I grew as an actor just by watching Kamal Haasan acting. I had the good fortune of being able to observe Kamal Haasan from close quarters.
Everyone's amazed by the question that how did I succeed as an actor in the industry, which has Kamal Haasan? It's because I grew as an actor watching Kamal's acting.
Kamal Haasan makes sure that his co-artists wear the safety gear when they perform stunts.
When Kamal Haasan did 'Nayakan,' he had done a few roles that had him aged and demanded a lot of commitment from. He was already a veteran and a master.
After my experience working with Kamal Haasan sir, the 'Aval' team was the most professional and well-planned group I've come across. They were so meticulous that I completed my portions in just 22 days!
There is an unrealistic pressure to perform like Kamal Haasan, and it's unnatural, because he's been in the industry for so many years, I don't even take the comparisons seriously.
Often our onscreen personas are different from who we are. Actors like Kamal Haasan, who is such a genius, has never played a role close to what he is in real life.
Kamal Haasan is a huge talent.
Kamal Haasan got inspired by his brief appearance in a role similar to Charlie Chaplin in 'Punnagai Mannan' and developed that into a full-fledged character in 'Apoorva Sagodharargal.'
While Anurag Kashyap is a very chilled out guy and let his actors pitch in with their ideas, Kamal Haasan is an encyclopedia in himself. Merely listening to him enriches one so much.
It's a great honour for me to be a part of a Kamal Haasan film.
I'm not a Kamal Haasan or a Sivaji Ganesan, I know I'm Vijay Antony.
Movies are truly in Kamal Haasan's blood in every sense of the term.
Politics is too big a game to feel the absence of a Kamal Haasan.
I was a huge Kamal Haasan fan, but not really a die-hard wackadoo.
Over the years people would ask me which co-star have you been a fan of or admired. I have always said Rishi Kapoor and Kamal Haasan. They are my two co-stars from whom I have really learnt a lot. I have been a great fan of both of them.
