Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, who fractured his leg after slipping and falling from the stairs of his office here nearly two weeks ago, is still undergoing treatment in a private hospital, a source said.
“He’s still expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days. Having already undergone a minor surgery for compound fracture, he’s currently kept under observation,” a source close to the actor told IANS.
The “Vishwaroopam” star has been advised complete rest for at least a month.
“The doctors have instructed him to rest for a month. He was all set to commence the second schedule of his upcoming trilingual film from the last week of July. However, due to this unfortunate incident, the shoot has now been postponed to September,” the source said.
Two days after he underwent a surgery for a leg fracture at a hospital here, iconic Tamil actor Kamal Haasan said he was on the path of recovery.
“I stood up, sat and soon I will walk and come to thank you all. No words to thank you for your love, yours Kamal Haasan,” he said. The 61-year old actor tripped from the stairs of his office and suffered a fracture in his right leg here in the wee hours of July 14. He was operated the same day and was advised to be in the hospital for a few days.
Profusely thanking his fans and well wishers for their kind enquiries, the actor said they stand up for him in his moments of trouble even before he does it for himself.
“Be it a mishap or trouble, the love showered by fans, friends and well-wishers is amazing. What else could I say,” he said in a voice message from a private hospital here that has gone viral in social media.
Quipping that he did nothing to deserve so much love, Haasan said he had only reciprocated it by doing myriad roles in movies. “I am indebted to let you know whatever happens to me, good or bad. Successes and accidents are not strange for me,” he said in chaste Tamil. He said although he had learnt many lessons by overcoming hurdles but “I forgot to learn a lesson and this accident is proof for it.”
Kamal is directing as well as playing the lead in “Sabash Naidu”, which is being made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
The film, which is slated to release early next year, has music by maestro Ilayaraja.
