Actor Kamal Haasan today condoled the
death of Oscar winning actor-comedian Robin Williams, saying the actor
"brought dignity to male crying".
"Comedians
are invariably critics of society who have masked their anger with
humour. Constantly maintaining a funny facade leads to depression. Robin
Williams true nature is being quick to tears. You can see it in his
films," Haasan said in a statement.
"Williams
could have never become a star in the 1960s, for American film heroes
were too scared to cry on screen," said Haasan, whose "Avvai Shanmughi"
in Tamil and "Chachi 420" in Hindi is believed to be inspired by
Williams' popular movie "Mrs Doubtfire".
"The
Vietnam war changed the American psyche. Rambo was the first popular
action hero to show panic cry and scream in fear. Robin Williams brought
dignity to male crying. I like him for his talent," he said.
On
the suspected suicide of Williams, he said, "if the alleged story about
his suicide is true then I dislike him for ending his life before his
due date of expiry. That's a cop out that I don't expect of an artist of
his calibre. Same applies to my Indian Idol Guru Dutt".
