Khan Saheb Kamal Haasan's Jamaat/Jeba Koottam/Devasthaanam - Part 8

[app_engine]

For those who are not as dhArALam as SKV, some facts about Singeetham :

-He was born in 1931 (now 81) ; so, not "pet friend" but pretty senior to KH
-He won NA for a TF in 1974, years before KH became a mainstream hero (dhikkaRRa pArvathi based on Rajaji's story, *-ing Srikanth / Lakshmi)
-Of course majority of his works in TF had Kamal but he had achieved enough elsewhere without him (e.g. "mayoori" featuring the prosthetic legged dancer Sudha Chandran)

BTW, I don't think Ananthu had directed KH...(could be his buddy / wrote for the movies etc but never directed him IIRC).

Unlike SKV's attempt to not include SB, per that interview, he is also another buddy ("pet friend") to KH for 40 years or so.

Accordingly, Kamal values him. While HCKHF's don't care for him, may be because they feel KH should get 100% credit for what they consider as two of his best-ever films and that this SB fellow has "robbed" him of that.

Unfortunately, KH himself doesn't think so and there ends the story.
