KUALA LUMPUR – Indian film superstar Kamal Haasan is in town for a promotional stint on his latest film Vikraam, which will premiere in Malaysia on June 3.

Among those the 67-year-old award-winning actor-director met was opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The PKR president posted photographs of him having dinner with Kamal on his Facebook page, saying the two discussed a number of issues, including the fight against corruption.

“I will be attending the grand premiere of Vikraam in Kuala Lumpur on June 3,” Anwar posted.

The Indian actor has been seen to be a staunch supporter of Anwar’s political career, to the extent of endorsing his friend’s 2018 political campaign during the Port Dickson by-election, which saw Anwar elected into Parliament once again.

Videos in Tamil and English surfaced less than 36 hours before polling day, featuring Kamal who had then described Anwar as a “beacon of hope”, adding that the Malaysian politician “belonged” in Parliament. – The Vibes, May 29, 2022
