Actor Kamal Haasan seemed to have blindsided everyone with his plans to revive his long-delayed project Marudhanayagam. The fans of the actor have gone into a tizzy after the pictures showing the posters of Marudhanayagam being displayed at the Cannes film market landed on the internet. The pictures doing the rounds also gave a glimpse of the Marudhanayagam album showing some gripping stills from the film.
It is very well known that Kamal has been trying to resume the project, which was shelved many years ago due to financial constraints. It won’t be wrong to say that Kamal aspired to do a film like Baahubali in the 1990s itself. The period film Marudhanayagam is based on a freedom fighter and it was launched in 1997 by Queen. It was touted to become the most expensive Indian film at the time, as the filmmakers reportedly required Rs 85 crore to complete the project. However, the production of the film was stopped halfway as Kamal could not find right producers to fund it.
