Kamal Haasan has often proven himself a bona fide Sakalakala Vallavan (master of all arts), showcasing his exceptional abilities as a director, screenwriter, playback singer, and lyricist, in addition to being an extraordinary actor, for which he is best known. In a career spanning almost 66 years, which began at the age of six, he has appeared in more than 230 films across Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Bengali. Although Kamal made his Hindi debut in Aaina (1974), it was the romantic tragedy Ek Duuje Ke Liye (1981) that earned him widespread fame in Bollywood. Interestingly, both movies were helmed by his mentor K Balachander. Kamal subsequently worked in several Hindi films, cementing his position in the industry. He later shared the screen with Bollywood’s “Shahenshah” Amitabh Bachchan in Geraftaar (1985), which also featured Rajinikanth in a cameo role.
