Kamal Haasan's tweet for Tamil Thalaivas mistaken as Political entry
Let us crticize, none is King now,
Let us spring up heartily, as we are not Kings like them.
If routed and dead, I am militant.
If I decide, I am Chief Minister.
Am I a slave because I bow?
Am I a loser if I shun the crown?
Its an error to shoo them as fools.
Paths can't be seen unless searched.
Come along with me Comrade,
one who sets out to smash absurdity will be leader.
This is what the poem read on Kamal Haasan's microblogging site leaving many to wonder if he was hinting at a political entry. Added to this, tamil actor Prasanna fuelled the speculations with his series of "support" tweets.

But as predicted by many media houses (including MovieCrow), the poem was directed towards his announcement of being the brand ambassador of the Pro Kabbadi league team Tamil Thalaivas. An official statement from the team confirmed the same earlier today.
“It gives us great pleasure and honor to announce Padma Bhushan Dr. Kamal Hassan as the brand ambassador of Tamil Thalaivas for the Pro Kabaddi League season 5. With his vast experience, we are sure he will be a great symbol of inspiration and motivation for the team to put p great game in the league. We wish to thank Mr. Kamal for being gracious enough to walk the journey with our Thalaivas."
