On Wednesday night, the roof of a film set in Mumbai's Goregaon area collapsed, possibly due to vibrations caused by the sound of a song being filmed at that moment. The incident occurred during the shooting of a song for the movie Mere Husband Ki Biwi, starring Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar, and directed by Mudassar Aziz.
Ashok Dubey, a representative from the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), shared this information.
"The roof of the set at Imperial Palace in Royal Palms collapsed when Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Jackie Bhagnani and director Aziz were present. No one suffered any major injury. Kapoor, Bhagnani and Aziz sustained minor bruises," he said. "The roof may have collapsed due to the loud sound from the song shoot," Dubey added.
Set for release on February 21, the cast and crew were shooting a song at the Imperial Palace, Royal Palms in Mumbai when the roof of the set collapsed. Further, Choreographer Vijay Ganguly, who worked on the song, stated that the first day of shooting went well; however, things took a drastic turn on the second day.
