Kamal Haasan & Paresh Rawal reunite

The Chachi 420 actors comprising of Kamal Haasan and Paresh Rawal, would be coming together once again after 18 years in a Hindi-Tamil bi-lingual that would see Kamal and his daughter Shruti Haasan playing father and daughter.

Interestingly, Kamal Haasan and Paresh Rawal, who are Tamilian and Gujarati respectively, will both play Bengali characters.

Kamal Haasan says he is looking forward to being reunited with Paresh. "Its a pleasure to work with a sturdy reliable co-star. Look at Tom Hardy in The Revenant. See what he has done to his character and how he has supported Leonardo Di Caprios performance. Hardy is the best from the West since Marlon Brando. It would be a pleasure to work with a co-star like him."

Kamal Haasan is still in New York scouting locations for his film co-starring Shruti Haasan that Rajeev Kumar will direct.

On February 7, the actor-filmmaker took time off to address an attentive audience at the Harvard University where he spoke succinctly and persuasively about Indian democracy and freedom of speech. Says Kamal Haasan, "It was an experience that I wont forget in a hurry. I had to connect my ideas and thoughts to a highly knowledgeable and inquisitive audience. I think I succeeded in that. Not bad for a high-school drop-out."
