Kamal speaks to Times of India
Though not a full-blown interview, Kamal shares some thoughts presently in his mind to Times of India. The newspaper tries to sensationalize the piece by referring to his personal life and beliefs. Nevertheless, we’ll see what Kamal has to say, including doing a movie with Shruti.
“Marmayogi will be shot in Hindi as well,” Kamal says. “But I’m doing things at my own pace. I’m one of the few filmmakers in Chennai who takes every Sunday off.”
What would really excite him is a project with Shruti. “Of course, it would be interesting to work with my daughter. But it has to be an apt script. A great father-daughter story would be a perfect casting for us,” he says, hoping somebody will come up with such a script.
“…I am deeply hurt by what is happening around in the name of religion. I personally feel, whenever there is a crisis, God becomes a mere witness. I am happy with my decision,” he explains.

Randramble, you’ve rightly pointed out that they tried to sensationalize the whole issue by bringing in an angle of Kamal’s personal life. Also, if you notice further, the newspaper goes on to say “That apart, the great actor is now into God bashing and publicly denouncing the futility of faith.”
Notice the words “now into God bashing”. Kamal has been an atheist for God knows how long (such lovely usage of irony in this sentence!) and these morons say he is “now” into God bashing??? No wonder it’s called the TOIlet paper of India. And rightly so.

Yes, the article stretches whatever Kamal has actually said (whatver he’s quoted as having said, that is) in the interview to arbitrary extents.
And, “publicly denouncing the futility of faith”? What does that even mean? Duh.
