Veteran actor Kamal Haasan, who was recently chosen for the coveted French honour Chevalier award, has responded warmly to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's letter of appreciation.
"Thank you very much for your kind words on my Chevalier award. Some one remarked how nice of another state's head to lavish you with praise. I interjected he is not another state's CM. He is my state's CM. Ask any film going Malayalee which state I belong to," he said in a message to Vijayan.
Vijayan had congratulated the four-time National film award winner for being chosen for the French honour. 61-year Kamal Haasan is the second Tamil star after Sivaji Ganesan to be nominated for the honour. Haasan, who had debuted in the Malayalam film industry as a child artist in 'Kannum Karalum' in 1962, has essayed roles in various films including 'Satyavan Savithri', 'Kanyakumari', 'Madanolsavam' and 'Yaetta'.
