Kamal Hassan back to Bollywood with Amar Hain

Kamal Hassan

MUMBAI: Kamal Hassan is returning to the Hindi screen after a gap of 12 long years. The actor-producer-director is set to enter the arena with a separate Hindi version of his big-budgeted Tamil film.

According to Hassan, he wrote the script two years ago but put it aside because it required great intellectual and financial inputs. “I think I am now ready on both counts," he is quoted to have said.

Titled Amar Hain, the film will take a dispassionate look at the legitimisation of corruption in present-day India. Though the film isn‘t judgmental about corruption, it looks at contemporary mores dispassionately.

The other angle is the invisibility of global crime lords in the era of technology. "In the digital era, everything including crime is on the computer and the phone. That‘s why we never see global players in the crime game in our country. They don‘t need to since all their work is digitally manouevred. Amar Hain goes into all of this," Hassan added.

The film will be made in Tamil and Hindi with Hassan himself helming the project, besides playing the lead in both the versions.

The last film Hasan produced, directed and acted was Hey Ram in 2000.
