It has been a long time dream of every film buff,
especially those who have born after 1990s to see director Mani Ratnam
and actor Kamal Haasan, the two pride gems of Tamil cinema team up for a
film again. But this still remains a dream for the past 29 years as
they have not worked together in any film after the 1987 blockbuster
classic film 'Nayakan'.
However the two legends have many times shared the
same dais for film related events and the latest to join in the list
would be the Bengaluru International FIlm Festival.
After the recently concluded 13th Chennai
International Film Festival, which had the phenomenal participation of
film enthusiasts and general public of Chennai, a festival of the same
kind is going to be held in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka State.
Recently Karnataka Chief Minister Siddharamiah headed
a meeting to discuss the plans to organize the event which will be
inaugurated by Bollywood actress and politician Jaya Bachchan on the
28th day of this month. As many as 172 films from 50 countries will be
screened in various theaters across Bengaluru.
Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam have been invited to
grace the opening ceremony of Bengaluru International Film Festival and
the two doyens are likely to participate.
