‘Once
actors
become
senior,
they
may
become
repetitive
and
boring
for
the
audience.
Kamal
sir
is
updated.’
What
makes
Kamal
Haasan
such
a
towering
personality?
The
legendary
movie
star
remains
modest
as
he
answers
at
the
trailer
launch
of
his
new
film
Hindustani
2:
Zero
Tolerance:
“You
are
talking
about
a
big
personality.
You
are
not
the
man
who
has
seen
my
image
in
my
toilet.
I
have.
He
is
not
a
big
man.
He
is
yet
to
become
a
big
man.”
Kamal
Haasan
returns
as
Senapathy
to
eradicate
corruption
once
again.
So
how
old
is
Senapathy
exactly?
“I
don’t
know,
it
could
be
140.
I
would
like
to
act
even
when
I
am
130,”
he
says.
Kamal
Haasan,
who
has
done
so
many
films
over
the
years,
confides
that
he
cannot
do
the
same
scene
in
the
same
way
in
the
second
take.
He
also
doesn’t
remember
the
dialogues
of
his
films.

Kamal
Haasan
thanks
his
audience
for
making
him
an
Indian
Siddharth
stars
in

awe
of
his
director
Shankar,
who
had
launched
him
in
the
hit
film,
Boys.

What
Siddharth
loves
about
his
two
mentors.
The
surprise
guest
who
arrived
for

launch
was
Jawan
Director
Atlee,
who
worked
with
Shankar
for
six
years
before
he
became
an
independent
director.
Watch:
Atlee
calls
Kamal
Haasan
the…
Why
does
corruption
still
exist
in
our
country?
Kamal
Haasan
tries
to
give
his
reasons:
“It
is
us.
The
politicians
are
none
other
than
one
of
the
populates.
We
are
all
responsible
for
corruption
and
we
must
all
change
our
mind
and
the
best
time
to
change
our
mind
is
during
elections.
These
are
just
reminders
of
how
corrupt
we
have
become.”

Speaking
about
working
with
Kamal
Haasan
in
1996’s
Hindustani
and
the
latest
film,
Director
Shankar
says
the
main
change
he
see
in
the
actor
is
“his
experience
and
his
updated
acting”.
“Once
actors
become
senior,
they
may
become
repetitive
and
boring
for
the
audience.
Kamal
sir
is
updated,”
he
says.
Haasan
adds
his
observations
about
Shankar
over
the
years:
“The
Mr
Shankar
I
saw
28
years
ago
as
confident
as
he
is
today.
I
was
not
willing
to
do
the
film
as
I
had
another
script
to
work
with
Sivajisaab
(Ganesan)
but
he
never
budged.
Then
I
raised
my
money.
The
producer
agreed
because
the
director
said,
‘If
I
make
Hindustani,
I
will
make
it
with
this
gentleman
only.’
“He
was
confident
like
a
very
savvy
and
seasoned
director.”
Watch:
Here’s
what
Siddharth
learnt
from
Kamal
Haasan
and
Shankar.
Then
Shankar
delivers
a
surprise,
saying
Hindustani
3
is
ready.
“The
first
Hindustani
revolved
around
one
state,
Tamil
Nadu.
It
was
three
hours
20
minutes
long.
When
I
was
making
Part
Two,
the
initial
idea
was
to
make
just
one
part.
But
the
story
spreads
to
all
over
the
country,
so
naturally
it
became
long.
“When
I
was
editing,
I
felt
that
all
the
scenes
had
come
out
very
well.
Now,
if
for
the
sake
of
compressing,
I
cut
the
scenes,
the
soul
of
the
scenes
will
be
lost.
There
are
two
parts
of
the
story
and
each
part
had
a
start,
body
and
climax.
It
evolved
automatically,
so
we
decided
to
make
that
the
third
part.”

Kamal
Haasan
tells
us
what
it’s
like
working
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
