With Kamal not being seen for quite a while, fans are awaiting two upcoming functions to catch a glimpse of him.

The first one is for the felicitation of veteran actress Manorama on 14 January. Kamal will be joined by Rajnikanth among others. Read reports from The Hindu, IndiaGlitz, Behindwoods and Tamil Star.

Manorama, of course, is a Guinness world record holder for acting in the maximum number of movies, now surpassing 1500! Kamal’s fondness and respect for her has been evident over the years, acting with her in various combinations, from Savaal to Apoorva Sagodharargal and from Michael Madana Kamarajan to Singaravelan. One tidbit here worth sharing here is something that I heard long before: Kamal possesses the rights to produce bio-pics of Manorama, Illaiyaraaja and Sivaji Ganesan.

The second is on 17 January, to celebrate the birth centenary of LV Prasad, another person whom Kamal had ties with.

Coincidentally, both functions will happen in the same venue, Chennai Trade Centre and will be presided by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi.
