Finally, the confirmation comes from the horse’s mouth itself! On the sidelines of the FICCI FRAMES convention, Kamal affirmed that media reports were indeed true. The name of the remake is not really out though. The movie will feature Mohanlal while being directed by newcomer Chakri.
Chakri is the person who starred with Kamal in Dasavathaaram as Sairam (’Shit’ Ram!) and eons ago as the little boy assisting the photographer in Saagara Sangamam (Salangai Oli).
Prabhu’s daughter Aishwarya got married to her cousin Kunal, both grandchildren of the late Sivaji Ganesan. Kamal’s proximity to the family is known and he was present in the festivities.
While Gautami and the children attended both the reception and the wedding ceremony, Kamal was there only for the latter. Check out more photos on Sify.com, Behindwoods and IndiaGlitz and read reports on Behindwoods,Dinathanthi and Thatstamil. As usual, Kamal was seen sitting alongside Rajnikanth.
The mutual admiration society of Nagesh and Kamal is well-known. Over the past two decades, Kamal consistently included him in his movies, with a wide range of characters from the chief villain in Apoorva Sagodharargal to a dead body in Magalir Mattum. Nagesh won possibly his only National Award for Nammavar. Rightfully, his last movie was Dasavathaaram.
