Kamal to not celebrate birthday, plans on spending time with rain-hit people
He has also been critical of the K Palaniswami led AIADMK government over alleged corruption, drawing the ire of several ministers.
Actor Kamal Hassan will not celebrate his birthday tomorrow and instead meet people affected by the current torrential rains, his spokesperson said today.
The national award winning actor will also visit a rain-affected area at Pallikaranai here.
"This year he (Haasan) has decided not to celebrate his birthday while Chennai people are distressed by the rains.
Instead he will be visiting a medical camp, set up by his Narpani Iyakkam (welfare movement) at Avadi," he said.
Hassan, who has been hinting at his political foray, would be "reaching out to people with his special message and plans for the future," the spokesperson said without divulging further details.
The actor has recently pledged to send about five lakh of his volunteers and supporters for refurbishment of water bodies in the wake of the torrential downpour and resultant water logging in parts of the state including Chennai.
He has also been critical of the K Palaniswami led AIADMK government over alleged corruption, drawing the ire of several ministers.
