Veteran actor Rajesh Sharma’s sudden health scare after reportedly suffering an insect bite on the sets of Prabhas’ upcoming film Fauzi has reignited concerns over safety standards on film sets. The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has now demanded a thorough investigation, questioning whether proper medical facilities and emergency protocols were in place.

AICWA demands probe

In a statement issued on Thursday, AICWA expressed deep concern over the actor’s medical emergency and demanded an “immediate, impartial and transparent investigation” into the circumstances surrounding the incident. According to the association, Rajesh Sharma’s health reportedly deteriorated severely during the shooting schedule, following which he travelled to Kolkata and was admitted to a private hospital for treatment.
