When Kamal Hassan [Images] made Hey Ram, he managed to get almost all the big names from the Indian film industry to star in it.
And it looks like his latest magnum opus Maramyogi is heading the same way. After roping in Hema Malini, Shobhana, Trisha and Shriya, the latest to join the four-time National Award-winner is one of the super stars of Telugu film industry, Venkatesh.
Asked whether he has been approached by Kamal Hassan for Marmayogi, the actor replied, "Yes. I am in the process of finalising things."
Asked what made him accept the film and he replied, "Being with an actor like Kamal Hassan will be an experience. The passion and the obsession he has for cinema is amazing. He's worked for our production house before. As an actor, the kind of work he has done is unbelievable and incredible and he puts all of us to shame. I have full respect for him and have grown up watching his work."
