Revealed! - Kamal Haasan gets busy with Marmayogi Snippets by ANUPAMA SUBRAMANIAN Deccan Chronicle
W ith Dasavatharam all set to hit theatres on June 13, Kamal Haasan has already occupied himself with his directorial venture Marmayogi. The film shares its title with a popular yesteryear film starring the legendary MGR, which was released in 1951. Set in the seventh century, the film’s theme of vendetta revolves around a war between two dynasties which leaves a sole survivor — a child from one of the clans.. Kamal’s character resuces the child and grooms him into a brave man, imparting his wisdom to him. How the young man revives the past glory of his lost kingdom forms the crux of the story. Kamal has managed to cast Hema Malini in an important role, which has shades of grey. The actor who seems ever-ready to experiment, will employ a new top-of-the-line camera called Red, which has never before been used by any filmmaker in India. The equipment is said to give a high 5K resolution. Previously, director Shankar had used only a 4K resolution for his earlier film Sivaji.
