Mani Ratnam and Kamal are the two Tamils who are very familiar with international awards including Cannes and the process of participating in them. Cheran's 'Porkalam' could not be included because of the delay in sending the film. Amir too had a similar experience.
Amir openly expressed his feelings that both Kamal and Mani Ratnam could have explained it to them. Now there is an appeal from Prakashraj.
Prakashraj's Duet Movies 'Mozhi' took part in Cannes this year. Both Prakashraj and director Radha Mohan were there. As soon as they came back, Prakashraj had made an appeal to Kamal.
Films alone are not screened at Cannes festival. It is a market for cinema. If a script were good, international film producers would produce that movie and release it globally. There is an opportunity to expand the market for Tamil films.
Moreover, Cannes is a learning ground to know more about good cinema. Prakashraj's desire is to take a select group of directors from Tamil cinema and get recognition due for Tamil films there. He has requested Kamal to take the lead in this effort. Besides Kamal, the same request has been made to Mani Ratnam, Balu Mahendra and Mahendran.
Prakashraj's appeal is far reaching and very meaningful. It will nurture Tamil cinema.
Will Kamal and others heed to his request?
