Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan met acclaimed filmmaker Christopher
Nolan, and was surprised that he has seen some of his movies.
The Indian
actor also gave him a copy of his critically acclaimed movie "Hey Ram" in
digital format.
"Met Mr.Christopher Nolan. Apologised for seeing
'Dunkirk' in the digital format and in return I am sending 'Hey Ram' in digital
format for him to see," Kamal tweeted.
"Was surprised to know he had seen
'Paapanaasam'," added the actor, who met Nolan here on Friday.
With
titles like "Batman Begins", "The Dark Knight", "The Dark Knight Rises",
"Inception", "Interstellar" and "Dunkirk", Nolan is regarded as one of the most
influential filmmakers of the 21st century. He continues to use the traditional
film for his movies.
Work and love for cinema has brought him to the
country. Nolan is in India to draw attention to the importance of celluloid in
the digital age.
Indian filmmaker and archivist Shivendra Singh
Dungarpur, founder of the Film Heritage Foundation (FHF), is hosting Nolan at a
three-day event 'Reframing the Future of Film' here from March 30 to April 1.
Celebrated visual artist Tacita Dean is also on board to talk about
preserving on film, and the necessity of determining new archival and exhibition
standards that secure a film's future.
Helping out in this endeavour,
Nolan and Dean will be a part of a round table conversation, alongside iconic
Indian film personalities like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Kamal Haasan, Shah
Rukh Khan, Santosh Sivan, Shyam Benegal, Anurag Kashyap and Farhan Akhtar.
Nolan will also be present for the screenings of two of his recent films -
Oscar-nomianted "Dunkirk" and "Interstellar".
The Hollywood director is
expected to fly out on April 2.
