Kannadasan

Kannadasan (born in 1927), the 'king of poets,' remains Tamil cinema's unparalleled lyricist a century after his birth. Despite a challenging start and a period of political activism, he found his true artistic calling in songwriting. His 5,000 film songs, known for their philosophical depth and popular appeal, continue to resonate across generations.

Popular lyricist and poet late Kannadasan's son Gopi did a cameo role in a famous Tamil television serial. Gopi was also handling the camera for television commercials and eventually grabbed his big-screen opportunity. He has played several notable roles in Tamil films, and one among them was his role in Vijay's 'Kaththi'. Now, Kannadasan's son Gopi made a shocking revelation in his recent interview with a popular magazine. Accordingly, he said that he was not allowed to act in 'Master' for demanding his salary arrears for 'Kaththi'.
