Fire breaks out on sets of Pawan Kalyan-starrer 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' in Hyderabad, no injuries reported

South star Pawan Kalyan's upcoming movie 'Hari Hara Veera Mall' has hit an unexpected snag.

According to several media reports, the elaborate set in Telangana, Hyderabad, of the period drama caught fire on Sunday midnight. Since the incident took place post-midnight, no one was said to be present on the sets.

Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the pan-Indian action film was said to be in the last leg of shooting. It was reported that the incident took place just as the final schedule of filming was about to conclude.



It is believed that the makers invested a lot of money to build a larger-than-life set for the highly-anticipated movie in Bowrampet, Dundigul. The set underwent a series of repairs after the unprecedented rains caused significant damage to the sets.

News outlets reported that the Dundigul police have filed a case and the matter is being investigated.

Swiftly responding to the call, the firefighters managed to salvage the intensity of the fire and extinguished the flames. Videos of the remains of the set from the venue have been doing the rounds on social media.

The sudden fire, which left the set charred and irretrievably damaged, caused a state of alarm among the cast and crew. The fire on the sets of the film seems to have delayed the already-delayed project.

The big-budget 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', is said to be one of Pawan Kalyan's highly-anticipated projects.

While it features actress Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead, Bollywood actor Bobby Deol is said to play an important role in the film. Other details of the movie have been kept under wraps.

The release date of the movie is awaited.
