Chandelier falls on stage during shooting of song; AR Rahman's son escapes accident

Music maestro AR Rahman's son AR Ameen escaped a shocking accident while shooting for a song on the sets recently. It was Ameen himself who revealed this through his Instagram page. The accident took place three days ago.

Taking to Instagram, Ameen revealed that during the filming of the song, the set's chandeliers, which were suspended by a crane, crashed to the ground and nearly crushed them. While Ameen didn't sustain any injury, he said he is traumatised. He also shared a few pictures of the damaged stage.

'I am thankful to the Almighty, my parents, family, well-wishers, and my spiritual teacher that I am safe and alive today. Just three nights ago, I was shooting for a song and I trusted the team @myqyuki to have taken care of the engineering and safety, while I was focusing on performing in front of the camera. The whole truss and chandeliers that were suspended from a crane came crashing down while I was right in the middle of the spot. If it were a few inches here and there, a few seconds earlier or later, the whole rig would have fallen on our heads. My team and I are shell-shocked and unable to recover from the trauma,' AR Ameen wrote.
