AVM Studios launched the careers of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.
Actor Kamal Haasan launched Makkal Needhi Miam at a public meeting in Madurai in 2018.
As the legendary actor turns 59 today November 7, we look at some of his finest films.
'With passage of time, Kamal did move away from the humdrum of commercial cinema, using it only as a peg to launch a new concept or new technology, as no other actor/film-maker has done in Indian cinema.' N Sathiya Moorthy assesses the career and politics of movie legend Kamal Haasan on his 70th brthday.
We look back at Kamal Haasan's childhood picture, as he turns 57.
Now, 48 years and innumerable awards later, the talented actor is taking on ten roles in his Tamil film Dasavatharam, which incidently was written by him and directed by K S Ravikumar.
The very timing of the Phalke Award on Rajini now, days ahead of Tamil Nadu voting in the assembly election, may have taken away the seriousness and credibility attaching to the Centre's decision, making it sound every bit political, observes N Sathiya Moorthy.
As the legendary actor turns 60 today, we look at his finest performances in the last six decades.
Kamal is the second Tamil actor after Sivaji Ganesan to be awarded this honour.
