Actor Ajay Devgan and his team are shooting for his upcoming movie Son of Sardar directed by Ashwini Dheer in Patiala. The movie has been in news since the shoot has started.
First Ajay Devgn and Arjan Bajwa were down with stomach infection and now a fatal incident occured on the sets of Son of Sardar.
One of the crew members lost his life. A light man named Machinder Arvel aka Bala, got electrocuted just a few metres away, from where Devgn was shooting for the film. While . On Monday, when Ajay Devgan and Mukul Dev were getting ready for their shot and light man Machinder Arvel ,Bipin Yadav and others were setting up the lights, a high voltage wire fell on them. Machinder died on the spot and Bipin Yadav, another light man, is currently in the ICU.
Ajay Devgan posted on twitter, "Its a sad day 2day bcoz during the shoot 2day we lost 1 of our men. Mourning his loss. D team has taken a big hit. Nothing can compensate his loss an my heart goes out to his family. We will do whatever we can to support them (sic)."
Dharmesh Tiwari, FWICE's President expressed serious concern over the incidents. Ganesh Khandane (Bala's brother-in-law and also a light man by profession) said that his sister and he are deeply shocked by the incident. He added that they are grateful to FWICE that his brother's body is being flown to Mumbai. Even though they are clueless about what to do after this unfortunate incident, they are planning to demand compensation from Ajay Devgn.
Prem Singh Thakur (Vice Chairman of the Union), explained that a hi-voltage 11,000 Watts line was running overhead, just above the streamer. When the streamer was being raised, the hi-voltage line lifted it to a great height, much towards itself. He added that the incident took place when the light men were trying to raise a streamer so as to increase the intensity of light that would fall on the faces of actors Ajay Devgn and Mukul Dev.
Meanwhile not only Ajay but co-stars of the film (Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla and others) have decided to offer compensation to help Machinder's family in Mumbai. The shooting was called off for a day after the accicdent and resumed on the next day.
