Reflecting on Sadma, Kamal Haasan said its impact came from a joint effort with Sridevi and Balu Mahendra’s vision—much like Mani Ratnam’s layered storytelling

Veteran actor Kamal Haasan’s performance in the cult-classic ‘Sadma’ is for the ages. Who could forget the climax when his character is abandoned by Sridevi’s character once she regains her memory?
Sridevi dominated the film for the majority of its length. However, Kamal Haasan comes in with his fully-loaded armada of a stellar performance, and leaves a deep impact. While Kamal is often lauded for his performance towards the end of the film, he refuses to claim the sole credit for the film.
The actor spoke with IANS, and said that he equally shares the credit with Sridevi and the director of the film, Balu Mahendra.
