Mass Food Poisoning On Sets Of Dhurandhar

No Chaos At The Hospital
A senior doctor from SNM Hospital said that though the situation was tough because of a large number of patients, the hospital managed it efficiently. The police also stepped in to control the crowd in the emergency ward and ensured there was no panic. The conditions of the crew members are now stable, and most of them have already been discharged.
This mass food poisoning incident has raised questions about whether any popular star was affected. However, reports suggest that only the crew members fell sick, and no actor or producer was among those hospitalised. The shooting has been put on hold and will resume only after the situation returns to normal.
Dhurandhar is one of the most-awaited Bollywood movies of recent times, and along with Ranveer Singh, it will also feature Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. The teaser of the movie was already released on Ranveer Singh’s birthday, and the movie will hit theatres on December 5, 2025.
We hope for the speedy recovery of all affected by the mass food poisoning incident.
