It is official. The speculation over the remake of A Wednesday is over. Kamal Hassan himself has confirmed that he is doing the remake of A Wednesday in Tamil. He also informed that he is playing the role enacted by Naseeruddin Shah. The shooting will commence soon and that the film will be directed by a newcomer from USA, informs Kamal.

Kamal revealed all this during his address at the FCCI 2009 on 19th Feb, Thursday at South Cinema. The actor went on expressing his views on the current state of the industry.

"From my experience, there is no point in crying and running to mamas / papas (government officials) regarding the problems of the industry. We are now grown up to handle the situation and manage our problems on our own", said Kamal.

He also talked about the problems for the entry of the corporate companies into film production. "I think there is an element of fear in Tamil cinema and in allowing the entry of corporate companies. Business of cinema must welcome everyone to come in", declared the versatile star.

Kamal also strongly advocated for using the new technologies. He saw no reason for the fear about the digital technology. Ulaga Nayagan also urged the industry to recognize the video industry, which, according to him, will be very much helpful for the growth of the Cinema.
