Kamal Haasan is doing a cameo appearance in a Malayalam film after 23 years!

Malayalam Cinema’s young hit director Saji Surendran (Ivar Vivahitharayal, Happy Husbands ) is the lucky guy to get Kamal’s date for a cameo appearance in his latest film Four Friends.

Kamal's best friend in Malayalam industry Jayaram is the hero of the film which also has Jayasurya, Kunchacko Bobban and Meera Jasmine. All scenes featuring Kamal will be shot in Chennai.

Saji Surendran said “Kamal sir liked the script and situation and immediately agreed to do this cameo. His character is the catalyst who appears in the turning point and very crucial to the story.”

Surendran approached Kamal through Jayaram, and in fact Kamal told the director in lighter vein – “I’m doing the film for my good friend Jayaram. You should change the title from ‘Four Friends’ to ‘For a Friend’.” Kamal is not charging any remuneration for the film and will shoot for the film before August 10 in Chennai.

Ulaganayagan’s last film in Malayalam was more than two decades back, the IV Sasi directed Vrutham in 1987. Kamal had plan's to do a Malayalam movie with Mohanlal during their Unnaipol Oruvan days but it didn’t work out.

Kamal in interviews to local Malayalam media and at several award functions which he attended in Kerala, had revealed his desire to be part of a Malayalam movie.
