Karnataka govt to issue orders on norms to be followed while shooting stunt scenes
Bengaluru: With Kannada film industry's adherence to safety regulations coming under scanner following the death of a stunt master, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday said the government will issue certain orders in a couple of days regarding the norms to be followed and obtaining of necessary permissions.
"Such incidents are coming to light, there are norms regarding it, but few are not following. We will come out with more clarity on the norms so that it is helpful in taking necessary permissions, and ensure that no one indulges in such activities without permissions," Bommai said in response to a query on the incident and necessary permissions not being taken.
Speaking to reporters here, he said keeping all things in mind we will issue certain orders either by tomorrow or day after.
A 35-year-old fight master had died of electrocution on the sets of the upcoming film 'Love you Rachu' in Jogenahalli near Bidadi on Monday, as he came in contact with the high tension wire, while performing the stunt.
It can be recalled that in 2016, two stuntmen had drowned while performing an action scene for the film 'Maasthi Gudi' at the Thippagondanahalli Reservoir.

Maharashtra: All files to be vetted by Shinde before being sent to CM Fadnavis
Mumbai (PTI): The Maharashtra government has ordered that all files will now go through Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde before being presented to CM Devendra Fadnavis for approval.
The moves seeks to revive an arrangement which existed in 2023 of files being vetted by the then two deputy CMs --Ajit Pawar and Fadnavis -- before being forwarded to then CM Shinde.
State Chief Secretary Sujata Saunik issued an order to this effect on March 18. "Since July 26, 2023, files were moved from Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who holds the finance department, to (then) Deputy CM Fadnavis, who held the home, law and judiciary departments before being sent to (then) CM Shinde for approval," as per the order.
This arrangement was made after Pawar, who was then leader of opposition in the state assembly, joined the Shinde-led government along with a several NCP MLAs on July 2, 2023.
Now, with Fadnavis taking charge as chief minister, following the victory of the Mahayuti (comprising BJP, Shinde's Shiv Sena and Pawar-led NCP) in the state polls last year, the arrangement has been changed.
All files will be routed from Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, who continues to hold the finance department, to Eknath Shinde, who is also the deputy CM and holds housing and urban development portfolios.
The files will be sent to Fadnavis after Shinde's approval, as per the latest order.
Since the Mahayuti 2.0 took over, there has been speculation of a "cold war" between Shinde and Fadnavis. Both the leaders have strongly denied the speculation.
There have been disagreements over the guardian minister posts of some districts. Fadnavis had to revoke his decision on the appointment of guardian ministers of Nashik and Raigad districts after objections from Shinde.
