Kamal Haasan's hosting skills have been appreciated and he has used the platform effectively to air his political views. He has often taken digs at the prevailing political situation. However, it was during when the AIADMK government was in power.

Now, the DMK has returned to power after 10 years. It has to be seen whether Kamal Haasan would be critical of MK Stalin's government.

Coming back to his films, he is working on Lokesh Kanagaraj's Vikram. His other project Indian 2 directed by Shankar is delayed.
