The actor joined the token fast in Chennai to support the social activist.
"(It is) Wonderful to see the movement against corruption. We should not let the momentum die. Jan Lokpal makes lots of sense. Sustainability is important," he said.
"I take a pledge to not bribe anyone for anything," the actor added.
Tamil actor R. Parthiban too came out strongly in support of Anna Hazare.
Speaking to NDTV, he said that even after 65 years of Independence, the menace of corruption is prevalent. He also expressed the desire to make a film on the menace of corruption.
