On
Friday
(March
29,
2019),
two
innocent
lives
were
claimed
in
an
unfortunate
cylinder
blast
that
took
place
on
the
sets
of
the
film
Ranam.
Two
bystanders,
a
mother
and
a
5-year-old
daughter
lost
their
lives.
The
lead
actor
of
the
film
Chetan
took
to
his
social
media
to
express
regret
over
the
accident.
He
wrote,
"Devastated
that
two
bystanders
(a
mother
&
5
year-old
daughter)
were
killed
during
a
freak
stunt
accident
that
took
place
while
shooting
our
film
Ranam
on
Friday."
"Since
I
was
not
a
part
of
yesterday's
shoot,
i
was
unaware
of
the
tragedy
&/or
its
cause
when
it
took
place.
As
soon
as
i
received
the
unfortunate
news,
I
went
to
the
shooting
location
in
Bagaloor,
Devanahalli,
and
met
the
aggrieved
family
members
to
stand
with
them
during
this
difficult
time,"
he
further
added.
Taking
about
helping
the
victim's
family,
the
actor
wrote,
"Subsequently,
i
worked
with
Bagaloor
authorities
to
help
provide
justice
to
the
deserved.
We--
#Ranam
film
team
&
members
of
the
Kannada
Film
Industry--
are
truly
saddened
by
Friday's
proceedings
and
hope
such
tragedies
never
reoccur
in
Karnataka
or
anywhere
else."
Talking
about
the
incident,
Additional
Commissioner
of
Poilce,
Seemanth
Kumar
Singh
told
Bangalore
Mirror,
"Case
against
those
responsible
for
the

After
