The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has sought an inquiry to ascertain the reason behind the fire that gutted the sets of filmmaker Luv Ranjan’s next, starring actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, in Mumbai recently. One person lost his life in the mishap that took place at Chitrakoot Ground.

The federation plans to write to Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) seeking the safety of workers and technicians.

“For the past four-five years, we have written letters to the CM and fire authorities that proper investigations should be conducted at such places,” FWICE general secretary Ashok Dubey told an entertainment portal, adding that such accidents are “happening repeatedly”.

“Now, the federation is issuing notices to the producers’ body, production houses and the CM, stating that such unauthorized structures should not be permitted to function without a fire audit and an NOC,” he added, asserting that if the concerns raised aren’t considered, they will put in a request for an inquiry by the BMC and the state government into multiple studios.
