Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has made a significant move to enhance safety for action practitioners in India’s entertainment industry. The actor has procured insurance cover for about 650 stuntmen and stuntwomen across the nation. The move follows the recent demise of stuntman SM Raju, who died while working on the Tamil film Vettuvam, produced by Pa Ranjith and featuring actor Arya.
The move addresses long-standing concerns about the welfare of action performers, who often work in dangerous conditions without adequate protection. By ensuring coverage for hundreds of stunt professionals, Kumar has attempted to bridge a major gap in the industry.
