On Saturday, several people were injured at the shoot of Mere Husband Ki Biwi in Mumbai, after the ceiling of the set collapsed. The injured include actor Arjun Kapoor, producer Jackky Bhagnani, director Mudassar Aziz and many crew members.

However, Federation of Western India Cine Employees’ (FWICE) president Birendra Nath Tiwari assures that nobody has suffered serious injuries. “Shukar hai kisi ko kuch zyada laga nahin. Jahaan shooting ho rahi thi, wahaan pe shooting band kara di gayi hai for safety reasons. The ceiling collapsed due to poor maintenance,” he said.

Tiwari adds that the federation is trying to bring in long-term changes: “We have written to the Prime Minister as well as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra over the health and safety of workers in the industry. We have written to the Film City [studio authorities] too, that the foundations [of the sets] are so old that they can collapse any day. So, a structural audit needs to be done. There is no exit gate in case of a mishap. Puri film industry bhagwan ke sahare chal rahi hai, par bhagwan bhi kab tak hi dekhega.”
