Kamal praises his own hero
After he paid his heartful tribute to the artist, he recalled his relationship with Aadimoolam, the artist's sense of humour and how that could be seen in all his works. Kamal released the book and veteran writer Jayakanthan received the first copy. Kamal said: "I'm one of the most ardent fans of writer Jayakanthan and the late legend Aadimoolam. Jayakanthan is my all time hero. I like the latter for his comic 'curves'. Aadhimoolam's sudden demise is a huge loss to the world of literature indeed."

The book is a compilation of more than 100 articles written by renowned personalities from the Tamil literature and film world who had close contacts with the artist till his death.
