NEW DELHI: Shravan Vishwakarma, the make-up artist for Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s upcoming movie ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, was not too long ago attacked by a leopard, as per a report. The 27-year-old was reportedly attacked by the leopard at Dadasaheb Phalke Chitra Nagari. As per Times Now, the MUA had gone to drop off his pal after the shoot when his bike collided with a leopard on his approach again. He was taken to a hospital for therapy and is being taken care of by the manufacturing home.
Talking in regards to the incident, the make-up artist instructed 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 of getting out of there quickly. As soon as I increased the speed of the bike, I saw that a leopard was running after the pig. My bike collided with the leopard. After that, all I remember is that I fell from the bike and the leopard was roaming around me, then I don’t remember anything. I had been unconscious. Later people probably came and took me to the doctor.”
Following the incident, Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, President of All India Cine Workers (AICWA) urged authorities to take critical measures on this regard. He instructed Aaj Tak, “Realising the seriousness of the matter, I have also tagged the Chief Minister and told them that such an incident has happened many times. As the President of All India Cine Workers, I demand to know who will guarantee the safety from the leopard that comes again and again in Film City, where thousands of shoots take place. I want the government to pay attention to this matter. Filmcity has been built on three hundred acres. If you visit here at night, there is no facility of even street lights. There is a lack of lights and because of which accidents are happening continuously. The matter is near the helipad area, where the shooting of Akshay’s film was going on.”
Speaking of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, the movie stars Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff and Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran in outstanding roles. Janhvi Kapoor is reportedly part of the movie, which is at the moment being shot. It is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.Â
