If "Munnabhai M.B.B.S." was a surprise success, then its Tamil version "Vasoolraja M.B.B.S." has surprised no one by its success.

Laughs Kamal, "We all knew it would work. The masala was there in the original, and then we made the necessary adjustments. But I must say I'm taken aback by the success. 'Vasoolraja' is a blockbuster, much bigger than my earlier hit 'Virumaandi'."

Kamal is currently in Bangalore shooting his new thriller "KG". "It's an out-and-out urban film which I haven't done for a while," says the pride of Tamil Nadu. "KG" is being produced by Kamal Haasan's Rajkamal Films along with Mumbai's ace financier Bharat Shah who also co-produced Kamal Haasan's "Hey Ram" in Hindi, Tamil and probably Kannada.
