"The
unit
is
shaken
by
the
unforeseen
incident.
In
fact
,
the
team

Bhansali
Productions
proactively
reached
out
to
the
deceased
painter's
family
and
compensated
them
to
the
tune
of
23
lakhs.
The
production
house
gave
the
painter's
family,
namely
his
mother,
brother,
wife
and
mother-in-law
financial
aid
,
as
support
during
this
challenging
phase
in
their
life.
This
took
place
in
the
presence
of
members
of
the
Film
Studios
Setting
and
Allied
Mazdoor
Union
and
the
late
painter's
family.
The
union
agreed
that
it
was
a
generous
compensation
and
thanked
the
production
house
for
it.
Sanjay
sir
believes
that
the
loss
of
life
cannot
be
ever
compensated
but
the
concern
over
the
family's
future
has
at
least
been
addressed."

Film
Studios
Setting)
added,
"When
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
heard
about
the
unfortunate
incident
on
the
set
of
Padmavati,
he
issued
a
cheque
of
Rs
20,80,000
from
his
production
house
'Bhansali

the
family
of
the
deceased
and
a
cheque
of
Rs
2,20,000

as
wages

So
we
