Kamal Haasan's many talents

Kamal Haasan is one actor who has acted in all the south Indian languages as well as in Hindi and Bengali.

As we await his Tamil blockbuster, Dasavathaaram, we cast a glance at some of his important Kannada and Telugu films:

Kokila (1977)

Kamal was paired opposite National award winner, late Shobha (she committed suicide at a very young age) in Balu Mahenadra's first film.

Mohan, who later became a successful hero in Tamil, made his debut in the film in a supporting role.

Kamal's chaplinesque mannerisms also started with this film.

Though made on a medium budget, Kokila went on to become a big success at the box office. It also won a national award for Balu Mahendra.
