Even as various cine bodies — including Film & Television Producers' Guild of India and Federation of Western India Cine Employees — have rushed to the aid of the daily wage workers who are affected by the suspension of shoots, the Movie Stunt Artist Association assures that the stunt artistes of the industry are on safe ground for now.

Talking to mid-day, Aejaz Gulab, general secretary of the association, says, "Stunt artistes fall under the bracket of daily wage workers and get paid Rs 4730 per shift. [But the difference is that] our wages are higher compared to those of lightmen or spot boys. So, we haven't received any complaint from members of the stunt team so far. Our association also has a special fund that has been accumulated through donations [over the years]; it has been developed for such crises."
