One person was killed when a massive fire engulfed an open-air film studio set near the Andheri Sports Complex on Friday.

The blaze was noticed around 4.30 pm in the Chitrakoot Studio, spread across over 5,000 square feet where 2 decorative film shooting sets were erected.

Following an alert from the NDRF, the Mumbai Fire Brigade and other rescue agencies rushed to spot with around 10 fire tenders.

The blaze was brought under control after four hours and one body was retrieved from the site.

The fire was completely extinguished by 10.30 pm.

The victim was reportedly a lightman working on the pre-lighting work on the dual sets erected for a Rajshri Productions film and another movie by filmmaker Luv Ranjan.
