Indian 2 accident: I have lost three of my colleagues, says Kamal Haasan

Film crew members who were injured have been admitted in a hospital.

In another tweet, Kamal wrote, “I have spoken to the doctors of those who were injured. Proper first aid was promptly carried out. Let’s spend the night hoping that the injured recover well”

எத்தனையோ விபத்துக்களை சந்தித்து, கடந்திருந்தாலும் இன்றைய விபத்து மிகக் கொடூரமானது. மூன்று சகாக்களை இழந்து நிற்கிறேன்.எனது வலியை விட
அவர்களை இழந்த குடும்பத்தினரின் துயரம் பன்மடங்கு இருக்கும். அவர்களில் ஒருவனாக அவர்களின் துயரத்தில் பங்கேற்கிறேன்.அவர்களுக்கு என் ஆழ்ந்த அனுதாபங்கள்

மருத்துவமனையில் விபத்தில் சிக்கியவர்களை பார்த்து மருத்துவர்களிடம் பேசியுள்ளேன்.

முதலுதவி வழங்கப்பட்டு உரிய சிகிச்சைக்கான வேலைகள் நடக்கிறது.

இவர்கள் விரைவாக உடல் நலம் பெற்றிடுவார்கள் என்ற நம்பிக்கையுடனே இந்த இரவு விடியட்டும்.

A crane fell on the set of Indian 2.

The accident happened during the shooting of Indian 2 at EVP Film City in Poonamallee, Chennai.

EVP Film City has seen several such unfortunate incidents in the past. It is worth noting that an elderly electrician was seriously injured when a focus light atop a crane dropped on him during the shooting of actor Vijay’s film Bigil.

Indian 2 is a sequel to Shankar’s 1996 vigilante drama Indian. It is being bankrolled by Lyca Productions.
