Kamal Haasan, a true legend of Indian cinema, has spent over 60 years in the industry, not only as a pioneering actor but also as an investor who supports the very industry that made him. Known for embracing new techniques and learning from global cinema, Kamal continues to inspire both fans and critics. Despite a few setbacks in his early career, his recent success with Vikram, which grossed over 400 crores, has proven his resilience. Now, his upcoming project Thug Life is expected to break new records at the box office.
On his birthday, the Thug Life team released a teaser video, which quickly became one of the most-viewed clips. Critics believe Kamal is poised to make up for his past losses and reshape the future of Tamil cinema.
But it's not just Kamal’s talent that sets him apart; it’s his deep concern for the people behind the scenes. Film critic shared a story from the shooting of Aalavanthan, where Kamal walked off the set in protest after witnessing crew members suffering under the scorching heat. Kamal had seen technicians and crew fainting under the harsh sun, with separate meals provided only to the actors and key crew. Outraged, Kamal insisted that proper care, including electrolytes and cooling food, be provided to all workers. Only after this was arranged did he return to the set.
Despite his status and pride, this act of humanity reflects Kamal's true nature as someone who values the well-being of his team.
