Fatal accident occurs on sets of Son Of Sardar

Yesterday, the incident that took place on the sets of producer-actor Ajay Devgn's forthcoming film Son Of Sardar (directed by Ashwini Dheer) was shocking. A light man named Machinder Arvel AKA Bala, got electrocuted just a few metres away, from where Devgn was shooting for the film and died on the spot. While Bipin Yadav, another light man, is in the ICU.

Dharmesh Tiwari, FWICE's President expressed serious concern over the incidents and termed it as a tragedy. Meanwhile, 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 into Mumbai. Even though they are clueless about what to do after this unfortunate incident, they are planning to demand compensation from Ajay Devgn.

Throwing more light on the untimely incident, 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. In the same context, he even met Kumar Mangat (a close associate of Ajay Devgn), who promised that he will leave no stone unturned in compensating Machinder's family.

Meanwhile, Ajay and his co-stars of the film (Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla and others) have decided to offer compensation to help Machinder's family. Actor-producer Ajay Devgn took to social networking site, Twitter, mourning over the incident with a post saying, "It's 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."

Ajay also played dutiful producer, sympathizing with and vowing to compensate the family of the lost member, saying, "Nothing can compensate his loss an my heart goes out to his family! We will do whatever we can to support them." The unit is also planning to have pooja on Tuesday morning before they resume shooting.

Bollywood Hungama offers its deepest condolences to Machinder's family as well as prays for the quick and able recovery of Bipin Yadav.
