If we had to choose one person on this planet who is truly and passionately committed to cinema, we would, without a second thought, pick Kamal Haasan, one of Kollywood's biggest stars, who has also appeared in films shot in other languages of India.

Haasan has been part of the screen culture since the 1960s and has tried on many roles related to filmmaking. He is a director, producer, screenwriter, choreographer, singer and showman. But above all, he is an actor.

His dedication to cinema and undeniable talent has been rewarded with eternal fan love, numerous accolades and of course a huge filmography. If you are wondering exactly how many movies the legendary actor has in his resume, get ready to be blown away.

Kamal Haasan has starred in 223 cinema and television projects. That's an average of four movies a year since his very first film Kalathur Kannamma, in which the actor appeared at the age of five! Imagine a life filled with constant movie making, red carpet premieres and award nominations.

Why is Kamal Haasan so popular?

There is a reason why Haasan is so loved by the audience and the film fraternity. And we are not talking about the trademark mustache (although it certainly has its own small army of fans). He is an extremely versatile actor who is never afraid to take on challenging roles, moving seamlessly between comedies, action films and thrillers.

Even more impressive is Haasan's knowledge of cinema as a whole. He is an expert in technical aspects, cinematography, business, politics and everything else you can think of when it comes to filmmaking. From prosthetic make-up to AURO 3D sound technology, Kamal Haasan has been the first to use multiple innovations in Indian films. What a legend!

Is Kamal Haasan going to retire?

Of course, with this level of dedication, Kamal Haasan's huge army of fans want him to stay on the filming sets for years to come. However, they are worried that the 69-year-old actor might want to retire to focus on his political career, which is currently in full bloom.

Back in 2018, Haasan confirmed these fears when he said that Indian 2, which is currently running in theaters around the world, would be the final film of his career. Since then, however, the actor has been cast in at least six more projects, so it looks like he has changed his mind, much to the delight of Kollywood fans everywhere.

After all, no one can retire from his own life. And for Kamal Haasan, cinema will always be his life.
