Kamal Haasan has returned to the sets of the 'Kalki 2898 AD' sequel, directed by Nag Ashwin. His recent choice to travel in economy class, foregoing private charters, has garnered significant attention. Vyjayanthi Movies, the production house, shared a candid photograph of the legendary actor on X, praising his simplicity and highlighting the gesture amidst the industry's financial challenges. This act follows Haasan's earlier appeal to the Indian film industry to address escalating production costs.
Haasan's earlier letter urged a reduction in avoidable waste, poor planning, and inflated entourage culture within the industry. He emphasized the need for a disconnect between spending and purpose. The actor had previously begun shooting for the 'Kalki 2898 AD' sequel with Amitabh Bachchan earlier this year, marking a reunion after their last collaboration in 'Giraftar'.
Beyond 'Kalki 2898 AD', where he played the antagonist, Haasan has a packed schedule. He is slated to star alongside Rajinikanth in a film directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and is also working on a project with the director duo Anbarivu. Furthermore, Haasan is producing a film starring Rajinikanth and Sivakarthikeyan's 'Seyon'.
