Speaking on the issue, another source said that Haasan feels this is the right time to enter politics as there is a vacuum in the state.With the political situation in Tamil Nadu in a state of flux, sources close to Haasan told The Indian Express that the veteran actor is planning to launch his political outfit by the end of this month, with an eye on the local body elections expected to be held in November.
“Preparations to float a political party is in progress and the announcement is likely in a few days. Vijayadashami or Gandhi Jayanthi may be considered appropriate to make the announcement,” said a close aide of the actor.
“He is yet to share the final details with leaders of his fans’ groups but the upcoming local body elections have made it a necessity for him to step in,” he said.
Another source close to Haasan said the actor feels that it is necessary to enter politics at this juncture before any major alliances are forged by the Opposition DMK or the warring factions of the ruling AIADMK.
“This is the crucial time to enter. He thinks that there is a political vacuum in Tamil Nadu. He is overwhelmed by the response from the public on his recent statements taking on politicians in the state. He is busy meeting key faces of his fans’ groups besides sharing his ideas and draft papers for the new party with people whom he respects,” he said.
