Kamal Haasan to skip national seminar against communal fascism over Big Boss commitments

The seminar, to be organised by the Keluettan Study and Research Centre, will take place on Saturday in Kozhikode, and will be attended by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

“Embarrassing.  Was not asked for Calicut meeting with Kerala CM. I am at ‘Bigg Boss’ all Saturdays till October. Best wishes for the function,” Haasan tweeted on Wednesday.

As the host of the Tamil version of “Bigg Boss”, Haasan is expected to be present in the house every Saturday and Sunday.

Earlier this month, Haasan had held talks with Pinarayi and said they had discussed the state of politics in Tamil Nadu.

When asked about his plans for political affiliation, Haasan clarified that his colour is definitely not saffron.

Over the last few months, Haasan has been very vocal about the current state of politics in Tamil Nadu, amid rumours that he has plans to float his own party.

Meanwhile, the CPI (M) is planning to invite him to a session at its mega congress slated for next year, party sources in New Delhi said. Haasan may be asked to join an open session, to which outsiders are invited, and a public rally held on the last day of the congress, the sources said.

The party congress, convened once in three years, is scheduled to be held next April in Hyderabad.
