Overview

  • A massive fire broke out at 5:00 AM on June 23 at Film City in Mumbai, razing the Anupamaa set just two hours before scheduled shooting and causing extensive property damage.
  • No casualties were reported, and authorities have contained the blaze as they investigate its origins amid questions over why main power lights were off.
  • AICWA has formally written to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis demanding a high-level judicial inquiry and a criminal FIR against Anupamaa’s producers and broadcasters.
  • The association has also called for the immediate suspension of the Film City managing director and the Mumbai labour commissioner for failing to enforce mandatory fire safety measures.
  • The workers’ body urged investigators to examine whether the fire was deliberately set for an insurance claim and pressed for a statewide audit of all studios and film sets in Maharashtra.
