Hasan’s acting career can be divided into three stages. The first stage is his early career as a child actor, lasting from 1959 to 1965. His notable roles from this period include a dual part, as Babu and Kumar in “Paarthaal Pasi Theerum” (1962), and his debut in the Malayalam film industry with “Kannum Karalum” (1962). The second stage was marked by his rise as a romantic movie lead, in films such as “Apoorva Raagangal” (1975), in which he played Prasanna, a young man in love with an older woman; for this role, he took home his first Filmfare Award in Tamil. He also portrayed a womanizer, Madhu in 1976 film “Manmatha Leelai”, which was considered scandalous for the time, but achieved the status of cult classic in later years. Another classic from this period is Maro Charitra (1978), which was also Kamal’s debut in a Telugu-language film. He reprised this role three years later, when the director K. Balachander remade the movie in Hindi as “Ek Duuje Ke Liye” (1981). All contributed considerably to his net worth.
