Kamal Hassan is a name that needs no introduction. The legendary personality has influenced a lot of actors and filmmakers in the past 3-4 decades.
After facing a few setbacks over the past couple of years, he bounced back with ‘Vikram’ and he is currently working on ‘Indian 2’, ‘Thug Life’ and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. As we know, ‘Indian 2’ is directed by Shankar while ‘Thug Life’ is being made by Mani Ratnam.
When his involvement in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ was announced, many expected that he was playing the antagonist’s role in this gigantic pan-Indian film. But he recently surprised everyone saying that he played a cameo in it. In a recent interview, he talked about his upcoming projects and the reason for the ‘Indian 2’ delay.
He said, “I can’t make up for the lost time. Also, we cannot speed up production as the quantity doesn’t matter, quality does. We have completed ‘Indian 2’ and ‘Indian 3’. The post-production work of ‘Indian 2’ is currently happening. We will start work on ‘Indian 3’ post-production after we finish it.”
He added, “The shooting of Mani Ratnam’s ‘Thug Life’ will start soon after the campaign ends. Also, I’ve done a cameo in a film called ‘Kalki 2898 AD’.” Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani are playing key roles in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ while Prabhas is the lead actor.
Santosh Narayanan is the music composer while Djordje Stojilijkovic is the director of photography. Ashwini Dutt is the movie’s producer. Prabhas plays the role of Bhairava and Nag Ashwin is making this magnum opus which is expected to release on 9th May.
