Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan starrer Adipurush set in Mumbai catches fire, no injuries

As per reports in Pinkvilla, the team of Adipurush has been shooting against massive chroma and green screen set up as the film is said to be exploring a new motion capture technology. However, post-lunch today, a bystander saw some fire flakes outside the studio and alerted everyone around that a massive fire broke out on the sets of Adipurush.

Cause of fire

The report in Pinvilla further states that the fire broke out due to short circuit and the full chroma set up went into ashes. However, it eventually came under control, and no casualties have been reported. Om Raut and his entire team are safe.

Prabhas and Saif were not a part of this shoot

Reportedly, the situation is under control now. Thankfully, all fire safety measures were in place on the set. A fire brigade was spotted on the sets within minutes of the fire and took the situation under their control. By god's grace, no causalities have been reported till now.

As far as the cast and crew are concerned, no one has come under any physical harm. But the damage to the film set is an issue of concern for the producer's Prasad Sutar and T-Series' Bhushan Kumar.
