Hyderabad: The upcoming film Hari Hara Veera Mallu starring South star Pawan Kalyan has hit an unforeseen hitch. A major fire broke out on the set of Pawan Kalyan's historical drama. The tragedy occurred on Sunday midnight at the gigantic film set established at Beerampet, Dundigul.

Fortunately, no one was present on the sets. According to sources, Dundigul police have filed a case and are conducting an investigation. According to reports, a large chunk of the film set was destroyed by fire, resulting in a substantial loss for AM Ratnam's Mega Surya Production.

Responding quickly, the firefighters were able to reduce the severity of the fire and extinguish the flames. Social internet has been flooded with videos of the venue's set remnants. The team is yet to issue a formal statement about the incident.
