Kamal Haasan Instagram – Reposted from @rkfioffl Let me tell u why it matters ; Chaplin is somebody who unnerved me when I saw his films and made me question myself on my eligibility to become a filmmaker /film actor .All these questions throng me because apart from the massive work that he has done the halo around his head was blinding. Thanks to his daughter Ms. Geraraldine Chaplin who has done the greatest service to Chaplin and extended his longevity for at least another 100 odd years by creating a film using his leftover footage’s called ‘Unknown Chaplin’. As an artist the applause one gets confuses him as you become thirsty for more of that but that’s not good work as it’s merely an addiction. How do you space your applause ,your works and your income? Its a dichotomy that tears most of the actors apart, Heath ledger’s suicide comes from that. Guru Dutt’s suicide is for the same reason as he could have gone on to be a Mahaguru and I could have learnt under him.That’s my sadness and I am very angry with him even today. About MMKR; comedy is serious business. You must be willing to shed tears,sweat maybe even blood but the rest around you will be laughing. Ask a clown and he will tell you. The pratfalls are painful . The bat hits are with slit bats , yet it pains and remember the louder the noise the bigger the applause. Nothing is easy. Simply balancing on a ball will not get you enough applause, a dangerous trick will get the applause. Knowing all of these and yet to be there is bravery. #KHspeaks #InHone #KaHa #30yearsofMMKR
