He has not yet declared a political party, however reports had proposed he would release one before the present month’s over.
On September 15, Haasan conceded he was likely to join governmental issues, however not with the existing parties. “I don’t figure my objectives in legislative issues can coordinate the belief system of any political gathering,” he had said. Other than meeting Kejriwal, he had additionally met Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, however he cleared up later that he would not join the Left.
As of late, Haasan has made a few remarks about the continuous political turmoil in Tamil Nadu after previous Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa passed away.
On August 15, he had censured the state government and inquired as to why no one had requested Chief Minister Palaniswami’s acquiescence over asserted debasement. He had included that his point was for a superior Tamil Nadu, and if the instruments that must help accomplish that – “the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and other political parties– are blunt, we should find others”.
In the interview Kamal speaks about why he wishes to join politics. To that he says, “The people of Tamil Nadu have witnessed the corruption of both DMK and AIADMK. My fight is against corruption,” the actor said.
“I cannot commit a time but we are trying to launch (the new party) before New Year. I am talking to various people, taking advice from them. As there is no time limit, I cannot say,” said Kamal.
Talking about his high-profile meeting with Arvind Kejriwal, which many thought might be a sign of his aligning with the AAP, the ‘Hey Ram’ actor said, “I did not go to Kejriwal, he came to me. It was kind of him.” I am against casteism,” said Kamal, “Although I am not a communist, I admire certain people who are. Some of my heroes are communists.”
“I love my country but it starts from my home and then from my state. There is definitely a divide between North and South India. Delhi doesn’t understand Tamil Nadu, and vice-versa. Even if there is a positive move from either side, the other views it with suspicion. This is why no national party has made it in Tamil Nadu.”
Another superstar who wishes to join politics was Rajnikanth who also spoke about cleaning up the system. Well, everyone love to see the duo working together in politics, and Kamal has been pretty open about it while talking about working with Rajnikanth in future.
“I speak to Rajini regularly, he is a friend. I informed him when I decided to join politics. Although there are no plans right now, I am open to working with him. He seems like a more suitable ally for the saffron party because of his religious beliefs, while I am a rationalist.”
