Balaji sets ablaze! | |||
| | This is the second time this year that Balaji Telefilms' has suffered major setbacks!A fire destroyed two sets belonging to Balaji Telefilms. The sets were located at Chitrarth, Powai. There were no casualties.
First, Sankraman studios suffered major losses during the 26 July floods and now a raging fire has engulfed the Balaji sets in Powai, last night. Zee's Kasmh Se and Hum Paanch are being shot in the sets there. "Last night a probable short circuit resulted in a fire in the Powai sets, but fortunately, no one was hurt!" exclaims Shoma Anand, who plays Mrs Mathur in Hum Paanch. As reported earlier by Tellychakkar.com, the Hum Paanch set is a lavish one as the characters have been shown to be NRI's. Although, we don't have an exact estimate, it seems that this fire must have cost Balaji a hefty sum!
The cast of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii had lost Rs 3 million worth of clothing due to the rains in July and the Sankraman studios had been totally ravaged by the floods. The cast and crew of Kasmh Se are currently shooting in Panchgani. Production has not been affected as all the shows that were being filmed on the affected sets have moved to alternative locations. The exact cause of the fire is not known and concerned authorities are investigating the matter. |
