What happened on 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' sets
Ashok Dubey from the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) told ETimes that the ceiling collapsed due to the vibrations from the sound system on set.
Choreographer Vijay Ganguly, who was working on the song with the cast members shared, “We were on the monitor when suddenly the ceiling collapsed. Luckily, it fell in parts, and we had a trough to protect us. Had the entire ceiling fallen on us, it could have been disastrous, but many people still got hurt. These old locations are often used for shoots, and as production companies, we are sure that the safety measures are checked. However, many times, the safety of the location isn’t properly verified before it’s offered for shooting.”
Ganguly further revealed that Aziz was hurt, the DOP fractured his thumb, camera attendance injured his spine, and he suffered injuries on his elbow and head.
Meanwhile, FWICE has written to the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and the BMC to highlight the safety concerns.
