Kamal Haasan set to be nominated for Rajya Sabha with DMK's backing

Tamil superstar-turned-politician Kamal Haasan is set to be nominated for a Rajya Sabha seat from Tamil Nadu with the support of the DMK, according to reports. The next round of Rajya Sabha elections is scheduled to take place in July 2025. 

The speculation



gained traction after DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Minister PK Sekar Babu met Haasan at his residence on Wednesday. While Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) described it as a courtesy call by the minister, party sources said the brief discussions were only on "the broad political scenario and nothing specific."
