From comedy drama Chachi 420 to historical crime film Hey Ram, Haasan has proved his filmmaking skills on more than one occasion. Let’s celebrate Haasan’s 67th birthday with some of the best films directed by him.
Aunt 420
The Hindi film Chachi 420 was Haasan’s first film as a director. Comedy Caper was a remake of the 1996 Tamil comedy drama Avvai Shanmugi, which in turn was inspired by the 1993 American film Mrs. Doubtfire. Haasan played a divorced husband who disguises himself as a nanny to be with his only child. The film also starred Tabu, Amrish Puri, Om Puri and Fatima Sana Shaikh in pivotal roles.
hey ram
Haasan made his directorial return in 2000 with the historical crime drama Hey Ram, in which he also starred. Shot simultaneously in Tamil and Hindi, the film depicts the alternate history of the partition of India. Shah Rukh Khan made his Tamil debut with Hey Ram which also starred Rani Mukerji. The film received critical acclaim.
Virumandi
Continuing his legacy of acting in his directorial debut, Haasan next made the Tamil action drama Virumandi in 2004. The film is based on the controversy over the death penalty through interviews of two prisoners. The film was a critical and commercial success.
Vishwaroopam
It took 10 years for Haasan to return to direction. This time he came up with the spy thriller Vishwaroopam. The film featured names like Rahul Bose, Shekhar Kapur, Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah and Jaideep Ahlawat. The film went on to become the highest Tamil grosser of the time, and Haasan was praised for making a film of international standards.
Haasan also starred in and directed the sequel to Vishwaroopam in 2018. Vishwaroopam II received mixed reviews, but was a commercial success nonetheless.
