Not following adequate safety measures while filming risky sequences during film shootings will often lead to death of movie artists and technicians. There were many incidents in the past when such tragedies resulted in deaths at the shooting locations.
The latest mishap that claimed the life of a stuntman happened earlier today during the shooting of Tamil actor Karthi’s recently launched film Sardar 2. The incident happened when the team was shooting a heavy-duty action episode in a special set erected in Prasad Lab, Chennai.
In this incident, a stuntman named Ezhumalai fell from an elevation of 20 feet and succumbed to grave injuries. He died on way to the hospital. They suspended the shooting with immediate effect.
In 2020, an unfortunate accident on the sets of Indian 2 resulted in the death of three persons including an assistant director. Shankar and his team abandoned shooting for several days at that time.
Kollywood highly anticipates Sardar 2 as one of the sequels this year. The formal launch took place a few days ago and the regular shooting kicked off simultaneously. Directed by PS Mithran and produced by Prince Pictures, the film features music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
