Kamal Haasan, Brahmanandam to get into action mode

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan and comedian Brahmanandam will join hands for the first time for an action sequence in the first schedule of upcoming trilingual action-comedy "Sabaash Naidu".

In the film, which will feature Haasan as a RAW operative, Brahmanandam will be seen as his sidekick.

"In the first schedule which will start later this week in the US, Haasan and Brahmanandam will shoot for a chase sequence. The team will spend the first few days rehearsing for the scene and will eventually shoot the scene without body doubles," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Directed by T.K. Rajeev Kumar, the film also stars Shruti Haasan, Ramya Krishnan and Roger Narayan.

Shruti will play Haasan's reel daughter for the first time.

In the film's Hindi version, titled "Sabaash Kundu", Saurabh Shukla will replace Brahmanandam.

Nearly 80 percent of the film will be shot in the US.

Maestro Ilayaraja has already started working on the tunes.

Produced by Haasan's Raaj Kamal International, the film will hit the screens worldwide on December 1.
