'Once actors become senior, they may become repetitive and boring for the audience. Kamal sir is updated.'
The actor said the "clown's cap" was now being foisted on the head of Tamils and urged them to "erupt".

If you look at my photographs from the Sadma set, you will always find me with a file in hand, even when I am in my costume. While Kamal and Sridevi were diligent about their Hindi dialogue, Silk Smitha, while always respectful, was not too interested in her lines or my instructions.'
'I am also my own worst and most honest critic. I can say things which nobody will ever dare say.' Kamal Haasan in a no-holds-barred chat with Shobha Warrier.
'I thought either Rajnikanth or Kamal Haasan should do Papanasam. Rajni sir liked it but was not sure about how his fans would accept certain scenes, if he were to do it.

The reason he says is that "an individual's birthday loses credence or importance when genocide is practiced in our neighbouring island with renewed vigour."
The participation of the two veteran actors assumes significance in view of their recent statements suggesting that they could be joining politics.
The meeting has sparked speculation that the actor will join the Aam Aadmi Party.
The complaint has accused Haasan of hurting religious sentiments of the Hindus by making the "inflammatory and derogatory remark of Hindu terrorism".
The release of Kamal Haasan's 'Vishwaroopam' in Tamil Nadu has been deferred till January 28 by the Madras high court, which on Thursday declined to stay the two-week ban imposed by the state government on the film's screening.

EPS' acceptance of Amit Shah's proposal for an electoral alliance with the BJP is being interpreted to mean how the AIADMK has signed up the NDA national leader as a junior partner. Not many have appreciated EPS for this strategic move that has now forced the BJP to play second fiddle to the AIADMK. This has meant that the BJP has buried its ambitions of capturing power in Tamil Nadu now, and is willing to wait until after the 2029 Lok Sabha polls, observes N Sathiya Moorthy.
