Actor Kamal Haasan caused quite an alarm among his fans after he was rushed to Apollo Hospital after feeling sick. The doctors there confirmed that he was suffering from acute food poisoning. The actor, however, is doing fine now and says that there is no cause of alarm for him.

"I know a lot of people would like to make a drama out of this. Sorry to disappoint them. I am fine. It's just a simple case of food poisoning. No cause for alarm," Kamal said over phone.

On Tuesday, Chennai was abuzz with reports of Kamal's hospitalisation.

Talking about the reason, he said: "I am here because of food poisoning and dehydration. Nothing more serious than that."

The stomach infection occurred while shooting for a film.

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