Kamal Haasan – “Cinema is my happiness’

I am still looking cinema with daze. Cinema is filled with daze, thrill, perturb and happiness. On the day of my film’s release I will be seeing the face of the audience. The happiness and the cheerfulness on their face is real.

I actually wanted to work as a screenplay writer. Once when I went to Modern Theatres, I happened to see Kalaignar’s script. There were so many details and nuances in it. After seeing this I postponed this matter for another six years. There are lots of things to be forgotten by an actor. But in one matter they should be arrogant. You should not respect your earlier victory. I have no respect for myself. But I very often get perturbed.

I always take my early success has challenging. We should not be disturbed about failures. In cricket, if they lose, are they breaking their heads? They get ready for the next match. We should be like this. Nadigar Thilagam gave 13 continuous flops. If it was anybody else, they would not have survived. But his next 14th film ran for more than 200 days.Only he is capable of this.’
