Henri Langloise award for Kamal Haasan

Henri Langloise award for Kamal Haasan in Paris, France.

Awards and Honours are not new for Kamal Haasan. The legendry actor was honoured once again with another award. The Ulaganyagan has been awarded with the prestigious  “Henri Langloise” award in Paris, France.

The Henri Langlois Award ceremony is typically organized by the French National Commission for UNESCO, and the International Meeting of Cinema Heritage at the UNESCO House in Paris every year.

Henri Langlois [1914 - 1977] was a French film archivist and cinephile. A pioneer of film preservation, Langlois was an influential figure in the history of cinema. In 1974, Langlois received an honorary Academy Award for “his devotion to the art of film, his massive contributions in preserving its past and his unswerving faith in its future.”

Sharing this news with his fans in twitter, Kamal  Haasan tweeted  “Received the Henri Langloise award in Paris . Wish Ananthu sir my guru had been alive to hear this. Heard of Langloise only through him”.

No wonder why he is called the Ulaga Nayagan. We are sure that there are a lot more international recognitions waiting for the universal hero, which are in long due.

Congrats UHKH
