Veteran actor Kamal Haasan, who has announced his foray into politics, will deliver an address at the Harvard University on February 10, speaking on issues 'plaguing' Tamil Nadu.
"The topic is Tamil Nadu.I chose to speak on it out of sheer necessity. Our state has sunk to the lowest depth," he was quoted as saying in a release issued by his publicist.
He will be speaking on issues "plaguing" the state at the university's annual Indian conference.
This will be the actor-director's second address at the institute, after his 2016 lecture there on freedom of expression, it said.
"Harvard is a seat of learning like our Nalanda University....these platforms are important and can't be neglected. This is going to be an engagement with more fortunate minds who availed an opportunity to seek knowledge," he said.
