As per the schedule released by the actor’s team, he will begin the day with a visit to former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s house in Rameswaram.
After paying visits to the former President’s school and memorial, he will hold an interaction with fisherfolk.

Ahead of the launch of his political party, the actor met CPI leader R. Nallakannu in Chennai on Saturday.
Describing the meeting as a courtesy call, he said, “This is beyond party affiliation. The reason why I met him is that he has made sacrifices for the people and has lived a humble life,” he said. “I am meeting people who have inspired me. I am getting into politics, and want to take counsel from people who have excelled in it,” he said.
