Actor-politician Kamal Haasan has tested positive for coronavirus. The actor, who recently returned from the USA, took to social media to announce this news.

He wrote, "After returning from my US trip, I had a slight cough. On examination, it was confirmed that I had contracted the coronavirus. I have isolated myself in the hospital. It is a reminder that the epidemic is not over yet. I request everyone to stay safe."

The actor, who is also hosting the popular reality show, Bigg Boss Tamil, went to US to launch his KH House of Khaddar brand. 

Meanwhile, on the acting front, he is currently filming Lokesh Kangaraj's Vikram, which also stars Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil.

On the other hand, speculations were also rife that Kamal will work with Vetri Maaran in the future after news regarding a meeting between the two went viral. Vetri Maaran, however, has clarified in a recent interview that it was a formal meeting, thereby ruling out the possibility of an immediate project. Kamal is also rumoured to be in talks with Pa Ranjith and Mahesh Narayanan for possible collaborations
