Take a closer look at this photo. You’ll spot our country’s first Vice President, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, but did you know the young boy beside him is now a famous star hero? Can you guess who he is?
Old celebrity photos often go viral on social media, leaving people amazed and questioning if it's really them. This particular photo features our first President, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, alongside a young boy who has since become a prominent senior star hero.
An old photo of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan is currently going viral on social media, featuring a South Indian star hero alongside him. The boy in the photo, who began his career as a child artist, has grown into one of India’s most celebrated actors, captivating audiences with his remarkable performances in hundreds of films.
Yes, that boy is none other than Kamal Haasan. On the occasion of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's birth anniversary, several photos of Kamal Haasan went viral on social media, including this nostalgic image. As a child actor during the time of our first President, Kamal Haasan earned the President's Medal for his acting, adding a special touch to this memorable photo.
Kamal Haasan, still a hero at 70, began his career as a child artist. He made a notable impression alongside Savitri, playing her son in the film Kalathur Kannamma at just four years old. His exceptional performance in the film earned him the President's Medal.
President Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan personally awarded the medal to Kamal Haasan for his outstanding performance. Recently, however, Kamal Haasan's films have struggled at the box office. His latest film, Indian 2, directed by the renowned Shankar, failed to live up to expectations and was deemed a disappointment by fans, especially following the success of Vikram.
The film Kalki, in which Kamal Haasan played the villain opposite Prabhas, was a massive hit. Kamal's portrayal of Supreme Yaskin earned widespread acclaim, even though his role was relatively brief. Reports suggest that Kamal Haasan will have a more powerful and significant role in the sequel to Kalki.
