Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan managed to escape a fire accident by “climbing down from the third floor” at his residence in the Indian city of Chennai on Friday night.

Next morning after the incident, Haasan took to Twitter to clarify that no one got hurt. “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,” he wrote.

In another tweet, Haasan thanked his fans for their love and support and wrote, “Thanks for all the love and concern. Now off to sleep. Good night indeed.”

The actor, who is currently mourning the death of his elder brother Chandra Haasan, is all set to recommence work on his multi-lingual action comedy Sabash Naidu, having fully recovered from a leg injury which kept him out of action for nearly a year.
