Vignesh Shivan gives a sneak peek of Kamal Haasan working on Tamizh Mann

Director Vignesh Shivan has been receiving a number of accolades for his latest work, Tamizh Mann 2, which was a tribute to the freedom fighters from Tamil Nadu. The show was staged in Chennai during the grand finale of the 44th International Chess Olympiad yesterday. Just like the show on Tamil heritage during the inaugural, this one too had voiceover by none other Kamal Haasan. The project is also said to be a tribute to the freedom fighters on the occasion of the 75th Independence Day.

Vignesh Shivan, today, took to his social media page to thank everyone who were part of the project. He also gave a sneak peek into how Kamal Haasan worked with him on the project from Chicago, US, where he is busy with the prep work for his upcoming film Indian 2.
