Kamal Haasan to contest from Coimbatore South constituency

Chennai, Mar 12 (PTI) Actor-turned politician Kamal
Haasan would make his electoral debut, contesting from
Coimbatore South constituency in the April 6 Tamil Nadu
assembly elections.
The Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) president made the
announcement here on Friday, releasing the second list of his
party's candidates.
Remembering his late father Sreenivasan, Haasan expressed
confidence that the people of his constituency would enable
him to voice his views in the assembly by voting for him.
"My father's dream was I should become an IAS officer and
then enter politics. Though I could not realise his dream (of
becoming an IAS officer), my party comprises many (former) IAS
officers. That is a proud moment for us," he told reporters.
