On Tuesday morning, Prabhas shared an Instagram post that read ‘Aarambh’ as his magnum opus, Adipurush, went on floors. However, the first day of the shoot was marred by a massive fire that broke out on the Bangur Nagar set in Goregaon around 4.30 pm. Neither the leading man nor Saif Ali Khan, who plays the antagonist in the Om Raut-directed venture, was in the premises at the time of the incident.

"Some VFX scenes were being shot against a chroma screen when a short circuit led to the blaze. Thankfully, nobody was injured," reveals a source. It is heard that eight fire engines and five tankers of the Mumbai Fire Brigade rushed to the scene to contain the blaze.
