Kamal Haasan is a national treasure. From Nayakan to Vikram, his range is unbelievable. Glad to see Anupam Kher, another brilliant actor, acknowledging him. We need more such mutual admiration in our film industry, less rivalry.

As someone who loves both Hindi and Tamil cinema, this makes me so happy! It's a beautiful reminder that great art transcends language barriers. Also, Anupam sir promoting 'Homebound' for the Oscars is the support Indian cinema needs.

Respectfully, while I adore both actors, I wish our media gave this much coverage to substantial policy news as they do to celebrity airport meetings. That said, the conversation about K Balachander must have been gold. He shaped both their careers.

Heartwarming! ❤️ This is the real "Koffee" we want to see - genuine conversations between veterans, not scripted shows. Also, good on Anupam Kher for shouting out Ranveer's Dhurandhar. It's a fantastic film, more people should watch it!

Ulaganayagan Kamal sir! The man is an encyclopedia of cinema. No surprise the chat lasted an hour. Anupam Kher's humility in saying he learnt from him is commendable. True greatness lies in always being a student.
