An inspiration for a film

Actor-film-maker Kamal Hassan said he wanted the recent Tamil romantic-comedy Kalyana Samayal Saadham to succeed because the makers had told him that he had been their biggest inspiration and that made him nervous.

The film, which has been popularised as ‘KSS’, revolves around a soon-to-be-married couple who deal with a personal problem. “I became nervous when the makers told me that I had inspired them. Therefore, I wished for the film to succeed and I’m glad that it has today. The director and producer of the film ensured that I don’t feel nervous anymore,” he said in a statement.

Lauding the young team of ‘KSS’, he said it’s a “cute film on marriage”. “So many youngsters nowadays watch films of renowned directors and pass comments. But when you hand over the baton to them, they mess up big time. But here is team of youngsters, that has understood and appreciated cinema and given us a memorable film," he said.

 “There have been so many films on weddings in Indian cinema but here is a film that has presented the topic with a different perspective. It’s a cute film on marriage,” added Kamal, who had personally lauded the film’s team at his residence recently. Directed by debutant RS Prasanna, the film features Prasanna Venkatesan and Lekha Washington in the lead.
