Remembering his mentor on the 90th birth anniversary, Kamal Haasan took to his Twitter page and posted a rich tribute to the late veteran filmmaker.
Mr.K.Balachander. A mere name with fame that I heard as a teenager. Who would have thought he would take many roles in the life of an actor like me. Benefactor, mentor, collaborator, father & now when I think of his child like energy, I feel the pride of a father.
