That Kamal Haasan is playing multiple roles in his forthcoming venture 'Viswaroopam' and one of them is that of an Afghanistan-based terrorist is no more an open secret. But the big secret is that how the project is shaping up.

Besides playing the lead role, Kamal himself is directing and producing the movie, which is said to be made on a budget of Rs 120 crore. At present, select members of the movie's cast and crew are in the United States to shoot some important scenes.

"Kamal has shot some high voltage action sequences besides some romantic scenes in the US. The schedule in the United States is getting over today (January 20). He is giving nothing but his best to the movie," a source tells us.

Music for 'Viswaroopam' is being composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Kamal is being assisted in the making of the film by his younger daughter Akshara Haasan, who is very much interested at film making. "Plans are on release the movie for summer this year," the source adds.
