Kamal Haasan

Soon afterwards, the media reported that another of his co-stars, Gouthami, living in his house. He has also directed films. They have two teenage daughters and their marriage lasted until 2002, when media attention to his relationship with the young actress Simran resulted in their separation. He made a cameo appearance as a rock band's manager in the Pink Floyd film The Wall, where his one-word expletive exclamation was the film's only dialogue. Kamal then married Sarika. He takes it to the lavatory to read, and if it's an enthralling script, his buttocks will have gone cold due to the time elapsed. He married Vani Ganapathy, another actress, but they divorced almost immediately when Sarika, his co-star in the movie Tic, Tic, Tic claimed that she was pregnant with his child. Hoskins is known for his "cold bum test" which he uses whenever he receives a new script.

In his early years, he was much spoken about for his relationship with Sri Devi, a famous actress of that time. He has also appeared in Super Mario Bros. (1993), which was considered a flop. Like many actors, his personal life has been the subject of media gossip. His performances in British films such as The Long Good Friday (1980) and Mona Lisa (1986) won him the approval of the critics and, in the case of the latter, an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He was the first Indian actor to promise that he won't act in smoking scenes in movies. He hit the big time in 1978 when he starred in Dennis Potter's successful BBC drama serial, Pennies From Heaven. Along with his daughter, Kamal has donated his eyes and also offered his body for research after his death, the first Indian celebrity to do so. Born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, Hoskins had a number of occupations before going into acting, and made his stage debut in 1969.

Though born to an affluent Iyengar family, he denied his caste identity. Robert William "Bob" Hoskins (born October 26, 1942) is a British actor who specialises in playing Cockney rough diamonds and/or gangsters and in family films such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988). Kamal is the first actor to turn his fan club into a service organization. Some of his movies, especially Anbe Sivam (Love alone is god), have put forward his atheistic views. He is a self-professed rationalist, atheist, activist, and a follower of Periyar.

His unfinished projects include Maruda Naayagam. Both "Virumandi" and "Vasool Raja" were successes. Kamal Hassan renamed his recent venture Sandiyar to Virumandi owing to a protest from a community in Tamil Nadu. He then gave a stunning performance in "Vasool Raja M.B.B.S", a remake of Vidhu Vinod Chopra's "Munnabhai M.B.B.S". He wrote screenplays for several of his films and ventured into film direction with Hey Ram, a film depicting the conflict between revolutionaries and proponents of non-violence during the Indian independence movement.

He has also involved himself in film production. Seven of his movies have been sent as India's official entry to the Oscars, more than any other person. He has also received the best actor award at the Asian Film festivals held in 1983 and 1985 for Saagara Sangamam and Swathi Muthyam, respectively. He is a three time winner of the Indian National award for best actor, for the films Nayakan, Moonram Pirai, and Indian.

He has played a wide range of characters including a ventriloquist, an under-world don, a freedom-fighter, a classical dancer, a blind violinist, a dwarf clown, and a mentally challenged man. Besides Tamil, he has also performed in movies in the Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada languages. Balachander's Telugu hit Maro Charithra. However, he got his break with K.

16 Vayathinile, in which he co-acted with Rajinikanth, established him as a popular actor. He made his screen debut with the Tamil movie Kalathur Kannamma at the age of 5. Kamal Haasan (born November 7, 1954) is an Indian movie star working mainly in the Tamil film industry.
