Kamal Haasan Vs Naseeruddin Shah

Like it or not but before the arrival of the film ‘Eenadu’ it was often said that Kamal Haasan and Naseeruddin Shah belonged to the ivy league of actors. They were unique by their own traits and gave several mind blowing performances over the past few decades much to the delight and hangover of the audience.

However, now a situation has arrived when both of them are being compared with each other. Thanks to the film ‘Eenadu’, remake of ‘A Wednesday’ the Bollywood flick which had Naseer in the lead.

Now, many have been comparing both movies and more than that, the performances by both the veterans. There has been a significant group which said that Naseer was way beyond Kamal in this movie. He had the right kind of voltage and the intensity which depicted the anguish of a common man in the right way.

On the other hand, many said that Kamal has got a larger than life image of his and he was not able to fit the bill of an ordinary man. Also, the depth in his character was not portrayed say many which resulted in a rather mild performance. All said and done, the fact that many agree is that Kamal is a highly talented actor and that cannot be undermined but when compared to the realistic and deep performances of Naseer things change. What is your call on this folks?
