Kamal Haasan urges fans to prioritize safety by wearing helmets while riding, following criticism over his own bike sequence in Papanasam.
In support of the state government's decision to make helmet rule mandatory from Wednesday, actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan has urged everybody to wear a helmet and drive safe.
Haasan recently received a flak from fans for shooting a bike sequence in his forthcoming Tamil release "Papanasam" without wearing a helmet.
"Please wear a helmet while riding a two-wheeler. It's for your own safety. Actors are usually blamed for not wearing helmets in films. The stunts performed in a movie or in a circus can't be performed at home," Kamal said in a video.
His "Papanasam", a remake of Malayalam blockbuster "Drishyam", is slated for release on Friday in cinemas.
