"MNM thanks the Election Commission for granting us the 'Battery Torch' symbol for the forthcoming elections. So appropriate. MNM will endeavour to be the 'Torch-Bearer' for a new era in TN and Indian politics," Haasan said in a tweet.
Haasan had launched his political party MNM (People's Centre for Justice) last year and will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Last month speaking to reporters here, he said that the party will release the names of Lok Sabha candidates in phases and that youth will get preference in the selections.
