Kamal,
present at the event were donors and others
concerned with the project. The project’s
aim is to raise money for a 100 free heart
surgeries for poor children. Malayalam Manorama
said that they would like to raise funds
for another 25 free paediatric heart surgeries.
As the evening drew to a close, people began
to ask Kamal about Dasavatharam, Kamal replied
with amusement that everywhere he went he
was unfailingly asked about the movie, and
his answer has always remained the same:
that he can’t reveal anything yet.
But this evening all that changes, he said
suddenly, surprising everyone there. The
film will be released in April, he added,
and the audio in March. He went on to praise
the work of young music composer Himesh
Reshammiya. Here is a North Indian, pointed
out Kamal, who has composed music that beautifully
and perfectly evokes all that is South Indian.
Especially period music and songs that evoke
12th century South India.
Someone else asked him about a proposed
project with Walt Disney. The usually taciturn
Kamal Haasan admitted that talks were on
to get the Walt Disney project off the ground.
Kamal opening up over Dasavatharam, long
kept under strict wraps, is indeed great
news for fans. From now on, we can hopefully
expect Kamal to reveal more.
