Arjun Kapoor injured as ceiling collapses on Mere Husband Ki Biwi set in Mumbai

Choreographer Vijay Ganguly, who was overseeing the song sequence, recounted the harrowing moment: “We were on the monitor when suddenly the ceiling collapsed.

Luckily, it fell in parts, and we had a trough to protect us. Had the entire ceiling fallen, it could have been disastrous, but many people still got hurt.” The director of photography (DOP) fractured his thumb, a camera attendant suffered a spine injury, and Ganguly himself sustained injuries to his elbow and head. Director Mudassar Aziz was also injured in the accident.

Safety Concerns on Mere Husband Ki Biwi Sets

The incident highlights growing concerns over safety on Bollywood sets, particularly at older shooting locations. Ganguly, as per a report by Mid-Day, remarked, “These old locations are often used for shoots, and as production companies, we are sure that safety measures are checked.

However, many times, the safety of the location isn’t properly verified before it’s offered for shooting.” In response, FWICE has written to Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and the BMC to underscore the importance of stringent safety protocols on film sets, according to a report by ETimes.
