Bollywood worker dies in accident on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love and War' set

New Delhi. A terrible accident has occurred on the set of Bollywood director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film 'Love and War'. A 42-year-old worker has died in the incident that took place at Royal Pump Studio in Goregaon, Mumbai.

The accident is said to have occurred on the morning of June 17, 2026, at Royal Pump Studio in Goregaon, Mumbai. The deceased victim was 42-year-old Chandradharsingh Yadav, who was a carpenter by profession. He was a member of the Film Studio Sets & Allied Mazdoor Union (FSSAMU).

While the film's set was being constructed, a short circuit caused Chandradhari to receive a severe electric shock. His body was severely burnt in the process. Doctors declared him dead at the hospital.

Bhansali Productions has announced financial assistance of 40 lakh rupees to the bereaved family. According to an NDTV report, B.N. Tiwari, president of FSSAMU, has demanded that the compensation amount be increased to 50 lakh rupees as the deceased's children are very young.

Besides this, the federation has requested director Sanjay Leela Bhansali to bear the entire educational expenses of Chandradhari's two children and to provide a job in the production house to his wife.

This accident has once again raised serious questions about the safety of workers working on daily wages on film sets. Such incidents are heard from time to time due to unsafe working environments. The federation has now made a strong appeal to all production houses to ensure strict safety arrangements on sets and to regulate working hours.
