In his post on X, the actor wrote that it is an honor for him to meet PM Modi. On this occasion, he also apprised him of the major concerns of the people of Tamil Nadu.

Kamal Haasan wrote in his post, "Today I had the privilege of meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As a representative of the people of Tamil Nadu and an artist, I put forward some requests to him, the most important of which was to expedite the recognition of the antiquity of Keeladi. I urged the Prime Minister to support the Tamil people in showcasing the grandeur of Tamil civilization and the glory of the Tamil language to the world."
