Kamal’s Classic Film Getting A 12K Re-Release!

The Indian cinema is growing by leaps and bounds with each passing day. We have secured the Oscars and our films are getting huge collections which are on part with some hit Hollywood flicks. We are getting a lot of love from foreign countries as well. We are exploring new techniques and new technologies in order to better ourselves.

We have seen movies released in 4K resolution. Though 8K is also available, most of the theatres in India could only run 4K movies. Even televisions are giving 4K displays these days. Imagine how great it would be if we could get 12K resolution that too for an old film. Prasad Corporation of Chennai made it possible recently.

Kamal Haasan’s ‘Hey Ram’ which came out in 2000 has been upgraded and a new print is readied. This means that this film can be viewed with intense clarity and we doubt that if it was really made 24 years ago or not. The re-release of this film happened a few years back in Tamil Nadu. 4K resolution was used then but it did not happen for any Telugu film till date. Now, movie lovers are asking for a dubbed version of ‘Hey Ram’ in Telugu.

For people who don’t know, ‘Hey Ram’ revolves around Gandhi’s controversial death and Kamal Haasan played the lead role apart from directing it. Shah Rukh Khan played a special role while Ilayaraja gave the music. The movie is three and a half hours long and the original version can be viewed directly on YouTube.

The legendary actor has always been an inspiration, and he recently showcased another aspect of his commitment that left everyone in awe.

Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film, ‘Vishwambhara’, is currently in production, with shooting taking place on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The film promises high-octane action sequences, and one particular scene has garnered attention for Chiranjeevi’s refusal to use a body double. Despite suggestions from the film’s makers to employ a dupe for safety reasons, Chiranjeevi chose to perform the action sequence himself, demonstrating his fearless spirit and dedication to delivering authentic performances.

Even as he crosses the age of 60, Chiranjeevi shows no signs of slowing down. His decision to eschew a body double and perform his stunts speaks volumes about his passion for cinema and his respect for his audience.

The film is set to hit the screens during the festive season of Sankranthi in 2025, and audiences are eagerly awaiting the chance to witness Chiranjeevi’s stellar performance and the magic he brings to the silver screen once again.
