Kamal Haasan, a name that epitomizes excellence in Indian cinema, needs no introduction. This multifaceted legend actor, writer, director, singer, editor, TV presenter, and politician has etched an indelible mark across the industry with his sheer versatility and relentless dedication. His journey began as a child artist in the 1960 Tamil film Kalathur Kannamma, for which he received the President’s Gold Medal. The breakthrough arrived with K. Balachander’s 1975 drama Apoorva Raagangal, positioning him as a formidable lead.

Early in his career, he also delivered career‑defining Telugu films like Maro Charitra, Swathimuthyam, and Sagara Sangamam, proving his pan‑Indian appeal.
