PostHeaderIcon Uh oh. Fire at Annapurna Studio

No one was killed in the devastating fire that destroyed half the studio in Hyderabad last week but the substandard electrical practices that led to it will almost certainly ensure more such fires occur in the future.

In less than an hour the sound stage and sets at Annapurna Studios were reduced to a pile of ashes, and for the film school that shares this space the lesson couldn’t be clearer: Better adopt some basic electrical safety standards and adopt them fast.  The studio management to its credit had recently tried to impose a safety code but the veteran “electricians” who caused this fire appear to have little interest in updating their skills or lack thereof.
