Kamal to direct a short film

“The seeds we sow will only be beneficial to the next generation,” Kamal pondered philosophically quoting the Late Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji from Devar Magan. Kamal convened a press meet to announce the production of 30 short films, by selected candidates of his recently held Screenwriter’s workshop in Chennai. The event, held at Prasad Labs, was chaired by the French scriptwriter Jean Claude Carriere who arrived in Chennai for the workshop.

The short films will be funded by Prasad Labs and Chennai will be the central theme. Kamal revealed that he will also direct a movie, further adding that these films could also be silent ones. “Who knows tomorrow may be 1000 Jayakanthans or even Kamal Haasans could emerge out of this venture,” Kamal mentioned as a signing off note to the Behindwoods correspondent.
