After Arnold Schwarzenegger’s visit to Chennai, the city was abuzz with reports of Kamal Haasan's hospitalisation.

All sorts of wild rumours about his health were being spread.

Speaking from Chennai's Apollo Hospital, Haasan says, “I am here because of food poisoning and dehydration, nothing more serious than that.”

The stomach infection happened during a shoot.

"We were shooting in the interiors of Kerala where there are no proper restaurants," Haasan explains. "We ate at roadside dhabas, probably drank infected water. One of those makeshift food places did not agree with me. So here I am.”

As the news spread about Haasan's hospitalisation, crowds of anxious fans began swarming the hospital premise.

The actor tells us, "There's no cause for alarm."
