Kamal hopes to continue K. Balachander’s legacy

Kamal Haasan had recently vowed to carry forward the legacy of the director who scaled the peak, K. Balachander, who died last year. He had been the mentor of the Universal Hero. At a press conference held in Hyderabad, Kamal said, “Whatever I've learnt about films and writing is all from K. Balachander sir. We worked together for 37 films and Uttama Villain was our last film. That is my score as a player in this field. I believe that some people never leave us completely. They leave a certain part of themselves behind and it's through my work that I hope to continue his legacy”.

Kamal Haasan had also unveiled the first look of his upcoming project, Thoonga Vanam in the event. After doing so, the Vishwaroopam star said, “The last time I came to Hyderabad and expressed my desire to act in a Telugu film, no one took me seriously. To be honest, I never promise to do something if I'm not serious about it. I'm going to act in more Telugu films in future under my banner. It was Prakash Raj who further encouraged me to do this film in both Telugu and Tamil. Both of us share a good rapport and we are from the same K Balachander's school. Now that our guru has passed away, I promised Prakash that I'll be like his elder brother”.

Thoonga Vanam is a stylish entertainer, directed by Rajesh M Selva.  Kamal will be seen sharing screen with Trisha Krishnan. Their kissing scene had already created a buzz in Kollywood. The audience is eagerly waiting to watch the duo to romance in the fast paced thriller.
