In a strong rebuke, the All India Cine Workers Association has denounced the blatant safety breaches on the ‘Dhurandhar 2’ film set. Backing the BMC’s measures against Aditya Dhar’s B62 Studios, the group is rallying for tougher regulations to safeguard crew members.
‘Enough is enough,’ the association proclaims, insisting on rigorous legal action against those endangering lives. President Suresh Shyamlal Gupta emphasized, ‘Film industry workers’ safety and respect are non-negotiable. Production houses must adhere to the law—no exceptions.’
Gupta urged mandatory inspections at all shoots and harsh punishments for violations. The association pledges unwavering support for workers until safety becomes non-negotiable industry-wide.
Details of the ‘Dhurandhar 2’ fiasco reveal a pattern of carelessness: flaming torches in restricted areas, unapproved site shifts, and rogue gas/generator operations. Such oversights have plagued Bollywood for years, leading to deadly fires, electrocutions, and collapses at key studios like Goregaon.
Workers have suffered fatalities and severe injuries, yet complaints to state leaders and BMC have yielded slow responses. This impunity allows negligence to flourish amid Mumbai’s daily shoot frenzy, where compliance is the exception.
Praising BMC’s blacklist proposal and fines for B62, the association sees it as a precedent-setting move. It’s a call to action for systemic change, ensuring every set prioritizes human life over deadlines and budgets.
