Kamal Haasan starts shooting for Vikram, says 'Felt like a high school reunion'

A few days ago, it was announced that Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil will be seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram. Now, the shooting of the film has kickstarted, and Haasan took to Twitter to inform his fans about it.

He tweeted, “Day one of VIKRAM. Felt like a High school reunion. In the past 50 years this is the longest I have been away from film shootings. Many film makers have not seen action for nearly a year.”


In another tweet, he wrote, “I welcome all my comrades from all echelons back to work at RKFI. Especially Mr.Lokesh and his enthusiastic team and my talented brothers, Mr.Vijay Sethupathi and Mr. Fahadh Faasil. @RKFI @Dir_Lokesh @VijaySethuOffl.”

Vikram is produced by Kamaal Haasan and R. Mahendran, and the music of the film will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander. In the video shared by Haasan, the background score surely grabs our attention.

A few days ago, while sharing the first look poster, Haasan had tweeted, “’Only valour should wear the crown’ I dare again to render before you the best of our talents. Like before, grant us victory!! Vikram ....விக்ரம் #Arambichitom @RKFI @Dir_Lokesh @VijaySethuOffl #FahadFaasil @anirudhofficial.”

Talking about other films of Kamal Haasan, the actor will be seen in Shankar’s Indian 2 which also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth, and Rakul Preet Singh.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
