Three years ago, RK Studios in Chembur was advised to put in place basic fire safety equipment, but this counsel went unheeded. The studio is now paying the price after a massive fire struck the sets on September 16. The Mumbai Fire Brigade has since issued a prosecution notice to the studio management for non-compliance of fire safety norms, while cancelling a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) it had issued to the studio earlier.

A report in this paper stated that department officials said in 2014, after the studio was upgraded, that the management had approached the Mumbai Fire Brigade for an NOC.
