Actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan officially entered the corridors of power on Friday as he took oath as a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha.
The veteran actor, widely admired for his contributions to Tamil cinema, chose to take his parliamentary oath in Tamil, underscoring his commitment to linguistic identity and regional representation. Haasan’s swearing-in marks a significant milestone for MNM, the political outfit he founded in 2018.
Earlier in the day, Haasan arrived at the Parliament complex amid anticipation and media buzz. His presence drew attention from fellow lawmakers and journalists, symbolising a unique blend of cinematic legacy and emerging political influence.
Haasan’s entry into Parliament is expected to bring a cultural and reformist voice into the Upper House. While his policy priorities remain under wraps, MNM sources indicate a focus on governance, transparency, and inclusive development.
With this development, the star-turned-politician joins a distinguished group of artists who have made successful transitions into national politics. His move may redefine how regional voices engage with national discourse.
