Even as Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan is battling with the sudden demise of his elder brother Chandra Haasan, a few weeks back, another precious loss has occurred to him.

On Friday night, there was a fire accident on the third floor of Haasan's Alwarpet residence. Due to the fire many books and other precious materials have been destroyed. It is also said that the 62 year old actor was caught alone in a room engulfed by smoke and he was safely taken out by his servants and staff.
