Marmayogi

Kamal Hassan is starting with Marmayogi as he is finished with the shooting of Dasavatharam. Marmayoghi is the movie, which Kamal is directing and producing, on first copy basis for the corporate Reliance Adlabs. The current buzz in Kollywood is that he has roped in Hema Malini, the ‘Dream Girl’ of Bollywood to play a leading character in his next movie Marma Yogi. Hema Malini is said to have accepted to act in Marmayogi after reading the complete script of Marmayogi.

‘Marmayogi’, Kamal Haasan's next venture would be launched on July 13, exactly a month after the release of ‘Dasavatharam’. Kamal Haasan seems to be eyeing the Hindi market and probably that is the reason the movie is going to be launched at the Grand Hotel in Mumbai.

‘Marmayogi’ is expected to be a historic adventure film with the best of technicians and artistes. Actress Kajol has been approached for a role in the film and A. R. Rahman will be scoring music.

Titled Marmayogi, the movie is said to be produced by renowned Hollywood production house Walt Disney pictures for a whopping budget of Rs. 100 crores – not quite known to Tamil cinema yet. Walt Disney has roped in Bharath Bala of Vande Matharam fame for the production management of Marmayogi.

Earlier, Kamal tantalized his fans with only a teaser trailer of his dream venture Marudanayagam, an epic tale of one of the lesser known freedom fighters. Kamal even screened the trailer to the Queen of England during her Indian visit. However, for reasons ranging from budget to time consuming research, Marudanayagam could not take off and was eventually shelved. Now, Marmayogi, as the names suggests, is expected to have a historical backdrop and has hence raised the bar among his fans.
