Kamal Haasan has never been the sort of public figure who settles for the easy answer. True to form, the actor turned parliamentarian offered a strikingly direct response at the Hortus Art and Literature Festival in Kerala when he was asked about the political landscape ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections. For those expecting a sharp remark about Vijay and his new party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, Kamal steered the conversation to a space far removed from personality driven rivalries.
The newly elected Rajya Sabha member stated firmly that Vijay is not his political opponent and that his principal adversary is caste discrimination. Speaking to an attentive audience, he said his chosen enemy is casteism, which he described as a violent and deeply embedded force that must be addressed swiftly and without hesitation. His tone was measured, but the urgency in his words made it clear that this was not a line designed for applause. It was a declaration of the direction he intends to take as his political presence gains renewed momentum.
The question was prompted by discussions around Vijay’s political entry and the perception that his party may emerge as a significant challenger to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in the coming cycle. Kamal, however, refused to frame the narrative as a direct clash between two actors who transitioned into public life. He reminded the audience that his entry into the Upper House followed an understanding with the DMK during the 2024 general elections. His remarks carried an undertone that suggested political battles rooted in personality are less important to him than the long struggle against social injustice.

Kamal on Vijay: Respect, Distance, and Patience
When asked if he had advice for Vijay, Kamal responded with humility. He said he is not in a position to advise anyone and added that he himself rarely benefitted from advice in his youth because it never arrived at the right time. He called Vijay his brother and said that experience is the best teacher, one that arrives without bias and leaves behind lessons that no mentor can replicate. It was a thoughtful response, one that signalled camaraderie but also hinted at the individual journeys both men are undertaking. Vijay’s rise in politics has been under intense public scrutiny ever since he announced plans to step away from cinema after completing Jana Nayagan, due for release on January 9. Market watchers expect his transition to politics to accelerate once the film hits theatres.
For Kamal, the political road ahead is both familiar and refreshed. His Makkal Needhi Maiam, founded in 2018, has built its own share of loyal supporters over the years. His new role in the Rajya Sabha adds another layer to his political identity, giving him a national platform while he prepares for the upcoming state elections. Yet his message in Kerala suggested that he is intent on focusing on a broader reformist agenda rather than a headline chasing rivalry.

A Busy Slate for Two Titans of Tamil Cinema
On the film front, Kamal Haasan continues to juggle an eclectic mix of projects. He was last seen earlier this year in Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam, and is now collaborating with action choreographer duo Anbariv for their directorial debut KH237. He is also producing Rajinikanth’s Thalaivar 173 under the Raaj Kamal Films International banner, a reunion that has already stirred excitement among fans.
Vijay, meanwhile, returned to screens in 2024 with The Greatest of All Time, which sparked a conversation about his evolving screen choices before he embarks on a full time political career. All eyes are now on Jana Nayagan, directed by H Vinoth, which is positioned as his final film before he shifts focus entirely to public life.
As the state gears up for an intense electoral cycle, Kamal Haasan’s comments stand out for their clarity. In a landscape that often defaults to personality clashes, he has chosen to position his battle against a deeper, structural issue. Whether this approach will reshape the narrative around the 2026 race remains to be seen, but his words in Kerala have certainly set the stage for a different kind of conversation.

The Berlinale’s industry event next year will include a three-day focus on the international animation industry, as well as a new section, EFM Beyond, focused on cross-media collaboration. 

The latest promos of Bigg Boss 19 suggest that the finale week is set to be packed with drama, highlighting the rising tensions between housemates. One of the most prominent conflicts centers on Gaurav Khanna and Farrhana Bhatt, whose disagreement over food and kitchen duties escalates quickly, drawing strong reactions from fellow contestants.

In the promo, Gaurav is seen visibly frustrated, exclaiming, “You have used all the eggs, I don’t know what to make.” Farrhana responds, urging him to prepare lunch, to which Gaurav snaps back, “Make it yourself, the kitchen is all yours.” Amaal Mallik tries to mediate, telling Gaurav, “She didn’t say anything wrong, brother,” but the dispute intensifies. Gaurav complains about changing instructions, saying, “You said make potatoes, I said it will be done. Now she’s saying make bhindi, where should I make it from, is this a hotel?” Farrhana retorts, “I said bhindi or anything, do you even listen to me? You’re a total fool,” to which Gaurav responds, “If I’m a fool, then make it yourself.” Pranit More steps in to calm both parties, but Gaurav continues with a sharp comment, “Kya dustbin ki tarah muh hai uska.”

Meanwhile, Tanya Mittal observes from the garden, remarking, “GK’s true nature is coming out, the way he used to act so civilized.” In another clip, Tanya, Malti Chahar, and Farrhana discuss Gaurav’s overall journey. Farrhana acknowledges his character, saying, “You haven’t done much on this show, but as a person, you are good,” while Malti criticizes manipulative behavior. Tanya states firmly, “If I get a chance to work with GK, I won’t do it. He is fake.” She adds humorously, “His script hasn’t even ended; he got a 15-week script written. We’ll have to see who the writer is.”

Despite the conflicts, Gaurav seems unfazed, telling Pranit, “People here have such antics, it’s really fun.” Later, he vents his exhaustion, saying, “Thak gaya bhai in sabko sambhalte sambhalte, tel lene jaaye sab.” The promos indicate that the show’s finale will be a high-voltage mix of confrontations, strategy, and entertainment, keeping viewers eagerly anticipating the week ahead.
