Kamal Haasan's Promise Premam Director Alphonse Putharen

Kamal Haasan took to Facebook recently to talk about the multiple looks he played in Dasavatharam. He wrote, "What was to be but was not. Now am going to talk about the actual “FIRST LOOK” of a few of the characters. I preferred this Bhuvaraghavan but the team was too surprised or probably they did not recognize me at all, but I have many friends who look like that too but this was denied for various reasons. Though it was a personal favorite of Mr.Mike and me we ended up having a more handsome-looking Bhuvaraghavan.For me, personally handsome was never about that face but that's what cinema loves so we decided on a slightly more cosmetic look for Bhuvaraghavan. The cliche look of what a scientist looks like in Tamil cinema was a bespectacled nerdy guy almost okayed a wig slapped on his head that looked more like a scholarly cap than hair. Mike and I decided not to tamper with that and I felt that’s the only part where I play myself but for various other characters I had to shave my head based on schedule so unfortunately I landed up with a wig well done for the days I can see through it now but then it seemed convincing, so went with that. otherwise, I would have settled for Govind who was balding which Mike would have pulled off like a wizard that he is (sic)."

Premam director Alphonse Putharen took to the comments section and wrote, "Sir... Could you tell us how you shot for Michael Madana Kama Rajan in the film Dasavatharam ... is like Ph.D. in filmmaking. Micheal Madana Kama Rajan itself is like a Degree course sir (sic)." Kamal replied to Alphone's comment and wrote, "Thank you Alphonse Puthren. Will do it soon. I don't know how much of learning it will be for you. For me, it was, as I had mentioned, a master class. Talking about it after years teaches me new lessons (sic)."
