The sets of Ravi Chopra's film Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai were gutted by fire yesterday morning. The fire, which broke out at 2am in the morning, destroyed the lavish sets completely, including heavy equipment, costumes and even cameras.

The film, Band Yeh Bindaas Hai, stars Govinda, Tabu and Lara Dutta. Apparently, the production unit of the film packed up around 11pm the night before. Ravi Chopra received a call from Filmcity informing him about the fire at around 2pm. The actors were scheduled to begin shooting on Friday but now the entire shoot has been cancelled. Besides the huge loss of property, Chopra has also lost out on 10-12 days of shoot with Lara, Tabu and Govinda. The entire set need to be erected all over again. The costumes too need to be re-designed and the lost equipment has to be replaced. The damage due to the fire is to the tune of Rs 1.5 crore. They are still trying to figure out the exact cause of the fire. But Chopra is thankful that there have been no casualties.
