Exclusive! Will Akshara Haasan campaign for Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam? Here’s what the actress had to say

A lot of celebrities often end up joining politics after having a successful career in films. Be it Jaya Bachchan, Jaya Prada or Shatrughan Sinha for that matter. So when Kamal Haasan, who is a superstar down south and has also worked in the Hindi film industry, decided to join politics it wasn’t shocking to say the least. In February 2018, the talented actor formed his own party Makkal Needhi Maiam in Tamil Nadu and since then has been very active politically. However, his younger daughter doesn’t seem too interested in the profession. Akshara Haasan, who made her acting debut in 2015 with Shamitabh, was asked if she would campaign for her dad’s party.

And the pretty actress said, “No, I won’t be campaigning because that is something that we keep separate and it is his choice to do that and it doesn’t affect us at all.” But Akshara also pointed out that they do respect and support him at home and are proud of him for doing a great job so far.

While politics is clearly not Akshara’s cup of tea, the actress will next be seen in the web series titled ‘Shortcuts’ on Voot. The series, which will be out on February 8, will showcase 12 very different and interesting short stories on the web platform.

While talking to us, the 27-year-old also revealed that she is eagerly waiting to do a quirky commercial Bollywood film next. She is taking formal training in mixed martial arts and wants to some action on the big screen. Since Akshara has always been sporty, the actress is quite keen on doing action films as well. In that case, let’s hope all the filmmakers out there are listening to her. In the meantime, Akshara is currently looking forward to her Tamil film Kadaram Kondan which stars Vikram in the lead. The action-thriller is being produced by Kamal Haasan himself.
