king of bollywood Shahrukh Khan has turned a year older as the actor celebrates his 59th birthday today (November 2). On his special day, famous actor Kamal Haasan wrote a heartfelt birthday note for Shahrukh on his social media. On the X (formerly known as Twitter) account, Kamal wrote, “Happy birthday my friend @iamsrk. You lived with dignity and charm, always wearing a smile that could still remain for a nation. May you keep lighting up screens and hearts alike!”

The Indian 2 actor’s warm birthday wish for his ‘friend’ has gone viral on the internet. It is pertinent to mention that Shahrukh Khan and Kamal Haasan worked together in Hey Ram in 2002. Written, directed and produced by Haasan, the historical drama stars him and Shah Rukh in the lead roles. Hey Ram was Shah Rukh Khan’s first Tamil film, as the film was shot simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil.
Perhaps it was during the shooting of this film that the veteran actors became friends. Over the years, the friendship evolved and both SRK and Kamal Haasan spoke highly of each other in various media interactions.
On a related note, the Vikram actor once praised Shahrukh Khan when he revealed that the actor did not charge a single penny for Hey Ram. Quoted by India Today, Kamal said, “When we work together, we are all just people. I don’t see a superstar. He doesn’t see a super director. We are friends. Shahrukh saab did that film for free. I made it.” This cannot be done by a superstar. This can only be done by a fan. I am always grateful to them, you give us these titles and we accept it.”
It’s great to see such heartfelt camaraderie between two of the biggest superstars of Indian cinema. Correct? Although SRK and Kamal Haasan have not worked together yet, after Hey Ram in 2000, their fans definitely want to see them together.
