A major fire broke out on the sets of TV show "Comedy Nights with Kapil" at Goregaon Film city this morning.
There were no casualties in the fire that broke out at 8.15 AM. Four fire engines, five tankers and an ambulance have been rushed to the spot, fire brigade officials said.
It was brought under control. The officials of Colors channel later said that no shooting was taking place when the incident happened.
The extent of the damage and cause of the fire are yet to be ascertained.
