Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met veteran actor Kamal Haasan and hailed him for coming out against communalism and corruption amid mounting speculation that the latter would take a political plunge.
Kejriwal also said that the 62-year-old multilingual actor should enter politics.
Haasan, who has of late been dropping hints on taking the political plunge, showered praise on Kejriwal, saying the Delhi chief minister has a national profile of fighting against corruption and communalism.
Stating that he was honoured by Kejriwal's visit, Haasan said his endeavour was to seek advice from anyone fighting against communalism and corruption.
Earlier on his arrival, Kejriwal was received at the airport by Haasan's youngest daughter Akshara.
Haasan has been critical of the AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu over various issues including corruption, triggering sharp condemnation from some state ministers.
