Kamal Haasan in action film

Hyderabad: Usually, the directors narrate stories to actors, but with director Teja and Kamal Haasan, it is the other way around.

The story for their new film that starts in December, went from Kamal to Teja. “Kamal Haasan has created and enacted many characters exceedingly well. I can’t create any new character for him, so I requested him to come up his own story for the film,” says Teja. The actor had a few subjects in his mind which he shared with Teja, and then the story was finalised. Teja wanted an action film like Nayakudu and Khaidi Veta, so Kamal Haasan came up with an action story. Interestingly, the screenplay for this film is also being overseen by Kamal Haasan himself. director Teja is writing the film’s dialogues.
