The filming of Sabaash Naidu which was kickstarted last week at Los Angeles, US with the team members has been facing a little struggle as the director T.K.Rajeev Kumar was diagnosed with high fever and hospitalised. Initially Kamal Haasan himself took the effort to direct the first few sequences in the film including a song.
Looks like the director will be unable to join the team even after few days and hence the direction has to be taken over by the actor. Few sources report that Rajeev Kumar has been affected with the Lyme disease and will take several months to recover from it. Hence left with no other choice, Kamal Haasan has to pull the strings together to make the project going. Also there are only 50 days left to be shot at US as per the planned schedule and there is a tight deadline ahead.
The team has to wrap up the shooting by August first week and return back to India else they had to undergo tedious formalities with US officials seeking further permission to stay there. Kamal Haasan has now turned to be Sabaash Naidu's director apart from acting as well as producing it. His second daughter Akshara Haasan has also joined him as Assistant director and so the Haasan family is good to go.
