New Delhi:
Kamal Haasan, who worked with Shah Rukh Khan in Hey Ram, paid an emotional tribute to the superstar, calling him a connoisseur of art.
Kamal Haasan, while talking about his working relationship with Shah Rukh Khan during the promotions of ‘Indian 2’, said, “I don’t see a superstar in Shah Rukh Khan and he doesn’t see a super director in me. We are friends. He made that film for free. This is not something a superstar can do, only a fan can do. He is a connoisseur of art and a good actor. I will always be grateful to him. We don’t see all this. Later you (media) give us the headlines and we accept it very shyly.”
Kamal Haasan also shared poignant details about his professional relationships and the impact of Indian audiences on his career.
He said, “I was just a South Indian actor; you people made me an Indian actor. When I was doing my first film, I didn’t know a single word of Hindi, I was exactly what I was.” Made for each other I was the biggest hero and without your support and applause I wouldn’t have been able to get back on this stage.
