MarmaYogi: next movie mystery solved?
Almost all has been quiet on the Kamal front of late. Of course, that means that something is brewing. The mystery was finally resolved through reliable sources. Kamal’s next movie will be Marma Yogi (”mysterious saint”, shall we say?), directed and produced by himself. With a curious title, the surprises are that it’s supposed to be an action thriller — and I thought Kamal would direct only ’serious’ movies (Hey Ram, Virumaandi) — and that the music will be done by AR Rahman. Talks are on to rope in a Bollywood heroine, as the movie will be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Oscar Ravichandran, UTV and Adlabs are all in talks related to production and distribution. The movie might be launched in January. We can see that the domain name is already registered and it mentions Raaj Kamal Films International, Kamal’s production house.
Marma Yogi is also an old MGR flick, known as the first Tamil movie to receive an ‘A’ certification. Kamal’s penchant for old titles (Apoorva Sagodharargal, Sathi Leelavathi, etc.) continues.
Junior Vikatan, the Tamil weekly and the Chennai edition of Deccan Chronicle too sniffed out portions of this news recently. After several rumours and announcements regarding Kamal’s next movie earlier, let’s hope this is the final one.
Thank you, readers / fans!

Well, this is something. The title is mysterious. Kamal, to my mind, is one of the best directors from Mainstream Indian cinema. Now, Kamal “the scriptwriter” is the best from Tamil cinema hands down (no debate here). Add to it, the actor who is the finest there is, in Indian cinema. So, we got ourselves a potential masterpiece on its way.

Sify reaffirms about “Marmayogi”. A.R.Rahman is touted to score the music.
Similar (or same) article from Hindu with a more recent pic.

MarmaYogi is the tamil rendition of Val Kilmer’s The Saint. the
difference is He dons the names and guises of Indian sages to
do justice in the world.
Just imagine anniyan meets raja rishi.Thats how he does it, but
with a difference, instead of killing the corrupt he makes his
killings as Gods wrath on the injustice. But in the end, There
will actually be a Real gods Miracle that will save the people.
This is the last climax of the picture. Its still in the infant
stage of pre-production.

for the first time kamal as a director joins the maestro ar rahman. The film will definately get a huge success. Dasavataram misses rahman in background score.
