Kamal, who turned 63 on Tuesday, will not celebrate his birthday as people in Chennai are distressed by heavy rains. He will instead visit a medical camp and a rain-affected area.
Kamal, who has set his eyes on a political career, has said the first step towards it will be the launch of a mobile software app on Tuesday as it will enable him to be in touch with the fans and also enable book-keeping.
Kamal has been active of late with comments on the political situation, both at the national and state level, often being critical of the ruling parties.
