Seriously...why so different standards?
look i dunt need to know the entire history of his work...ive been watching his films ever since swati mutyam and sagara sangamam so save all tht extra writing describing his films and their achievements...i am more than familiar with his work...the other actors who make "boasty films" dunt have such work behind them (ram charan, balakrishna etc etc)...tht is wht anyone expects out of them, and they give that to the ppl...
this is NOT the kind of attitude that ppl expect from kamal hassan...hes someone whos been in the industry for long...he no youngster or nepotism boasting twit so it does look cheap on his part to do such things...so yes, to me it is an ego trip when an actor who used to pretty sensible up until the 2000s starts doing mediocre stuff, gives himself a title "ulaga nayagan" or "universal actor", dedicates a song to his so called "greatness" and seems to be doing films more as a form of "show off" rather than a form of "expression"...there is no sincerity to his performances in the last couple of years...its all done with an air and attitude of "oh i can do it better than hollywood" or "oh i can multitask so much ...see see..."
so yes, he did lose a considerable amt of his previous dignity...
