He claimed that this is a recurring problem. “Every year, they put the lives of thousands of workers at stake, and the workers risk their lives because they don’t get work every day. Film City’s MD, or no other official, ever bothers to check the fire safety measures on set. As the AICWA President, I demand Maharashtra CM to investigate the matter and also check if no one lost their life, because they always cover up this,” he said.

Suresh also pointed out that the situation could have been catastrophic had there been more members on the set. A source close to the show also confirmed the news about the fire and that no casualties occurred. The source also shared that the incident happened when no one was there on the set. The show’s producer, Mr Rajan Shahi, is yet to issue an official statement on the incident.

Last year, a 32-year-old crew member was electrocuted on the sets of Anupamaa. In a statement, the makers later claimed that he was the camera attendant who mistakenly picked both the light rod and camera together when he was not wearing any footwear. “The DOP present on the set said that it was purely a human error. He was immediately taken to the hospital and given instant medical help but, unfortunately, we lost him. It was deeply saddening. In response, immediate arrangements were made to send flight tickets to the family members of the deceased, who were urgently called from Patna. All necessary legal formalities were also promptly addressed,” the statement read.
