Kamal Haasan in Vetrimaaran direction

 


Actor Kamal Haasan and director Vetrimaaran, two National award winners are coming together for a film produced by Producer- Financier Anbu Chezhian.  In a related development, High Court has appointed a judge as arbitrator to the dispute between Producers Lyca Productions and director Shankar over the completion of Indian 2, It has Kamal Hassan in the lead role. 

The news of Vetrimaaran- Kamal coming together has been received with glee by the fans of both the stalwarts.  Both of them share the same ideology and expected to  come up with a novel theme. Recently Actor Raghava Lawrence acting in Vetrimaaran story was announced. Vetrimaaran is currently busy with Surya's Vaadivaasal' and a film with Soori.  Kamal Haasan  has asked Lokesh Kanagraj ( director of Vijay's Master) to start rolling his film Vikram. This follows the delay in start of Indian 2 shoot.

On the downside, industry sources are skeptical about announcements that feature Kamal as hero. Already Sabash Naidu ,,Thalaivan Irukiraan, The Tooth of Buddha ( Myskkin)  have been dropped. Indian 2 ran into trouble after Kamal developed allergy to prosthetics makeup. Later an accident that turned fatal to some crew members put the lid on the shoot.

Kamal before joining political campaign had said that Thalaivan Irukiraan would be his swan song after Indian 2. He shifted his goal and announced Vikram and now the teaming up with Vetrimaaran shows that he has no plans to take up politics as full time.

The High Court appointed Retd Justice Banumathi as arbitrator and asked her to talk to Lyca and director Shankar and give a report. Shankar had moved on to direct a film with Ram Charan in Telugu and Ranveer in Hindi. Lyca wanted the director to first finish Indian 2 before going to other projects.

As Kamal's political party and himself drew a blank, there were reports that he was to do the remake of Drishyam 2 as he done the first part. This said to be a quickie before the shoot of Indian 2 starts. Kamal is now also put Vikram pre- production work on top gear. Till now as per reports in the media, there are five top actors including Fahad Fazil and Vijay Sethupathi who are playing baddies in Vikram . Vetrimaaran who assisted Director Balu Mahendra had said that Nayakan was the inspiration to him to turn director.

A tweet about Visaranai from Kamal : 

 
Praising Vetrimaran's movie VisaaraNai only in Tamil is limiting an International film to parochial borders. A must watch.
“Body is shivering. Just came out from Vetrimaran's "Visaaranai" Brilliant work. Sinked in heart deeply. Congrats to the entire team..!”
