In a humble gesture, veteran actor Kamal Haasan was recently spotted travelling in economy class on a regular IndiGo commercial flight to Hyderabad for the shoot of Kalki 2898 AD sequel, instead of opting for a luxury chartered private jet.
This happened amid rising production costs and tough times in the Indian film industry. The makers of the film, Vyjayanthi Movies, publicly praised him on social media, writing:
“Mr. @ikamalhaasan choosing to let go of private charters and luxury travel to take an economy flight and head straight to the shoot sets, at a time when the industry is navigating tough realities, this says everything about the legend he is. A first step towards greater things to happen in cinema.”
The move has gone viral, with fans and the industry hailing it as a real example of leadership and cost-consciousness from one of Indian cinema’s biggest stars.
