Kamal Hasaan to make Bollywood debut with ‘Amar Hai’

Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan is all set to make his Bollywood comeback as a director and actor with political drama ‘Amar Hai’. Saif Ali Khan has been approached for the role. Penned by Kamal, ‘Amar Hai’ revolves around political intrigue, finance and underworld.

The action thriller will be produce by Virendra K Arora and Arjun N Kapoor. "Amar Hai is special to us in many ways. One, it is a much-awaited Hindi film starring Kamal Haasan. Two, the film will see Kamal Haasan wearing multiple hats, that of an actor and a director, and on a story penned by him. And three, right from the time of scripting this film some six years back, Kamal Haasan has had Saif Ali Khan in mind for the lead role. Khan is aware of his involvement in the mega project", the makers said in a statement.

Talking about his role, Kamal said, "My character, though not that of a conventional antagonist, would present a point of view that is far from ordinary". Kamal Haasan is currently shooting for Tamil thriller ‘Thoongaavanam’ and is awaiting the release of another thriller ‘Papanasam’.
