TN Election
'Will give up all ego and cooperate for people's benefit,' Kamal Haasan on possible alliance with Rajinikanth
Chennai/IBNS: Actor-politician Kamal Haasan on Tuesday evening reiterated his willingness to work with fellow superstar Rajinikanth if their political ideologies are similar.
Rajinikanth is expected to make his electoral debut in next year's Tamil Nadu Assembly election.
Kamal Haasan, whose Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) is gearing up for the polls, said both Rajinikanth and he would "give up all ego and co-operate if it would benefit the people."
However, he cautioned that a more detailed understanding of Rajinikanth's ideology was needed to make this decision.
"Let Rajini speak. We will help each other if required... give up all ego and co-operate if it will benefit the people. We have said this before... nothing new to be said now," Kamal Haasan said.
"(But) we can't take his single word (a reference to Rajinikanth's promise of "spiritual politics" as his party's cornerstone) as a full ideology. Let them explain in detail, then we will speak," he added.
"I have said why I came to politics. We need a change. Rajinikanth too says that," he said.
On Sunday, Kamal Haasan had hinted at a possibility of alliance, saying: "Alliances will break up and alliances will come together."
