Actor Kamal Haasan has announced that he will not celebrate his birthday this year.

The actor, who will be turning 63 today, has decided to cancel birthday celebrations in the wake of the distress caused by the recent rains in the state.

Sources close to the actor say that he will visit a medical camp set up by his Narpani Iyakkam (Welfare Movement) at Annapoorna Marrige Hall in Avadi and will then visit rain-affected areas in Naryanapuram, Kolathur Road and Pallikaranai. He is also scheduled to address a press conference by 12.

Kamal took the decision late last night. He also took to Twitter to convince fans who were disappointed with his decision to not celebrate his birthday.

He tweeted, To those who love me and dislike the idea of my cancelling my birthday celeberations
“Tomorrow, is just another day
If you just celebrate and fail to seize it.
If we can make it better in pursuit of a cause
Then we become the change we seek”
