Grateful to Mohanlal for recommending me: Kamal Haasan
Chennai, July 9
Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan
says he's grateful to Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, who is said to have
recommended the former for the Tamil remake of Malayalam blockbuster
"Drishyam".
"I heard it from somebody that Mohanlal wished to see
me star in the remake of 'Drishyam'. He felt I'd do justice to the film
and recommended by name. I'm thankful to him for that because rarely do
stars like me get to work in such lovely films," Haasan told IANS.
Kamal reprised Mohanlal's role in recently released "Papanasam", the Tamil remake of "Drishyam".
Jeethu Joseph, who helmed the original, also directed "Papanasam".
About
a father's plight to cover a murder committed by his family, the film
also stars Gautami, Nivetha Thomas, Ananth Mahadevan and Asha Sharath in
important roles.
The film has already been remade in Telugu and
Kannada, while the Hindi version titled "Drishyam" starring Ajay Devgn
will release on July 31.
