My Guru KB Sir was an ordainry man like Kalki Director - Kamal at Mumbai event

Our Kamal Haasan trackers in Mumbai reports that a query from Rana to Ulaganayakan at Kalki 2898 AD event and the answer had the entire audience up in adulation. The pre- release event in Mumbai was at first planned for June 10th and it was postponed as soon as news of Ramoji Film City Ramoji’s death came in. In fact, this event is the first film event in Mumbai for Prabhas. The question from Rana Daggibatti was to Kamal – Sir, Nagi ( director Nag Ashwin) does not look like a film Director. In fact , he looks like a kid who lost his way in Shambala and wandered into Hyderabad. What was your reaction on hearing the subject ? ( Shambala is one of the cities that figure in Kalki and subject is a mix of sci-fi and mythology ). Kamal answer: “ I am used to working with people who look ordinary and do extraordinary things. My Guru KB saar looks like a government official. In fact, if he enters any house, you will think he is an Income Tax official come to raid . That is how he looked. I have seen what is capable of. I think Ek Duuje Ke liye was his 60 or 70th film.” He elaborated – “ I don’t underestimate ordinary looking guys as they have a depth to them and it comes out as you talk to them. I had an opportunity to talk to him ( Nag) and he is a man of few words. The subtle way he puts across the idea and that extends to movies gets translated into great movies. When you know how to present an idea does it make it a great movie. When great ideas are not presented well , it becomes an ordinary movie. Like Amitji said = What have you been drinking? , That is how great ideas are born. Nag knows how to present an idea. Ordinary men will doubt it and start respecting it, “ Amitabh Bachchan recalled his first encounter with Nag and the script of Kalki 2898 AD. Initially sceptical, he thought, “What the hell has he been drinking?” But the experience turned out to be amazing, added Big B . Kamal Haasan praised the director for making Kalki 2898 AD and expressed his desire to play a negative character onscreen in future also. According to him, “Bad men get to do all the good things in films” . The big question is when will Kalki have the pre- release event of the Telugu version ? Reason being that the Producer Aswini Dutt is a avid supporter of AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan. Will it be in Vijaywada ?. Producer C Aswani Dutt presented the first ticket of Kalki 2898 AD to Amitabh Bachchan. Big B, in turn, handed it over to Kamal Haasan as a sign of respect. The event concluded with a keepsake photo .
