There were reports yesterday that Kamal Haasan was injured on the sets of Papanasam in Kerala and rushed to hospital citing respiratory problems. Kamal Haasan has refuted the reports and sent an official clarification later. “Before various new ailments are endowed upon me,I hasten to clarify that all is well . It is not true that i was injured while shooting . It was a make up rubber prosthetic that slipped into my nasal passage and had to be carefully removed under medical supervision. It was a stunt scene so I had simulated injuries on the face. A visit to the hospital with a bruised face led to the interpolated news . I am alright,” said Kamal Haasan.
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, Papanasam has Kamal Haasan and Gautami in lead roles and the film is in the final leg of shooting in Kerala.
