Let us tell you that in its letter, AICWA criticized the producers for risking the lives of workers on the set and criticized them for ignoring fire protocols. AICWA wrote in its letter, "This incident is another horrific reminder of the frequent fire incidents at Film City and other shooting locations in Maharashtra, which are a direct result of the negligence of producers, production houses, and channels, who regularly ignore fire safety protocols. Thousands of technicians, workers, and artists risk their lives daily due to a lack of basic fire safety systems and enforcement."

AICWA demanded strict action

The All India Cine Workers Association further wrote that, "Despite several previous incidents and warnings, no serious or systematic action has been taken by the authorities or the Film City administration. Shockingly, even after the earlier fire incidents were brought to the attention of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly by me as the President of the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA), the government and administration failed to implement strict fire safety guidelines or audits across the industry". The association demanded a high-level inquiry into the incident and sought the suspension of the managing director of Mumbai's Film City. It accused him of "gross negligence and dereliction of duty" and said that an FIR should also be lodged against the producers of the show.

AICWA said this

Along with this, All Indian Cine Workers Association further claimed that, “Therefore, AICWA demands an immediate high-level judicial inquiry into the fire on the sets of Anupama, immediate suspension of the Managing Director of Film City and Labour Commissioner of Mumbai for gross negligence and dereliction of duty, FIR against the producer, production house, television channel as well as officials of Film City for failing to ensure the safety of workers and investigation into possible insurance fraud, including investigation of whether the fire was deliberately set to claim insurance, is a serious and criminal angle”. 

Rajan Shahi's team had issued a statement

The team of 'Anupama' producer Rajan Shahi has released an official note in which he has revealed that there has been no damage due to the fire. He has also asked not to pay attention to the rumors spread due to the fire. The producer says that the real cause of the fire is still being investigated.
