The good news is here at last. After much delay and dillydallying, Kamal Haasan will start shooting for his magnum opus 'Viswaroopam' from today. Besides playing the lead role, he will wield the megaphone too.

As we reported already, Ansuhka has been roped in by Kamal to play the female lead. "However, it is unsure for Anushka to attend the shoot today, as she is busy with other commitments. Scenes on Kamal will be shot today," say sources.

"Kamal has decided to make Viswaroopam a grand venture in all aspects. It will be a rich movie in content, making and budget. The film will be simultanesouly made in Tamil, Telugu and Hind," sources in the know add.

"Anushka was very happy when she was approached by Kamal. Though her dates are full for the next few months, she made some adjustments considering the importance of the film," sources say, adding: "A grand set has been erected on the Old Mahabalipuram Road for the movie."
