Major Ravi should do something other that just army themed movies. Keerthichakra, Kargil, Keerthichakra 2 , Mission 90 days and now this.. a bit too much of fauj main mauj..audiences prefer their army stuff just once in a while (Border -Hit, LOC, Refugee-Flop, Nair saab-Hit, Sainyam- average, Pattalam, Megham-flop ( of course those made a mockery of the army), Keerthichakra -Hit, Mission 90 days flop, earlier Douthyam- Flop, Moonam Murra (kind of commando based)-average

Its people like you who make really good movies a flop. Your used to seeing only comedy/pseudo action,melodramatic,family films.
I better watch the countless army,violence,kind of movies thn the comedy,pseudo action, and melodramatic films.
i am thrilled to bits to read that kamal and lal are to be cast together in major ravi film.its a casting coup.frankly lal and kamal should have worked together long time back.i disagree that lal has ego.else he would not have acted in company with vivek oberoi as 3rd hero.i agree lal is out of shape but so was marlon brando.in hollywood there are many great actors with a bulky physique who are great actors.same case with lal.he is 47 and he is not young.he is an actor.not a star.maintaining a good physique is healthy but not the only thing for a good actor.so many hindi actors have great body but they are zero actors.its true that young audience don't like lal and even kamal is old.but i am sure major ravi will cast them in mature roles.it will be a treat to watch.major ravi pls revive lal's career.keerthichakra was the last good film lal did.kamal ur wish is granted.kandahar here we come!!!!
Dont understand why there is a lot of hatred here and it seems that everyone is trying to be a Raj Thackerey here.North or South, we all are Indians and we should be proud about that and should abstain from thinking in regional lines.Atleast the educated people like us should not indulge in such ludicrous attempts.Mohanlal and Kamal are both great actors and so is Amitabh Bachan or any other actors.There is also a lot of difference in the acting styles in both north and south Indian films.Being a mallu I have watched a lot of Malayalam films as well as Tamil and Hindi and all these industries have a lot of great actors.Because I've seen more number of Mohanlal films, I must say that he is "subtle acting's" greatest.And guys, be an Indian first and then think about your state and your region.Please.

Most of us worship the same God also! Incidentally KamalHassan is an atheist and should not be supported!

now in the name of God after being tired of regionalism.... comeon yaar when will we grow up... what is same God? God is only one , just diferent names.... Kamal hassan's acting skill can not be judged on, wheter he is an athiest or not ... if a person doesn't believe in GOd and also don't do any bad to anyone , that should be okay with everyone... rather than the persons who do puja but are ready to cut anyone's throat.....

whatever. He is one of the very best actors in our country. You just can't ignore it, whether you like it or not.
Instead of appreciating Major Ravi, here people are throwing mud with each other. India's great strength is her unity in diversity. Don't be a part of the efforts to divide India further even through your words...
Everybody knows that Mohanlal, Kamal, Sharukh and Bachan are good actors. There is no point of comparison and fighting with each other

Dear Ramachandran,
Don't think that everybody is literate like Malayalees. Only Malayalees are literate in this world. See a Monkey Devadass he is screaming like Rajni is his father.

Who told u Mr.Rahul, did u wander all over the world to collect these details? Infact the world knows more Mal, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali actors more than Hindi actors, as these movies regularly has got one entry in international film festival each year.
Hmmm, both Kamal and Mohanlal are well past their prime...casting them as commandos might not be the best ideas, maybe as the generals planning the Operation..and some youngsters as commandos..also Lal is famous for pulling out when cast with bigger stars: Eg: he was offered Sivaji as villain but refused.He only agrees to act with Mamooty, the human plywood board and that too after his role is tailormade

He was offered as a villain in Sivaji, but he refused. This clearly doesn't provide any solid proof tht he "refused" to do the movie b/c of rajinikanth or big stars etc...
In south cinema, ther ar no stars, just a volcano of merely the greatest actors in india.
The reason he didn't do the film is he did not downright "refuse", is tht sivaji required bulk dates since the movie takes almost wht 1-2 years aftr rajini finished actin in chandramukhi. So he didn't want to jeapordisze some of his films tht he already commited dates to. Thts the plain reason, no harm done to either rajinikanth's or mohanlal's film or their status.
Anywys, shankar approachd alot of othr actors to do the villain and thy had date prob. too.
What abt getting aishwarya in so many rajinikanth films in the past. In her interviews, she too said the same thing, the dates and schedule prob. wer there so she couldn't accomodate.
Big deal, if someone doesn't do the movie, its not because "i love you so i'll do the film, and i'll give you candy for tht. Or "I hate you since your dark/white/fat/anorexic, so i won't do your films"

Mohanlal's great choices: CK, Flash, Rock n Roll, Ali Bhai..man he must have busted his brain choosing such meaningful stuff. And the role in Shivaji was written specifically for him. It was more of a gray anti hero. When Suman came in they rewrote the script. Now Arjun has signed up as Rajni's villain in Robot? That's what's called guts.

Mr. ajay, mamooty & lal are best actors Indian cinema is having at present.... Give them any role any subject they will prove their worth....Try to recognise actors....not try to give them shit names like human plywood board...it suits u more...
What about the profits you are doing by making the films on our soliders, thier details, wars of our country are you sharing them with the soldiers families or atleast are you donating fund towards your ex-colleagueas, b'coz the whole inf. is about them in the film n u r cashing on thier life details.
