Fire breaks out on Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana set in Mumbai, no injuries reported

Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) President BN Tiwari has confirmed that a fire broke out on the set of actor Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana in Mumbai, though he said the incident was minor and no one was injured. He said the fire started in one of the tents outside the studio and was brought under control before it could spread or pose a threat to the set or those present.

Tiwari said the incident took place despite a recent warning issued to producers after a fire at a nearby location. He said the damage was minor, no one was hurt, and shooting resumed after the initial panic subsided at Prime Focus Studios, where the film and other productions are being shot.

Speaking to India Today,



Tiwari said, "A few days ago, there was a fire incident at a nearby location, following which we reached out to all producers and asked them to ensure that proper safety measures were in place. However, due to carelessness, this fire incident happened on the set. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the damage was also minor. However, this should serve as a warning to them and other film teams to be more careful and take adequate precautions against such accidents."

He said the fire broke out in the tents outside the studio premises. Apart from Ramayana, the television shows Hustle and Pati Patni Aur Panga are also being shot at Prime Focus Studios. According to Tiwari, the fire was contained before it could spread further.
