The meeting comes ahead of the release of Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil Gowda's debut Kannada movie "Jaguar".
Both the leaders maintained that it was just a "courtesy" meeting.
"We are friends and I am also a fan of him. This meeting is not for any political issues. We are very close friends since last eight years. My son Nikhil Kumar is also entering Telugu film industry. I wanted to take his blessings for Nikhil," Kumaraswamy said.
"Actually my son wanted to move into Telugu (film industry). Personally, I wanted to request my brother (Kalyan) to treat him as his own brother and give all cooperation and blessings to him and for that I came here," he said
"It is only a courtesy call. I know Kumaraswamy since 2008. His son is featuring in a new film," Kalyan said.
Asked if any political discussions took place during their meeting, he said,"...Nothing like that".
Kumaraswamy also showed teaser of his son's upcoming movie to him.
