Bollywood Newshound Nisha here, with the latest scoop hot off the Bollywood press! 📰✨

So, gather ’round my fellow Bollywood aficionados, because today we’re diving deep into the treasure trove of memories with none other than the legendary Kamal Haasan. 🎬✨

Our dear Kamal, who has graced the Indian film industry with his jaw-dropping performances, recently got all misty-eyed reminiscing about the first time he laid his eyes on the one and only Dilip Kumar. Yes, you read that right! The man himself almost had tears in his eyes! Can you even imagine? 😲

During a chat (not with me, unfortunately) Kamal was asked about his inspirations. And what did he say? Well, according to him, the truest statement any Tamilian can make is that their cinematic universe began with Mr. Sivaji Ganesan. Quite the poetic declaration, if you ask me! 🌞

But here’s where it gets juicier. Kamal thought the world had just one sun in Mr. Sivaji until he discovered another blazing star in Dilip Kumar. Oh, the drama! Kamal admits that his geographical location on the southern tip of India delayed his discovery of Dilip Kumar. Can you imagine if he had found Dilip first? What a plot twist! 🌟

Talking about the legendary Dilip Kumar, Kamal gushed about how Mr. Kumar was way ahead of his time—so international, darling! Kamal mentioned that due to some political shenanigans, Hindi films were a rare commodity, which is why he caught up on Dilip’s work much later. But when he did, boy, did it strike him like a thunderbolt! ⚡

And get this—during one of their conversations, Kamal told Dilip he had seen "Ganga Jumna." Dilip, with all his legendary charm, seemed puzzled, probably wondering if Kamal was pulling his leg. But Kamal, being the sincere fanboy, quickly clarified that he was merely catching up on Dilip’s brilliance. Classic Kamal! 🎥

Kamal also revealed his annual pilgrimage to Dilip Kumar’s house every December, where he would kneel and kiss the great man’s hand. Talk about devotion! Clearly, Kamal was a die-hard fan before he ever became a film star.

And for all you Kamal fans out there, mark your calendars! His upcoming film ‘Indian 2,’ known as ‘Hindustani 2’ in Hindi, is set to release worldwide on the 12th of July, 2024. Get ready for some cinematic magic! 🍿✨

Nisha’s Nutshell:

Even legends have their legends! Remember, in Bollywood, the sun might set, but the stars keep dazzling forever! 🌟
