On the next day, Kamal will unveil a statue of his mentor, late director K Balachandar, at the official premises of Raajkamal Film International in Alwarpet, with Balachander’s family in attendance along with key personalities from the industry. At 3:30 pm, a special screening of Kamal Haasan’s directorial Hey Ram has been planned at Sathyam Cinemas, Royapettah, following which an interaction with Kamal will take place. The screening is to commemorate 150 years of Mahatma Gandhi and a personal note from Kamal will also be shared at the venue.

On November 9, a musical concert by Ilaiyaraaja will happen featuring singers like SP Balasubrahmanyam and Kamal himself. The show has been titled Ungal Naan, Kamal's popular line from Bigg Boss Tamil. While Ilayaraaja himself will open the concert, the show will celebrate Kamal’s journey in cinema. This event will be attended by Rajinikanth and several other prominent names from the film industry.
