Kamal Haasan Likely To Launch Political Party Soon: Reports

Ever since the death of Jayalalithaa and the political harakiri that followed, Kamal Haasan has turned his Twitter account into a platform to make political statements and criticise the state and central government. Naturally, it has led to a lot of speculations on his entry into politics.

While the actor so far has not made any direct comments on his political entry, according to The Indian Express, Haasan is likely to float his own political party, ahead of the local body elections that will be held in November in Tamil Nadu. The report further added that an announcement is likely to be made in a few days, may be on Vijayadashami or on Gandhi Jayanthi. 

In an interview to Quint, Ulaganayagan was quoted as saying, “This is the right time for me to come into active politics because everything that can possibly go wrong is going wrong. We need better governance. I am not promising swift remedies. But I promise to start the process of change. This change may not even happen in my lifetime. Hopefully there will be others to carry forward the cleansing process.

Meanwhile, there were reports that Haasan would be attending a national seminar against communal fascism, which will be inaugurated by Chief Minister of Kerala Pinarayi Vijayan and attended by senior CPI(M) leaders from Kerala in Kozhikode on September 16. Haasan took to Twitter and dismissed these reports. 

Haasan’s spokesperson told Silverscreen, “We don’t know about his plans but if he is taking any serious decisions, he will invite all the press and media and talk about it. Until then, need not believe any speculations.”
