Kamal Haasan started his remarkable career in filmmaking as a child performer in Kalathur Kannamma, receiving a meager ₹500 for his first paycheck. His ascent has been nothing short of legendary ever since. He became the first indian actor to earn ₹1 crore for a single film in 1994 after rising through the ranks of fame over the years. He has reportedly received up to ₹100 crore for a movie in recent years.
Kamal now assumes a completely different position: that of a tamil Nadu representative in the Rajya Sabha. The renowned actor will be paid by the indian government for the first time in his life. And even though it might not seem like much in comparison to his movie salaries, this position offers something far more valuable: the ability to shape public policy and bring up pressing issues in the country's highest legislature.
