If
the
latest
hearsay
within
the
Kollywood
circles
takes
shape,
then
movie
buffs
across
India
might
be
in
for
a
grand
treat.
The
buzz?
Veteran
director
Singeetam
Srinivasa
Rao
and
Kamal
Haasan
might
join
hands
after
a
decade.
Yes,
according
to
a
report,
the
Apoorva
Sagodharargal
director
might
once
again
direct
the
Papanasam
star
in
a
low
budget
quickie
once
he
is
done
with
his
current
commitments
in
Telugu.
The
83
year
old
filmmaker
is
working
on
a
Telugu
film
post
which
he
might
work
with
Kamal
Haasan
in
a
project
that
will
most
probably
be
bankrolled
by
Lingusamy's
Thirrupathi
Brothers.
This
move
by
Kamal
Haasan,
is
said
to
be
aimed
at
helping
Thirrupathi
Brothers
recover
their
losses
incurred
through
Uttama
Villain.
It
is
said
that
Kamal
wanted
to
deliver
a
complete
comedy
entertainer
and
who
better
to
approach
than
Srinivasa
Rao,
who
is
known
for
his
humour
infused
films.
The
project
might
go
on
floors
once
the
Ulaganayagan
completes
his
ongoing
project
Thoongavanam.
The
proposed
budget
of
the
film
is
said
to
be
around
25
crore
rupees.
Singeetam
Srinivasa
Rao
and
Kamal
Haasan
have
worked
together
in
7
movies
which
includes
some
of
Kamal's
best.
Check
out
the
slides
below
to
know
about
those
7
flicks:
This
was
Kamal
Haasan's
100th
film
and
his
first
as
a
producer.
Though
the
film
was
a
failure
at
the
box
office,
it
is
widely
considered
as
a
cult
classic.
The
movie
was
released
in
the
year
1981
and
narrates
a
tale
of
a
blind
musician.
Pushpaka
Vimana
This
1987
classic
is
a
silent
film,
completely
depending
on
its
background
score
and
its
performers
to
convey
the
message.
Running
over
100
days,
the
movie
was
a
blockbuster
hit
and
was
also
critically
acclaimed.
It
won
the
National
Film
Award
for
Best
Popular
Film
Providing
Wholesome
Entertainment.
Apoorva
Sagodharargal
Yet
another
classic
and
a
technical
marvel,
Apoorva
Sagodharargal
released
in
the
year
1989.
The
film
was
a
blockbuster
and
completed
600-day
run
at
the
box
office.
It
serves
as
an
example
to
aspiring
filmmakers
even
today.
Michael
Madana
Kama
Rajan
Post
the
tremendous
success
of
Apoorva
Sagodharargal,
Srinivasa
Rao
and
Kamal
decided
to
make
yet
another
comedy
film
the
following
year.
This
too
was
a
major
box
office
hit
and
completed
175-day
run
at
the
box
office.
Magalir
Mattum
Though
Kamal
plays
nothing
more
than
a
cameo
in
this
women
oriented
film,
he
wrote
and
produced
this
comedy
entertainer.
The
movie
has
Revathy,
Urvashi,
Rohini
and
Nasser
in
lead
roles.
Kaathala
Kaathala
This
1998
comedy
film
stars
Kamal
and
Prabhu
Deva
in
lead
roles.
Upon
release,
the
film
opened
to
positive
reviews
and
became
a
commercial
success.
Mumbai
Express
Mumbai
Express
was
the
last
film
in
which
Singeetam
Srinivasa
Rao
directed
Kamal
Haasan.
If
their
new
project
materializes,
then
Kamal
and
the
famed
director
would
be
joining
hands
for
the
eighth
time
to
most
probably
produce
yet
another
memorable
film.
