Haasan's portrayal of an innocent man in Mahanadhi (1994), was selected by Forbes India as one of the 25 greatest acting performances of Indian cinema. Hindustan Times hailed him as "A polymath in the truest sense, Kamal has given silver jubilee films in five languages. If there's one Indian actor who is a one-man industry in himself, it's Kamal Haasan." He was honoured with the French honour, Henri Langlois Prize in 2016 and Paidipati Jairaj Award in 2026, for his outstanding contributions to international cinema and Indian cinema respectively.
