Ever since actor Kamal Haasan and filmmaker H Vinoth met the committee members of Nel Jayaraman Traditional Rice Conservation Center, speculations have been rife that they were set to make a film together. Today, Kamal announced the project, tentatively called KH233.
The actor’s Raaj Kamal Films International banner posted an announcement video that features Kamal holding a flaming torch. “Rise to Rule,” is mentioned as the tagline of the film.
Though details regarding the plot are currently unknown, the actor-politician teaming up with a filmmaker known for his social themes seem to hint at a politically-charged film

Kamal, last seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram, has Indian 2, a film with Mani Ratnam, and the long-announced film with Mahesh Narayanan in the pipeline. The actor will also be seen opposite Prabhas in Nag Ashwin’s much-anticipated film Project K. RKFI, on the other hand, is producing Sivakarthikeyan’s SK21 with Rajkumar Periasamy and Silambarasan TR’s STR48with Desingh Periyasamy.
National Press Day (November 16) was last week, and, as an entertainment journalist, I decided to base this column on a topic that is as personal as it is relevant — films on journalism and journalists.
