When asked why did he decide to leave films and launched his own political party, Haasan said, "I have earned enough bread and butter to survive. It may not be as much as Mr Mukesh Ambani, but I am satisfied. I am happy where I am today. The question that arises in my mind is 'what have I done for the people who admired and loved me unconditionally?' I shouldn't while away my time languishing on my past laurels. With the limited time I have, I want to offer my services to the people. I may sound like kanjoos as I spent 60 years satiating my needs, but if I go away without giving anything, I will feel guilty".
He also mentioned that he stopped chasing money when he was 21. Now, he works for satisfaction and people. He said, "I don't consider acting a job. If I did, I would feel claustrophobic. I have never worked to attain money or fame. I stopped pursuing that when I was 21. For me, there is nothing more satisfying than being on a film set".
The actor had recently tapped an episode of Dus Ka Dum with Salman Kha, as part of his promotional campaign.
