There can't no more open actor than Kamal Haasan when it comes to accepting technology or seeking out techniques.

In fact, he is something of a pioneer when it comes to introducing world technologies to the Tamil industry.

So it was a surprise for many that he didn't take the digital route for his films even though digital recording is very much available here.

Cinematographer-director P C Sriram beat him to that as he made his Vanam Vaspadum with digital technology --- the film will be in the digital format and not on conventional film.

But trust Kamal to catch up with techno Joneses pretty quickly. The news is that his on going production Mumbai Express will be on digital format.

The other bit of information, Kamal has tried a few other cutting-edge technology in the making of this film.
