Last
week,
a
horrific
accident
took
place
on
the
sets
of
Kamal
Haasan
starrer
Indian
2,
leaving
three
crew
members
dead
and
10
severely
injured.
As
soon
as
the
news
broke,
condolence
messages
started
pouring
in
from
all
quarters
on
Twitter.
The
same
day,
Haasan
paid
homage
to
the
three
technicians
who
lost
their
lives
by
visiting
Kilpauk
hospital.
The
superstar,
while
addressing
the
media,
also
announced
that
he
would
be
offering
Rs
1
crore
each
to
the
three
families
of
the
deceased.
He
said,
"This
is
not
the
compensation
for
what
we
have
lost.
Some
of
them
are
very
poor
people.
Three
years
back,
I
was
in
an
accident.
I
know
how
difficult
it
is
to
recover
from
an
accident
like
this.
Of
the
three,
only
one
could
probably
afford."
After
Haasan,
Lyca
Productions
also
offered
Rs
2
crore
to
the
families
and
now
director
Shankar
has
come
forward
to
lend
financial
support.
Remembering
the
three
crew
members,
the
56-year-old
filmmaker
has
penned
down
a
heartfelt
letter
in
which
he
has
revealed
how
each
one
of
them
joined
the
Indian
2
team.

had
also
tweeted,
It

grief,
I'm

Since

I've
been
in
a
state
of
shock
&
having
sleepless
nights
on
the
loss
