Kamal Haasan praises team KottukkaaliWith just a day left for the release of PS Vinothraj’s Kottukkaali, the film received its biggest promotional boost. Kamal Haasan attended a special screening of the film, headlined by Soori and Anna Ben, and the legendary actor-filmmaker was effusive with his praise for Kottukkaali.
Kamal penned a comprehensive three-page letter talking about the various nuances in the film, the themes it explored, the performances of all the cast members, the brave choices of Vinothraj, and Sivakarthikeyan’s decision to back the film.
Here’s the Kottukkaali Trailer:
The letter also explored the importance of audiences understanding and appreciating such films to elevate Tamil cinema to the next level. He emphasised on the runtime of the film, which is just a shade over 100 minutes, and the absence of a background musical score, and felt Kottukkaali has moved on from the era of the song-and-dance in Tamil cinema. Kamal also discussed in detail about the way Vinothraj draws parallels between his central characters and a bunch of animals, and elements of nature.
Here’s the post:
