Prakashraj suffered electric shock in the shoots
Dec 14, 2006

Recent days have seen a rise in unfortunate incidents – injuries to actors in particular – occurring on the sets of Tamil cinema. Asin hurt her foot on the sets of Pokkiri recently. Yesterday, Prakashraj was saved from electrocution on the sets of Lee.

The shoots of Lee are being carried out in the Seva Sadan School in Tambaram locality. The scenes of Prakashraj being shot by the villain were enacted.

For this purpose – as is utilized all over for these kinds of shots – Prakashraj’s shirt has been equipped with a small size battery and red ink which would be blown off from a distance with the help of remote control when the shoot out scene was performed. Owing to monsoon rains, the ground where the shoots were canned was slushy. When the remote control was switched on, water collected in the ground conducted electricity and passed into Prakashraj’s body.

Director Prabhu Solomon realized that Prakash was in danger when the actor violently jerked and shouted for help. The generator was immediately shut down and Prakashraj was rescued. The actor was in a state of shock for sometime and took rest. If it were not for Prabhu Solomon, Prakash Raj’s life would have been in jeopardy. Would the crew adopt some safety techniques while enacting such scenes to avoid such future incidents?

Lee suffered a setback when Sathyaraj curbed his expenses and showed reluctance to pump in more money for the project. However, the blockades are cleared and shoots are progressing in and around Chennai these days.
