Stating that fans had a great responsibility, actor Kamal Haasan said that they must make it a point to call good films good and bad films bad. Speaking at the audio launch event of director Prabhu Solomon`s `Sembi`, featuring Kovai Sarala and Ashwin in the titular roles, Kamal Haasan said: "During those days while seeking a chance, I would carry a photo album with my pics from the film `16 Vayadhinile`.
"I would keep showing it to people saying, `I am acting in this film as its hero`. Some would have good words to say. There were others who would say, `Don`t you feel ashamed carrying a book in which you have a picture of yourself in a loin cloth?` I remember all those words today when one of the speakers here praised me saying I attend the audio launches of both big and small films."

"One cannot decide which is a big film or a small film from here," he said and then pointing to the audience, he added: "They are the ones who decide." "If we are talking about `16 Vayathinile`, remembering it after almost 40 years after it was made, then that is what is a big film. There are times when we struggle to remember the name of a film, saying, `What was that film that was made for so many crores?` That is a small film," he explained.
Stating that he had watched `Sembi`, Kamal Haasan called it a good film. "The core point the film looks to make is good. I have seen this film. Our silence is the biggest danger. When you don`t question people committing mistakes as to why they are doing so, the mistakes will continue. This film says that and that is why I like this film. It reminds us all that we have a duty."
The actor then told the audience: "As fans, you too have a great responsibility and duty, you must call good films good and bad films bad. You must do that boldly and without fear." The event was attended by a host of dignitaries including the cast and crew of the film.
