Massive fire breaks out on sets of Rupali Ganguly's Anupama in Mumbai; no casualties

New Delhi: In an unfortunate incident, a fire broke out on the sets of the popular television show, Anupama, in Goregaon Film City on Monday (June 23). Fortunately, there were no casualties, as the fire broke out at 5 am, and the call time of the actors was 7 am. Ashok Dubey of FWICE said, “There was a fire on the Anupama set at 5 am. Luckily, there was no shooting at that time.”

Anupama is a popular hit show starring Rupali Ganguly. The show premiered in 2020 and has been reigning at the top of the charts ever since its inception.

The blaze was reported in the early hours of Monday (June 23), prompting an immediate response from the Mumbai Fire Brigade. Five fire brigade vehicles were rushed to the spot to get the situation under control. The massive fire created panic among crew members present on the set, but they were evacuated safely.

Ashok Dubey added, “We met the cultural minister, Ashish Shelar, and have insisted on regular fire audits of sets in Film City and other studios. As for the Anupama set, it has been there for over five years, and there was no shooting for the last three days and was to resume today.

Additionally, Rajan Shahi, the producer of the show, had informed us that a fire audit of the set is conducted regularly. He said, “Ashish Shelar has also requested the Film City studio MD, Swati Patil, and FWICE to have a joint meeting to resolve all issues, which will soon be held.”

All Indian Cine Workers Association took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that the “incident is yet another tragic reminder of the recurring fire outbreaks in Mumbai and its surrounding film studios”. It added, “While the Anupamaa set was destroyed, it is alarming that several adjoining sets narrowly escaped the flames. This could have led to an even greater disaster.”
