Kamal Hasan to contest from Coimbatore South constituency

March 12, 2021

Actor turned politician Kamal Hasan would make his electoral debut, contesting from Coimbatore South constituency in the April 6 Tamil Nadu assembly elections. The Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) President made the announcement here on Friday, releasing the second list of his party's candidates.

Remembering his late father Sreenivasan, Hasan expressed confidence that the people of his constituency would enable him to voice his views in the assembly by voting for him.

"My father's dream was I should become an IAS officer and then enter politics. Though I could not realize his dream (of becoming an IAS officer), my party comprises many (former) IAS officers. That is a proud moment for us," he told reporters.
