Kamal Haasan to become RS MP Sources indicate that Tamil superstar and actor turned politician Kamal Haasan is expected to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha from Tamil Nadu with the support of the DMK.

The next Rajya Sabha elections are scheduled for July 2025. Tamil Nadu Minister PK Sekar Babu met with Haasan at his residence on Wednesday.

Haasan Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) partnered with the DMK led alliance to campaign in the previous Lok Sabha elections. As part of this alliance MNM secured one seat for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.

Reports suggest that Chief Minister MK Stalin had guaranteed Haasan a Rajya Sabha seat in exchange for his support during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Haasan stated at the time that his party joined the alliance for the sake of the country and did not request any positions.

With six Rajya Sabha seats becoming vacant in June reports indicate that Sekar Babu communicated Stalin commitment to Haasan to send him to the Upper House of Parliament.
