My talent is my asset: Kamal
“I have no fear whatsoever about the so-called irregularities in my films. I know that I haven’t committed any mistake. The story is happening in Afghanistan and India. I wonder how the movie could disturb a nation’s unity. I don’t believe in religion or caste. My talent is my asset. I know to handle success and failure in a balanced manner. As a child, my associations with legends like Sivaji Ayya and MGR have taught me this,” remarked a visibly-disturbed actor Kamal Haasan on Wednesday about his film Vishwaroopam facing hurdle after hurdle.
The actor told mediapersons, “You may be wondering how I can still laugh and say all these. My family is like that. Money hardly matters for us. Though I was hurt when the judge asked if one man’s money is more important than the unity and integrity of the country, my father believed in humanity above all faith and had taught me not to hurt anyone’s sentiments. So, I shall now wait for the judgment in the afternoon.”
Apart from facing impediments in screening his magnum opus in the land of his birth — Tamil Nadu — Kamal has to worry about the debt that is looming large ahead of him as the delay in the release of Vishwaroopam is costing him monetarily also.
Kamal Haasan said he might lose his house and other properties.
“As the release gets delayed, the creditors will take possession of them. If it continues, even this house (Eldams Road) will go. I am not a sentimental person. Still, I have a lot of memories in this house — have learned dance, held innumerous press meets, here.”
Upset over the protest against the movie by religious groups, Kamal said he needed a secular place to live in. If not in Tamil Nadu, he would seek another state from Kashmir to Kerala or outside India. “Most of my fans are Muslims and I respect all of them. They are my brothers,” said an emotionally-charged Kamal.
