Kamal makes history! Begins political journey from Kalam’s home!!

Actor Kamal Haasan made history on Wednesday by beginning his political career officially from the residence of former President of India, late Shri APJ Abdul Kalam in Rameshwaram.

Kamal, who left Chennai for Rameshwaram on Tuesday, paid homage to the late president of India at the House of Kalam at around 7.40 in the morning.

The actor, who had snacks at Kalam’s home, took the blessings of Kalam’s elder brother, Mohammed Muthu Meera Lebbai Maraikayar, and met the late leader’s other family members.

After the meeting, the actor tweeted, ”Greatness can come from simple beginnings. Actually it will come only from simplicity. Glad to start my journey from a great man’s simple abode. #maiam”

However, the actor had to cancel his plans of going to Kalam’s former school and meeting schoolchildren because the district unit of the Hindu Munnani had taken exception to the actor’s plans. The actor was planning to interact with students at the Number 1 Mandapam Panchayat Union Middle school, the alma mater of the former president.
