Kamal Haasan on Sing Geetham
Ayaan, Ahilya, and Shalini are making their debut on screen with Sing Geetham. The film directed by legendary director Singeetam Srinivasa Rao.
The film is generating immense interest among movie lovers. Now, Kamal Haasan speaking to scribes, shared his thoughts on Sing Geetham. He said “Our first movie happened rather casually when we met in Mumbai. That day we spoke about two films, Pushpaka Vimana and Sing Geetham. I was 20 when we were talking about it. Now, I am 71 and I get to see this movie. Some ideas are ageless, and that is why he is like that. He is full of ideas. And hence age is just a number. Like take two, take three, take four. That is how he treats it.”
Speaking about Pushpaka Vimanam, he said “We were so proud about Pushpaka Vimana, that we shot it in air condition because we shot in a five-star hotel. While others praised us for the movie without dialogues, we were happy that we worked with an AC.” He said Kamal recounted, “I’ll brush my teeth, rehearse. I’ll go have a bath, comb my hair and take one begins. That is how we worked in the film. I still miss those days.”
Speaking about Apoorva Sahodargal,he said “We scrapped the first 20 days of shoot. That would have been a failure for him if we wouldn’t have done that. We stopped it from becoming a failure and the decision was made by the two of us. We had to answer for the money spent on the 20 days’ shoot. But we were not worried because we know that is wrong and we wanted to do something right. Only we know the tension of doing that film because it was the two of us who were responsible. Even Singeetham did not know after three shots how I am going to continue being a dwarf. It came to us after a lot of hair loss.”
About Sing Geetham, he said “For us, one such award is Pushpaka Vimana, and the other is Mumbai Express. Who said it is not a success? Ask us and you will know. That is the spirit one must carry, and this film (Sing Geetham) has it. ”
He continued , “Now he is going one step forward. He is always ahead of Gen Z and I am happy to celebrate a young man like Singeetham. Age is a nuisance but the mind can surpass it and he is a great example. I want to be his assistant director to maintain that state of mind.”
