Chennai, Aug 30 - Actor-social activist Rahul Bose feels that movies can't change society but can help make sensible people 'more sensible'.

'Films have a small impact on society - it can be negative or positive. But the impact is very little. But at the same time I feel movies can make sensible people more sensible and that sense of compassion will make you a better human being,' said Rahul.

The actor, known for his powerful performances in 'English August' and 'Mr. and Mrs. Iyer', was here for a campaign.

'I'm into activism because I just feel like it. I strongly feel it from my heart. In my opinion, if you feel like doing some change for your society, do it from your heart, not from your brain. For me, issues like gender equality, communal harmony, climate change and child rights are of utmost priority. In my case, activism comes very naturally,' he said.

Do you think that an actor should be political?

'I think everybody should be political.
