To make a good film, you need every one's co-operation as each person has his own importance. We are taking all possible efforts to ensure the safety of every worker on the sets. We have not only given a letter to Film City but warn every production house that they should keep ambulance, safety belts, safety caps etc for the sake of the workers on the sets. Every one of us should remember that if any worker dies on the sets in an accident, none of us can ever hope to replace that member in that family".
