Padmashree Dr.Kamal Hassan (born November 7, 1954, in Paramakkudi, Tamil Nadu, India) is a highly acclaimed Indian film actor. His work is mainly based in the South Indian film industry, though not exclusively so; he has made and acted in movies in various other regional Indian languages.
Early life
Kamal was born into an Iyengar family to parents, Srinivasan and Rajalakshmi as the fourth and youngest child. His father gave all three of his sons the suffix of "Haasan" as a sign of his friendship to one Mr. Haasan. Kamal entered the film world as a child actor at the tender age of 6 in the film Kalathur Kannamma and has been associated with the film world since then. Kamal learnt the fine arts in his early years instead of school work. As a teenager, he started working as an assistant choreographer in movies and it was during this time that his long and fruitful association with notable Tamil film director, K. Balachander began.
Acting career
Kamal's acting career spans four decades. He is known in the Indian film industry for his talent and versatility -- he has capably played a diversity of characters in his films. He has appeared in movies made in six languages, including the four major South Indian languages - Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. His other forays were into the North Indian movie industry via Hindi and Bengali films.
He acted in commercialised films for a major portion of his career, but then moved away from the purely commercial ventures. He is also a trained playback singer and sometimes pens the lyrics for the soundtracks of some of his recent films. He is an able performer of the Bharatanatyam dance form. He had assisted in choreography early in his career.
