Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan will revive the popular character Balram Naidu, a RAW operative from 2008 Tamil action-comedy ‘Dasavatharam’, in his upcoming yet-untitled trilingual comedy. It is slated to go on the floors in May. “Kamal will play Balram Naidu in his new film. Audiences will be introduced to his family for the first time. It’s an out-and-out comedy flick interspersed with sporadic action sequences. The regular shooting will start from the second week of May,” said a source.
The film, which is being produced by Raaj Kamal International, will be simultaneously shot in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. National Award-winning actor Saurabh Shukla is also part of the cast. Maestro Ilayaraja, who has been roped in to compose the tunes, chose the title for the film’s Tamil version which will be officially unveiled on Friday.
