'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan and acclaimed Tamil filmmaker Mani Ratnam are coming together for a new film, tentatively titled 'KH 234'. The upcoming film marks the big reunion of the two giants after 35 years when they collaborated on the cult classic 'Nayakan' (1987) and expectations have been massive right from the moment its announcement last year.
A new photo of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam ahead of the 'KH 234' production has been released, signaling the start of the early stages of the works in the highly-anticipated film. With the 'KH 234' teaser already revealed to be coming out on the occasion of Kamal Haasan's birthday on November 7, this latest photo of Kamal Haasan with Mani Ratnam has come as a special treat for fans. Along with this latest photo, the team has also revealed the core crew of the ambitious venture, which will include leading names in Indian cinema starting with cinematographer Ravi K Chandran, editor A Sreekar Prasad, stunt choreographer duo Anbariv, production designer Sharmishta Roy, costume designers Amritha Ram and Eka Lakhani, makeup artist Ranjith Ambady, publicity designer Gopi Prasannaa and PROs 'Diamond' Babu and Sathish.
The announcement has come ahead of the film's teaser and fans will now be waiting with bated breath to witness the duo recreate the magic of 'Nayakan' once again. There have been several big names doing the rounds in regard to the cast and an official statement is expected soon. While 'KH 234' is Mani Ratnam's next after his magnum opus 'Ponniyin Selvan' films, Kamal Haasan has in his lineup several big ventures starting with the much-awaited 'Indian 2' under Shankar's direction, followed by the tentatively titled 'KH 233' with director H Vinoth, while he will also be seen in a key role in Prabhas' 'Kalki 2898 AD.'
