It’s a bad situation ruining the sets of Jailer 2 when a 28-year-old crew member reportedly died when the crew member was electrocuted while shooting the film.
The unfortunate wreck sent shockwaves through the Tamil film establishment and looms large in the shadow of the long-awaited sequel to Rajinikanth. "The electric wire or equipment is apparently touching the work area," it reported. The victim was seriously wounded but rushed for medical help, only to be prevented from doing so.
This supposedly happened while work related to production that was tied up with the movie's technical infrastructure was still unfolding. Film staff and industry workers reported mourning the unexpected death. The filming hiatus, because of the incident, was a consequence of workers and colleagues mourning.
Jailer 2 is one of the most anticipated Tamil films in production right now, especially after the first film's rousing commercial success. While waiting for Rajinikanth’s return, the public has been eagerly anticipating the announcement of the sequel.
A lot of talking has been reignited about workplace safety in the film industry due to the tragedy, including on overhanging work shoots, on large work sets with heavy electricals, lights and action scenes.
There would also be a corresponding increase in the chances of future accidents happening if they had tighter safety measures in place on-set, industry observers said. Neither the film’s production staff nor the senior people on the staff had replied from the filmmakers or a formal statement from senior management immediately following the accident at the time of the report.
This was mourned by fans and also by movie-goers and film crowd-pleasers online on social media. Information about how this film will also be made in a few days. Yet details on the investigation and the schedule for making this movie should be forthcoming.
