Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu and Hindi film industries, with Filmfare
Awards in each industry and two national awards.[26][29][30]
1990-1998[edit]
In 1990, Michael Madana Kama Rajan saw Haasan build on Apoorva

Sagodharargal by playing quadruplets. It began as a collaboration with
writer Crazy Mohan for future comedy films.[31] Haasan won
successive Best Actor awards for his portrayal of deranged, obsessive
protagonists in Gunaa and Thevar Magan (which was remade in Hindi
as 1997's Virasat). He was credited with the story for the latter. Haasan
won his third National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil as a
producer for Thevar Magan. The film was India's submission for
the Academy Awards that year. A series of films
followed: Singaravelan, Maharasan, Kalaignan, Mahanadhi, Nammava
r, and Sathi Leelavathi Produced by Haasan, it featured himself
alongside Kannada actor Ramesh Aravind and comedian Kovai Sarala.

film, Subha Sankalpam, and starred in the police
story Kuruthipunal (Tamil) simultaneously shot in Telugu

success in the latter was followed by his third National Film Award for
Best Actor for Indian.[32] Haasan also won Tamil Nadu State Film Award
for Best Actor and Filmfare Best Actor for Indian. The film was India's
submission for the Academy Awards.
'The Week', in its 13 September 1992 edition, reported that Chiranjeevi

remuneration for any Indian hero then. In 1994, Haasan became the first
actor to charge 1.5 crore per film. The highest paid Indian actor from
1970 to 1987 was Rajesh Khanna.[33]
After Indian, Haasan played a woman in the comedy Avvai Shanmughi,

which was inspired by Mrs. Doubtfire.[34] He chose Shantanu Sheorey to
direct the Hindi remake of Avvai Shanmughi, Chachi 420,[35] but after
dissatisfaction with five days of shooting Haasan took over as director.
[36][37]
In 1997 Haasan began directing an unfinished biopic
of Mohammed Yusuf Khan, Marudhanayagam; a forty five minutes of
film and a trailer was shot.[38] Marudhanayagam was expected to be the
biggest, most expensive film in Indian cinematic history and his
magnum opus; a number of well-known actors and technicians had been
signed, and it was launched at a public ceremony by Queen
Elizabeth during her 1997 visit to India.[39] Although the film failed to
materialise due to budget constraints, Haasan expressed an interest in
reviving the project.[40] In 1998, he appeared in Singeetam Srinivasa
Rao's romantic comedy, Kaathala Kaathala opposite Prabhu Deva. The
film was a commercial success and was dubbed in Hindi as Mirch
Masala, which was never released.
