Kamal Hassan had an exclusive tete-e-tete with the Internet media on the eve of the audio release of his new film Unnaipol Oruvan at a five star hotel in Chennai.
The actor was in his elements, being extremely friendly with his humour sense taking the front seat.
After briefly introducing his daughter Sruthi Hassan the music director of Unnaipol Oruvan, Kamal was all set to answer the questions posted by the Internet media. He said: “For you people, it might be a remake of A Wednesday but for me, it is Unnnaipol Oruvan. Only small changes have been made to the original”.
Sruthi said that she does not intend to talk as her audio will speak for itself. There are five songs in the audio though only two songs will be there in the film as background score and they are the soul of the film.
“My dad was clear what he wanted and hence, it was easy for me to work with him. Blazee has written Tamil lyrics for the first time along with Dad and Manushiaputran. Dad has also sung a song in the album”.
About Mohanlal, his co-actor in the film, Kamal said: “ I got him to do the role as he is a star and an actor par excellence. He is a natural actor, does his work quietly without making a hue and cry about it and that’s his USP”
On his 50 years in cinema Kamal said in a lighter vein: “ Even if I did very few films in 50 years or didn’t do any films at all, it would have been 50 years since I came into films. So the credit of my 50 years in cinema should go to my producers, director and above all people who accepted me as an actor”.
He also added that songs were incorporated in the Tamil version of the film as songs are an integral part of Tamil culture and cinema for a very long time. He also shot back at a journo who asked him if Sruthi is a good music director: “Then why do you think, I spend so much money and send her abroad to study music?
He also said that Politics is boring for him and he is a performer and will be here to entertain us with more number of films and releases at regular intervals in future. The actor patiently gave sound bytes to each and every Internet site and left the venue with a smile on his face.
