*Marmayogi shelved?* It is almost certain that the much talked about Kamal Hassan magnum opus * Marmayogi* has been dropped. Pyramid Saimira who were to jointly produce it with Rajkamal International, is reported to have pulled out of the project due to lack of finance.
Ever since the colossal failure of *Kuselan* Pyramid Saimira has been caught in a financial crunch out of which it looks seemingly impossible to come out. Kamal, the perfectionist if he has to make *Marmayogi* can do it only on a huge canvass and that requires big money, nearly Rs 100 crore. Now the market buzz is that Kamal is starting a new venture *Thalaivan Irukkiraan*, for Gemini Films Circuit, who had done 'Vasool Raja MBBS' earlier with the star. Gemini is trying to make the film on a budget of Rs 50 to Rs 60 crore, in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam . An offical announcement is expected shortly once the star cast and technicians are firmed up. As per the rumours making the rounds it is going to be an action packed adventure film to be shot in US and Switzerland. It will have a galaxy of stars from all Indian languages like Rishi Kapoor, Venkatesh and Mohanlal. The film will have music by A R Rahman and will be written and directed by Kamal Hassan. http://sify.com/movies/fullstory.php?id=14793441 -- regards, Vithur
