Bharathiraja on Tamil Films and Politics
Veteran director Bharathiraja who set a new trend in tamil cinema by his film 16 VAYADHINElLE has completed the shooting of the film BOMMALATTAM. The director who has been in the film industry for more than 3 decades has contributed quality films. BOMMALATAM is his 39 th film.
This bilingual film In Hindi and Tamil has Nana Patekar in the lead role. Arjun is also acting in significant role in this film. BOMMALATTAM is a story of a film director and this film was supposed to be made in Hindi only. Hence Nana Patekar was chosen to do the lead role. Himesh was fixed to compose music. All these took place in the month of March. Then it was decided to make this film in TAMIL. Now the shooting has been completed and post production work is going on. Nana Patekar is a very dedicated and intellectual actor. Initially he was reluctant to act in the Tamil version but finally agreed. His level of dedication was so much that he spoke the Tamil dialogues in his own voice which made Bharathiraja so cheerful.
Bharathiraja was all praise for Arjun for his excellent performance and both have excelled in their performance. Infact the director has shown this film to Director K.Balachandar and Kamal Hassan who also appreciated Bharathirja.
His next venture will be a high budget subject KUTRAI PARAMBARAI. Bharathiraja has no interest to join politics as he had decided in his early days after the defeat of KAMARAJ in Virudunagar. He is fully content with his cinema life.
