Kamal Haasan narrowly escapes fire tragedy

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan on Saturday said he escaped a fire at his home in Chennai on Friday night.

“Thanks to my staff. Escaped a fire at my house. Lungs full of smoke; I climbed down from the third floor. I am safe, No one hurt. Goodnight,” Haasan tweeted early on Saturday.

He also thanked his fans for their “love and concern”.

Haasan is currently mourning the death of his older brother Chandrahasan, who died in March.

On the career front, he is all set to recommence work on his multi-lingual action comedy Sabash Naidu, having fully recovered from a leg injury that kept him out of action for nearly a year.
