The director of the film KS Ravikumar and producer Udhayanidhi Stalin were also present to promote the film in Kerala.

At the press meet held, Kamal made it clear that the controversial song will not be deleted from the film.

Manmadhan Ambu is facing the wrath of the Hindu Makkal Katchi (HMK) for the song "Kannodu Kannai Kalandhal" which speaks much about woman's desire and has also references to Hindu deities like Aranganathar and Sri Varalakshmi.

Kamal has written the lyrics of the song and sung it with Trisha. Earlier HMK had sent a notice to Kamal Hassan, Trisha and the producer Udhayanidhi Stalin asking them to remove the song as it hurts the sentiments of Hindus.

Kamal said at the press meet: "I do not think that the song offends Hindu sentiments. The Censor Board has passed the film with a 'U' certificate. The song will not be deleted ."

“We shot for almost a month for the first schedule. We were rushing around like mad people, rehearsing and shooting our scenes. Though we were all abroad and sailing around in a cruise ship, work was very taxing. But I’m definitely not complaining. It was so nice to work with veterans like Kamal sir and K.S. Ravikumar sir. And getting back with Madhavan and Trash (Trisha) was fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it,” Sangeetha said to a leading English daily.

“The unit will decide the locations in another 20 days and we should be on board soon. We’ve shot almost 65% of the film in the first schedule. In fact, Kamal sir and I are almost done shooting for our parts. Only Trash and Maddy have to shoot for theirs now,” she added.

Kamal film titled ‘Manmadhan Ambu’?

Kamal Haasan’s forthcoming film, which was initially tentatively titled ‘Yavarum Kelir’, has undergone a name change now. If sources are to be believed, the new title of the movie is ‘Manmadhan Ambu’.

kamal290510_1

Remember one of the lines of the evergreen song ‘Andhi Mazhai Pozhigiradhu…’ from the Ulaga Nayagan’s 100th venture ‘Raaja Parvai’ has the words ‘Manmadhan Ambu’. Apparently inspired by it, the film has been titled so, sources say.

Produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin on Red Giant Movies banner, the movie would bring together Kamal and K S Ravikumar once again. They had earlier given hits like ‘Avvai Shanmugi’, ‘Thenali’, ‘Panchathanthiram’ and ‘Dasavatharam’.

The film has Trisha opposite Kamal with Madhavan playing an important role. Devi Sri Prasad is scoring the music and a poetic number, presumably the title song of the film, was recorded at the music composer’s studio recently.
