| The pre-release poster of 'Uthama Villain' |
These are the facts that we now know about Kamal Haasan's new film, 'Uthama Villain'.
1. It is a comedy.
2. Most likely to be directed by Ramesh Arvind, an almost-regular in most comedies that Kamal makes and stars in.
3. M. Ghibran is composing the film's music.
4. Director Linguswamy's production house, Thirrupathi Bros. is co-producing the film, along with Kamal's Raaj Kamal Films.
5. Heroines haven't been announced yet.
Whenever a leading hero announces a film, Asin's (remember her, the annoyingly exuberant one?) name always pops up as possible female lead. This time too, it did. The last time I checked, the names of Pooja Kumar and Andrea were making serious rounds as most-likely heroines. But, as of now, the co-stars haven't been confirmed yet.
The film has already found itself on the receiving end of plagiarism allegations. Some claim the poster was lifted from a Theyyam (a classical dance form of Kerala) photograph taken by Eric Lafforgue ( click here for Lafforgue's FB page, has some very nice pictures), the French photographer.
Click here for the Facebook page that shows both the photographs.
Defenders/worshipers/blind followers of Kamal Haasan are already up in arms defending/explaining the similarities. The day is not far when one of them would claim that the poster came first...
This one has a lot of copycat posters/stills/concepts too. Nice collection.
BTW, what happened to 'Vishwaroopam 2'? 'Adhu thaan idhu?'
