Tamil
director
RC
Sakthi
is
touched
by
his
old
friend
actor-filmmaker
Kamal
Hassan's
gesture
to
pen
the
lyrics
as
well
as
croon
the
title
track
of
his
upcoming
Tamil
short
film
Ainthu
Rojakkal
despite
his
busy
schedule.
"I
believe
Kamal
is
a
great
friend
first
and
then
an
actor.
I
was
touched
by
his
friendly
gesture
to
pen
the
lyrics
of
the
title
track
of
my
upcoming
short
film.
He
even
agreed
to
sing
the
song
when
he
recently
paid
us
a
visit
on
the
sets," Sakthi
told
IANS.
Sakthi
predicted
the
rise
of
Hassan
many
years
ago
in
the
industry
and
since
then
they
have
been
good
friends."We
have
always
remained
good
friends.
He
keeps
telling
me
that
it's
I
who
inspired
him
to
take
up
screenwriting
and
direction.
I'm
moved
because
he
is
a
superstar
now
and
yet
he
expressed
interest
to
contribute
to
my
film,"
he
added.
Kamal
was
supposed
to
make
his
debut
as
a
lead
hero
in
Sakthi-directed
Tamil
drama
Unarchigal,
which
was
started
in
1972
but
eventually
released
only
in
1976.
The
45-minute
Short
film
Ainthu
Rojakkal
features
the
grandchildren
of
Sakthi
in
the
lead.
The
film,
which
also
features
actresses
Sathya
Priya
and
Shobana,
is
about
how
social
evils
have
affected
the
children
of
today.
Sakthi
has
also
directed
films
such
as
Naam,
Dharma
Yuddham
and
Thavam.
