Actor Kamal Haasan has offered condolences to the families of the three deceased and nine injured in a horrific accident that occurred on the sets of his film 'Indian 2'. The actor wrote that though he has overcome several accidents, this accident was the most horrific he has ever experienced. He added that though he was extremely saddened by the loss of three colleagues, the grief of their family members was far greater than his own.

In another tweet, Kamal wrote that he has spoken with the doctors who were treating the crew members injured in the accident and hoped for their speedy recovery. Producers of the movie, Lyca Productions issued a statement expressing their sorrow.

“No words could ease what we truly feel. We are extremely saddened with the unfortunate accident happened on the sets of Indian 2 yesterday (19th Feb 2020). We have lost 3 of our most hardworking technicians. Krishna (Assistant Director), Chandran (Art Assistant), Madhu (Production Assistant). Our deepest condolences to their family members, may their soul rest in peace,” the production house wrote on Twitter.

Three unit members died when a crane employed to erect the sets fell on them, last week. The accident happened at EVP Film City on the outskirts of Chennai and also injured nine others. Directed by Shankar, 'Indian 2' is the sequel to the 1996 Tamil blockbuster 'Indian', featuring Kamal as a vigilante named Senapathy. The film also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Siddharth and Rakul Preet Singh in key roles.
