Superstar Kamal Haasan in Politics

The 63-year-old actor Kamal Haasan took the political plunge after accusing the E Palaniswami government of corruption and bad governance. In his latest column in the popular Tamil weekly magazine Ananda Vikatan, he announced that his team will adopt a village in Tamil Nadu to demonstrate their model of development by implementing what governments have failed.

Kamal Haasan plans to launch his party on February 21 in Rameswaram, the home of former President APJ Abdul Kalam. He will also kick-start his statewide political tour, “Nalai Namadhe” (Tomorrow is Ours) from there.

Interaction with Youngsters:

Actor Kamal Haasan asked youngsters to be aware of what’s happening around them and become the leaders the country needs at the moment. He was addressing students, about 8,000, at an event organized by the Mataram Foundation near Chennai on Saturday.

Mr. Haasan criticised the state government for what he implied its “misplaced priority”. He also targeted the government for selling liquor through Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC) shops and suggested that it should focus on health and education instead. “That’s not their job. It’s enough if the government supervises liquor trade. No need to get waist or neck deep in liquor. They must take a similar plunge in health and education.”
Haasan’sBollywood Career
He is also a screenwriter, director, producer, playback singer and choreographer who works primarily in the Tamil film industry. He debuted as a child actor in the 1960 Tamil film Kalathur Kannamma, which won him the President’s Gold Medal.
Haasan’s plan : 
Mr Haasan plans to launch his party on February 21 in Rameswaram, the home of former President APJ Abdul Kalam.

He calls this tour a “journey of discovery” during which he will attempt to “understand people’s needs and aspirations”.

The actors have stepped into the political void left in Tamil Nadu after the death of former Chief Minister and AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa.
