today it started with 3 kamals..father kamal and 2 daughter kamals in the same movie.. Mupperum vizha.. Ragadevan, isaignanai serthathu theninum iniaya seithi.. vazthukal andava.. ethu oru maga vetriyena nirnayikkapatta onru..
More importantly, vinayagar suzhi to Sangam..
Just the kind of beginning Fans wanted.
Looks like he has started to heed to several requests and that to fast track mode.
Three movies with single script.
Ofcourse Raagadevan will compose 4x3 about 12 unique numbers with trendy orchestration and will stick to that ethnic cultures and modulations of the character.
What more can I ask for.
Ultimate combination.
BB written all over it.
Strength of the script, Father- daughter combo , USA location , TKR after a hiatus has to bounce back, Icing on the Cake, our music god with present notations and challenge to musicians and guess what we are all a blesssed lot
Gimme Gimme More ......
Almighty thanks a lot.

PS: Saurabh Shukla wrote the screenplay for the hindi version of Mumbai Express and even acted in it. (He played Santhana Bharathi's role)
Decent performance as judge in Jolly LLB... How well he'll gel in this role is to be seen.
thought Kamal will involve IR only for complicated and serious movies...... lighter sense movies like 5 Tricks or PKS needs music more as a filler
Actor Siddique, is undoubtedly one of the finest character actors in Malayalam film industry. It is a pleasure to see him perform all kinds of roles effortlessly on the screen. If reports are to be believed, the actor is all set to mesmerize the Tamil audiences too, as he would be soon seen in a Tamil film.
Reports suggest that the actor has been roped in for an important role in Kamal Hasan's next venture Sabash Naidu, which would be directed by renowned Malayalam film-maker T K Rajeev Kumar. The actor is touted to play the villain role in this film. Siddique, is an actor who has been always happy with the work he gets in Malayalam films. Unlike, other character artistes of the industry, he hasn't been so keen on trying luck in other languages. But, the actor is not new to Tamil cinema and he made his debut in Tamil films way back in the year 2004 when he did the main villain role in Shaji Kailas's film Jana which had Ajith in the lead role. The actor was previously seen in Malayalam film Paavada, in which he did an important role. The actor's upcoming Malayalam film is the Mammootty starrer White. Well, we would like to wish the actor all the best for all of his upcoming ventures.

புதுமை செய்வதில் என்னை முந்தி கொண்டார் கமல்!- பார்த்திபன்
சென்னை கிழக்கு கடற்கரை சாலையில் பிரபல ஓவியர் ஏ பி ஸ்ரீதர் உருவாக்கிய இந்தியாவின் முதல் தந்திரக் கலை அருங்காட்சியகமான க்ளிக் ஆர்ட் அருங்காட்சியகத்தை பிரபல இயக்குநர் - நடிகர் பார்த்திபன் மற்றும் நடிகர் விக்ரமின் தாயாரான ராஜேஸ்வரி ஆகியோர் தொடங்கி வைத்தனர். நிகழ்ச்சியில் பேசிய பார்த்திபன், "நாம் ஏதாவது புதுமையாக செய்ய முயன்றால் அதை முந்திக் கொண்டு செய்ய இங்கே கமல்ஹாசன், ஏபி ஸ்ரீதர் போன்ற பலபேர் இருக்கிறார்கள்.

Will be great to watch these two together.
Movie is going to rock.
Curious to know the genre of music IR-KH are going to handle / come up with!
Any 'insider' news on the music part?

I agree that the value of the movie/content is not given or fully reflected by the title. This might turn out to be a great movie, who knows! (To some extent, who cares! I have been a Kamal fan from my childhood!)
However, my complaint is that Kamal has not learnt, or rather refuses to learn the lessons from Thevar Magan days.
Why identify a character with the name of its caste? I agree Telugu people still use caste names as surname. But, why use it in title of a Tamil movie, making it more mainstream here?
I agree this sounds like a mere tokenism, while castes and caste issues run still very deep in social and political realms of TN. For that very reason, this tokenism is required, I feel. Why forfeit however little ground gained?
calling by caste is certainly not a taboo, in fact it is a kind of respect mostly (for most of the people, for few it could be an abuse depending on who and how, that is a different argument)... that too for Telugu ppl as you yourself agreed, where ppl are addressed mostly by their surnames only Mr.Rao, Mr.Reddy etc., i dont think this will sound as appeasement or offensive
//calling by caste is certainly not a taboo, in fact it is a kind of respect mostly//
How do you say mostly? Is it based on the population percentage?
// that is a different argument//
That is the whole argument, based on which, people in TN shunned using caste name as surname.
//appeasement or offensive//
It is regressive.
looks the title controversy started
There was a movie in the name of Gandhi, anybody has objected to that title?
Sensitive titles to be objected :
Theri - Means "swear word" in Malayalam. Considering Vijay's popularity in Kerala, it has to be changed.
Linga - Title somehow related to sex and human reproductive organ. So considering teh fact that Indians are "good" people who will even object to kissing scene, title has to change.
Vettayaadu Vilayaadu - Double meaning title. Should be changed.
The list goes on and on.
Gandhi and Linga.
That's the best those who defend this title could come up with!?
:D
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Thevar Makan would have remained a classic even if it had the title "Nammavar" or "Sakthi Vel" or "Nan inge irukken" or "Iduppazhakan" or anything.
அப்புறம் என்ன த்துக்கு தேவர், நாயுடுன்னு பிடிச்சுத்தொங்கணும்னேன்?
Negative people can find issues with any title.
And such people are the ones who are really hanging on titles because they have no data point to criticize the quality of movies.
Such people will never blame the content of some movies.
It is worth seeing kamal's response for such title controversies
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9r15zQyZKw4
//Data point to criticize the quality of the movies//
Boss, I already told my complaint is only about title. You don't have to defend your Kamal against a non-existing attack.
rsubras,
Nobody talked about culture here and nobody tried to establish that culture never changes/evolves. I made my point clearly in the previous page. Kamal's video doesn't succeed in giving proxy-reply. 😊
People who are happy with the movie and not happy with the title have the freedom to watch the movie and close the eyes for 3 seconds when the title is shown :-)
//People who are happy with the movie //
I haven't said that. Just that my point here is only about the title. We know very little about the movie apart from the title.
And yes, I remember the freedom that I have. I don't forget the responsibility either.
Some folks are so funny :-)
Yes, that's how you finish a conversation that you can't handle. (y)
No point talking to people who stick to some title issue and keep cribbing as they have nothing else to crib about.
There should be some points at both sides for a debate. Otherwise it is like beating in the air.
Good to see two fans sharing difference of opinion. Only Kamal fans can do it !
:)
Vidya, I understand your concern and welcome the same. Most of the Tamilians are not adding their caste along with their name.. If the content is not going to hurt any caste or religion then it is fine I think. Artists should be allowed to do the way they want. If it is going to hurt anybody, let them take it up with him and it can be done amicably...Quote:

Raju Mahalingam, the creative head of Lyca Productions is confident that “Sabaash Naidu will be a milestone movie.” He says he saw an instant hit, the moment Kamal Haasan suggested making a movie about Balram Naidu, the popular character from Dasavathaaram. “Though Dasavathaaram had many innovative ideas, it is mainly remembered for the impact of Balram Naidu’s character.” However, the film is not a sequel, he says. “Even though it is a trilingual, we don’t think it will take too long to be made.”
Raju can’t emphasise the importance of script selection enough. “The responsibility of choosing the right script is mine. Even if narrations take three-four hours, it is important that I stay focussed. There is a lot of money at play here.” The controversy over Kaththi is still fresh in his mind. “The storm brewed unexpectedly, but the huge success of the movie helped a lot. The industry has also understood that we are keen to promote good cinema, not just try to profit from the big names. Profit is also important, of course.”
Lyca has pumped in almost Rs. 1,000 crore so far into Tamil, Telugu and Hindi cinema. “We are in films for the long haul,” he says. With established production houses like Venus, Gemini, and AVM becoming inactive, companies like Lyca, V Creations, Studio Green, and Wunderbar Films have stepped in to bridge the gap. “But we are not interested in playing the numbers game,” Raju says. “We are simply trying to restore the balance in cinema by funding medium and big-budget films.”
Lyca’s first project in Hindi is the remake of Kaththi, starring Akshay Kumar. “Although 2.0 is shaping up well, Kaththi’s remake was our first signing with Akshay Kumar. We are also remaking the film in Telugu, with Chiranjeevi set to act in it. Kathilantodu will mark his 150th film.”
Meanwhile, 2.0 marks the first time an Indian film will be made at a budget upwards of Rs. 350 crore. “Considering we were making a film with Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Shankar, we couldn’t afford to compromise on the budget. Akshay has a huge fan base, and it was a smart move by Shankar to have roped him in to play the villain,” he says. Raju again takes great pains to stress that Lyca isn’t just interested in the big films. “We are also interested in distribution, and want to help other production houses get their films out.” This year, Lyca has distributed Visaranai and Vetrivel so far. “We will take it up in a big way, this year.”
Lyca has also reportedly agreed to produce Kamal Haasan’s magnum opus, Marudhanayagam, which got shelved after a grand launch in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II, 19 years ago. I ask if it would be possible that the budget could exceed that of 2.0. “No big deal,” says Raju, characteristically.

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan and comedian Brahmanandam will join hands for the first time for an action sequence in the first schedule of upcoming trilingual action-comedy "Sabaash Naidu".
In the film, which will feature Haasan as a RAW operative, Brahmanandam will be seen as his sidekick.
"In the first schedule which will start later this week in the US, Haasan and Brahmanandam will shoot for a chase sequence. The team will spend the first few days rehearsing for the scene and will eventually shoot the scene without body doubles," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
Directed by T.K. Rajeev Kumar, the film also stars Shruti Haasan, Ramya Krishnan and Roger Narayan.
Shruti will play Haasan's reel daughter for the first time.
In the film's Hindi version, titled "Sabaash Kundu", Saurabh Shukla will replace Brahmanandam.
Nearly 80 percent of the film will be shot in the US.
Maestro Ilayaraja has already started working on the tunes.
Produced by Haasan's Raaj Kamal International, the film will hit the screens worldwide on December 1.
Thanks CR!Quote:

Compared to that a movie title is nothing !!!
In school they ask so that the historical wrongs can be compensated with.. it is for affirmative action.
Calling that BS and supporting the usage of caste titles elsewhere - Hmm....
