Fire breaks out near Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana set in Mumbai, no injuries reported as safety concerns arise

A minor fire broke out near the set of Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming mythological film Ramayana in Mumbai, prompting safety concerns. However, no injuries were reported as the blaze was swiftly contained before it could spread. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) president BN Tiwari confirmed the incident, stating that it started in a tent outside the studio and not on the main set.

Tiwari revealed that a recent fire at a nearby location had prompted FWICE to urge producers to strengthen safety measures on film sets. The Prime Focus Studios, where Ramayana is being filmed, is also used for television shows like Hustle and Pati Patni Panga. Despite the incident, filming resumed after the situation was under control. The two-part epic, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, is set for release on November 6, 2026.
