'Fight against corruption brought Kejriwal and me together',says Kamal Haasan

In a press conference, Haasan said, "I find it amazing that he (Kejriwal) wanted to meet me, anyone related to corruption cannot be related to me. The reason we got together is his fight against corruption."

"His conviction, courage admirable," he added.

Arvind Kejriwal said, they had a very good meeting and will continue to do so in future.

"He (Kamal Haasan) should enter into politics," Kejriwal said.

"We will continue to discuss and meet each other in future also, " he added.

Kejriwal met with the superstar at his residence in Chennai. It was rumoured that Kejriwal is likely to offer Haasan the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) platform to pursue his career in politics.

Haasan has been very active politically of late, often times levying corruption charges against the state government.

As per the Times of India report, Haasan wanted to meet Kejriwal. A telephone conversation set the ground for today's meeting.

This is not the first time Hassan is meeting the Delhi Chief Minister. Haasan had called on Kejriwal two years ago at the Delhi secretariat on September 11, 2015. Then they said to have discussed ideas related to promotion of the film industry and easing the process of shooting in the national capital.

But today's meeting gains significance after Haasan met Kerala Chief Minister P Vijayan in Thiruvananthapuram. However, he denied joining the communist party.

The Delhi Chief Minister will also visit a Tamil Nadu government-run skill development centre in Chennai.

Mr Haasan had been opposing the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, whose political adversary DMK has voiced support for him.
