Kamal Haasan's Pesumpadam to get a re-release

Kamal Haasan's 1987 film, Pesumpadam/Pushpaka Vimana, is all set to have a re-release soon, the actor's production banner Raaj Kamal Films International, announced on Saturday. 

Helmed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao, the film was historic at the time of its release because it was a romantic dark comedy with no dialogue. The film revolves around an unemployed graduate who coincidentally encounters a rich unconscious man, and takes over his lifestyle by keeping him a prisoner. However, he is in for a twist as a contract killer is after him, assuming him to be the affluent man. 

Pesumpadam starred Samir Khakhar, Amala, Tinu Anand and K S Ramesh, apart from Kamal Haasan, in prominent roles. B C Gowrishankar cranked the camera for the film which featured editing by D Vasu and music by L Vaidyanathan. 

Pushpaka Vimana won the Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment at the 35th National Film Awards. The makers are yet to announce the date of the film's re-release.
