When one hears the word “versatile” an image of Kamalhassan immediately
surfaces in our heads. In the Indian Cinema industry, Kamalhassan has become a
force to reckon with. He has carved a niche for himself and remains the
undisputed character actor and role model that any actor in the field would wish
to emulate. He can never be typecast or slotted by his acting or mannerisms
because of the various characters that he has enacted over the years. Tracing
his career graph from “Kalathur Kanamma” at the age of four which fetched him
the Presidents Gold Medal for best child artiste one can only see his meteoric
rise as an actor.
