I have enjoyed Marathi films in my childhood and wonder why it is the way it is now.
Who can forget Ashok Saraf, Laxmikant Berede, Sachin and team giving cool comedies and as well as serious stuffs as well. Vikram Gokhale is too the most talented actors of his time.
Maybe Kamal can make a difference in his own way. Come on guys give it the support that it deserves
Kamal Hassan has shown what he really feels about Hindi cinema and that probably explains why he is never really accepted as a hero in the north. When you look at a cinema as a means of culture capturing tool, you can never perform from your heart. Who says that Marathis are giving up their culture to Hindi cinema? Are there no north Indians in Maharashtra? Arent they not forced to live learn and work in Marathi and do they not do that? Would that mean they are giving up their culture to the Marathis? Marathis have kicked, insulted, beaten and deported Biharis as if they are nothing but scum. All because they wanted jobs in Bihar. If north Indians, gujjus and sindhis left Maharashtra, the economy of that state would be nothing better than that of Bihar.

Its all crap what Saagar has written.All non-maharashtrians are here bcoz they get good oppurtunities here and not bcoz they want bring prosperity to Maharashtra. If saagar is so confident why isnt Bihar or Gujrat as develpoed as Maharashtra? This ppl have betrayed what Maharashtra had given to them.Shame! Jai Maharashtra Rajev
Yes, Kamal: We Marathis dont have vernacular pride in their own culture and great values like Tamils have. They have succumbed to Hindi aggression and lost the pride in their language, culture and history. The irony is -- if someone speaks about it -- s/he is outcast. They connect such a pride to be terrorist kind of act... anti national--- anti social etc.... This is a pity of the Marathi masses.
Lot more is to be written on this ..... but it is high time now ...that Marathi people should rise and take pride in their own language and culture. It is definately not anti national-- it rather strengthens the nationality. Like a rainbow -- rainbow looks beutiful if all colors in it keep their identity. If every one looses its identity --- there wont be any rainbow and world wont even know that such a marvelous thing ever existed !!!
Thanks a lot Kamal.
Your such a good gesture towards Marathi people make us more proud of you.

True Rajesh.But what is more depressing is our own Indian bros. have started dominating and hating our language.Of course we ourselves are responsible for this.We shud fight this nonsense with full zest. At this moment,we need to capture our position again by electing appropriate MLA's,who will take care of Marathi manoos in Mumbai. Regards, Rajev
kamal hasan is telling that he would like to do marathi film since 1993(as for i remember).but sofor any body approached from marathi film industry? before salangai oli he done many films of his "gurunathar"balachandar.here he meant that all those films are "crass".let him think and answer yhe questions.
it was good to see an interview of an actor as talented as kamal haasan... v have already seen a lot of him over the years.... hope to see him more as a senior actor and hope he handles his career as amitabh is doing in the hindi film industry.. good luck to kamal haasan
That was an awesome interview.Kamal is the best actor around and also very good narrator when he tries to do anything.I have always concentrated 100% when he is talking...its a pleasure to hearhim speak.
