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.

Comedy comes from a place of hurt. Charlie Chaplin was starving and broke in London, and that's where he got his character 'the tramp' from. It's a bad situation that he transformed into comedic one.

Chris Tucker

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.

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.

Suhasini Maniratnam

For an actor with his experience, Kamal Haasan's never shown a complacent 'Been there; done it' attitude.

Andrea Jeremiah

Kamal Haasan makes sure that his co-artists wear the safety gear when they perform stunts.

I was a great fan of Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy; they always inspired me.

Priyadarshan

'Hera Pheri' is inspired by 'Laurel and Hardy,' Charlie Chaplin. It is about humor of poverty.

Priyadarshan

Kamal Haasan is a huge talent.

Mani Ratnam

My idol growing up was Charlie Chaplin. I was obsessed with him. I mean, while other kids were watching Jim Carrey and the likes in the '90s, I was watching Charlie Chaplin films, because I was a bit of a geek. I became obsessed with this idea of physical comedy.

Josh Gad

Whether it's a very dramatic part or a comical role, I feel I need to create the same thing: a full-fledged, three-dimensional character that the audience can identify with.

Christopher Lloyd

Got a chance to work with amazing and finest directors like Priyadarshan, Anurag Kashyap, Imtiaz Ali, Meghna Gulzar, Vipul Shah, Dibakar Banerjee, Kamal Haasan, etc.

Walt Disney said everything he had ever accomplished was a result of Mickey Mouse. Mickey was Walt's alter ego and he was originally modeled after Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp character. So without Chaplin, who knows what Mickey would have become!

Bill Capodagli

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.

Jaideep Ahlawat

It's a great honour for me to be a part of a Kamal Haasan film.
