‘No one should die on a Film set’

Priyanka Chopra said reacting to Alec Baldwin accidentally shooting film crew. Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on film set of ‘Rust’, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins & injuring director Joel Souza.

Alec Baldwin expressed his grief in his tweets.’ My heart is broken for her husband, their son, all who knew & loved Halyna’.

It is not the first incident. It brings back memories of Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee’s son getting killed on the set. The gun had a live shot after the dud. It took his life.

Kangana in 2017 had sustained an injury on the sets of Manikarnika while shooting a sword fight sequence with co-star Nihar Pandya. She was taken to Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad.Her right leg was fractured on the same film.

When Amitabh Bachchan was injured on the sets of ‘Coolie’ his life was in danger. He must have shot so many action scenes before but the corner of the table hit him hard in the stomach & his life hung on a thin thread for months. Puneet Issar, his co-star must have been ridden with guilt forever.

The best wishes & blessings of the entire nation brought him back. He is our living legend & a source of inspiration… a demiGod. We don’t do temples as in the Southern parts of India but the idol remains in our hearts forever.

The near death experiences do teach us the value of life but can’t we avoid them? If fire works are used, the rest of the unused material needs to be packed up securely. There have been freak instances when a boy got killed by the cracker suddenly being ignited ! Job done should be thorough. It may cost someone his life!!!
