Chennai, Nov 7 (IBNS): Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modis call for a nation-wide cleanliness drive, actor Kamal Haasan will celebrate his 60th birthday joining the much-touted Swachh Bharat campaign on Friday, media reports said.

Sources said haasan is expected to lead volunteers from his fan club-turned-social welfare organisation to clean up a lake outside Chennai.

Some of Haasan’s actor friends are also likely to join him in the clean-up initiative.

The Swachh Bharat mission was launched by PM Modi on October 2 to mark Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary.

The PM had tagged several prominent personalities and politicians asking them to involve others in the cleaning drive.

Haasan was one of the nine celebrities the PM had nominated. He accepted it as a nation-building exercise, reports said.
