Sources in the party said Kamal Haasan informed the functionaries to begin the work for the election and strengthen the party. They were informed to be prepared either if the party goes for an alliance or if intends to compete alone.

The party founded by Haasan in 2018 contested in the 2019 general election and 2021 assembly polls and failed to win any seat. In the 2019 polls, the party secured 3.7 per cent of votes and it further reduced to 2.6 per cent in the 2021 polls. Haasan, who contested in the Coimbatore (South) lost to BJP’s Vanitha Srinivasan by over 1,700 votes. The poor performance of the party in elections led to a mass exodus of senior party members.
