John Abraham Talks About Kannada Actors' Tragic Death!
John Abraham talks about the tragic death of two Kannada actors Raghava Uday & Anil. The two drowned while performing a stunt by jumping into a lake from a helicopter without any safety measures.
Two
actors,
Raghava
Uday
and
Anil
drowned
while
shooting
for
a
dare-devil
action
scene
which
required
them
to
jump
into
a
lake
from
a
helicopter
for
a
Kannada
film
named
Masthi
Gudi
and
this
has
left
actor
John
Abraham
extremely
disturbed
and
he
said
that
the
producers
should
be
held
culpable.
The
two
actors
were
not
even
provided
with
life
jackets
during
the
stunt!
"I
believe
one
of
those
boys
who
drowned
clearly
told
the
producers
he
couldn't
swim
properly.
There
was
no
proper
permission
for
them
to
jump
in
the
lake,
no
safety
measures.
I
think
the
producers
should
be
held
culpable.
This
is
human
lives
we
are
talking
about.How
can
someone's
life
be
taken
so
lightly?"
He
further
commented,
"I
take
this
pointless
death
of
the
two
actors
very
personally.
This
accident
is
horrific,
shameful
and
avoidable.
I
belong
to
the
same
space
where
action
scenes
have
often
put
me
in
very
dangerous
places."
John
Abraham
said
that
action
heroes
and
stuntmen
have
a
lot
to
be
scared
about,
"It's
okay
when
safety
measures
are
taken.
In
my
case
when
I
perform
dangerous
stunts
I
make
sure
the
optimum
safety
is
ensured.I
not
only
ensure
my
own
safety
during
stunts
I
also
make
sure
the
others
doing
stunts
with
me
are
safe.
When
I
was
shooting
stunts
with
Varun
(Dhawan)
in
Dhishoom,
I'd
check
my
harness
as
well
as
Varun's.
I
am
also
insured
against
injury
and
I
recommend
all
actors
should
do
the
same."
