Rajesh Sharma’s Hospitalisation

Rajesh Sharma was reportedly shooting for Prabhas-starrer Fauzi in Hyderabad when his health deteriorated. He later travelled to Kolkata for treatment, where he was hospitalised in critical condition. Initial reports suggested that an insect bite during the shoot may have triggered his illness.

However, the film’s producers have denied that any such incident occurred on the set. According to a report by Gulte, Sharma had completed his scheduled portions and returned home more than a week before news of his hospitalisation surfaced.

The makers further stated that there were no reports of an accident, insect bite, or medical emergency involving the actor during the Hyderabad schedule.

The production team also said they attempted to contact Sharma’s family but were unable to establish communication. They reiterated that no such incident took place on the sets of Fauzi.

AICWA Demands High-Level Investigation

The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has called for a high-level investigation into the circumstances surrounding hospitalisation.

“The circumstances that led to such a serious medical emergency remain unclear and demand an immediate, impartial and transparent investigation,” AICWA said in a statement.

The association further added, “The film industry has a legal and moral responsibility to provide a safe, hygienic and medically prepared working environment for every artist, technician and worker. Unfortunately, AICWA has repeatedly raised concerns regarding poor hygiene, inadequate sanitation, unsafe working conditions, and the lack of proper emergency medical facilities at several shooting locations across the country. Thousands of workers spend long hours on film sets every day, and any negligence can have serious consequences.”
