Kamal Haasan is planning a Hollywood style mid-air fight sequence

Chennai: With the increase in all the hype and attention surrounding Rajinikanth's forthcoming starrer Sivaji as the movie's release date looms closer, it seems like Kamal Haasan who is shooting for his magnum opus Dasavadharam wants to ensure that his film too gets an equal share of attention. It is reported that the actor is planning a Hollywood style mid-air fight sequence near the Nehru stadium in the city.

Apparently Kamal Haasan met Tamil Nadu chief minister Karunanidhi to seek permission to perform and shoot this helicopter scene. This is because as per the air control rules, a person must procure prior permission before using the airspace in the city to operate a helicopter.



Even though the details of the meetings are being kept under wraps, sources say that Mr Karunanidhi was very impressed after he saw some of Kamal's stills from the movie, particularly those where the actor had special make-up on. It is reported that after seeing these visuals, the CM immediately wished the actor success in his efforts.

Meanwhile, the shooting for this scene is expected to take place soon. According to insiders, this sequence was chosen over the stadium so that they could make use of the plain green background as a screen on which they could superimpose special graphics for the movie.
