With the compulsory helmet rule coming into force on July 1, actor Kamal Haasan urged two-wheeler riders to wear a helmet and drive safe. At a press interaction few weeks earlier, Kamal Haasan was criticised for not wearing a helmet in a sequence in Papanasam where the actor is seen riding a two-wheeler with three other characters on the same bike.
Referring to criticism, the actor said, “Please wear a helmet while riding a two-wheeler. The argument usually is that we actors don’t wear helmet in the movies. The stunts performed on a pipe at a circus cannot be performed on the pipes at home,” he said.
He further pointed out that cinema is a make-believe world.
The star had drawn flak for riding bike without one in his upcoming movie ‘Papanasam’
