A fire broke out on Saturday on the sets of dance reality show Super Dancer at the RK Studios, founded by Raj Kapoor in suburban Chembur, officials said.

No casualty was reported.

Actor Rishi Kapoor, son of Raj Kapoor, tweeted: "Sad a major fire broke out at RK Studios. We have lost the iconic Stage 1. Thankfully no casualties nor injuries. All your concerns appreciated."

In another tweet, he said: "A Studio can be built again but the loss of the irreplaceable memorabilia and costumes of all RK Films, is tragic for all. Fire took it away."

The iconic studio was founded in 1948. The films made under the RK banner include Aag, Barsaat, Awaara, Shri 420, Mera Naam Joker and Bobby. The last film made under the banner was Aa Ab Laut Chalen.

Six fire tenders and five water tankers were rushed to the site to contain the blaze which was reported around 2.20pm, a senior fire brigade official said.

Though some episodes of the reality show were shot at the studio, there was no shoot planned for Saturday, sources said. "The next shoot is planned for the first week of October. We are hopeful that we will be able to make amends by that time and get the set ready. The show to be aired on Sony Entertainment Television will go on the floor by September 30," sources from the channel said.
