After tragic incident on Love And War set,All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) demands police probe. 42-year-old carpenter Chandradhari Singh Yadav died June 17,2026 during filming at Royal Pump Studio near Film City,Mumbai.
AICWA President Suresh Shyamal Gupta pushed for accountability. He said filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his production company should face charges. “A worker died,so an FIR should be registered against them," Gupta declared.
