Anupamaa set fire: The fire broke out at 5 am on Anupamaa sets, just two hours before the shoot was scheduled to begin. As per AICWA President, fire safety measures on the set have been compromised for a long time.
A massive fire broke out on the sets of Rupali Ganguly‘s show Anupamaa at 5 am this morning. While the shooting was scheduled to begin at 7 am, preparations for the same were underway. However, the fire engulfed the entire set a couple of hours before the cameras could roll. Luckily, no casualties were reported, but a few workers and crew members were on the set when the incident occurred. The All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) confirmed the news on social media. AICWA’s president, Suresh Gupta, also spoke to SCREEN, claiming negligence on the part of producer Rajan Shahi.
Gupta said, “A massive fire did break out on the Anupamaa set in Filmcity this morning. The fire brigade reached the scene an hour after the fire erupted. The entire set was made of wood and was surrounded by other sets, which were also made of wood. The reason why the set caught fire is that the producer and production house weren’t complying with fire safety norms just to save a little money.”
