Kantara Chapter 1 boat mishap, The Indian House flooding spark safety concerns on film sets
On Sunday, during the shoot of Kantara Chapter 1, a boat carrying 30 crew members, capsized in the Mani reservoir at the Masti Katte area of Karnataka's Shivamogga district. On June 13, helium balloons caught fire on the sets of Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's upcoming film. A day before that, a water tank burst and flooded the sets of Nikhil Siddhartha starrer The Indian House, produced by Ram Charan's production house. These incidents have raised questions about safety measures on Indian film sets. When we reached out to Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, President, All Indian Cine Workers Association, to speak about the incidents, he highlighted the issues faced by the cast and crew working on sets including the lack of safety measures. He tells us, 'The state of affairs on sets of our films is very poor. A safety officer from BMC or Nagarpalika should be visiting the sets to conduct an inspection but it doesn't happen. Additionally, there's supposed to be at least 20 fire extinguishers on sets but if you go and see there are only 5 or six for the heck of it. There should be two exits on every film set in case of an emergency but right now sets have only one way to enter and exit.' Also Read | Water tank bursts on set of Ram Charan's The India House causing major flooding, crew members injured Suresh further reveals that since 2021, 'producers, production houses, and channels have stopped union members from coming to film sets' allegedly to prevent them from raising these safety concerns. 'There are wires all over the sets. Anything can happen on sets with so many open wires but there is no precaution taken. Are they waiting for accidents to happen?' he says, emphasising, 'Every artist deserves safety.' Jai Shankar Singh, a camera attendant, further sheds light on the challenges faced during film productions, ranging from poor food quality to neglected electrical equipment. He also points out the severe health issues crew members endure due to unhygienic conditions and stressful working conditions. Jai explains, 'Big production houses often don't hire action directors for big scenes being shot because it means paying more per day. Heavy equipment isn't properly maintained, cables aren't serviced. There is no time to eat food or take breaks and it affects our health. We often have to shoot for 16-18 hours straight. There are no provisions for rain, like umbrellas or raincoats. The food quality is poor, and people fall ill all the time. No one conducts inspections on film sets; everything is ram bharose. We get only 2-3 hours of sleep, and as a result, many of us are facing serious health issues.' However, filmmakers and producers claim they do their best to avoid any mishap on the sets. Abhishek Agarwal, co-producer of The Indian House, says, 'We always ensure the safety of people on sets. Even in this case, we had made preparations of this is scene and installed water tank days before the shoot. Sometimes there are few things which are not in our hands but we ensure that we always have an ambulance, a doctor on call ready.'

Virat Kohli Or Sachin Tendulkar? Anderson Names The Easier Wicket
In a revelation that has sparked fresh debates among cricket fans, England's all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson weighed in on one of the most intriguing comparisons in modern cricket — Virat Kohli vs Sachin Tendulkar. In a recent episode of the TalkSport Podcast, Anderson opened up about his experiences bowling to both Indian batting icons and offered a detailed analysis of what made each of them special — and in Kohli's case, increasingly difficult to dismiss. Between 2006 and 2012, James Anderson faced off against Sachin Tendulkar in 14 Test matches and dismissed him nine times — more than any other bowler in Test history. However, Anderson was quick to admit that the aura surrounding Tendulkar made the experience feel vastly different. 'Sachin had this God-like presence on the field. Calm, composed, technically solid — there was very little to exploit,' Anderson said. 'I tried not to engage in too many verbal battles with him. He was already a legend when I came into the picture.' Unlike his contests with Kohli, the duels with Tendulkar rarely escalated emotionally. Anderson pointed out that Tendulkar's maturity and composed demeanor at the crease made the encounters respectful but less fiery. Virat Kohli: The Evolving Nemesis If Tendulkar was serene, Kohli was a storm. Anderson's battles with Virat Kohli spanned 25 Test matches between 2012 and 2022, and while he dismissed the Indian star seven times, four of those came during Kohli's forgettable 2014 England tour — a series that exposed Kohli's vulnerability outside off-stump. 'In 2014, I had some real success against him. He kept nicking off outside the off-stump. But in 2018, he was a completely different beast,' Anderson reflected. Indeed, Kohli's transformation from 134 runs in five Tests in 2014 to a staggering 593 runs in 2018 left Anderson and his peers searching for answers. What made Kohli particularly tough, according to Anderson, was his steely mindset and competitive fire. Unlike Tendulkar, Kohli wore his emotions on his sleeve and brought an unmatched intensity to the crease. More Than Just Stats: The Mental Game While statistics tell one part of the story — Tendulkar dismissed 9 times in 14 Tests, Kohli 7 times in 25 — Anderson emphasized the psychological and tactical evolution Kohli underwent. 'There was a noticeable shift in dominance with Kohli. After 2014, I barely got him out. He forced you to rethink your approach every time. He didn't just fix a technical flaw — he transformed into a mentally indomitable player,' Anderson said. The pacer also noted that the rivalry with Kohli was more personal, intense, and at times, verbal. Who could forget the heated exchanges during the 2021 Lord's Test, where Kohli lashed out at Anderson for sledging Jasprit Bumrah? 'With Kohli, it often went beyond just cricket. He thrived on aggression, on that contest within the contest. That made it even more difficult to bowl to him,' said Anderson. Kohli vs Tendulkar: A Battle of Eras While Anderson stopped short of declaring one as the better batter, he did acknowledge that Kohli was the more challenging opponent — primarily due to his ability to adapt, his hunger for competition, and his mental edge. 'Against Sachin, there wasn't a dramatic shift in dominance. With Kohli, you could feel the momentum turning, especially after 2014. That made him a nightmare to bowl to,' Anderson concluded. As England and India gear up for a fresh five-match Test series starting June 20 — the first in the post-Anderson, post-Kohli era — Anderson's insights offer a timely reminder of the legends who defined an era of Indo-English Test cricket.
