Chennai: Movie actor Kamal Haasan, on Thursday, called Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal his relative and even got an invitation from him to join politics.

The actor, who has increasingly made political statements, said, "all those opposed to corruption -- Kejriwal included -- were his 'relatives'. The Tamil icon stated that he was obliged and it was a great privilege that the Delhi Chief Minister desired to meet him.

The Delhi CM flew down at Haasan's residence and met him for around an hour. They shared views on various subjects and have hinted on meeting again soon.

Statements from the two also hinted the possibility of the actor joining the race of some big politicos in the country.

Saying the media may have guessed what they discussed, the actor said all those who fight corruption would be his 'relatives' and as such Kejriwal 'too is a relative'.

The AAP leader said the country was facing the problems of corruption and communalism. People, he said, were against communalism and Kamal Haasan too had spoken against it.

Urging Kamal Haasan to enter politics, Kejriwal said the two discussed about the situation in the country as well as in Tamil Nadu. He further said, "Kamal Haasan a person of integrity and courage. When the country is facing corruption and communalism all like-minded people should talk together. We indeed had an excellent meeting."
