Kamal’s HCL recruit for Unnaipol Oruvan

With the title being changed to Unnaipol Oruvan, the ball for Kamal’s next film has begun rolling. The teaser trailer has been released and we know that the film is being directed by the hitherto unknown Chakri and that Shruthi Haasan will be handling the music department. We also know that Kamal will be playing Naseeruddin Shah’s role from the original and Mohanlal will be doing Anupam Kher’s. Further casting details are yet to be revealed. Kamal has always been known for introducing writers and other artistes in his films. The list of writers who have found a place in Kamal’s films include Crazy Mohan, Ra. Ki. Rangarajan, Ku. Gnanasampanthan, Pralayan, Puviyarasu, Madan etc. He even used lyricist Kapilan in a few scenes of Dasavatharam. This time too Kamal will be introducing a writer, it is heard, a name that most of us would not have heard of till now. It is Ira Murugan. He has been given an opportunity to work on the dialogues of Unnaipol Oruvan. Ira. Murugan’s is not a full time writer, however. You will be surprised to know that he is a software engineer working for HCL. But Kamal’s choices are based on rationale and we are sure that this one too is not wrong.
