Coimbatre/Salem: It took a second glimpse – third for many – to realize that the man who was walking past them in a brisk manner in navy blue jogging suit wearing a black face mask was Kamal Haasan.
The matinee idol turned politician thought it fit to get out of the gym of the star hotel where he was staying and join the joggers and walkers in Race Course in the city on Tuesday. Clearly, the men and women who had come to Race Course hoping for another routine day went back with a pleasant surprise.
Kamal had hit the Race Course road as early as 6am leaving them in disbelief. Race Course falls in Coimbatore South segment, where Kamal is contesting. As they came closer, Kamal exchanged pleasantries, shook hands with some and interacted with a few.
