No birthday celebration for Kamal Haasan

The reason why Kamal Haasan is shunning any celebration is because he is "deeply hurt by the killing of Tamils in Sri Lanka".

"I beseech my fans to refrain from celebrations. An individual's birthday loses credence or importance when genocide is practiced in our neighbouring island with renewed vigour," the actor said in a statement in Chennai.


"Language, colour, creed and caste can no more be used as excuses for intolerance," he added.

Urging his fans to 'redirect' their energy and enthusiasm towards human compassion on his birthday, he said, "many are dying for a reason so unbelievably simple. They speak the same language Tamil, as I do. If my birthday can be used as a tiny fulcrum to leverage public opinion against this genocide, apart from the honour of gaining your love, I would have one more reason to be proud of my birth."

Kamal Haasan is presently working on his next film Marmayogi which will have him playing different roles and will feature a number of heroines.
