Overwhelmed after visiting former President late Dr APJ Abdul Kalam's house in Rameswaram, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan on Wednesday said that greatness always comes from the simplest of houses,  which Kalam belonged to. Haasan met President Kalam's brother and sister-in-law at Rameswaram.


However, Haasan's visit to President Kalam's School in Rameswaram, was cancelled due to some unspecified reasons. The actor will mark the beginning of his political from his hometown in Rameswaram.


The Hindu Munnani organisation has objected to the 'politicisation of the school' and has written to the district collector in this regard.


Haasan aims to change the political scenario of Tamil Nadu, which has lately been in turmoil following the death of chief minister J Jayalalithaa.


Haasan is now addressing a press conference at Rameswaram. When asked if he was feeling jittery about the launch of the party, he said it was not like a first day, first show. He said it was not a Vishwaroopam day for him, it was just like any other day. Vishwaroopam is a 2013 spy thriller film, written, directed and co-produced by Kamal Haasan, who also enacts the lead role. The film, incidentally, grossed over Rs 200 crore.


Kamal Haasan is on his way to Madurai from Rameshwaram and he will be making pit stops to speak to people.
