Despite his party's full backing for the DMK-Congress alliance in tamil Nadu, the 70-year-old chose not to run in the lok sabha elections.
Haasan emphadata-sized that his decision to join the DMK-led group was motivated more by national interest than by individual political benefit.
Interestingly, Haasan first proposed the MNM in 2018 as a rival to the DMK and AIADMK, two Dravidian parties.
When he spoke during the party's eighth founding day festivities in chennai earlier this year, the multidata-faceted actor alluded to his debut in Parliament.
"Our voice will be heard in parliament this year. You will have a voice in the State assembly next year," he remarked.
