Whatever I learnt was outside the walls
Srinivasan, wanted his sons (Chandrahasan, Charuhasan, Kamal Haasan) and daughter to focus on their studies. But while his brothers went on to study law, Haasan became a dropout. “Whatever I learnt was outside the walls. I learnt everything on my own and by asking questions,” he told the students at IIT. This school dropout now speaks eight languages —
- Tamil,
- Telugu,
- Malayalam,
- Kannada,
- Hindi,
- Bengali,
- French and
- English.
Now He Does This
First time in the history of world cinema, a film will hit DTH prior to the theater release.
