A Brief Scare For The Production
A minor fire broke out near a major Mumbai filming location on Monday. The blaze occurred near the set of the highly anticipated film ‘Ramayana’. This incident briefly raised serious concerns around the massive Bollywood production. The fire started inside a temporary tent outside Prime Focus Studios. The studio is located within Mumbai’s sprawling and busy Film City complex. BN Tiwari serves as president of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees. He confirmed emergency crews brought the blaze under control quickly. The fire did not spread to the main sets, and nobody suffered injuries.
Calling For Greater Safety Measures
Thick black smoke was seen rising rapidly from the surrounding studio area. Videos of the dramatic incident circulated quickly across various social media platforms. Despite the sudden scare, filming resumed normally after the situation was resolved. Tiwari stated this incident should serve as a stark warning to all productions. He urged studios to strengthen their safety measures and fire protocols immediately. He noted another fire had reportedly occurred at a nearby location days earlier. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, ‘Ramayana’ is planned as a two-part cinematic adaptation. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi stars as Sita.
