Actor Kamal Hassan is preparing for his next big budget multi-lingual venture, "Marmayogi" (mysterious saint) after his latest flick "Dasavatharam," The film, to be directed by the actor himself, will be produced by Rajkamal Movies in association with Pyramid Saimira Theatre Ltd.
As with many of his films, speculation is ripe in Kollywood (Tamil film industry) about the story line of the new project and the film unit is tightlipped.
While one theory is that it is a children's film where the actor dons the role of a guide, another predicts that the movie is a remake of the Val Kilmer-starrer "The Saint", where the Hollywood star donned multiple roles.
The actor is known for his penchant for multiple roles, as he did in "Michael Madana Kama Rajan" and "Dasavatharam".
It is also speculated that it will be competition for the multi-crore Rajni-starrer "Robot".
Kamal Hassan has already donned the role of director in his critically-acclaimed "Hey Ram," a plot intertwining pre and post-Independence India, "Virumaandi" and "Mumbai Express." With the actor sporting a thick beard and film stills showing him with long, untidy hair and wearing classic battle robes, rumour has it that `Marmayogi' could be a remake of Mel Gibson's "Braveheart".
Yet to go public on his project, all Kamal Hassan had to say was that he would make the official cut soon, and the aim was to "make a quality offering to the people."
