Talking about the freak accident, Rahman's son Ameen took to Instagram to inform his fans and wellwishers about his narrow escape. In a lengthy Instagram post, which he shared on Sunday, he thanked the Almighty, his parents, family, well-wishers, and his spiritual teacher that he is safe and alive.
He further wrote that while shooting, the whole truss and chandeliers that were suspended from a crane came crashing down, while he and his team were in the middle of the stage.
