Ten on Ten

It’s been long,nine years exactly,since Haasan had made an appearance in a Hindi film. “It’s just that I didn’t get the right project for a long time in the Hindi film industry. I have been keeping busy also,” says the actor,sharply denouncing the term ‘Bollywood’. “It’s very artificial. It’s like calling Calcutta,California,” he offers. However,there are plans on to do a Hindi film some time soon. “The script is almost done. We’ll start with the casting in some time too,” says Haasan.

In the meantime,a Tamil and a Telugu remake of Neeraj Pandey’s A Wednesday,will be keeping him busy. “The film is a rhetoric. At the end of the day,you endorse rhetoric of different sorts in whatever you do in life. Like when you vote,you are voting for a rhetoric…,” he explains. While he would play the lead in one version,southern superstar Mohanlal will replace him in the other.

Corporatisation of the film industry,feels Haasan is something that might go horribly go wrong if the right people don’t call the shots. “It’s a good thing in several ways. But then when a corporate house gets involved in a film,it should know cinema like it knows its business,” he says,“I just wish there was a little more clarity in the corporate-film liaisons happening these days.”
