Strive
not to be a success, but rather to be
of value and that is Kamal |
|
If
elegance, panache, perfection, and
inimitability have to be composed
in a single word, the first choice
would be Kamal. The legend that
rules the Indian cinema for four
decades has turned another year
older today. It is Kamal’s
birthday and time for every movie
fan to take a look back at his breathtaking
career which everyone in the tinsel
town would yearn for.
The multi-faceted, multi-linguistic,
and multi-tasking Kamal started
his journey as a child artiste with
Kalathur Kannamma and his famous
song ‘Ammavum Neeye’
in the movie has become immortal.
Kamal is one actor – the only
- in the industry to experiment
time and again and enlighten the
industry with his evolution as an
actor and the latest technical know-how
in movie making.

He is every budding actor’s
godfather and actors sans his
influence are almost not available
in the industry. His display
case is spilling over with the
numerous awards and Kamal has
to turn down the Filmfare awards
nobly to pave way for others
to be able to get hold of the
same. This happened with other
awards as well, which exemplifies
that he is bored with the amazing
number of awards he has received
for his prowess.
There seems to be nothing that
can’t be accomplished
by Kamal onscreen. His numerous
roles including that of the
dwarf ‘Appu’ and
‘Avvai Shanmughi’
stand proof for this. Nobody
has any clue as to how Kamal
performed the character of the
dwarf Appu with all ease in
his Apoorva Sahodarargal.

Fans
club and Politics
Kamal is the only person in
the industry to embrace a clear
stand when it comes to politics.
He confessed that he has no
talents to be a politician and
that he will never join a political
party. Nevertheless, Kamal’s
multitude of fans is purely
derived out of his acting prowess.
Upon noticing his fans turning
himself into a living god abandoning
the jobs that support their
livelihood, Kamal took a bold
decision – unseen in Indian
movie scene – to transform
his fan clubs into welfare associations.
Under his effective leadership,
his resourceful associations
carry out social welfare activities
and conduct social awareness
every now and then.

Kamal
– the darling of Bollywood and
elsewhere
In
Bollywood, where the South is been
looked down at, only Kamal has the
ability to make the bigwigs yearn
to be cast in his movies. He is being
adored in the Hindi movie scene just
the way in Tamil. Besides, he has
his unique fan following in regional
languages such as Malayalam, Kannada,
and Telugu as well. His unbeatable
flair for those regional languages
made the fans recognize him as the
son of their soil. |

Navarasas
come with ease
Kamal
never seemed to have worried
about the outcome of his movies
at the box-office. He does not
stop experimenting either. Be
it a comedy or a serious role,
Kamal can don the role with
ease. His flair for comedy is
a matter of envy for most other
stars in the industry. The best
of his comic talent can be seen
in Michael Madana Kama Rajan.
While
his recently released Vettaiyadu
Vilayadu is received with mixed
results, the movie rewrote the
box office history in ‘A’
centers. The Kamal magic worked
again. With his upcoming Dasavatharam
portraying him in 10 different
roles, Kamal’s talent
will be at its best. |

Kamal
– the legend
Words lack when it comes to
praise Kamal and the ‘miles
to go before I sleep’
attitude of Kamal will keep
him going while earning all
the accolades. Let us hope we
will get to see more of the
different types of the monster
talent named Kamal in the years
to come.
If there is a better way to
Kamal and his screen presence,
please read through this song
from Vasoolraja MBBS…
