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.
