11.07.2008. It has been confirmed that ‘Marmayogi’ will have veteran Bollywood actress Hemamalini playing a prominent role. But the biggest surprise that could lead to tremendous anticipation is that Amitabh Bachchan might be part of the project too. Kamal Haasan, it seems is trying to rope in the legendary actor for an interesting role.
This is not the first time Amitabh has been invited to work in a Tamil film. This has happened several times earlier, but it did not work out, either due to the superstars busy schedules or incongruence between the role offered and the stars image. May be the time has not yet come for fans to see Big B in a Tamil film mouthing Tamil dialogues.

But the news that Kamal Haasan has invited Big B to take part in Marmayogi gives a viewers a glimmer of hope to see Big B mouthing Tamil dialogues in a Tamil film. Fans of Amitabh in Tamil Nadu who wish to hear him speak Tamil in his baritone voice, should watch Laawaris, in which he speaks a short sentence in Tamil.  It is to be noted that Amitabh, Rajinikanth, and Kamal Haasan have acted together in a hit Bollywood film, Giraftaar, released in 1985, which was a bonanza to their fans. All three stalwarts of Indian cinema in one film! What else anyone could ask for?

According to sources, Kamal Haasan has recently expressed this desire saying ’’We are working on ‘Marmayogi’ which will be on a grand scale and Amitabh Bachchan would be perfect for a role in the film”.

It can be recalled that plans were on to rope in the Big B for the Rajini starrer ’Sivaji’. However he declined the offer.It would be interesting to see if the Shahensha of Hindi films is fascinated by ’Marmayogi’. Sure would be great if he is. If that happens, it will be the first time Amitab would be part of a Tamil film
