one big marathon. We shoot almost every day, and when we don't, we either rehearse or prepare for the next day schedule."

There are rumours that the film may be releasing on August 8th..

so the question...who is coming 1st.. mano ranjan or wisam ahmad kashmiri? :)

[avavh3]

it should be VR2 or else the tempo and flavor VR created will evaporate.

My personal preference would be Wisam. Can't wait to see how the story gets unfolded and an epic adventure in India. Last but not least, Who is Wisam ?

As UV had put it Uthama Villan comming ahead could dilute the anticipation for VR2, but Uthama Villan releasing ahead could also be a nice wait-watch for us, fans, before the actual action explodes. It could also serve its purpose : "1 serious film - 1 light film" track of Kamal.

Does anyone know the reasons for the delay of VR2 making/release ?
