Kerala Human Rights Commission Recommends Ban On Film Shoots In Government Hospitals

The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has recommended banning film shoots in government hospitals across the state. The decision follows complaints about the disruption caused during a film shoot at the emergency wing of the Government Taluk Hospital in Angamaly.

On Sunday, commission member V.K. Beena Kumari issued an order suggesting that the state government prohibit shoots in hospitals offering 24-hour services, including emergency care. The recommendation comes after the filming of the Fahad Faasil movie “Painkili” on July 4, which allegedly created inconvenience for patients and hospital staff.

During the shoot, the lights in the emergency department were dimmed, and around 50 people, including actors, were present. It was reported that the crew restricted access to the emergency wing, even preventing a critically ill patient from entering. They also instructed patients and bystanders to remain silent.

The hospital’s superintendent and the District Medical Officer of Ernakulam were asked to explain why permission was granted for the shoot. The commission warned the hospital not to allow such incidents in the future and asked the health department to issue guidelines to all hospital superintendents.

While the hospital denied that emergency services were disrupted, Kerala Health Minister Veena George sought an explanation from the Director of Health Services. The production team also denied the allegations, claiming they followed all necessary rules.
