Marudhanayagam, the long-delayed project of Kamal Haasan, is back in focus again. This high budgeted historical flick directed and produced by Kamal himself. The film was launched in the year 1997 and shoot of some crucial portions has been wrapped up long back. However, the shooting got stalled as the production company which is co-producing the film backed out. Estimated to have cost nearly Rs 35 crore (in 90s), making it most expensive Indian film at that time and Kamal has invested Rs 8 crore in the project.

Kamal has been planning to revive the project since very long. In 2012, the actor announced that the budget of the film
was increased to Rs 150 crore and his contemporary actor Rajinikanth will feature in a pivotal role.

Cinematographer Muthukumar recollects the moment when Kamal fumed at him for committing a mistake while shooting for this prestigious film. For a sequence shot in a dense forest in South, Kamal had to be chased by the goons and the actor goes to the top of a hill and rolls down a huge rock to kill his enemies. Kamal got every right, but the cameraman failed to capture a crucial moment. In a serious tone, the versatile actor asked the ace cinematographer to concentrate on work.

Just like fans, Muthukumar who claims Marudhanayagam will stun one and all is hoping for the film to release at the earliest to see some of the breathtaking sequences captured by him on big screen.
