Another Kollywood titan Kamal Haasan lauded Modi and said it should be cerebrated by tax payers, who are usually the first victims of black money and corruption. “Salute Mr. Modi. This move has to be celebrated across political party lines. Most importantly, by earnest tax payers,” the Vishwaroopam actor said.”This step was taken in the interest of our honest citizens who deserve a better India,” the Prime Minister responded.

It is worth mentioning that Kamal was one of Modi’s nine nominees who were selected to spearhead his Swachh Bharat Abhiyan or ‘Clean India’ campaign. He had nominated nine celebrated persons from different walks of life and had asked each of them to nominate nine other people to turn his ‘Clean India’ campaign into a people’s movement.

Modi also responded to Telugu actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, who congratulated him for his efforts to boost India’s economy. “Tweeting frm Paris/congrats @narendramodi Ji!!for rewarding us tax payers/india on the way to become a super economy (sic)#IndiaFightsCorruption.”

Dear @iamnagarjuna, this step will check corruption, black money and fake currency rackets that slow our progress. https://t.co/qns6cyosAB
