Vegam - Audio released by Kamal !
Kamal Hassan, at a function held on Monday, said that newcomers to Kollywood should stand on their own merit, and try to establish their own style. Simbu sharply reacted at this remark on the same podium, and retorted that he does not imitate anybody.Speaking on the occasion of the audio launch of S.Ve.Shekher's son Ashwin Shekher's maiden venture Vegam, Kamal said, "Actors like Rajnikanth and me were fortunate to have a mentor like K. Balachander in the early days of our career. Unfortunately, today's young heroes do not have such opportunities. They can learn from actors like us. Instead of imitating us, they can try evolving a style unique to themselves". He recalled his long association with Shekher, and expressed hope that his son would also win a place for himself in the filmdom.
Simbhu also participated in the event, but contradicted Kamal's observation. He said: "There have been criticisms about my style in my movies. However, I am happy for the fact that it went down well with the audience. I do not imitate anybody. It is something spontaneous, and I'm glad that I was able to reach out to the masses".Starring Ashwin and Archana in lead roles, Vegam has a musical score by the noted classical musician Rajesh Vaidya.Rama Ramanarayanan, President of Tamil Film Producers Council, S. Ve. Shekher, Ashwin Shekher,and a large number of film personalities also attended the function.
