No casualty reported
There were no reports of anyone getting injured as of now, the official said, thick clouds of black smoke emanating from the studio could be seen from afar.

At least 12 fire engines, seven water jetties, one water tanker, three automatic turn-tables (AWTT), one quick response vehicle and other fire brigade vehicles were at the spot, the official said. The fire brigade pegged the fire as level-3 with level-4 being the most serious.
A unit member told E times, "We were shooting a blast sequence in which the house catches fire and the actors try to barge into the house. However, unfortunately, the fire spread and in no time, our whole set was gutted. All of us evacuated the premise and are standing outside for the fire to be doused. Our belongings are inside the rooms."
