Man Dies Of Electrocution On-The-Sets Of Anushka Sharma's Pari

Sad news for Team Pari, as they have lost a crew member this morning, on-the-sets of their film in Kolkata.

SpotboyE.com has got to know that a lightman  got electrocuted while the shoot was in progress.

A late night schedule was being shot in Kolkata with Anushka Sharma. The production team asked the lightman to shift a few lights from one corner to the other, and that’s when he stepped on a live wire and got electrocuted.

While he was rushed to a nearby hospital immediately, the team lost him on the way. His name and other details are yet to be disclosed by the Kolkata police.

Anushka Sharma is not only starring in the film but is also a co- producer along with Prerna Arora & Arjun N Kapoor's KriArj Entertainment.

Anushka’s brother Karnesh was also on the set when the mishap took place. We contacted Anushka and Karunesh to know more about the matter and this is what Karnesh said, "In a very unfortunate incident while shooting yesterday, we lost one of our unit members, Sh. Shahabe Alam from the Lighting Department. Despite our best efforts and medical assistance, he could not be saved. We are collaborating with the authorities and his family to make all requisite arrangements for his last rites. We share their grief and stand by them in this time of great personal loss." - Karnesh Sharma, co-owner Clean Slate Films.


The shooting has been stalled as of now and Kolkata Police is investigating the matter.

Pari is Anushka’s third film as a producer after NH 10 and Phillauri. While her debut film NH10 was lauded for the strong concept, her recent film Phillauri, starring Diljit Dosanjh, received mixed reviews. But the dip has not affected Anushka’s spirits. With her next, she promises to get back as a promising producer.

Interestingly, Anushka Sharma is playing a ghost for the second time. She essayed the role of a friendly ghost in Phillauri and is now giving some serious haunting vibes in Pari.

She was last in Imtiaz Ali’s Jab Harry Met Sejal along with Shah Rukh Khan.
