Kamal Haasan

Superstar Kamal Haasan is all set to launch his party on Wednesday after months of planning and working on the finer details.

The actor will kickstart his rally from former President APJ Abdul Kalam’s residence in Rameswaram. The tour will stop at 12 locations and will include four public meetings, while finally concluding with the party flag being hoisted around 6 pm in Madurai.

Haasan has in the last four days met leaders from various parties including the DMK, CPI(M), Naam Tamilar Katchi and the DMDK. The highlight, though, was him meeting his friend and political, cinema counterpart – Rajinikanth.

Haasan even invited the fellow superstar to the launch of his new party. Both actors have categorically maintained that they would not be joining hands in their new avatars.

With his stance clear against right-wing ideology, Haasan has not invited the BJP. Even Tamil Nadu’s ruling party, AIADMK, whose "corrupt ways" forced the actor to enter politics were ignored.
