It was a proud moment for Tamil cinema and Kamal Haasan himself when news broke out that the actor will receive Chevalier de L'Ordre Arts et Letters, an honour of the highest order from the French government.
Ever since this news came to light, celebs have been rushing to meet the Ulaganayagan and congratulate him for his achievement. It included Vishal and Karthi, who also represent the Nadigar Sangam, a powerful film union in Tamil Nadu. Other felicitators included actors like Suriya who came along with his father Sivakumar, director KS Ravikumar and his wife, veteran actor Prabhu and many others.

Kamal's daughter Shruti Haasan was also present as she shared this joyous moment with her father. The Nadigar Sangam plans to host a big ceremony for this incredible achievement. With this honour, Kamal joins the league of his mentor, late legendary actor Sivaji Ganesan, who was also conferred with this coveted title back in the day.
