Actor turned politician Kamal Haasan is one of the most prolific names in Indian cinema ever since his entry as a lead star over 5 decades back. Having made his first big screen appearance as a child artiste in the Gemini Ganesan and Savitri starrer, Kalathur Kannamma, in 1959, the veteran has gone on to establish himself as natural-born star and has carved a niche for himself as a doyen of cinema by becoming one of the most looked-up to performers among aspiring actors. Now, Kamal Haasan is all set to take yet another major leap by announcing his digital platform debut, which has left many surprised.
