Shankar keen on directing Kamal Hassan

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,December 24 2011]

If the grapevine in Chennai is to be believed, Shankar may soon direct Kamal Hassan. (Soon may mean more than a year). The thing is that Linguswamy of Run and Bheema fame and the celebrated director, Shankar, have both narrated a story to Kamal. The actor has liked the story, is what some sections are saying. We hear the directors are keen to cast Kamal Haasan as their hero in this venture.

The project is touted to be in its initial stages. Lingusamy and Shankar had come together recently for the former's film 'Vettai's music release event. It is reported that Shankar has written a script. Director Lingusamy who came across this script seems to have liked it, according to reports, and has also got the green signal to direct the same.

Now both the directors' unanimous choice happens to be to book Kamal Haasan for the lead role, but the Universal Hero is busy with his upcoming magnum opus 'Viswaroopam.' Once this film is wrapped up the actor will set some time aside to hear the directors' out before deciding on his availability for this project, sources reveal.

Now if this materializes, the movie buffs of Tamil Nadu will get to experience one brilliant film, what with Lingusamy's fast-paced story telling, Shankar's elegance and as the icing on the cake Kamal's classic act! Watch this space for more.
