The 'Ulaganayagan' (universal hero) Dr. Kamal Haasan was one of the chief guests at the audio release function of Pasanga. Kamal described Pasanga as a change that the film industry has been waiting for, as children's film are a rarity these days. He also stressed that producers and media must be more forthcoming in producing and promoting children's films that depict issues facing them. Kamal shared the stage with his guru, music veteran Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna.
When asked about his views on Slumdog Millionaire (SM), Kamal said that it is a victory only for A.R. Rahman as SM is not an Indian film. He also said that Director Danny Boyle shot the film in the slums of Mumbai; if people find such a portrayal offensive, then they must come forward and take efforts to change our country for the better, rather than just being armchair critics!
