A massive fire destroyed the set of actor Dhanush’s upcoming movie “Idly Kadhai” causing significant damage on April 19 in Anuppapatti village. A video of the fire has gone viral, showing the set burning badly. The fire was so intense that most of the set turned into ashes.
Reports suggest that the shooting of the movie was already finished before the fire started. But it is still not clear what caused the fire or if it will delay the film’s release. The set was newly designed to look like a realistic street with shops, homes, and a road. Fortunately no casualties have been reported.
