Kamal Haasan Instagram – Reposted from @rkfioffl I was not ready for this and tried to get myself out of it , but he was very convinced that it was me who should sing that song and pumped that confidence into me. I did not know what he had in his mind about the background score. I still had only margazhii in mind but he had added drums and made it modern and this was the only song that would fit into that mood. He came out of prasad studio, retied his dothi and added on a very excited and positive note that this is going to be a sure shot HIT! That is the magic not many people can create. I ,Mr.Panchu ,Mr.Illiaraja Mr.Singeetham – all of us were able to create this because we were a community. Technique alone does not make a film. Democracy ,love and endeavour to make a project work was what we believed in .Mr.Panchu kept away initially ,he was unhappy that we did not involve him on any of the discussions because he was a writer himself but he understood it was not his style and that I was going towards another direction . Another very interesting story was Nagesh saw a shot of what we shot of Ms.S.N.Lakshmi and literally fought to play that role also. His point in argument was that if I could play 4 roles, so could he. He wanted me to remove her and give him that part also and Ms.S.N Lakshmi was aware of this too. He brought it up during Avvai Shanmugi and reminded me how he wanted to play the old woman and now I was doing it. Moorthy sir was another person who elevated his role as the suspicious stupid father adding his own quirks to it and making it so memorable. #KHspeaks #InHone #KaHa #30yearsofMMKR
