Actor Tiger Shroff was reportedly injured when a prop gun discharged on a film set, causing a minor wound during the shooting of an unnamed project. The mishap, which was quickly contained, prompted an immediate halt to filming while medical assistance was provided.
In response, the Film Federation of India issued a statement calling for comprehensive security measures across all production sites. The body urged producers to appoint certified safety officers, enforce strict weapon‑handling protocols, and conduct regular risk‑assessment drills before any shoot involving firearms.
