Kesari Set Fire: Akshay Kumar & Karan Johar's Support Saved Film
21 Mar
Summary
- A major fire erupted on the Kesari film set during the climax shoot.
- Producers Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar ensured production continued smoothly.
- The climax was reshot on a newly constructed set in Film City.
As the patriotic drama Kesari marks its seventh anniversary, director Anurag Singh shared a critical production challenge. The film's climax set unexpectedly caught fire, with filming incomplete and approximately 15 days of work remaining. Fortunately, all personnel were safe, though the incident resulted in financial losses.
Despite this setback, the producers, Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar, provided crucial support. They encouraged the team to move forward and complete the film. A new set was constructed in Film City, where the climax was eventually filmed, rather than the originally planned location in Wai, Maharashtra. This producer confidence was a significant inspiration to the cast and crew.
