Let him mortgage his properties...
Let his movie suffers with heavy loses from some superstitious religious people..
Let his ideology be futile by a group of people..
Let 'secular' India becomes non-secular for him...
Let he takes many pains as a director, producer and actor...
Let him become a pawn in a cunning political game....
Ultimately.... one of the greatest actors of the world, Kamal Haasan, won the hearts of millions of people. People from Kashmir to Kanyakumari responded favorably for his 'Viswaroopam'. They showed their affection on him in different ways. What else a man needs except the love of his fellow beings? In that sense, Kamal Haasan gained a lot from his 'Viswaroopam'.
PS: In the entire scenario, one person seems to be emerged as the real villain of entire 'cinema' and no wonder if you guess she is Jayalalitha, the CM of Tamil Nadu. You get full marks.
