Chevalier Dr. Kamal Haasanin Mayyam - Part 9

[Arvind Srinivasan]

This is sort of different. Never have I seen a foreign government perpetuate an intellectual theft this openly. In a way its more scary cause its not the people of a government that are plotting against the release but the government itself.

yes this sets a bad precedent - something like this happening with a mainstream Hollywood film is unheard of (?) - wonder what the big production houses in Hollywood must be pondering now

Hattori_Hanzo,

Certainly not that way. We had a lot of interesting discussion in the recent past from Kamal to Hitchcock. I will be the last person to get disturbed by your post and if at all, I know that I can contact you thru PM and clear things out. Actually, I was already irked about these memes/trolls for a while now. Unmai Villambi just gave me an opening to pour it out thats all.

(naan oru peg potachi, irrundhalum Cheers ! ... LoL)

Thanks for the clarification.

Kamal Haasan: My best roles came from Balachandersaab

December 18, 2014 14:54 IST

'I am an actor because he made me one.'

Kamal Haasan on his mentor, director K Balachander, who is seriously ill in hospital. K Balachander, who introduced superstars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan to the movies, is critically ill in a Chennai hospital. Kamal Haasan, who is currently in Los Angeles working on his film Uttama Villain, has been checking on his mentor's health.

"Balachandersaab is my guru, mentor and guide," says Kamal Haasan. "I am an actor because he made me one. He is stable, but still critical."

Kamal Haasan started his career as a clapper boy on Balachander's sets and grew into a formidable actor under the director's attention.

"Our bond goes far beyond the usual director-actor relationship. We are guru and shishya. A lot of what I have learnt about filmmaking comes from Balachandersaab. He is a towering institution for all of us."

In 1973, this prolific director offered Kamal Haasan a walk-on part in his Tamil film, Arangentram and its Hindi version, Aaina. They later collaborated on several Tamil and Telugu hits like Apoorva Ragangal, Maro Charithra and its Hindi version, Ek Duuje Ke Liye, which marked Kamal Haasan's debut in Hindi cinema.

"If you look carefully in Aaina, you will see me as the thin clapper boy in the song Jaane Kya Ho Jaaye Jab Dil Se Dil Takraaye," Kamal Haasan says with a laugh.

Kamal Haasan played himself in Balachander's Paarthale Paravasam, starring Madhavan. Recalls the actor, "When Balachandersaab visited me on the sets of Abhay in Chennai, everyone in my crew was agog. Why had the master come to the pupil? The minute he asked me to make a guest appearance in his hundredth film, I said yes. How could I not be part of such a historic event in the life of a person who means so much to me?"

"It was a very comic sequence where in a public gathering my toupee flies off," he adds.

The actor becomes sentimental about his mentor, with whom he has done 35 movies. "The best roles and opportunities in my career came from Balachandersaab," he says.
