Kamal will turn 63 this year.

"We discussed welfare activities that we have planned for his birthday across Tamil Nadu " Thangavelu treasurer of the All India Kamal Haasan Fans Welfare Association told the media here.

Last month he met Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and discussed the state of politics in Tamil Nadu.
