Local Flavour for Hollywood
Kamal Hassan is considered to be one of the best Indian actors with notable films in several languages,including English,Hindi and Tamil. The multilingual actor is now set to make his Hollywood debut. Barrie Osborne,the producer of Lord of the Rings,The Waterhorse and The Prophet,has signed on the 58-year-old actor.
