A shocking safety debacle on the ‘Dhurandhar 2’ set has prompted the All India Cine Workers Association to voice vehement opposition. They applaud BMC’s response targeting Aditya Dhar’s B62 Studios, urging a safety revolution in filmmaking.
The demand is clear: enforce rules rigorously, prosecute the culpable, and end the endangerment of lives. Association head Suresh Shyamlal Gupta asserted, ‘Workers, techs, and laborers deserve utmost protection. No entity transcends legal bounds.’
Pushing for persistent monitoring and stern repercussions, the association commits to advocacy until reforms stick. ‘Dhurandhar 2’ exposed flaming hazards in no-go areas, rogue location hops, and banned utilities—a grim repeat of history.
Decades of ignored protocols have bred disasters: lethal infernos, shocks, plummets at prime venues like Goregaon, costing lives and limbs. Letters to authorities pleading for checks and swift interventions have fallen short, perpetuating risks.
Mumbai’s shoot-saturated landscape amplifies the crisis, with most outfits skimping on basics. Yet, BMC’s blacklist and fine recommendations for B62 signal hope—a deterrent that could reshape industry practices for good.
