  Except for tenali which was a hit (not a super hit) all the other films were FLOPS. Alavanthan (read producer dhaanu's interview - "aalaavanthan azhikkavanthan" in kumudam), anbu sivam (budget - 12 crores, box office collections - 4 crores, India today),
  Pammal.K.Sambandam (read director rama narayanan's interview in kumudam - he distributed the film in coimbatore) & panchatanthiram.
  
  In fact, the last 2 films ran for 100 days only that too only in chennai. PKS completed 100 days with great difficulty in a theatre named shree (with a capacity of about 200 seats). As for pancha--., it ran in 2 mini theatres (in noon shows).
  
  In tamil we say "techchi techchi ottinaan".
  
  Get your facts & figures right before posting.

  Hey guys,
  Whatever U say, U cannot dispute the box office collections. The main topic is about that.
  
  Now coming to young directors wanting to work with him, they will realise that their dream will turn into a nightmare after working with him.(if at all, it materialises).
  
  Here are a few egs :
  1. Sibi malayil was supposed to direct Guna.
  2. Priyadarshan was supposed to direct anbe sivam.
  3. Bharathan left devar magan halfway. (though he was mentioned as director).
  4. Shanthanu Shorey was supposed to direct Chachi 420 (the hindi remake of avvai shanmughi).
  5. Sethumadhavan, a reputed director regretted doing nammavar & left it halfway.
  
  Agreed, none of these directors are young. But the problem is kamal can never get along with his directors. The only ones he gets along are singeetham & santhana bharathi (both uppuma directors, who are also his jaalraas).
  
  Young directors have never worked with him.
  Just wait & see.Till they finish directing the film U never know. After their experience, they will definitely live to regret it.Do not count your chickens before they hatch.
  
  The problem is, as K.B said in virumandi function, Kamal thinks he is the only intelligent person & that all others are fools. He just cannot accept the fact that he can go wrong.(This fact was mentioned by Nana Patekar too in stardust, a few years back). That is the reason many of his technically good films, in spite of getting good reviews, have bombed at the box office. He is just not able to balance the two.
  
  He was doing it a few years back (moondram pirai, nayakan), but not so now.
  
  Kamal should set his ego aside & get along & work with new directors. Only then he can survive.
  
  Kamal was supposed to do robot with shanker but, now, shankar is doing the same film (with a different title) with vikram.
  
  Mani ratnam is wary of working with him (though there were reports that they will do a film together).
  
  K.B, his guru, has not worked with him after unnaal mudiyum thambi (even he had lot of problems during the filming).
  
  If Kamal has to beat the race & stay in the limelight for a few more years, he should shed his ego & be prepared to accept the fact that there is plenty of talent among tamil cine directors. It would do him a lot of good.

  Kamalhassan is ultimate!
  
  If ppl fail to understand his movies, it just shows he is way ahead in his unique thoughts, adding colour to the artistic field in tamizh cinema, which is rather untouched comparitively.
  
  Wonder whatever happened to
  
  MARUTHANAYAGAM!
  
  and what happened to his idea of taking
  
  PONNIYIN SELVAN
  
  as a movie????????????

  Maruthanayagam Will NEVER me made & as for ponniyin slevan, forget it
