Kamal Haasan's Uttam Villain wins best film at Los Angeles Independent Film Festival

Kamal Haasan’s 2015 tragi-comedy Tamil film Uttam Villain about a terminally ill actor, has scored big at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival last week. The film has won Best Film, Best Actor for Kamal Haasan, Best Music for Ghibran and Best Sound Design for Kunal Ranjan. [caption id=“attachment_2493450” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Kamal Haasan. Firstpost/Naresh Sharma](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Kamal-Hassan_Naresh-Sharma-2.jpg) Kamal Haasan. Firstpost/Naresh Sharma[/caption] Kamal Haasan is more surprised than delighted. Speaking to Firstpost, he reveals, “We never expected to win anything. Because we never gave it any attention. We knew this was a major festival for independent films. But I was busy completing Thoongavanam and the rest of my team was also occupied with it.We just sent Uttama Villain to Los Angeles and forgot it.I didn’t have the time to even think about attending personally.” When the news of the triumph reached Kamal Haasan he was busy with the release of his latest Tamil thriller Thoongavanam. “This is what comes from being a workaholic. You don’t get to enjoy your victories. But the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival means a lot for our film. Only independent films are eligible. For my studio Raj Kamal Films International, that’s a huge triumph, struggling as we are to survive and not to be swallowed by the big corporate production houses," adds Hassan.
