Kamal Haasan: “Mahatma Gandhi influenced me to be on social media”

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan stated that it was Mahatma Gandhi with whose influence he joined social media and further said that he was the man who rose up to speak in times when it was dangerous to speak.

“No Indian filmmaker has had full freedom of speech as compared to the rest of the world. Hence, I must complain I’ve never had my freedom, I’m yet to see my full freedom,” Haasan told India Today.

“Time divides freedom and anarchy. Freedom should come with ‘Lakshman Rekha’. Freedom will be constant. Freedom is like your body; you have to feed it, guard it and take care of it,” he added.

Kamal, who has been a prominent member of the entertainment industry for over five decades now, joined Twitter on 26th January 2016.
