Book Description
From the Jacket:

Kamalahasan began his journey as a child artist in Kalathur kannamma. Since then, he has worked in over two hundred films and won umpteen awards. In spite of having been exposed to formal education only till standard IX, Kamal is a creative genius. A superb dancer, a brilliant actor, and an original writer cum director, Kamal excels in all aspects of filmmaking. Fiercely proud of his Tamil identity, and extremely protective of his colourful personal life, Kamal knows how to put in that extra bit in order to give a stellar performance and make even the most insipid characters come alive.

Lights, camera, action - presenting the inimitable Kamalahasan.
