Kamal
Haasan
starrer
Indian
2
has
been
in
the
news
since
morning
because
of
the
tragic
incident
that
took
place
on
the
sets
of
the
film
last
night.
A
crane
that
was
being
used
for
shooting
suddenly
crashed
on
the
sets
at
the
EVP
studios
in
Chennai,
leaving
three
crew
members
dead
and
10
severely
injured.
As
soon
as
the
news
broke,
condolence
messages
started
pouring
in
on
social
media
from
all
quarters.
Haasan,
who
plays
the
lead
in
the
film,
took
to
Twitter
and
expressed
his
grief
over
the
unfortunate
incident.
As
per
a
report
in
India
Today,
the
megastar
visited
Kilpauk
hospital
earlier
in
the
day
and
paid
homage
to
the
three
technicians
who
lost
their
lives
in
the
accident
-
production
assistant
Madhu,
assistant
director
Shri
Krishna,
and
art
assistant
Chandran.
Later,
Kamal
Haasan
interacted
with
the
media
and
announced
that
he
will
be
offering
Rs
1
crore
each
to
the
families
of
the
deceased.
He
said,
"On
my
behalf,
I
am
donating
Rs
1
crore
to
the
family
of
the
deceased
and
this
is
what
I
can
do
now.
This
is
not
the
compensation
for
what
we
have
lost.
Some
of
them
are
very
poor
people.
Three
years
back,
I
was
in
an
accident.
I
know
how
difficult
it
is
to
recover
from
an
accident
like
this.
Of
the
three,
only
one
could
probably
afford."
Addressing
the
issue
of
safety
on
the
sets,
the
actor-turned-politician
said,
"This
incident
indicates
that
the
safety
of
the
people
in
cine
industry
is
still
questionable.
I
was
talking
to
my
friends
today
morning
and
as
an
industry,
we
need
to
take
measures
to
make
sure
that
such
incidents
do
not
happen
in
the
future.
We
take
pride
in
saying
that
a
movie
is
made
on
so-and-so
crore
budget
and
I
personally
feel
ashamed
to
say
that
we
couldn't
provide
safety
to
the
people
who
work
for
the
film."
Shri
Krishna,
who
got
killed
in
the
accident,
had
joined
the
film's
crew
just
two
days
back.
He
is
the
son-in-law
of
popular
cartoonist
Madhan
and
used
to
work
as
an
assistant
with
Kamal
Haasan.
Director
Shankar
also
visited
the
hospital
and
paid
his
respects.
Produced
by
Lyca
Productions,
Indian
2
also
stars
Kajal
Aggarwal,
Rakul
Preet
Singh,
and
Priya
Bhavani
Shankar
in
