It’s Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan’s 70th birthday, and fans and well-wishers across the globe are showering him with wishes and posts dedicated to the Tamil cinema icon. The Kollywood legend, who is celebrating his milestone birthday on November 7, has been receiving countless heartwarming messages from celebrities across industries. From Malayalam superstar Mohanlal to Kanguva star Suriya, here’s how Indian actors have expressed their admiration for the veteran star:

Mohanlal

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, who has shared the screen with Kamal Haasan in just one film — Unnaipol Oruvan — took to his social media pages to write a heartfelt note. He wrote, "Happy Birthday, dear Kamal Haasan sir! May this year bring you even greater success and joy as you continue sharing your artistry, creativity, and dedication with the world. @ikamalhaasan"

For the unversed, Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal, two living legends of Indian cinema, collaborated on the 2009 Tamil film Unnaipol Oruvan. Interestingly, the film’s music was composed by Kamal Haasan’s daughter, singer-actress Shruti Haasan. The two legends later collaborated on the ZEE5's anthology series Manorathangal,  which was narrated and presented by Kamal Haasan.

Mammootty

Malayalam megastar Mammootty took to his handles to write a sweet birthday note for Kamal Haasan that read, "Happy Birthday Dear @ikamalhaasan. Wishing you another successful year filled with joy, prosperity and good health." The two have worked in MT Vasudevan Nair's anthology series Manorathangal but are yet to share screen space together.

Suriya

The Kanguva star, who has been tirelessly promoting his upcoming film, recently took a moment during an event in Kerala to express his admiration for Kamal Haasan and also wished the iconic star. During his speech, Suriya said, "In 2008, after completing Varanam Aayiram, I went to Kamal sir to show him my work. He is 20 years older than me, yet at that time, he was working on Dasavatharam, speaking eight languages, and continuing to learn. Kamal sir has shown us that climbing to success is easy, but taking every step with dedication is crucial. He has set an example for all creators and artists, from North to South. He should be with us for a long time. A very happy birthday to Kamal sir. Every effort he made has paved the way for Tamil cinema’s growth.” The two stars previously worked together in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s 2022 blockbuster film Vikram.

Sivakarthikeyan

The Amaran star Sivakarthikeyan, whose latest war biopic was bankrolled by Kamal Haasan, shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the two of them from the Amaran sets. He captioned it, "Wishing the commanding officer of #Amaran, @ikamalhaasan sir, a great birthday. Thank you for this incredible movie, sir."

Shruti Haasan

Kamal Haasan’s daughter, singer-actor Shruti Haasan, penned a heartfelt birthday note for her 'Pa'. "Happy birthday, Appa. You’re a rare gem, and walking by your side is one of my favorite things to do in life. I know you don’t believe in God, but you’ll always be His/Her chosen child. I’m always so excited to see all the magical things you do. Here’s to many more birthdays and dreams coming to life. Love you so much, Pa," the actress wrote.
