Actor turned politician Kamal Hassan addressed a public meet in Trichy yesterday (April 4) evening on behalf of his political party Makkal Needhi Maiam. Kamal spoke about issues pertaining to forming the Cauvery Management Board and more.

Director of Baana Kaathadhi and Semma Botha Aagathey, Badri Venkatesh who impressed with Kamal Haasan's speech took to his social media page to write this, "I am a completely Non political 43 year old Indian who hasn't missed my opportunity to vote from the age i was given the right to do the same. I am a writer and film director by profession. I will continue to be apolitical after penning this piece. I have witnessed several political meetings but the one i saw yesterday streamed live on web has floored me completely . Makkal Needhi Maiam 's trichy meeting gives me a sense of pride and confidence about my future. Here is a politician who doesn't beleive in gimmickery but qualitative reasoning. His presentation of ideas and a look at the issues makes one beleive that things are still possible for a reversal. Hope many more intellects,social scientist,farmers and common man like me would become more socially active for a better tomorrow."
