Stating that he considered Keralam too to be his state, actor, producer and politician Kamal Haasan on Tuesday said that although some people attributed the status of an 'outsider' to him, he was still emotionally attached to the state.

Taking to his X timeline to pen a post wishing Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan the very best for the upcoming elections, Kamal Haasan wrote, "Wishing Comrade Pinarayi Vijayan, Vijayam (victory). I wish the Chief Minister of Kerala, Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, all the very best for the upcoming election."

Kamal Haasan, who is known to be a good friend of the present Kerala Chief Minister, said, "Above all, I feel that the state, Keralam, is also ende Keralam. Even if some, in their exclusive mindset, attribute an outsider status to me, I remain emotionally attached to Keralam."

He went on to add, "Hence, I would urge the beneficiaries of that state (which includes me) to reflect on the past decade and wish him well. Let us make the right decision. Comrade Vijayan vijayikkatte(Let Vijayan be victorious). Keralamum Vijayikkum (Keralam too will win). Ithu ende Abhipraayam(This is my opinion)."

Meanwhile, on the acting front, Kamal Haasan has a series of interesting projects lined up.

As a Keralite living in Chennai, I find this very heartwarming. He has many fans here. But honestly, this feels more like political positioning before elections than pure emotion. Wish he'd just talk about the movie with Rajini sir!

KHXRK! That's the real news! 47 years wait is almost over. Forget politics, just give us that iconic combo on screen. The internet will break. 🔥

It's beautiful to see such cross-state camaraderie. In a diverse country like India, we need more voices that transcend regional lines. His message is inclusive.

Respectfully, while I admire Kamal Haasan as an actor, I disagree with his political endorsement. The "beneficiaries" should reflect on more than just the past decade. Kerala has deeper issues that need addressing. A balanced view is important.

He used the word "Keralam" which is the native Malayalam name for the state. That's a subtle but significant sign of respect. It shows he cares about the linguistic sentiment. Good on him!
