Kamal Haasan on Kalki 2898 AD

The pre-release event of Kalki 2898 AD was held in Mumbai recently. When Rana Daggubati asked Kamal Haasan if he thought an ‘ordinary-looking’ Nag was capable of making a film like this, he replied, “I’m used to this kind of ordinary-looking people who do extraordinary things. I’ve seen what people are capable of, my guru (Balachander) looked like a government official.”

Kamal added, “I always wanted to play a bad man. But I’m almost like a sage in the film, with a bad idea. I didn’t want to be pregnant in the film. (pointing at Deepika Padukone) We tried out various looks, and we finally arrived at an acceptable look for him.” In the film, Kamal plays the antagonist, Supreme Yaskin.
