Even as the 'Dasavatharam' fever has gripped India and as Kamal fans are waiting with bated breath for its release, the ace actor is looking ahead with his next project, ‘Marmayogi’.

Kamal Haasan is sporting a wildly grown beard these days. The reason can be fathomed by just about anybody. ‘Marmayogi’ demands the beard and it also shows the commitment the actor has towards filmmaking.  It is a practice by most in the film industry to take a break after completing a project. Even with the unimaginable magnitude with which the film has been made and following a lifestyle that demanded the actor to work up to 20 hours a days on a regular basis, thoughts of a break hasn't set in. Pre-production work for ‘Marmayogi’ has already started and what's more….Kamal Haasan has done the screenplay for the film.

The ‘Marmayogi’ team has approached Kajol to play a very important role in the film. This is actually the second time that Kamal Haasan is approaching Kajol. He had earlier knocked on her door for a role in ‘Chachi 420’ – the remake of the Tamil blockbuster ‘Avvaishanmugi’. Unfortunately, Kajol was committed to another project at that time and Tabu was roped in.

The dream girl of the sixties, Hema Malini has been approached for another role and has accepted it gleefully. Let's hope we get to see Kamal Haasan and Kajol perform stupendously in ‘Marmayogi’.
