With his "Vishwaroopam" issue settled down after facing various problems, Kamal is ready with his next which is to be titled 'Moo'. It has been reported that Kamal will be starting this project after completing his Vishwaroopam 2.

Quiz Kamal about this he said, "I will be registering the title soon. It denotes three. The Tamil language has this beauty about it - you can tell a word in one syllable, like nee, naan, thee. I'd like to title my next film, post Vishwaroopam 2, as Moo." We hear that Kamal will be playing three roles in the film and it also might be made in English because of the Ulaganayagan's interest in Hollywood. Not surprisingly the famous Hollywood producer Barrie Osborne has shown an interest in working with Kamal. Barrie Osborne is well known for his series of "Lord Of The Rings". " I am inspired by Kamal Haasan. We are discussing a project together. I hope it comes true soon." says Barrie Osborne.

When asked about this, a source close to Kamal said. " There's no official confirmation about Moo yet. Kamal sir is planning to make Vishwaroopam 2 next and he had mentioned that even during the talks with the Muslim groups. He has already shot most of the film and will shoot the remaining portions soon. In fact, when Vishwaroopam ends, there's an indication that the sequel will take place in India."

Films with item numbers to carry ‘A’ certificate!

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 09:49 AM PST

All films with item songs will get an 'Adult' rating, as per a recent order of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). An 'A' certificate will hit filmmakers hard, as satellite television rates of the film will plunge.

A meeting of CBFC members in Mumbai was critical of what the censors had passed. The censor board came under tremendous pressure after the recent Delhi gang rape.

The CBFC CEO Pankaja Thakur has said : " We have decided to issue 'A' certificate to any film which has an item number" The CBFC felt some strict measures has to be taken before the public anger boils over.

Producers in south are already hit by the ban, as most pictures which have item numbersare now calling it "fun song" !! But CBFC chief Leela Samson is clear that in whatever name you call an item song, the producer will have to take an 'A' cut!

Meanwhile after Vishwaroopam controversy and subsequent ban in Tamil Nadu, the centre has appointed a judicial commission to review the Cinematography Act, which creates and empowers the national censor board.

An eight-member committee has been appointed by the centre headed by retired Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Mukul Mudgal, and includes Sharmila Tagore, who headed the censor board, and award-winning lyricist and parliamentarian Javed Akhtar.
