Actor Trisha Krishnan and veteran star Kamal Haasan shared a light-hearted moment on stage in Dubai during an event that celebrated Trisha’s 25 years in cinema. As the host invited her to speak, Trisha turned to Kamal with a spontaneous compliment that left the audience smiling.

When the host asked Trisha if she had anything to say or ask Kamal, she didn’t hesitate. With a smile, she said, “Kamal sir, how are you always looking like this? So hot… so dapper. I mean, how do you do it? Everyone asks this, I think everyone here would’ve had that thought. He carries off anything and everything.”

Her candid praise caught Kamal off guard. The actor responded with wide eyes, a gracious smile, and a bow from his seat. He then broke into laughter, sharing the moment with fellow actor Sivakarthikeyan, who was also present at the event.

The exchange was all the more special as the two recently worked together in ‘Thug Life’. Directed by Mani Ratnam and co-written by Kamal Haasan, the gangster drama follows Rangaraaya Sakthivel, a Delhi mafia boss who takes in the son of a man killed in his gang’s shootout.

The film also starred Silambarasan TR, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sachit Murthy, Rajshri Deshpande, Abhirami, Ali Fazal, Sanya Malhotra, Joju George and Nassar.

On the work front Kamal Haasan is gearing up for his next big project, a high-octane action film tentatively titled ‘KH237’. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj with action choreography by Anbarivu, the movie is also expected to mark his reunion with Rajinikanth – their first on-screen collaboration in over 40 years.

Trisha, meanwhile, is set to appear opposite Suriya in ‘Karuppu’ and will also be seen in ‘Vishwambhara’, led by Chiranjeevi.
