Renowned actor, filmmaker, and innovator Kamal Haasan visited the headquarters of Perplexity, an AI-powered search platform at the forefront of global innovation. During his visit, Haasan met with Aravind Srinivas, co-founder and CEO of Perplexity.
The meeting reflected a shared passion for pushing boundaries—Haasan, known for decades of groundbreaking work in Indian cinema, and Srinivas, a leading figure in next-generation AI, found common ground in curiosity and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Following the visit, Kamal Haasan shared his reflections on social media: “From cinema to Silicon, the tools evolve—but our thirst for what’s next remains. Inspired by my visit to Perplexity HQ in San Francisco, where Indian ingenuity shines through @AravSrinivas and his brilliant team building the future—one question at a time.
Curiosity
didn’t kill the cat — it created @AravSrinivas and @perplexity_ai!”
Aravind Srinivas also expressed his admiration: “Was great to meet and host you @ikamalhaasan at the Perplexity office! Your passion to still learn and incorporate cutting-edge technology in filmmaking is inspirational! Wish you the best for Thug Life and the future projects you are working on!”
The visit comes in the lead-up to the release of Thug Life, Haasan’s much-anticipated upcoming film directed by Mani Ratnam. The film, with music by A.R. Rahman and production by Kamal Haasan, R. Mahendran, and Siva Ananth, will be released worldwide theatrically on June 5, 2025. Haasan leads the film as Rangaraaya Sakthivel Naicker, alongside Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Joju George, and Abhirami in pivotal roles.
