Now that ‘Ulaganayagan’ Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam has finally hit the screens in Tamil Nadu and has been declared a super hit, some shocking revelations are coming through. Speaking strictly on condition of anonymity, sources close to Kamal say that the threat meted out by the star was a ‘calculated one’ and which was going to become a reality in future.
The ‘Moving out of Tamil Nadu’ threat was meant mainly to ‘prepare’ the fans and the people to be ready for the eventuality wherein Kamal would have to be away from the state/country for at least the next 2-3 years as he is all set to commence his first-ever Hollywood venture shortly. By meting out the threat, Kamal was only conveying (albeit indirectly) that he would invariably be out of the country for a long time, it is pointed out.
The Hollywood venture is likely to make Kamal stay in U.S. for a longer period as unlike the practice in Kollywood or Bollywood, Hollywood films take too long time to complete. The pre-production work, shooting schedule, the post-production work, publicity and the process of promoting the film, etc. are expected to keep Kamal busy at least for the next two years from now.
Kamal has ‘brilliantly’ prepared the ground (for a longer stay abroad) during the pre-release crisis which resulted in the delayed release of Vishwaroopam in Tamil Nadu. It is also said that in order to make his stay in U.S. a peaceful one, he went over the board in depicting U.S. as a peace-loving country in the script of Vishwaroopam and this explains the ‘theme’ of an Indian spy going out of the way to save U.S.
Whatever be the case, we shall only be too happy if Kamal’s Hollywood venture bags him the coveted Oscars!
