Kamal Haasan political party launch: the superstar will unveil party's name in Madurai
It was an RSVP to an invitation for today's launch, said Kamal Haasan, stating that he has much admiration for Mr Naidu, whose ties with ally BJP are currently strained over what he calls grossly insufficient allocation for Andhra Pradesh in the Union Budget. "Kejriwal is coming. Some others will be trying to come. Chandrababu Naidu called me last night. You keep asking me what my political inclinations are, I asked Chandrababu Naidu. He told me not to worry about that, the people's word will be the political inclination," the veteran Tamil actor told reporters after meeting fishermen in Rameswaram.
"I will take only the good from different political ideologies," he added.

Kamal Haasan met APJ Abdul Kalam's brother Mohammed Muthumeera Lebbai Maraikkayar in Rameswaram.
Kamal Haasan, 62, is travelling today from Rameswaram, the hometown of his hero former President APJ Abdul Kalam, to Madurai, 170 km away, where he will unveil the name, flag and ideology of his new party at a public meeting in Madurai at around 8 tonight. Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal is the chief guest.
At Dr Kalam's home this morning, Kamal Haasan chatted with the former president's nonagenarian brother Mohammed Muthumeera Lebbai Maraikkayar and other relatives. He also tweeted about the visit.
Greatness can come from simple beginnings. Actually it will come only from simplicity. Glad to start my journey from a great man's simple abode. #maiam
