SABeTV comes face to face with cinema legend Kamal Haasan
Talented actor Kamal Haasan breaks his silence on his latest film Abhay in an interview with Sabe TV on Wednesday.
The interview, that airs at 10.30 pm on Diwali, has Haasan talking about his life and experiences during the making of Abhay. The prodigiously talented actor, who has earlier played a dwarf, an old lady and a geriatric freedom fighter in various films, portrays the dual roles of twins in Abhay.
Major Vijay is a commando who kills in the line of duty, while his twin Abhay is psychotic who kills because he gets a kick out of it. The flick is a concoction of adventure, romance and action. Over the course of his career, Haasan has blazed a trail that few can emulate. His cross dressing prtrayal in Chachi 420 kept audiences in splits. Abhay has already generated huge interest in the film industry.
Some of Kamal Haasan's notable films include Pushpak, a silent comedy and Appu Raja, where he played a dwarf. In the course of the interview entitled Padmashree Kamal Haasan, the actor calls himself a student of cinema and concerns himself with all three aspects of film: writing, acting and directing. He does not dwell too much on the critical acclaim showered on him as also on the awards he has won, which include three National Awards.
On SABe, the actor also talks about his family, where it seems acting runs in the blood.
