CHENNAI: Three persons were killed and nine others suffered serious injuries after a crane allegedly fell on them in a shooting spot at EVP film city on Wednesday night.
According to police, the men were preparing to set up the place for shooting of director Shankar's 'Indian 2'.
The police confirmed that three persons died on the spot and nine others sustained serious injuries while actor Kamal Haasan escaped unhurt.
Haasan tweeted his condolences: "Today's accident is the most horrific I have seen in my film career. I have lost three colleagues but my pain pales in comparison to the grief of those who have lost their loved ones. My deepest sympathies to them."

மருத்துவமனையில் விபத்தில் சிக்கியவர்களை பார்த்து மருத்துவர்களிடம் பேசியுள்ளேன்.
முதலுதவி வழங்கப்பட்டு உரிய சிகிச்சைக்கான வேலைகள் நடக்கிறது.
இவர்கள் விரைவாக உடல் நலம் பெற்றிடுவார்கள் என்ற நம்பிக்கையுடனே இந்த இரவு விடியட்டும்.
Many on social media claimed that director Shankar was injured, however, our sources confirmed that he was not injured.
The deceased have been identified as Madhu (29) food provider, Chandran (60) food provider, and Krishna (34), assistant director.
The injured have been identified as Manchang (37), Vasu (35), Ramzan (43), Arunprasath (24), Kumar (52), Kalaichithra, Gunabalan, Thirunavukkarasu (45) and Murugadoss (40).
The injured have been rushed to the hospital for treatment and firefighters were deployed to clear the debris.
Senior police officers rushed to the spot and an inquiry is underway. A case has been registered and investigations are on.
The much-hyped sequel of Shankar's 1996 hit film was officially launched a year ago but the shooting wasn't taking place in a brisk manner. After much delay, the crew started work on the project this month.
