Boman was shooting for the promo capsule of the yet-to-be-launched show ‘Bollywood ka Boss Kaun’ (FILMY) at Mukesh Mills in Colaba amidst a lot of fireballs when one of the gas cylinders began leaking and caused a major fire.

According to Ashish Kapoor, creative head, FILMY,  “The sequence involved mini petrol blasts. There were several gas cylinders and canisters that threw flames. One of the cylinders was leaking and some mix-up happened causing a fire.”

The artistes started running helter-skelter till the situation was brought under control. Since it was being shot outdoors, the artistes could save themselves and losses were minimum. However, when the troupe got together to re-shoot the capsule, they seemed to be so perturbed by the blast, that the creative team had a tough time making the artistes get their expressions right.
