Kamal is no newcomer to film festivals. Even in the 80s, I remember him frequenting the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), wherever it was held. But now he has grown to the stature of inaugurating such festivals.

He did just that for the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) in Thiruvanathapuram on December 7. As usual, he recounted his association with Malayalam cinema. He also invited Mohanlal, who was also present, to do a bilingual with him. Though the event received wide coverage, one yearns for more information in the form of photos or videos.
