Director Pa Ranjith Granted Bail in Stuntman Mohanraj’s Death Case
The Tamil film industry has been grappling with the unfortunate death of stuntman Mohanraj on the sets of director Pa Ranjith’s film “Vettuvam”. The incident has sparked a lot of outrage and concern about the safety measures taken on film sets. In a recent development, Pa Ranjith has been granted bail by a court in Chennai after being held responsible for Mohanraj’s death.
As reported by Times Now News, a case was filed against Pa Ranjith, Rajkamal, Vinoth, and Prabhakaran for not taking proper security measures during the shoot. The case against the four accused was filed by the family of Mohanraj, who died on the sets of “Vettuvam” in August 2022.
Earlier, the three accused, Rajkamal, Vinoth, and Prabhakaran, were granted anticipatory bail by a court in Chennai. They obtained a court order, which allowed them to remain free until the trial commences.
However, Pa Ranjith, the director of “Vettuvam”, was not granted anticipatory bail. He was required to appear before the court and face the charges. The court’s decision to grant Pa Ranjith bail comes as a surprise to many, given the seriousness of the charges against him.
Mohanraj’s death was a tragic incident that sent shockwaves through the Tamil film industry. He was a well-known stuntman and had worked on several films before his untimely demise. The incident led to widespread condemnation and calls for better safety measures on film sets.
The incident has also raised questions about the responsibility of film directors and producers towards the safety and well-being of their crew members. Many have questioned why Pa Ranjith and the other accused did not take adequate measures to ensure the safety of Mohanraj and other crew members on set.
The case against Pa Ranjith and the other accused is still ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be. The family of Mohanraj is seeking justice and compensation for the loss of their loved one.
In the meantime, the film industry has been left reeling from the incident. Many have expressed their condolences to Mohanraj’s family and have called for better safety measures to be taken on film sets.
Pa Ranjith’s bail comes as a relief to him and his team, but it is unlikely to ease the pain and suffering of Mohanraj’s family. The incident has had a profound impact on the industry, and it is clear that something needs to be done to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
