Haasan’s career is adorn with three National Awards, a Padma Shri, a Padma Bhushan, and the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, among other honors. His career further began at a young age, with his debut as a child artist in the Tamil film ‘Kalathur Kannamma’. Inspired by the 1960 Chinese film ‘Nobody’s Child’, ‘Kalathur Kannamma’ earned the Certificate of Merit from the Government of India, marking the beginning of Haasan’s celebrated career.

However, Haasan’s impact on cinema is evident in his diverse filmography. His role in the silent black comedy ‘Pushpaka Vimana’ showcased his ability to captivate audiences without dialogue. In ‘Sadma’ (1983), despite Sridevi’s dominating performance, Haasan’s impactful portrayal in the final moments of the film left a lasting impression.

The actor’s versatility is further highlighted in ‘Chachi 420’, a remake of the Tamil film ‘Avvai Shanmughi’, where he excelled in physical comedy and character transformation. His role as a man disguising himself as a woman to be closer to his daughter is a testament to his exceptional talent.
