Kamal Haasan is hailed as the encyclopedia of cinema who has inspired several generation of not only actors but filmmakers too. At the age of 68 he still gives much younger superstars a run for their money and most recently delivered 'Vikram' the second most successful film in Tamil cinema history.

Critically acclaimed Malayalam filmmaker Alphonse Puthren of 'Neram' and 'Premam' fame has been expressing his admiration for the Ulaganayagan on social media for several months now. At one time Kamal even replied to him regarding his request to start a masterclass in filmmaking.

Alphonse who recently gave fans a different movie going experience with 'Gold' starring Prithviraj and Nayanthara has shared the good news that he met his idol. He wrote on Twitter sharing a pic with Kamal "Met the Mount Everest of Cinema Ulaganayagan
@ikamalhaasan for the first time in my life. Fell on his feet and took his blessings. Heard nearly 5 to 6 small plots of cinema from his mouth…I took small notes in a span of 10 minutes with a pen in my writing book."

Alphone Puthren added "For him as a Master it was his experiences he shared… but as a student I was scared whether I would miss out any of the content he told. Thank you Universe for this and thank you Mr.Mahendiran & Mr. Disney from @RKFI for this Unbelievable & Surreal and Beautiful experience."

Kamal Haasan is currently hosting 'Bigg Boss Tamil 6' and also simultaneously shooting for Shankar's 'Indian 2' produced by Lyca Productions. He will be shooting for Mani Ratnam's 'KH 234' later this year. Has Alphonse Puthren joined the list of younger generation directors such as H. Vinoth, Pa. Ranjith and Vetrimaaran who are likely to work with Kamal soon? We will know for sure in the coming days. Stay tuned.
