Marudhanayakam to be revived?
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,May 18 2005]
Every now and then Kamal is asked about his Marudhanayakam.
A film that was started with happy memories but one that has be bitterly stopped midway.
Kamal Haasan began his dream project Marudhanayakam about a few years ago in a grand manner in which Queen Elizabeth of England took part.
A movie set in on pre-Independence era, Marudhanayakam, was Kamal Haasan's cherished movie, which the actor said would win international acclaim.
Unfortunately Marudhanayakam was shelved for it needed more money to go ahead and complete it in a grand manner (the Pokhran nuclear bom blast and the subsequent moratorium from international funding put paid to Kamal's hopes).
Now, after a long gap, talks are on to revive the project.
Kamal Haasan, who took part in a meeting organized by Cosmopolitan Club in Chennai Monday, said, "had I completed Marudhanayakam when I began it few years ago, I would have released it much before Lagaan and Crouching Tiger.
My movie would have won all the acclaim. Any way, I have no regrets. Now with various corporate firms expressing desire to get themselves associated with Marudhanayakam, I am hopeful of reviving the project very soon".
Very soon my Marudhanayakam may go to floors, Kamal said.
Hope springs eternal, as they say.
