Kamal Haasan Marks 67 Years in Cinema, Calls Himself 'Oldest of Gen Z'PreviousNext

Veteran actor Kamal Haasan marked 67 years in Indian cinema, reflecting on his long career and calling himself the 'oldest of Gen Z in cinema.' He expressed gratitude to fans for their support and described about 20 of those years as his actual learning period, with the rest being a journey of experience. Haasan also noted the film industry's 130-year history since the Lumière brothers' first screening, highlighting his participation in more than half of that timeline.
