Kamal Haasan says "hope Rajinikanth's colour isn't saffron"

Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan, who is in the US, spoke on people's right to express, his dream of creating a "corruption-free Tamil Nadu" and the prospect of allying with his contemporary Rajinikanth at the Harvard University.
Both Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan call themselves as the "agents of change" and want to improve the standard of governance in Tamil Nadu. Ever since Rajinikanth announced on December 31 his entry into active politics, the two actors have been continuously asked if they would contest elections together.
Haasan, 63, who took the political plunge after accusing the E Palaniswami government of corruption and bad governance, had earlier said that partnering with Rajinikanth, who recently announced his political entry, is not a decision that can be taken now.
"It isn't like choosing the star cast for films," he said and added that they both will have to deliberate whether it is necessary for them to join hands.
Rajinikanth's stock response to similar queries has always been "only time will tell".
However, without ruling out the possibility of future ties, Haasan emphasised "red is not my political complexion" and expects that the two actors are on the same page. "I hope Rajinikanth's colour is not saffron because if it is, an alliance is unlikely," he said.
