Still, that plot is so strong that all this, ultimately, matters little. Plus, there’s the leading man. Suyambulingam is a cable-TV operator. And a cinema fanatic, like… Kamal Haasan. This seems to be the season for meta reflections on the actor. Uttama Villain was practically a meditation on the Kamal Haasan persona. Here, we get a reference to his 1975 release Cinema Paithiyam, as well as a reminder of the actor’s indifference to politics. And let’s not forget that, like Suyambulingam, Kamal Haasan has two daughters and is starring in this movie with his real-life Significant Other.
