Birthday specials, 2008
This year, Kamal’s birthday received more coverage than earlier years, possibly as a result of the post-Dasavathaaram hype.
Express Buzz carried a piece with messages from a few actresses he has starred with — Sneha, Shobhana and Devayani. A sample from the first one:
He’s a pure genius when it comes to acting. But imagine the humility it takes to actually come to a new, young actress, and ask her not to get intimidated by other big actors in the scene!
The same Web-site also carried another tribute.
Sify.com published a slideshow of his performances which deserved the National Award but didn’t make it, along with his filmography.
Rediff.com featured Kamal’s birthday as part of entertainment history. Yahoo! India and Indiaglitz published birthday messages, heaping praise on Kamal. Behindwoods carried a slideshow of his phases over the years.

THERE ARE RUMUORS GOING AROUND THAT DASA DID NOT MAKE HUGE PROFIT SINCE THERE IS MEDIA BLACKOUT ON THE ACTUAL PROFIT MADE AND THE FACT THAT DASA DID NOT MAKE IT TO HINDI DESPITE THE HUGE HYPE. HOPE SOMEBODY COULD CLARIFY.
