When it comes to the achievements and contributions of Kamal Haasan, the Ulaga Nayagan to the filmdom, there will not be two opinions. Talent, intelligence, sincere, dedication, perseverance and many such adjectives only superfluously describe the artist that Kamal is. In fact, it will not be an exaggerated statement to say that the generation that has known him is certainly a blessed one. Hence it is only natural to celebrate his fifty years in films. Vijay TV has been nominated to do this and is out to launch a spate of events in the next 6 weeks. The celebrations will witness many activities across the state. This exclusive event will be one of its kind ever attempted for any star and will be carried out in various phases.

An exclusive photo exhibition with rare photographs from Kamal Haasan’s life will be on display on this bus.
