Kamal Haasan on power-packed interval block from Vikram
During the masterclass, the host asked Ulaganayagan about the interval block that Vikram had which took each and everyone by storm. The seasoned actor promptly said, “I know, I'm blowing my own trumpet, the director got inspired to create that interval block because of my third reel in Vishwaroop.”
Kamal Haasan further continued, “There is a sequence from the Mahabharata actually where Arjuna plays a woman and there is somebody who tells him your time in the forest is over you don't have to pretend to crossdress anymore you can take on your enemies and he goes and suddenly people are hunting him he suddenly turns around goes back of the rock and comes back as Arjuna.”
He also recalled the film Vishwaroopam, “Even in mythology it's a very interesting point that I had used in Vishwaroopam and it took the audience as much as that sequence in Mahabharata has affected the audience 2000-3000 years later so, these are the moments that rarely strike you.”
The actor also shared how he got the idea of Vishwaroopam, “We have seen many such things actually if you see where I got the idea of Vishwaroopam, where Vikram's director got the idea we have a continuous lineage leading us back to our predecessors like if there are fans of Mr. MGR here they'll remember Enga Veettu Pillai when unexpectedly he pulls out the whip and starts whipping Mr. Nambiar instead of being whipped it became a political song forever to follow him and it is Naan Aanaiyitaal.”
Kamal Haasan concluded by saying, “That became a sequence in Vishwaroopam, that became the high point, the interval point in Vikram, you don't expect it at all, you want to believe it and you want to believe that it is happening that is suspended disbelief coming to full fruition in cinema.”
