Kamal snubs Bharathiraja

Director Bharathiraja has always been known to court controversies, of all kinds. And he has also been taking potshots at Kamal Hassan, his protégé, from time to time. And Kamal too never seemed to mind the comments coming from his mentor who gave him the phenomenal hit ‘Pathinaru Vayathinile’ plus many other memorable hits. But this time Bharathiraja appears to have gone overboard and Kamal too chose to react.

Bharathiraja had criticized Kamal’s ‘Dasavatharam’ for lacking in ‘proper script and screenplay’ and he is also reported to have said that ‘Dasavatharam’ had nothing called a ‘story’. Kamal, as usual, chose to remain silent when these comments came up.

Meanwhile, Bharathiraja’s daughter’s marriage is scheduled to take place in Malaysia, in a grand manner. And Bharathiraja has decided to take most of the industry’s VIPs to Malaysia for the wedding at his own expense. And for this, he has instructed his assistants to collect the passports of those on the list of invitees. When these assistants approached Kamal to get his passport, Kamal is reported to have sent them back, saying curtly that he has got to spend more time in writing a ‘proper script’ for his ‘Marmayogi’ so that next time Bharathiraja wouldn’t be criticizing his work. He reportedly said that since he has to concentrate on ‘script-writing’, he won’t be able to come to Malaysia.
