When Gautham Menon's luxury car crashed into a lorry near Chennai, on Thursday morning, least did he know that the close shave with danger would be a life-altering experience. Also, when a passer-by went out of his way to help him, his "faith" in humanity was restored.

"Humbled by the concern and the wishes. A life-altering experience. I`m fine and waiting to start filming. Thank you, especially to Gopalkrishnan from HCL whose kindness last night to me reinstated my faith in people," the acclaimed director says.

As per reports, the front part of his car was severely affected. The sight of the same tells how fatal it could have turned out to be.

His fans await the release of Vikram's 'Dhruva Natchatiram'.
