“AICWA has called for a criminal FIR to be filed against the producers, the production house, the television channel, as well as the Film City Managing Director and Labour Commissioner. Furthermore, AICWA demands that the investigation must also explore whether the fire was deliberately set by the producers or the channel in order to illegitimately claim insurance — a horrifying possibility that would mean risking lives for financial gain.
It must be thoroughly verified if any worker has lost their life in this tragedy, as AICWA believes such incidents are often intentionally covered up by producers and Film City authorities to avoid public backlash and legal consequences.
Mr. Gupta has also made an urgent appeal to the Chief Minister to conduct a comprehensive fire audit of every film set and studio across Maharashtra. He strongly insists that any producer, production house, or channel found violating fire safety norms should be blacklisted with immediate effect.
The lives of thousands of daily wage workers, technicians, and artists are not expendable. The system must not wait for another disaster to act. AICWA stands firm in its demand for justice, accountability, and safety for every single individual working behind the scenes of India’s entertainment industry. “
