A President’s Medal for his first on-screen performance at the age of four, marked Kamal Haasan's arrival as a child prodigy and from then on, he has had a remarkable and distinguished career spanning over 64 years with over 232 films in six Indian languages. Long before he became the heartthrob of Tamil cinema, Haasan earned his stardom in the Malayalam film industry where he went on to star in over 40 films. He was equally successful in the Hindi and Telugu cinemas as well. His ‘Maro Charitra’, ‘Sagara Sangamam’ and ‘Swati Mutyam’ in Telugu shot him to superstardom and he went on to become a prominent name in Bollywood after the success of films like Ek Duje Ke Liye, Sadma and Saagar. He has acted in Kannada and Bengali films as well.
Shruti Haasan penned a heartwarming note for her father and wrote, "Ups & Downs, Laurels & Challenges. He's seen it all. But nothing can come between Ulaga Nayagan and his untiring effort to uplift the Industry. The Unparalleled Emperor for 6 decades is stepping into his 64th year in Cinema."
