A
fire
broke
out
on
the
sets
of
Akshay
Kumar's
film
'Kesari' at
a
village
in
Maharashtra's
Satara
district
today,
police
said.
The
fire
was
brought
under
control,
a
Satara
Police
control
room
official
told
PTI.
Nobody
was
hurt,
he
added.
The
shooting
for
the
film
is
taking
place
at
Pimpode
Budruk
village
in
Wai
teshsil,
around
30
km
from
Satara,
he
said.
Asked
how
the
fire
started,
police
said
the
shoot
had
a
scene
depicting
a
bomb
explosion
and
apparently
some
embers
fell
on
set
material
in
the
vicinity.
The
film's
unit
has
been
shooting
there
for
the
climax
and
final
portions
of
the
film
with
Akshay
Kumar,
who
had
left
the
spot
for
the
day
after
completing
the
shoot,
police
said.
The
film
is
being
jointly
produced
by
Dharma
Productions,
Cape
of
Good
Films
and
Azure
Entertainment.
There
has
been
no
word
so
far
from
either
Akshay
Kumar
or
the
film
makers
about
today's
incident.
The
film
is
a
war
drama
inspired
by
the
Battle
of
Saragarhi
of
1897,
where
an
army
of
21
Sikhs
fought
against
10,000
Afghans.
The
film
also
stars
Parineeti
Chopra
and
is
being
directed
by
Anurag
Singh.
Earlier
also,
the
film
was
in
the
limelight
when
it
was
reported
that
Salman
Khan
refused
to
co-produce
the
film
along
with
Karan
Johar.
