Kamal Hassan has always been versatile and shall continue being so. It is amazing to see someone who is so passionate about his work and sometimes he does get too self involved that others find him annoying. He is a perfectionist and could get onto some peoples nerve. But, look at this guy being so committed at 50 years plus and he is still going strong.
He is so amazing in the first role of a Vadiyar in Dasavatharam and potrays the character so effectively. I don't think anyone else would have done this kind of justice to the role. His appearance and personality is best suited for this role in the movie. No other role in the movie has this kind of impact on the audience.
It might sound unbelievable but when I was in school there was a movie to be shot with Kamal Hassan which later got shelved. I was spotted by the then Assistant Director of K Balachandar and I was so excited to audition for the role. It was a role opposite the GREAT KAMAL HASSAN. The role was that of a school girl and this movie was shelved around 1994 approximately. A girl from Bishop Cottons, Bangalore was selected but unfortunately the project didn't happen. I think to myself where I would have been at this moment if I had auditioned for that role and also been approached for other opportunities.
I have always been fond of Indian movies and music. I dont think any other movie industry has this kind of diversity and technical expertise. Especially the techicality in the Tamil film industry is far too advanced compared to other film industries in India. South Indian film industry is a lot more innovative and creative compared to the rest of India and most of the people would agree on this. Anything new you would see is from the South and the rest of the world is just aping the west without realizing that their ideas/ styles are so cliched. Very rarely do we see anything with a "Wow" factor and I'm not being biased here since I watch a lot of Hollywood movies and movies from other parts of the world as well.
I am proud to be a part of South India and to be born a South Indian! There is so much raw talent and also talent that needs better platform from here. One day, I plan to do something on this front and want to make documentaries if I don't intend to pursue my doctorate. If anyone knows of short terms courses please leave information in the comments section. I would really appreciate it!
Thank you for taking time to read!
