Akshay Kumar’s make-up artist Shravan’s bike collided with a leopard that had entered Mumbai’s Filmcity, where many films are shot.
Akshay Kumar’s make-up artist was attacked by a leopard on Friday night on the sets of his upcoming film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan opposite Tiger Shroff. MUA Shravan Vishwakarma was going to drop his friend on his bike when his vehicle collided with a leopard passing on the road. He fell off the bike and only then some local people took him for treatment. The 27-year-old said that his treatment is being taken care of by the production house.
Talking about the incident, the make-up artist told Aaj Tak, ‘I had come to drop my friend from the bike. It was a little further from the shoot location and a pig crossed the road. I thought to get out of here quickly. As soon as I increased the speed of the bike, I saw a leopard running after the pig.
He said, “My bike collided with the leopard. After that all I remember is that I fell off the bike and the panther was roaming around me, then I don’t remember anything. I fainted. Later maybe people came and took me to the doctor.
Meanwhile, Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, President of all India Cine workers told a news channel, ‘Understanding the seriousness of the matter, I have also tagged the Chief Minister and told him that such incidents have happened many times. As the President of All India Cine Workers, I demand to know who will guarantee security from the frequent leopards in Film City, where thousands of shoots take place.
He said, “I want the government to pay attention to this matter. Filmcity has been built on three hundred acres. If you go for a walk here at night, there is no facility of street light. There is a lack of lighting and due to which accidents are happening continuously. The matter is near the helipad area, where the shooting of Akshay’s film was going on.
