One of the most impactful actors in Indian cinema, Kamal Haasan, made an emotional appeal to his fans, the media, and public. Known originally for the innovative filmmaking he was known to display, and the creativity he has been accused of breaching, Kamal Haasan today thanked the love and respect he has received over decades because of titles such as “Ulaganayagan.”
However, in one of his latest posts in social networking sites, Kamal Haasan piously came forward to tell everybody that cinema was a collaborative art form, and no man is greater than the art itself. He requested he be referred to merely as “Kamal Haasan, “Kamal, ” or simply “KH” as he remains humble, learning evermore, so deeply connected to his roots and his cinematic family.
It is akin to the time actor Ajith requested people and the media in 2021 to lay off the title of “Thala” and address him by his name. It will be interesting to see whether Kamal Haasan’s fans and media do the same for him as well.
