Kamal Haasan

know- Like you said, you'll probably do well enough to make another one, but does anyone want to make that movie? Well,

it'll have to be Nelson, but Nelson's going to make another movie with Rajinikanth and Kamalahasan.

That's right.

Yeah.

in Indian cinema.

But I also would like, you know, the next thing that Rajnikanth is going to be in is a Kamal Hassan film, Kamal Hassan, another actor in, in, in, I guess he's not Bali.

Well, he's South Indian as well.

So he's kind of a contemporary of Rajnikanth and he's an older actor as well, but yet he's still the lead in things.

I like a good entertainer.

I really liked Kamal Haasan's Vikram.

That was a mass movie that was meant to project Kamal Haasan but it had a story to it.

For me, when you're showing Rajinikanth bashing 16 people down in one incredible go-down set it up for me, make it pay off and I think that for me was there more in Jailer 1 than Jailer 2 because like so Jailer 1 for all the people out there who would have watched it would already know but I'm just saying for the ones who maybe have not watched Jailer 1 but Jailer 1 at least begins again very unassumingly he's like this whatever granddad retired he's somewhere in the middle of like rural Tamil Nadu and he's just chilling with his family You know he's something like he has some weird past but you have no idea what it is.

Until slowly things start unraveling and things start going wrong in his family and suddenly that side slowly starts coming out.

Tamil cinema is mourning composer Deva, who died in Chennai on Saturday at 75, after a cardiac arrest.

Deva composed the intro music that announces Rajnikanth in his films, and Rajnikanth arrived in tears to pay his respects, while Kamal Hassan remembered him as a dear brother.

Rajnikanth's new release, Jailer 2, has crossed Rs 213 crore worldwide in two days, with Rs 40 crore from overseas markets on day two alone.

In cricket, rain delayed the toss in Bengaluru for the fifth and deciding T20 between India and West Indies with the series level at two all.

We had Mr. Bachchan.

We had Kamal Hassan sir.

We had Prabha Sanna.

We had Deepika.

Even celebrities got into it.

I mean, Rahul Gandhi, leader of opposition, told Elon Musk, "We have two oligarchs, not one." I mean, why did he have to do that? Kamal Haasan, leader of I don't know what, and politics is not even his main job, made a comment, a public statement, supposedly saying that, "Oh, Elon Musk, you know, you, we don't like monopolies.

This is India," whatever.

I mean, why? Why did he have to do that? Decently, you could have gone and sat at the protest site, no? Next to Prakash Raj.

Protests were happening somewhere in New Delhi, and then a- an actor sitting in south, in the...

Like Kamal Haasan sitting in south made a very clear statement that we don't accept this type of behavior from any foreign person and this and that, and they made that thing very clearly.

And this is the, this is the key here.

So anybody who is outsider and posting shit on X, you gotta understand that you can never succeed this way.

So

you compare the movement you see here to something like what we were seeing Kamal Hassan do in another film, which I can't remember the name of it right now, but there was an action film where he was doing a lot of athletic, almost acrobatic movement.

Yeah.

And I'm like, well, I know that's not Kamal Hassan.

You know what I mean? And so for me, it's drawing attention to itself in a way that is kind of almost pulling me out because I know he's not doing flips and shit like that.

And so to keep Rajnikanth's movement limited and lean more into his swag and creating more of that mythologized sort of visualization, I'd say, then it gives it more accessibility, I guess.

She's really...

Her and Kamal Hassan were like a really good pair back in the day.

I feel like

maybe I might have seen something old school.

Those who knew him noted that he tended to speak plainly and without much filtering, and that his standing in Indian cinema never appeared to alter how he carried himself day to day.

Messages of remembrance from Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher and others in the film world followed his death.

We'll continue after a short break.
