On Sunday night, the sets of Ashram 3 were searched by Bajrang Dal activists, and director and producer Prakash Jha was attacked while ink was thrown at his face. This incident certainly shocked everyone and once again brought insecurity to our artists and crew members.

The Producers Guild of India adopted a statement and called for action against it. The statement was published last night and even Varun Davan shared it on his social media. The statement said: “The Indian Producers Guild strongly condemns the brazen acts of violence, harassment and vandalism faced by the crew involved in the production of the series Ashram in Bhopal. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident, and the Guild notes with concern the frequency with which the manufacturing and exhibition sectors have been seriously and illegally violated with impunity by various elements. ‘

The statement added: “Content production contributes significantly to local economies, generates employment and promotes tourism, which is why the authorities in India and around the world are formulating policies to attract producers to their respective regions. However, even more than incentives and benefits, the very minimum that production units have to expect is for these bodies to provide safety and security guarantees for their units. ”

Hansal Mehta, who raised his voice yesterday and took to social media in support of Prakash Ja, further tweeted to the Indian Producers Guild that some action should be taken and such statements remained meaningless.

In addition to the attack on Prakash Ja and a search of the set, activists even pelted stones and injured two buses that were there for the crew.
