FollowKamal Haasan, who recently turned 67, will become the first Indian star to have his digital avatar in a metaverse. The actor, politician, producer, and filmmaker has made his digital debut by creating a non-fungible token. With this, he has joined Indian celebrities such as Amitabh Bachchan and Sunny Leone in launching his collection of digital tokens that would be unique to those who invest in it. This also demonstrates the rising popularity of NFTs in India as more and more celebrities join the market.
Kamal stated in a news release that he is enthusiastic about studying the burgeoning junction of the digital and physical worlds, which is now generally known as the metaverse. He went on to say that his life's journey of over six decades, which has blurred the boundary between his personal and professional life, will be his offering for this metaverse. Fantico will create a game-based Metaverse in which the famous actor will have his own planet. The NFTs will be available on https://kamal.fantico.io/.
