Kamal Haasan: Will the real ‘Nayagan’ Please Rise?

Kamal Haasan’s played a hundred avatars. But is it time for him to be the ‘Nayagan’ yet? Let’s ask him!

Indian, Chachi 420 or Anbe Sivam’s die-hard communist, what kind of ‘Nayagan’ will Kamal Haasan, the politician be?

Padmashri Kamal Haasan has been a political animal from the time he was born. And it’s not me who is saying so, it’s the man himself!

In fact, his movies and tweets combined have been the unofficial opposition party in Tamil Nadu politics for quite a while.

So, is he going to enter, actually enter, politics? The obvious answer is: Yes!

The question though is: When?

While that’s as much of a juicy mystery as the release date for Vishwaroopam 2, here’s a montage of all (most) of his Avatars, and some of his political statements; some incendiary, some revealing, and some deliciously irreverent!
