Rational person won't join politics: Kamal Haasan

Chennai: Kamal Haasan is all set to enter the television by hosting the ‘Big Boss’ on a Tamil TV channel. Speaking on the sides of the meet, Kamal took questions on politics and answered them in his own stride. When asked about people objecting actors entering politics, he said “Given the current political scenario in Tamil Nadu, I would say no one should enter politics. Why singling actors? Any rational person will not do that.”  

So, when do you want to enter to the real competitive politics? Pat he replies, “I feel the word competitive itself is wrong. When I think that politics is a place to serve society, one should not consider it as a money spinning proposition.”     

Do you think the present politicians' are in that mindset? “They are not! But I think everyone is aware of it”

When asked his opinion on his friend Rajinikanth entering politics, he said, “I will tell you when the elections are around the corner.”

On a query on Rajini's comment on the present system, which is corrupt, Kamal said, “Everyone feels the same way. He has just echoed it. There's nothing wrong in what he had remarked.”

How do you see the idea of 'only' Tamilians should rule the state? “One's feeling as a Tamil is more important rather than being born as a Tamil. Gandhi. Nehru, Subash Chandra Bose are not Tamils by birth, but many Tamil people keep the names of those leaders for their children. Many Malayalees consider me a Keralite. If you ask whether I would try to become the CM of Kerala, I would say I am not interested in that.”

There are allegations that filmy people who ruled the state have spoiled the system. What do you have to say about MGR and Jayalalithaa's regime? “I have spoken enough about it. I don't want to talk about it now.”
