It has been reported that Kamal Haasan, a producer, director, actor, and politician, is set to become the first Indian celebrity to create and use his own digital avatar in the new metaverse. Facebook recently changed its company's name to Meta. The company is now developing Metaverse technology. With this, they are going to create a new digital world. Kamal Haasan's avatar will be featured in the film.
Kamal Haasan to go into the digital world?
Kamal Haasan, who turned 67 on Sunday, has announced that he will use the Non-Fungible Token, known as collectibles or NFT's, to introduce plans for a museum with his avatar in the upcoming Metaverse game from Indian licensed digital collection site, Fantico, and use a separate space for him in the digital world.
What did Kamal Haasan say about the world's emerging metaverse technology?
"I am excited to explore the emerging metaverse technology of the digital and physical world. It is now becoming very popular that it opens the door to a new world called Metaverse," Kamal Haasan said. "My life journey of more than six decades will be my offering for this metaverse," he added in his post.
What can fans expect in the digital world?
As fans are spending more money on digital collections, many celebrities are joining in. Stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, as well as cricketers and leagues like Indian Super League (ISL), have launched their NFT's. Founder Abhayanand Singh has told the media that Fantico will first release various digital collections including posters, avatars, and videos for Kamal Haasan.
Game-based metaverse
"Over the next few months, we're seeing game-based metaverse launch, where Hassan will have his own world, his personal museum," he noted. It has also been suggested that this metaverse technology will allow Hassan's fans to communicate with him globally by exploring his world, interacting with his digital avatars, and buying souvenirs and digital items.
A large number of celebrities invade the Metaverse side
Kamal Haasan is known for testing genres, visual styles, and technology in his films. Globally, it's worth noting that rapper Snoop Dogg entered the NFT Metaverse via his virtual mansion in The Sandbox in September. Singh said Fantico is in talks with several other actors, athletes, and studios, and others from the creative community to be part of Metaverse.
