The advisory comes amid wider concerns about the safety of film personalities following incidents involving Tiger Shroff, Salman Khan and filmmaker Rohit Shetty.

FWICE has reportedly advised producers to avoid hiring individuals whose identities and professional backgrounds have not been properly verified. Production companies have also been urged to maintain accurate records of crew members and introduce stronger safeguards at filming locations.

The recommendations are intended to reduce potential security risks and improve safety for everyone working in the entertainment industry, including actors, directors, technicians and other production staff.

The federation has emphasised the importance of treating personnel verification as a key part of production safety rather than simply an administrative formality. More careful screening of workers and better control over who can enter filming locations could help production teams identify potential risks before they become security concerns.

Film and television sets often bring together large teams of employees, contractors and temporary workers. FWICE’s advisory highlights the need for production houses to establish clear security procedures and ensure that those working on set can be properly identified.

The call for stronger safeguards places renewed attention on workplace security across the film industry, with production companies being urged to make personnel checks and access management an essential part of their operations.
