Ashok Dubey from the Federation of Western India Cine Employees revealed that the collapse was caused by vibrations from the sound system. He explained, “The song was being shot at Imperial Palace in Royal Palms, when the ceiling of the location collapsed, injuring Arjun Kapoor, Jackky Bhagnani, and Mudassar Aziz. Since the location has been there for a long time, the vibrations from the sound caused the set to tremble, leading the further portions to tremble off.”

Dubey further mentioned that the team has raised the issue with the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister, and the BMC to address safety concerns at such locations.

Choreographer Vijay Ganguly shared additional details, stating, “We were shooting a song, and the first day went well. On the second day, everything was going fine until around 6 PM when we were taking a shot. We were on the monitor when suddenly the ceiling collapsed. Luckily, it fell in parts and we had a trough to protect us. Had the entire ceiling fallen on us, it could have been disastrous, but many people still got hurt."

He further added, "These old locations are often used for shoots, and as production companies, we are sure that the safety measures are checked. However, many a times the safety of the location isn't properly verified before it is offered for shooting.”

Additional Details

The song sequence was being filmed in the presence of Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar.

Arjun and Bhumi were previously seen together in Ajay Bahl's romantic thriller The Lady Killer. Despite facing challenges with production house T-Series, the film had a limited theatrical release.
