Guess what's common between Kamal Haasan, Sivakumar and Pandiarajan apart from being actors in Kollywood?

Give up?

Well, it is an intriguing connection. Something that Kollywood doesn't see quite often.

All the three have written books that are to be released shortly.

While Kamal Haasan, who is fond of literature, has come out with a short collection of his poems written on varied subjects from time to time, Sivakumar has completed a book titled Idhu Rajapaatai Alla. It is all about his experiences in the industry with directors, producers, actresses and actors in the last four decades.

Actor-director Pandirajan's book is a compendium of short stories titled Thookam Varadha Podhu Sindhithavai.

Kollywood has not much intellectual pretensions. The books that come out are usually from the poet types.

But now this is really different.
