Kamal Haasan lauds Kottukkaali's team after watching Soori and Anna Ben starrer; Sivakarthikeyan shares veteran actor's letter

As an ardent fan of Tamil cinema and a connoisseur of timeless masterpieces, I can confidently say that Kamal Haasan’s endorsement of Kottukkaali is the cinematic equivalent of a Michelin star for this film. His words, steeped in decades of experience and wisdom, are like golden coins of approval that every filmmaker dreams of receiving.


Prior to the premiere of Kottukkaali, Kamal Haasan wrote a detailed three-page letter following his viewing of the movie. In this missive, he discusses the intricate narrative and various nuances skillfully crafted in the script, direction, and execution.

Regarding the movie we’re discussing, the actor from Indian 2 stated, “I’m not offering a critique of Kottukkaali here. I believe more excellent films like this will emerge in Tamil cinema. A word to those with questionable taste: If you don’t start enhancing your palate soon, you won’t be able to swim along with the current of good contemporary cinema. All they need to do is satisfy their curiosity by observing from the shore without contaminating the waters.”

Additionally, Haasan praised the Kottukkaali crew for skillfully creating a compelling and sensibly told tale using captivating visual storytelling. Furthermore, he publicly acknowledged Sivakarthikeyan’s contributions. In response, Sivakarthikeyan publically shared letters from the legendary actor on his social media platforms, along with some photos. He also expressed his appreciation for Haasan’s thoughtful gesture. Take a look at the post below!

“I can’t contain my excitement as I pen this down! A moment we’ll forever cherish for #Kottukkaali, graced by the pioneer of Indian cinema, our beloved Ulaganayagan, @ikamalhaasan Sir! Receiving his appreciation is nothing short of a treasure. Thank you so much, Sir!”

Counting down the days until August 23, 2024, when I’ll be first in line to catch Kottukkaali, also known as The Adamant Girl! This upcoming masterpiece features none other than Soori and Anna Ben in lead roles. Just a few days ago, the creators released an electrifying trailer that left both audiences and critics buzzing with excitement! I can hardly wait to witness this unparalleled cinematic experience unfold on the big screen!

Check out the trailer below!

In the opening scene of Kottukkaali, we find Soori and his companions getting pulled over by a police officer while they’re on a motorbike. It turns out that they, together with their loved ones, are journeying to consult an exorcist, as it appears a spirit has taken hold of Soori’s sister.

As the trailer unfolds, you can see Anna Ben deep in thought inside a rickshaw. Subsequently, a storm of tumultuous happenings ensues as they strive to free her from an exorcism, causing chaos and upheaval all around them.

Drawing a parallel between Anna Ben’s character and a rooster burdened with a stone adds an intriguing layer, as it suggests they both experience feelings of confinement in similar ways.

The movie, helmed by director PS Vinothraj, will be making its debut after being showcased at the Berlin International Film Festival on February 16, 2024. Notably, this film is a production of actor Sivakarthikeyan under his personal production company.
