Indian 2 crane mishap: Shankar appears before CCB

In an official statement issued on Thursday, Lyca Productions stated that Kamal Haasan should accept responsibility for the mishap as well.

Director of Lyca Productions, Neelkant Narayanpur, said in the statement, “As you are surely aware, incidents of this nature need to be dealt with in the spirit of collective responsibility and rectification.

Given the involvement of an eminent artiste and technician of your calibre and experience, and a veteran director of Mr Shankar’s stature being the captain of the ship, we were doubly confident that our own safety measures would have been amplified by your on-thespot judgment. It hardly needs reminding that the entire shoot was also under the control and supervision of yourself and the director.” Soon after the incident, Kamal had questioned Lyca Productions on the steps taken to ensure the safety of the cast and crew members and had also asked whether insurance was taken. When asked to comment on Lyca’s statement, sources close to the actor clarified that the actor had already reacted to the accident and that there was nothing more to add to it at the moment.
