Kamal Haasan says no to all titles including Ulaganayagan: I decline all prefixes

Actor, on Monday, penned a lengthy note where he requested his fans to simply address him by his name.

In a post on X, Haasan expressed his gratitude for the affectionate titles he has received, including “Ulaganayagan.” However, he humbly declined to accept any such titles or prefixes, stating that he sees himself as a lifelong student of the art of cinema.

The actor wrote, “Vanakkam, I have always felt a deep sense of gratitude over being bestowed with endearing titles such as Ulaganayagan, among others. Such accolades, given by the people and recognized by esteemed colleagues and admirers, has always been humbling, and I’ve been genuinely moved by your love in conferring it upon me. The art of cinema transcends beyond any one individual and I am but a student of the craft, forever hoping to evolve, learn and grow. Cinema, like any other form of creative expression, belongs to all. It is the collaboration of countless artists, technicians, and audience who make it what it is — a true reflection of humanity’s diverse, rich, and ever-evolving stories.”

The ‘Chachi 420’ actor added, “It is my humble belief that the artist must not be elevated above the art. I prefer to remain grounded, constantly aware of my imperfections and my duty to improve. Hence, after considerable reflection, I feel compelled to respectfully decline all such titles or prefixes.”

“I humbly request that all my fans, the media, members of film fraternity, party cadre, and fellow Indians, to here on after, refer to me simply as Kamal Haasan or Kamal or KH. Thank you again for your gestures of kindness over the years. Please know that this decision comes from a place of humility and a desire to remain true to my roots and purpose, to always be one among all of us, the lovers of this beautiful artform,” Kamal concluded his note.

On the professional front, Kamal Haasan will next be seen in the upcoming movie “Thug Life” which is slated to hit theatres on June 5, 2025. Helmed by Mani Ratnam, the upcoming gangster drama is co-produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies. The film also features Silambarasan TR, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Abhirami, and Nasser.

PK Fans Angry, Posani In Trouble

Just a couple of days back, the government of Andhra Pradesh instigated police action against filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma. The complaint is that Varma had earlier shared multiple morphed pictures of Chandrababu, Lokesh and Brahmani.

Today, it is the turn of another filmmaker, Posani Krishnamurali to face the heat from the AP police department.

Incidentally, Janasena followers, primarily Pawan Kalyan’s fans complained against Posani at the Rajahmundry police station about the derogatory posts that the actor had shared in the past.

Rajahmundry police have now received a complaint in writing from Pawan’s fans that Posani had made several objectionable and offensive statements against Pawan and his family in the past. The police promised to take sufficient action against Posani for his misdeeds in the past. A

s it appears, it is a matter of time before Posani comes under the radar, and so does RGV for their earlier actions against the NDA leaders while Jagan was the CM. The new NDA government in AP is evidently going super hard against these YCP supporter wing in the Telugu film industry.
