Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions godown gutted in fire; precious film valuables burnt to ashes!

A massive fire broke out at Karan Johar’s Dharma Production godown in Goregaon early morning on April 30. The storage unit was a ground plus two-storey block. It was used to keep clothes, outfits, props, books, memorabilia and valuable artifacts of the company. In fact, we hear that valuables from the banner’s movies dating back to the ’80s were also stored in the Cama Industrial Estate unit. All of them were burnt to ashes! It is truly a great loss to the company, however, the good part is that no casualty has been reported.

The godown has been leased by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions from the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) for several years now. While we know that the fire broke out at 2.30 am on April 30, the cause has not been ascertained yet. The entire two stories was gutted and up to 8 fire engines and 6 water tankers were put into operation to douse the crazy inferno. The internal structure fully collapsed and there was dense smoke for hours after the flames were brought under control.

The Hindu also reports that a Fireman of the name Santosh Jadhav was injured during the operation. He was taken to a local hospital and was declared stable. Jyotsna Rasam (Senior Inspector, Vanrai Police Station) revealed to the publication that they are trying to identify the source of the fire! P.S. Rahangdale (Chief Fire Officer) also told the publication that strict action will be taken if any lapse is found. We hear the losses will be massive, however, we are yet to hear from Karan Johar and team Dharma. In the meantime, stay tuned to CineBlitz for more Bollywood news and updates right here.
