Kamal Haasan fractures leg, hospitalised

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, who was taking a break between schedules of his upcoming comedy trilingual Sabash Naidu, fractured his leg after slipping and falling from the stairs of his office here.

“On Wednesday night, while taking the stairs, he suddenly slipped and lost control. The fall resulted in a minor fracture, but there’s nothing to worry. He has been admitted in the Apollo hospital,” a source close to the actor said.

Haasan’s plan to attend the London Indian Film Festival (LIFF) this weekend stands cancelled. “He was supposed to receive the Lifetime Achievement award at LIFF, which unfortunately he can’t attend in this position,” the source said.
