Though Superstar is the actor who reigns above the fellow actors in several aspects including popularity and box office success, he has affirmed many times without any airs that he is a Kamal fan. Thalaivar has once again proved that he doesn't even know what is the meaning of ego. I wonder why Kamal didn't turn up for Sivaji premiere...If success is destined to you, nobody can stop it!
My best wishes for Dasavatharam team....
