Instead, he chose to revive the initial Sivaji Ganesan project that did not materialise but with Kamal in the lead. Later both Muktha Srinivasan and Kamal Haasan approached Mani Ratnam to direct a remake of Vinod Khanna’s 1970 Bollywood film Achanak but Mani Ratnam was not interested in it. As Kamal felt that there was no scope for him, the project was ultimately abandoned. Sivaji Ganesan also agreed to appear and it was decided in the initial talks that Kamal Haasan and Amala would act in supporting roles with Shivaji. It was way back in the mid-1980s when filmmaker Muktha Srinivasan approached leading star Sivaji Ganesan with a script inspired by the Hollywood classic The Godfather. It is the highly acclaimed Mani Ratnam film Nayagan, which also starred Saranya as the female lead. One of his early films selected for the Oscars recently completed 35 years.
Kamal Haasan has been the only Indian actor whose films have been selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars the maximum times.
