One of the country’s finest actors, Kamal Haasan, needs no introduction. He is not just an actor, he is a politician, dancer, director, screenwriter, producer, playback singer, and lyricist! Haasan’s contributions to cinema have been highly lauded by his contemporaries throughout the Indian film industry. Not just that, he and his work has always served as a positive influence for actors and filmmakers in the Tamil film industry.

He has never left an opportunity to spread love and stay in touch with his fans. Therefore, to connect the fans to their favorite celebrities, Fantico, a licensed digital collectible platform, has partnered with Lotus Media Entertainment to exclusively launch the digital avatars of Kamal Haasan. Fantico will also debut a game centered around the actor’s NFTs in its metaverse. Through this, his fans will be able to interact with him via his digital avatar on a worldwide basis. Fans can also purchase memorabilia and souvenirs associated with the actor on the platform. In the first phase, Fantico will launch a series of NFTs that will allow users to directly connect with him.

“Kamal Haasan has been a pioneer in experimenting with both his looks and his genres of films and relied heavily on technology for them. It is only natural that he makes his presence felt in the virtual world which is expected to be the future of entertainment.” On kamal.fantico.io, Haasan’s virtual avatar will be available in the Metaverse, a network of virtual communities where people can communicate via digital avatars.

Haasan began his career as a child actor in the Tamil film Kalathur Kannamma in 1960, for which he received the President’s, Gold Medal. His breakthrough as a male lead came in the 1975 drama ‘Apoorva Raagangal’, and he has since appeared in films such as Hey Ram (2000), Virumaandi (2004), Dasavathaaram (2008), in which he played 10 roles, and Vishwaroopam (2013), all of which he produced. Haasan has appeared in over 220 films and become one of India’s handful of actors who have worked in the industry for more than 60 years. Among other languages, Kamal Haasan has appeared in Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Bengali.

He has four National Film Awards and 19 Filmfare Awards to his name. He received the Kalaimamani award in 1984, the Padma Shri award in 1990, the Padma Bhushan award in 2014, and the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Chevalier) award in 2016. In 2013, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 15th Mumbai International Film Festival.

In 2004, Haasan received the first Abraham Kovoor National Award for his humanitarian efforts. He served as a project ambassador for the Hridayaragam 2010 event, which raised funds for an orphanage for HIV/AIDS kids. In September 2010, Haasan established a children’s cancer relief fund and distributed roses to cancer patients at Sri Ramachandra University in Porur, Chennai. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi nominated Haasan for the Swachh Bharat Mission. On February 21, 2018, Haasan formally announced the formation of his political party, Makkal Needhi Maiam (lit. People’s Justice Centre).

Fantico will assist Haasan in entering the NFT market. NFTs will include digital avatars, one-of-a-kind IPs or videos, a coin, and unreleased music, among other things. NFT is an abbreviation for “non-fungible token.” They are essentially digital collectibles, such as an image, video, or audio file, a tweet, or a video game item. An NFT can be copied in the same way that a painting can, but only one person can own the original. While many people associate NFTs with additional revenue streams for artists and celebrities, Singh claims that they solve a fundamental issue with digital ownership. Because NFTs use Blockchain technology, a record is created every time a transaction is completed. Because NFTs use Blockchain technology, every time there’s a transaction being made, a record is established in the digital ledger.

Other Celebrity NFTs available on the platform
NFTs provides an opportunity to be a part of digital art history. You can collect, own, and sell memorabilia offered by the legends themself, ranging from video moments to limited edition movie posters. It is clear that Fantico is dedicated to becoming the world’s leading blockchain-based collectibles trading platform. It is a software platform that enables performers, artists, film industry professionals, cricketers, and other Indian creators to create and sell their assets in a streamlined digital environment. It will not only be a marketplace for blockchain-based digital assets, but also for physical collectibles, eliminating the need for a middleman.
