Akshay Kumar and the cast and crew of his home production ‘OMG Oh My God’ were saved from a major disaster when a near-fire was averted. Informs a unit member, “There was a fire during the shoot yesterday when sparks fell from a construction welding work from the next building onto the shooting set below. What compounded matters was that the catering area of the unit was just next to where the sparks fell and almost caught fire too. It was got under control at the last minute. There was a gas cylinder around, that could have blown up had sparks fallen there but luckily, the cast and crew were safe. After things settled, the unit praised Akshay and even commended his presence (as he plays Lord Krishna in the film). It was also Akshay’s first day at the shoot.”
