KAMAL-Why I love him?

People close to me know that I love Kamal, people closest to me know why I love Kamal, very few know I worship him like God( there is an irony here that kamal being atheist is worshipped as god by me)
I dont rever him as God unlike many mass hero worships-let me state why is he so revered to me?

Finest actor in the country-even people who oppose him for some reasons would attest to that fact that acting and kamal are inseparable, one of the few followers of method acting in India, gives his life to the role.Be it sappani in 16 vayadinile or Kameswaran in MMKR-the variety of roles he has done and the histrionics is just amazing.Few in their prime acting career would sport a "komanam" in a movie and act as lead hero-he did so for the role.Acted in a movie with no songs-Kurudi Punal.Really acted in a movie with no dialogues-but everyone felt the movie because of his acting-Pesum Padam.Only guy to beat him to second place would be Sivaji which he himself accepts-thats humility for you.

Social Worker-You have actors using fans for their benefits-some trying to gain political mileage out of it, some disbanding them in total-some converting them to welfare organs recently-He was one of the first to convert his fans associations to social welfare organizations, fans distribute things to poor and needy during his birthday and donate blood-many of them have pledged their eyes for donation-He stands as a prime example by donating his whole body for medical research-one of the first to do so.He stands up for many social causes- be it Petral Dan Pillaiya or AIDS awareness.Income Tax department announces his name in the list of people who file their returns every year-rarity among actors, he is also one of the highest tax payers in the country.He also regularly features in advts to woo people to vote during elections.Rajini and Kamal are the only bankable actors who refuse to star in commercials sponsoring products for money-very laudable when you have people endorsing from oil to soap.

Good Friend- people who watched Kamal-50 program would know how many friends he has earned in filmdom which is very tough.He has uplifted many a people through his movies.Kadhala Kadhala was a movie which was announced during FEFSI strike and film workers were without work and pay for long and he acted in the movie during that time.Karan was an actor who got uplifted by him.Nagesh always got the best of the roles in Kamal's movies-be it a dead man in "Magalir Matum" or villain in Aboorva Sagotharagal, Avinashi in MMKR or the recent role in Dasavatharam-Nagesh retorted-:he is proud of his last movie-I am honoured-da Kamal". Sivaji was an actor who was not used past his prime-Many wasted him in tiny roles and killed him in 10mins to make way for stardom-100% people would know what a role Sivaji had in Devar Magan.What a chemistry between him and Kamal.Now a days we have all talking about chemistry between dancers-There was live chemistry between both.Very few would invest the money they earned in movies only into movies-other few being Nassar,Prakash Raj.It is different when you have people opening marriage halls,educational institutes- it takes more than courage to invest the money you earn back into industry.Produces many of his high risk movies on his own under RKFI banner-Magalir Matum,MMKR,Kurudi Punal.Some were flops but that did not deter this crusader to do more.

Few nuggets:

• Highest number of National Awards-4(including presidential child actor award)
• Highest number of movies nominated for Oscars
• Refused to list religion while enrolling his daughters
• Relishes Karimeen a kerala delicacy
• Loves banks of Rhine river in Germany
• Writes poetry well
• Recognized dance master
• Learnt workout secrets from MGR
• Keeps the letter KB wrote for him after 16 vayadinile as treasure
• Has a Hummer vehicle-very few in the country have

I know this is not an exhaustive list, but few out of the many I adore this fine human being named Kamal.
