“MSV has blended into Tamizh cinema history inseparably,” says Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan, who has been a staunch fan of MSV, has registered his condolences in his official statement. “MSV has blended into Tamizh cinema history inseparably. He is part of Tamil and south Indian cultural tapestry. MSV has become the back ground score for many people’s lives. They nostalgically recount their own life with his music playing in their minds,” says Kamal. 

“MSV has fans beyond his own generation and time. A good example is Shruti my daughter. She was studying music in the USA and on her return wanted to meet Mr. MSV for she had become his fan. Fame rested ever so gently on his shoulders and he often brushed his own fame and glory aside to celebrate other artistes irrespective if their age. We will only miss him in his physical for. His music will stay on.  I am thankful to him for enriching my life with his music,” Kamal added in his official statement.
