Film body calls for strict set security after Tiger Shroff firing incident

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has urged producers and production houses to strengthen security on film sets and conduct thorough background checks on crew members following the recent firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai. The federation has issued an advisory calling for stricter access control, verification of personnel and adequate security arrangements at studios and shooting locations.

In its advisory, FWICE cautioned producers and filmmakers against engaging unidentified or unverified individuals without checking their identities, backgrounds and professional credentials. It also stressed the need to



maintain proper crew records and implement precautionary measures to prevent untoward incidents at shooting locations.

The advisory comes amid renewed concerns over the safety of the film fraternity following a series of attacks and threats involving prominent film personalities, including Tiger Shroff, Salman Khan and filmmaker Rohit Shetty.

Tiger was the target of a firing incident outside a football ground in Mumbai’s Juhu on October 18. The actor was at the venue for a football session when gunshots were fired. The incident prompted a police investigation, with investigators examining suspected links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
