Top actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan condoled the death of Queen Elizabeth II and reminisced her visit to the sets of his unfinished venture Marudhanaygam. He was quoted by PTI as saying, "The dialogues we spoke were against the colonial rule. She came there despite knowing that...it shows she didn't come as a queen but as a mother, someone who realised politics has changed, the world has changed. I liked that. Twenty-five years ago, she accepted our invitation and attended the inaugural of Marudhanayagam and greeted us. Most probably that is the only film shoot she had attended."
The Queen, who was Britain's longest-reigning monarch and second-longest recorded reign of any monarch of a sovereign country, acceded the throne in 1952 when she was 25 years old. She had seen 15 prime ministers during her reign, from Sir Winston Churchill to Liz Truss.
Her husband Prince Philip (Duke of Edinburgh), the longest-serving royal consort in history, died last year at 99.
