He has won hundreds of awards. In this situation, he entered the political arena and started a party called Makkal Neeti Maiam. In this situation, in the statement released by kamal haasan to the volunteers,
You call me by many endearing titles including 'Ulaga Naayagan' out of love for me. I am delighted with such words of appreciation given and accepted by fellow artists and fans; I am moved by your love. I am eternally grateful for your love. The art of cinema is bigger than any individual. I am a student who wants to learn more and evolve in the art, cinema like any other art is for everyone. cinema is created by the union of talented artists, technicians and good fans. It is my deep belief that the artist is not greater than the art. I am blessed to be someone who realizes that learning is the size of a handful and is a believer in continuous improvement. So after a lot of thought, I came to a conclusion. It is to renounce such titles and epithets as mentioned above so as not to cause any disrespect to those given them.
So, I have a request for all those who love me. In the future, I request my fans, media friends, people from the film industry, Makkal Neeti Maiam party workers, and fellow indians to refer to me as kamal haasan, Kamal, or KH. Thank you once again for the love you have shown me all this time. I hope you will understand that this request comes from the position of a fellow human being and from my desire to be one of all of us who love cinema.
