Why is Kamal Haasan playing the lead in 'PK' remake?
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,February 09 2015]
Aamir Khan's 'PK' created records not only regarding the collections, but also regarding the number of controversies. This movie is regarded as one of the biggest hits released off late and has received the appreciation of the people and critics, though some have lashed out at it.
Now this film is going to be remade in Telugu and Tamil. Gemini Film Circuit, which earlier produced films like 'Shankar Dada M.B.B.S', 'Snehitudu' ('Nanban') etc bought the remake rights and Kamal Haasan has given his nod to play the lead according to the sources. It is not confirmed whether he will also play the lead in Telugu version or some other hero will play it.
Kamal Haasan is known as an atheist and often questions against religious practices and hypocrisy. 'PK' also questions against some practices, rituals and fake god men. So Kamal might have accepted the lead role in 'PK' remake to point out his doubts in the religious system. It is to be seen whether any changes will be made in the film according to to the Tamil and Telugu nativities.
Kamal will definitely do justice to the role, if he plays the lead. But do you think it is a good idea to remake a film, which is such a big hit?
