"We had an excellent meeting and exchanged our ideas. Kamal Haasan should enter politics," Arvind Kejriwal said.

"We will continue to discuss and meet each other in future also," he added.

Kamal Haasan in the recent past has indicated many a times that he would join politics. However, after the meeting, both leaders did not clarify if Haasan will be joining AAP.

Haasan has been very active politically of late, often times levying corruption charges against the state government.

He had congratulated the CPI(M)-led LDF government in Kerala for "good governance" on its first anniversary in May this year. He fuelled speculation about his expected political plunge when he attended an event organised by the DMK party in Chennai in August.

Haasan had been opposing the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, whose political adversary DMK has voiced support for him.
