Kamal Haasan wants to be referred to simply as Kamal Haasan, Kamal or KH. On Monday, taking to social media, the iconic actor who has always been fondly termed as Ulaganayagan by his Tamil fan base, urged fans, the media, colleagues, and supporters to refrain from using titles/prefixes for him.
His reasoning is that Art is above any individual. “I have always felt a deep sense of gratitude over being bestowed with endearing titles such as Ulaganayagan, among others. Such accolades, given by the people and recognised by esteemed colleagues and admirers, have always been humbling, and I have been genuinely moved by your love in conferring it upon me,” Kamal Haasan, known for massive blockbuster films like Vikram in recent times, wrote.

He added, “It is my humble belief that the artist must not be elevated above the art. I prefer to remain grounded, constantly aware of my imperfections and my duty to improve. Hence, after considerable reflection, I feel compelled to respectfully decline all such titles or prefixes.”
Kamal Haasan’s next theatrical release is Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam. It will hit the screens on June 5th, 2025. “Pioneer, Trailblazer, Mentor – words fail to capture your impact on Indian cinema and society. Our fearless leader always leading the way with his unmatched brilliance and vision for cinema,” the makers of the movie recently wrote, announcing the release date.
