Both the directors will be seen together onscreen for the first time in Uttama Villain
Chennai:
Ace Telugu filmmaker K Vishwanath, who has always admired films made by K Balachander over the years, says he's extremely happy to be working with him in Tamil comedy Uttama Villain featuring superstar Kamal Haasan.
"In our heyday, Balachander and I always wanted to spend time on each other's film sets. We wanted to learn from each other but it never happened because we were extremely busy back then. I'm glad we are now working together in a film," Vishwanath told IANS.

Vishwanath and Balachander have made some brilliant films with Mr Haasan over the years such as Sagara Sangamam, Swati Mutyam, Arangetram, Aval Oru Thodar Kathai and Apoorva Raagangal.
"Kamal convinced us and brought us on board. We enjoyed shooting with actors of this generation," he added.
The film's shooting has almost been wrapped up but for some patch work. It is slated to release in September.
