“We are old friends and I just came to meet him...shake hands,” Mr. Hassan said.

“He (Raj Thackeray) welcomed Mr. Kamal Hassan with shawl and flowers. It was just a casual meeting... there was no agenda behind it. They are friends, so he (Hassan) just came to meet him (Thackeray),” MNS spokesperson Sandip Deshpande said.

The meeting between the two bigwigs lasted for at least half an hour.
