Apart from the two main alliances, there were three other major political parties that contested these polls, with two of them fighting as an alliance.
Earlier it was being said that Kamal Haasan will contest from Alandur, Chennai.
Chennai:
Kamal Haasan, veteran Tamil movie actor and founder of the fledgeling Makkal Needhi Maiam, will be contesting the upcoming state Assembly polls from the Coimbatore South constituency. He made the announcement today while releasing his party s second list of candidates. Grapevine had it earlier that he may choose to fight from Alandur in Chennai, a seat that former Chief Minister MG Ramachandran held for nine years.
The past two Assembly polls saw the Coimbatore South seat being won by the AIADMK, with the Amman K Arjunan being the current incumbent. Under a new seat-sharing deal, however, the ruling party passed the seat to its ally, the BJP, giving much heartburn to AIADMK cadres. In the 2019 general election, MNM gathered 11 per cent votes in the Coimbatore Lok Sabha constituency.

Chennai: Makkal Needhi Maiam s (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan will be making an electoral debut, by contesting from Coimbatore South assembly constituency in Tamil Nadu. The announcement was made during the release of the second list of his party s candidates for the Tamil Nadu polls. Remembering his late father Sreenivasan, Haasan said that the confidence of people from his constituency will enable him to express his views in the state Assembly. My father s dream was I should become an IAS officer and then enter politics. Though I could not realise his dream (of becoming an IAS officer), my party comprises many (former) IAS officers. That is a proud moment for us, he told reporters after announcing the list.
