He detailed what happened and confirmed that there was no loss of life. He wrote, 'We r all Safe. Sometimes in our Quest to give the Best cinematic Experience we take Risks. Today we survived a Huge mishap thanks to the Alert Crew and Precautions taken. We lost Expensive Equipment but by gods grace there was no human damage. #IndiaHouse.'
Producer Abhishek Agarwal wrote, 'A mishap occurred on the sets of #TheIndiaHouse while shooting today. Everyone on the sets is safe and sound. Thank you for all your concern. #JaiMataDi.' Ram's production house re-tweeted Nikhil and Abhishek's posts.
Clips circulating on the internet show the cast and crew screaming as water floods the movie set. Some can be seen trying to escape the rush of water, while others can be seen trying to save the equipment. The sudden flooding, caused by the bursting of a water tank, injured a few crew members. The video shows massive damage done to the set, and shooting has now been disrupted.
The Ïndia House is directed by Ram Vamsi Krishna and produced by Ram and Abhishek Agarwal. Talking to Hindustan Times in August last year after his film Karthikeya 2 won Best Telugu Film at the National Film Awards, Nikhil spoke about The India House and said, 'Despite what people think, The India House isn't about Veer Savarkar. It's actually about a bunch of Indian students in 1905 India who…I can't reveal more. (laughs) Let's just say this will also be something to watch out for because I want to continue telling great stories.'

Is Director Kussh Sinha Worried About Nikita Roy's Clash With Kajol's Maa?
Kussh Sinha discussed his aspirations and goals as a debutant director, vowing to bring something new and exciting to the table. After years of working behind the scenes as an assistant director, Kussh S Sinha will make his directorial debut with the movie Nikita Roy. Starring his sister Sonakshi Sinha alongside Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal, the film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 27, clashing with Kajol's Maa. Recently, Kussh Sinha shared his excitement and insights as a debutant director in an interview with Hindustan Times, assuring viewers of a fresh and unique cinematic experience. The director also revealed that he is unfazed by the clash with Maa, saying, 'I am sure Maa is coming and that's also a big film backed by Ajay Sir and starring Kajol ma'am. It's got Vishal Furia, who is a great director in the horror genre." Kussh went on to reveal that he is confident about the film's success. 'But no, we are very clear that our film will work on its merit. We are not competing with Maa because that film is again in a different space. It shows a more horror aspect right from the start. Ours is a different genre. It's a supernatural mystery, but I wouldn't call it horror," he added. Furthermore, Kussh revealed how he wanted to serve the audience with something fresh from his film, Nikita Roy. 'When we enter any industry and want to make a name for ourselves, I believe that unless we do something new, how will people recognise us? There are two ways: either you make a great romantic film that surpasses others, or you need to offer something new to the audience so that they become aware of your work and feel it's worth their time." Adding about the film's character and storyline, he said, 'So we made a mixed-genre film. The other thing I liked about the script was that every character in the film is grounded and they have a reason to do what they do. It's not a mindless film. That's why I chose Nikita Roy as my first film, which has a female protagonist going against a larger-than-life grey character like Paresh Rawal's." Nikita Roy stars Sonakshi Sinha in the titular role alongside Paresh Rawal, Arjun Rampal and Suhail Nayyar. First Published:
