The movie is being planned as a tri-lingual
Kamal Haasan
The industry grapevine has it that actor Kamal Haasan may reprise Mohanlal’s role in Gadha, the upcoming movie directed by Shaji N Karun. The movie is being planned as a tri-lingual in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu. Rumours are abuzz that the director had to shelve this project and move on to his next, as Mohanlal backed out because of financial issues. A little birdie tells us that the production banner failed to pay Mohanlal’s asking fee and tried to negotiate. But the actor was not willing to compromise on his payment. Shaji had directed Mohanlal in Vaanaprastham, which made him win the National Award for the best actor.
Reportedly, Kamal recently came across the script and was highly impressed by it. Now, it’s a question of time for him to take up the movie. So, it looks like Gadha is very much back on the track and will start rolling within a few months. The movie, which is said to be based on the premise of dance and theatre art, is based on a short story titled Kadal, written by T Padmanabhan. There were also reports some time ago that the Polish musician Zbigniew Preisner would compose the background score for the movie.
