The International screenwriting workshop that began on 28th May is like a dream come true says actor Kamal Haasan. In January when he talked about the desire to organize the workshop for scree wriring and getting some fresh blood into the mainstream. When the curtains go up at “INTERIOR ICSR Auditorium IIT” the dream of the man with relentless passion for Cinema comes true. Veteran French Writer Jean Claude, Balu Mahendra, Gulzar, Om Prakash are some of the prominent stalwarts will share their thoughts between May 28th and June 3rd. When Kamal speaks about Coppola who made ‘The God Father’ he and his friend R.C.Shakti would be discussing (even before the release of God Father) which Italian actor is going to play. The God Father later went on to influence two of Kamal films Nayakan and Thevar Magan. Few people knew Thevar Magar was born out of The God Father.
Kamal is dedicating the Seminar to his old friend Ananthu who first introduced him to Cinema. All the speakers belong to different schools of cinema. Kamal confirmed that he even learnt from younger ones. Some of them he considers mentors K.Balachandar has written and produced 100 different films. Americans and the Europeans may not at all agree with each other. But it is important to present one way to write a script with different perspectives.
