Mr. Kamal Haasan – Founder President, Makkal Needhi Maiam

Mr. Kamal Haasan, fondly referred to as Nammavar, has dominated Indian filmdom as an unparalleled epitome of cinema!

Never restricting himself to the celluloid sheen, he exuded a deep concern for the various layers that pervade the social structure. As a brilliant creator of art that permeates epic literature, Mr. Kamal Haasan scripted emotions and perceptions far ahead of his time, which remain relevant even today.

His futuristic insights set him apart among stars, making him a true leader of the people, for the people. Rather than bask in fan adulation, he transformed his fan clubs into welfare hubs, pioneering community-focused movements.

His films reveal a constant undercurrent of social responsibility. Beyond reflecting problems, he also designed solutions, subtly expressing his political vision through cinema, consistently challenging faulty governance.

Even after decades of independence, Thamizh Nadu still yearns for disciplined politics. Mr. Kamal Haasan founded Makkal Needhi Maiam on February 21, 2018, in Madurai, with the mission to usher in meaningful change through people-centric politics.

Unlike traditional leaders who expect blind following, Mr. Kamal Haasan believes leadership means following the people’s needs. He speaks out against mediocrity, demanding accountability from politicians indifferent to public welfare.

He approaches every crisis not just emotionally, but analytically—balancing compassion with intellect—acting as a visionary citizen and a social scientist.

His politics isn’t about pleasing people with illusions. Instead, he stands for what is right, guided by a vision for transforming Tamizh Nadu. With honesty and unwavering principles, he aspires not only to lead but to inspire new leaders.

By placing people at the center, Mr. Kamal Haasan aims to place Thamizh Nadu at the center of progress and ideal governance.
