Kochi: Veteran film personality Kamal Haasan on Friday met Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Thiruvananthapuram.

He said the purpose of visit was both political and personal. He was supposed to visit Pinarayi during last Onam but could not do so due to an accident.

He said he could learn a lot from the Left government which was doing a commendable job.

On a Tamil actor’s remarks that Kamal Haasan was `taking refuge in politics due to poor work in films’, he evaded a direct reply.
