Anil Kapoor's local train 'stunt' invites Railway's notice

July 16, 2016 01:53

A day after Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor was seen leaning out of a running local train during a promotional event, the Western Railway on Friday slapped a notice on the production house seeking an explanation for his "stunt" and flouting safety norms.

The Railway officials, however, said that they now plan to rope in the "Slumdog Millionaire" star in their campaign against train stunts, which they said, have claimed several lives and continue to be a problem.

Kapoor had boarded a local train on the Western line on Thursday for the promotion of his TV series. A local newspaper had published a photograph of the actor leaning from the foot-board of the running train and waving his hand.

An official of the Public Relations department of WR said they have sent a notice to the production house and has sought an explanation as to why the actor went against safety and security rules.

"In spite of the terms and conditions to adhere strictly to safety and security during shoot, Anil Kapoor seems to be leaning from the foot-board of a local train during a promo shoot on July 14," a senior official of the WR said.

"As observed from videos through social media, an explanation has been sought from production co M/s Market Men Consumer & Events Pvt Ltd in this regard," said the official.
