Actor-politician Kamal Haasan equated the experience of watching films in cinemas as that of belonging to a congregation while inaugurating a multiplex at Tiruverumbur on Monday. “You can never enjoy anything without being in a congregation, be it prayer, entertainment, education or a festival. And cinema is a festival of art. I am happy to be living in this time, when artificial intelligence is going to assist what you see on screen,” Mr. Haasan, president of Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), said during the inauguration of the L.A Cinema’s latest multiplex on Monday.
