His eye for getting the best from his cast and crew makes a decent cut in the quality of his product. Abhirami who played a memorable ‘Annalakshmi’ in Virumaandi has lent her voice for, Pooja Kumar in, ‘Vishwaroopam 2′. Kamal wanted to carry the same form for ‘Uthama Villain’ too.

Details about Dialgoue for ‘Uttama Villain’

Initially, it was believed that ace theatre personality cum dialogue writer Crazy Mohan will be joining hands with ‘Ulaganayagan’ Kamal Haasan after a long time for ‘Uttama Villain’ for penning the dialogues. However, it was ruled out at the early stages of shooting and it was made clear that Kamal Haasan himself will be penning the dialogues apart from the story and screenplay.

Perhaps to clarify things further, the film’s director Ramesh Aravind has on board confirmed that Kamal has penned the dialogues for the film. However, he has also said that Crazy Mohan has taken part in the discussion and his inputs were parts of the film. Ramesh justified Kamal’s decision to pen the dialogues himself, saying that the film involves a huge spectacle apart from the humor.

Having worked with the veteran star for quite a few months as a director and having completed the shoot of the film is as exciting as every film industry person would have been for having worked with the Padma Bhushan actor. He is equally in awe of Kamal’s dialogue writing skills. The film includes segments happening in the eight century and Ramesh says Kamal has written the dialogues for these portions in the style of ‘Sidhar Padalgal’ and the Tamil words he has used for them are unbelievable.

‘Uttama Villain’ reportedly stars Kamal Haasan in dual roles with a stellar cast of Pooja Kumar, Andrea, Parvathy, Parvathy Nair, Oorvashi, Jayaram, Nasser and many others. The film’s music has been scored Ghibran while the film has been produced by N.Lingusamy under Thirrupathi Brothers banner. The film is currently in post production stage.

Model addition to Kamal’s ‘Uttama Villain’

Parvathy Nair, who was Ms Karnataka is to play a pivotal role in Kamal Haasan’s ‘Uttama Villain’. Sources say she will be playing the love of Kamal Haasan’s son in the film. When asked how she came to be a part of the film, Parvathy recounted a unique tale.

“My pictures were sent to the ‘Uttama Villain’ team by someone whom I didn’t know. I was shooting for an ad in the place where ‘Uttama Villain’ was also being filmed. Somebody phoned and called me for an audition. I was told by the ADs that many actresses had tried for my role. I was pleased to learn that I was chosen after Kamal Haasan saw many other artistes. To me, being selected for the role in itself is a great achievement. And I have heard that Kamal Haasan is choosy about his cast.” She met Gauthami thereafter to choose her outfits and, “That’s when I got to know that I made it. Everything still looks surreal,” added Parvathy Nair.

“While shooting, Kamal Haasan always explained the idea behind every scene. I had the liberty to perform in my own way and I could also improvise when I delivered dialogues. That space to explore mattered a lot to me,” she said, when asked about her experience on set.

'Uttama Villain' is humourous & emotional says Kamal

Kamal Haasan is done with the shoot of his next release, Uttama Villain.  Ramesh Aravind is busy with the post-production of the movie.

Recently, Kamal opened up about Uttama Villain and talked about his character and the movie. He said, “Uttama Villain is a movie which will be both emotional and humorous in the likes of Veteran actor Nagesh’s Server Sundaram, Neer Kumizhi etc”.

In fact, Kamal kept the title “Bitter Chocolate” for the movie first. Since English titles are not eligible for Entertainment Tax exemption, he changed the title to Uttama Villain. He says Villain is not an English word – more a word play on the Tamil word – Arrow – One who is an expert in Bow and Arrow.

Kamal also brings Theyyam from Kerala and has mixed with Villu Paatu – a Tamil tradition in the movie for the first time. Uttama Villain is expected to release early next year.

Kamal reveals ‘Uthama Villain’s plot

Kamal had celebrated his 60th birthday last week with his fans and involved himself in the Swach Bharat campaign to clean the Madambakkam lake. A popular weekly has met Ulaganayagan and questioned his strategy to be a part of multiple films at the same time and triggered what’s ‘Uthama Villain’ is all about?

“Uthama Villain will speak the life of a star and I have experimented a lot since the character is a well known territory to me. There’s a term called ‘Double Bill’ to describe two stories in a movie, and I could say ‘UV’ belongs to that genre. I have tried something close to Woody Allen’s ‘Crimes & Misdemeanors’, where the movie will show a trail and an ardent lover of films who tries his best to make a movie. ‘UV’ to feature similar stuff, where the viewer will get to see an emotional side and a comic portion at the same time in two different timelines,” – Says Kamal.
