Here why Kamal Haasan is no mood to celebrate his birthday

He is the latest celeb to express solidarity with Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who has been in the hospital for over a month now.  Many political leaders, businessmen and top actors have been expressing solidarity with Jayalalithaa by paying visits to the Chennai hospital.

Recently in a tweet, he said: "an appeal to my friends (his fan clubs) - in view of the health of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister...my birthday functions should be avoided for sure."

Kamal, who was born in 1954, will turn 62 on November 7. Every year, his fan clubs organise blood donation campaigns, cleanliness drives and other social welfare programs to mark the birthday of the Kollywood star.

Kamal is currently busy in the production of a comedy trilingual Sabash Naidu.
