The incident occurred at Imperial Palace, Royal Palms, where Kapoor was filming a song alongside Bhumi Pednekar, Jackky Bhagnani, and director Mudassar Aziz.

However, many times, the safety of the location isn’t properly verified before it’s offered for shooting.” In response, FWICE has written to Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and the BMC to underscore the importance of stringent safety protocols on film sets, according to a report by ETimes.
