Kamal Haasan shared his gratitude via a heartfelt voice note, expressing his thankfulness for the thoughtful gesture. Kamal said Alphonse has an energetic mind and that he should take care of his health. The video with the voice of Kamal Haasan was shared by actor Parthipan.
‘Alphonse may not be healthy, but his mind is creative. Sound is refreshing. Hopefully he will move forward like that. The decision to stay away from films is personal, but should take care of his health. Be careful,' said Kamal Haasan.
Meantime, Alphonse Puthren’s announcement was shocking. His post said, ‘I am ending my film career. I have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. I don’t want to be a burden to anybody. Will continue doing short films, videos and songs and OTT content also.
I don’t want to quit cinema, but I have no other option. I don’t want to make promises that I can’t keep. When health is weak or unpredictable life brings a twist like an interval punch,’ his post said. He later deleted the post.
