Kamal Haasan calls on Karunanidhi before beginning his political journey

CHENNAI: Three days before beginning his journey into politics, actor Kamal Haasan on Sunday visited former Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi at his Gopalapuram residence to seek his blessings.
Kamal’s onscreen rival Rajinikanth, who is set to foray into politics, met Karunanidhi last month.
DMK working president M K Stalin reached the Gopalapuram residence prior to Kamal’s arrival. Stalin greeted Kamal with a friendly smile.After his meeting with Karunanidhi, Kamal said an alliance would be considered with the DMK after the “party (DMK) leadership hears my political ideology.”
Kamal will launch his party and release his party manifesto on Wednesday.
Welcoming Kamal into politics, Stalin said he had already invited the 63-year old actor for what could be the actor’s first involvement in a meeting of political parties. Stalin had demanded that the ruling AIADMK call an all-party meet to discuss the Cauvery water sharing issue. Stalin said, “If the AIADMK does not respond to my demand by Monday, I will call for an all-party meet as the leader of the opposition. I will invite all parties, including the AIADMK and the BJP. Kamal has promised to attend it.”
