Kamal Haasan (born 7 November 1954 as Parthasarathy), also spelled as Kamal Hassan, is an Indian film actor, screenwriter, director, producer, playback singer and lyricist who primarily works in Tamil cinema. Kamal has won several film awards including three National Film Awards and nineteen Filmfare Awards. His production company, Rajkamal International, has produced several of his films.
After a few projects as a child artist, Kamal's breakthrough as a lead actor came in the 1975 drama Apoorva Raagangal, in which he played a rebellious youth who falls in love with an older woman. He won his first National Film Award for his portrayal of a guileless schoolteacher who cares for a childlike amnesiac in Moondram Pirai (1983). He was noted for his performances in Mani Ratnam's Nayagan (1987) and Shankar's vigilante film Indian (1996), which saw him playing dual roles of a father and a son. Since then he has appeared in a number of films including Hey Ram (2000), Virumaandi (2004), Vishwaroopam (2013) which were his own productions and Dasavathaaram (2008) in which he played ten different roles.
Kamal was awarded with the Kalaimamani in 1979, the Padma Shri in 1990, the Padma Bhushan in 2014 and the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Chevalier) in 2016.
