What Happened After the Shoot Was Over
Early reports say that Banerjee entered the water either right after the shoot ended or very close to the end. This could have been during a break or as part of the scene. Witnesses say that he may not have been ready for sudden, strong waves and unstable tides.
Crew members rushed to save him, and he was taken to a nearby facility, but he could not be brought back to life.
How Dangerous Is the Talsari–Digha Coastline?
The Talsari-Digha belt is known for its changing tides, hidden currents, and waves that come up out of nowhere. Some parts may look calm, but they can become dangerous in a matter of minutes.
Local news reports say that there are a lot of drownings along the Digha coast every year, especially when the tide is high or the weather is bad. This makes people worried about safety during shoots.
When was the shoot planned?
The Bhole Baba Par Karega shoot was part of a planned outdoor schedule that would take place over several days along the coast. Timing, tides, and weather are very important for these kinds of shoots. These things can change quickly and be dangerous if not closely watched.
