EVP Film City: Four accidents in four years!

Wednesday’s tragedy on the sets of ‘Indian 2’ at Chennai’s EVP Film City has brought into focus the accidents that took place here in the recent past.

In 2017, a mechanic fell from the second floor during the making of Kamal Haasan-hosted Bigg Boss (Tamil). Days later, the victim succumbed to injuries.

In 2016, a technician died on the sets of Superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Kaala’ when he accidentally stepped on a live wire. 

Last year, on the sets of Tamil superstar Vijay’s ‘Bigil’, an electrician was severely injured during the shoot of a scene when a floodlight fell on him.  This should have been a wakeup call.

Yesterday’s tragedy was the biggest of all.  Three technicians lost their lives and 11 were injured by the crane crash.  Kamal Haasan, Shankar and Kajal Aggarwal had a providential escape.
