Actor Kamal Haasan remembers the late renowned writer MT Vasudevan Nair, acknowledging the massive role MT played in inspiring his love for cinema. Speaking to Mathrubhumi News, Kamal also expressed that MT's literary legacy would live on in the minds of people for many years to come.

“If my love and passion for cinema were a small lamp, it was the film Nirmalyam that turned it into a fire. As far as I am concerned, Satyajit Ray, MT Sir, Girish Karnad, and Shyam Benegal, though born in different places, are all brothers. It is not just MT who has succeeded, but also the Malayalis, the world of Malayalam literature, and cinema. MT Sir will live with us and beyond us for many more centuries through his literature. I do not want to say goodbye, Sir; Forgive me.”
