MNM insists that Kamal is keen on contesting on ‘Battery Torch’ symbol

The suspense over which Parliamentary constituency MNM founder Kamal Haasan will choose to contest from continues, even as a number of options, including Coimbatore, have been mooted by party sources.

Mr. Haasan met party workers in Coimbatore in September last year and expressed his wish to contest from the constituency.
