Kamal plays it tough

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,March 21 2005]

Kamal Haasan is known for talking tough, and more importantly, talking straight .

A plain and an out-spoken man, the actor is known for sticking to his decisions once made.

So is the case with his forthcoming movie Mumbai Xpress.

Kamal on Sunday said that he would not change the title of the movie Mumbai Xpress and dismissed reports that it would not grace theatres on 14 April.

Though members of Tamil Protection Movement expressed their ire over the film's title, the actor made it clear that he would give in.

Speaking at a felicitation function organized by his fans welfare association at his Alwarpet office on him being conferred the honorary doctorate by Sathyabhama Deemed University recently, Kamal said, "there is no way I am going to change the title".

Explaining his difficulties in going for a name change, Kamal said, the title was decided long time back and several scenes have been shot keeping the title in mind. Changing the title at this moment will lead to confusions in marketing the movie.

Kamal said Mumbai Xpress would be released all over the country as scheduled on 14 April.

The audio release is planned for next week.
