Kamal Haasan’s new film ‘Uthama Villain’ first look posters and teaser got immense response due to unique character designing. However, latest buzz is that his fully-painted look is copycat of a snap by French photographer Eric Lafforgue that depicts the Theeyam art form from Kerala. It’s unclear if the actor has sought permission to use it as the look of his film.
This isn’t the first time that Kamal is at the centre of a raging debate for his inspiration for material for his films.
One of the looks from his last film, Vishwaroopam, featured the actor dressed in a hood is something very similar to Tom Cruise’s look in Mission Impossible 4. His 2003 Tamil film, Anbe Sivam, which featured the Ulaganayagan and Madhavan, had the two actors in animated conversation, somewhat similar to the 1987 movie titled Planes, Trains and Automobiles which also interestingly had a storyline similar to the Tamil film.
