Aisha being produced by Sonam’s sister Rhea Kapoor is a remake of Jane Austen’s
Emma. The film is under production and during a certain sequence at Filmistan Studios in Goregaon where
Aisha was being shot, a fire broke out. Thankfully the shoot had packed up and , there weren't many people present on the sets. The fire brigade reached bang on and the fire was controlled in a matter of 15 minutes.
A source on the set reports, “The fire broke out due to an electrical problem, two technicians were injured but thankfully not many were hurt. The timely arrival of the fire brigade did help in curbing the fire and it’s good that the shoot had wrapped up earlier. Rhea was on the sets and made sure everyone was doing okay. The reason we were scared is because Filmcity is huge and interconnected, if the fire wouldn’t have been curbed sooner, the whole place could have been in ashes today. Rhea herself confirmed the news saying, ‘Due to an electric fault, there was a small fire on the sets of Aisha which was curbed within 15 minutes. There was no major damage on the sets. We will resume shooting in a couple of days.’
Rhea seems to be facing quite a few setbacks with her ambitious project, the last one being Abhay views on how the script of the film was shaping up. The actor was unhappy with the type of attention being paid to Sonam’s clothes and accessories rather than the storyline or his character. Abhay has been making quite a few childish demands since then on sets and poor Rhea has to bear the brunt of it all.
