Many may think that Kamal Haasan has joined the bandwagon of sequels as making sequels has become a trend in Kollywood today with many leading star heroes acting in the sequels of their past blockbusters. But Kamal has been the first to experiment many concepts that would emerge as a trend in Kollywood after many years and the concept of making a sequel is no exception to that rule..  

Kamal acted in the first ever sequel film made in Tamil! His 1979 super hit film 'Kalayanaraman' had a sequel titled as 'Jappanil Kalyanaraman'. However both the films had different directors. G.N.Rangarajan was the director of the first film while S.P.Muthuraman directed the sequel which released in 1985.
