One person died after a major fire broke out on two adjacent film sets at Chitrakoot Grounds in suburban Andheri West on Friday afternoon. The fire started at 4.30 pm and took five hours to douse. Eight fire engines and five jumbo tankers were pressed into action. The fire was confined to a 5,000-square feet area, which according to sources was the film set of director Luv Ranjan’s next movie starring Ranbir Kapoor.

The fire turned into a major fire when it spread to a decorative wooden pandal. “The fire started in a temporary pandal where some wooden items were stored, but the cause of the fire isn’t clear yet,” said a fire brigade official. Manish Devashi, 32, who was injured in the fire, was declared brought dead at civic-run Cooper Hospital. Three others were reportedly injured in the incident.
