Kamal on why he declined Quick Gun Murugan

Kamal Haasan revealed that he was initially offered the lead role in Quick Gun Murugan, but he declined the same as it was not a novel concept in South India. The actor said that though some scripts are good or excellent they simply do not translate into a movie due to poor market demands. Kamal said that he regrets such situations as he could not make films that are close to his heart.

He was quoted as saying, “I would rate that as one of the biggest regrets of my life. Over the years, I have liked many scripts but they just couldn’t materialize into films. I feel sad that many times I couldn’t do films due to market demands; there were scripts begging to be made. I think not doing those good scripts amounts to infanticide.”
