DID YOU KNOW KAMAL HAASAN HAD CHOREOGRAPHED FOR JAYALALITHAA?
Home > Tamil Movies > Tamil Cinema NewsTamil cinema is full of interesting tidbits and one such concerns Kamal Haasan and Jayalalithaa. Entertainment journalist KV Vasudevan recalls a time spent with director Muktha Srinivasan when the latter had told him tidbits concerning his film Suryakanthi, which starred Muthuraman and Jayalalithaa in the lead.
“The story goes that Jayalalithaa was unhappy with her costumes for the song ‘O Meri Dilruba’ and insisted that it be re-shot. However, regular choreographer Thangappan wasn’t available for the re-shoot meaning Kamal Haasan, his assistant took over,” says Vasudevan as narrated to him by the director, adding it was quite a feat since retakes were frowned upon, considering the expenses involved.
Suryakanthi turned out to be blockbuster, earning praises for Jayalalithaa’s stellar performance.
As far as Kamal Haasan is concerned, he has not only started his political journey with his party, Makkal Needhi Maiam but is also filming the eagerly awaited, Indian 2, which has been temporarily docked, owing to the lockdown.
