Kamal Haasan, one of the most talented actors and filmmakers in the world, is all set to share screen space with Japanese superstar Tadanobu Asano in an Indo-Japanese film, slated to be made on a 50-million dollar budget. Tadanobu Asano, one of the superstars in Japan right now, has acted in over 50 films, including the recent Mongol which broke all box-office records.
Produced and directed by Bharatbala, the film will trace the origins of the martial art form of Kerala, Kalarippayattu. It is heard that the movie will be evolved in the backdrop of the ninth century.
Currently, research is underway to fine-tune the factual elements of Kalarippayattu which is as old as the great Indian philosophy and the Vedas. It is rooted deep in the Vedic culture of India. It is considered by many as the most comprehensive of all the martial traditions.
According to sources, Kamal Haasan is very excited about this film with Bharatbala. However, Kamal's participatin of the film is not confirmed yet as he is abroad. Although the lead lady of the film is yet to be finalized, it is heard that the film makers are looking for a heroine with an athletic build.
The film, which is expected to go on floors some time next year, will be made in Hindi, Tamil and Japanese. Music director A.R. Rahman has been finalized for the music score. The film will be produced and directed by Bharatbala and co-produced by Walt Disney.
