Kamal Haasan: 'Talent' over 'Stars'

9th June 2012

Kamal Haasan's new movie 'Vishwaroopam' talks about young actors and actresses who are not stars but who have talent.

Kamal Haasan plays the lead role and it also features Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Jaideep Ahlawat and Rahul Bose in the other roles. The movie is being made in Telugu (Vishwaroopam) and Hindi (Vishwaroop) as well.

"Casting Jaydeep, Andrea and Pooja was easy as I was looking for talent and I found it in them" Kamal said when a few clips from the movie were screened at the IIFA 2012 Awards in Singapore.

Earlier, Deepika Padukone was also asked to be a part of the film, but due to her busy schedule, she couldn't make it.

Kamal stated that his trick to appeal the audience is to be a part of the project. "Audiences are something that we are scared of. We are so paranoid of audiences that we forget to realise that we filmmakers are also one of them." he said. "I have a philosophy with which I make films, it may not be best or may not be followed by others. I take the best from my audiences and I consider myself one of them and make films" he added further.

The release date of the film, which has a special appearance by Shekhar Kapur, is yet to be decided.
