What happens when a classic scene from an unreleased film resurfaces and goes viral? Social media is currently buzzing with comparisons between Mahesh Babu‘s first look from Varanasi and Kamal Haasan‘s iconic bull riding scene from his unreleased film Marudhanayagam. The debate has divided movie fans online, with many praising the legendary actor’s dedication to performing real stunts.
The first look of Mahesh Babu from SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi was recently unveiled, showing the actor riding a computer-generated ox. While fans are excited about the film, some netizens have started comparing this CGI scene with Kamal Haasan’s real bull riding sequence from Marudhanayagam, which was filmed decades ago without any digital effects.
Kamal Haasan’s Real Bull Riding Stunt Goes Viral
Clips showing Kamal Haasan as the 18th-century Tamil historical figure Marudhanayagam riding a bull with ease and ferocity are being widely shared on social media platforms. These scenes showcase the actor performing the dangerous stunt himself, without the use of any computer-generated imagery or body doubles.
According to social media users, Kamal Haasan performed this scene with greater skill and authenticity than what was shown in the Varanasi first look. They have commended the legendary actor for his commitment to working in real time through training and hard work, rather than relying on technology. One user wrote on X, “Today with technologies, this is easy. But back then, Kamal Haasan trained with 3 bulls for 60 days to pull off these real.”
The Dedication Behind The Stunt
What makes Kamal Haasan’s achievement even more impressive is the preparation that went into it. Reports suggest that the actor trained intensively with three different bulls for 60 days to perfect the sequence. This level of dedication and commitment to authenticity is something that has won him praise from movie lovers across generations.
Marudhanayagam was a highly anticipated directorial project by Kamal Haasan that, unfortunately, remained unreleased. The film’s launch event, which had Queen Elizabeth II as the special guest, had caused a stir throughout the entire country. Despite the film not being completed, scenes like the bull riding sequence continue to showcase the actor’s extraordinary commitment to his craft.
