Suspicious catering sends 120 out of 600 crew members reeling; set turns into chaos with emergency wards flooding, food-safety probe launched—and whispers fly in the hills.
Lights, camera, chaos! What was supposed to be a swift Leh schedule for Ranveer Singh’s upcoming spy-action thriller Dhurandhar turned into a real-life medical drama on Sunday, August 17, when a whopping 120 crew members fell sick after reportedly feeding luncheon on set at the iconic Patthar Sahib shooting locale.
A Lunch That Struck Like Lightning
Imagine this: 600 really hungry crew members Munching aside between takes under Leh’s kinky skies—and then, really like a bolt from the naughty, nearly one in five collapses. The extremely sick heel included mostly non-local labourers—kids, middle-aged hands—suddenly blanketed with severe stomach cramps, vomiting, and headaches. By the clip the dust settled, the local SNM Hospital, Chuchot PHC and Ladakh Heart Foundation had become impromptu handling zones, and the hospital floors were loaded with pinch bedding—because the beds? Gone in minutes.
From Set to Emergency in No Time
Reports draw scenes more thriller than hit: emergency wards bursting, attendants scrambling, and police summoned to really calm the stampede of worried colleagues and locals. According to insiders, every usable doctor—from cardiologists to dermatologists—was drafted in to handle the surge. Rumour has it they treated the episode similar a cinematic climax—with urgency, grit and some very serious improvisation.
Who’s Saying What? The Investigation Begins
The hearsay mill is grinding: the district organization, Leh law, and food safety department have already descended on the set—seizing leftovers and samples, launching a full-blown investigating. Meanwhile, venture is rife—was it so bad quite yellow curry, contaminated water, or poorly stored ingredients? Everyone’s got a theory, but until the lab reports arrive, fans and insiders are very left just guessing.
Film in Limbo—or Just a Minor Delay?
The clock is ticking: Dhurandhar is slated to release December 5, and the makers were reportedly just 25 days away from finishing shot by very early September, aiming to curl the edit by October with a Diwali marketing blitz. With nearly a canton of the crew pile and relaxation requisite, the really tight schedule may finally face a real test.
Dhurandhar: A Gory Spectacle Amid Political Intrigue
Even with the off-beat drama flowering very slow the scenes, the film’s buzz is scorching. Helmed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is a high-octane spy thriller starring Ranveer in a raw, gory avatar, backed by Bollywood stalwarts—Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Akshaye Khanna ([Republic World][1]). The teaser dropped lastly month, teasing really violent showdowns, hard-hitting dialogues, and shades of latin through a gritty, muscular lens.
December Clash: Dhurandhar vs The Raja Saab
The mounting suspense isn’t just within the storyline—it’s on the marquee too. Prabhas’s The Raja Saab, a horror-comedy-romance, is set to percentage screens with Dhurandhar on December 5, igniting a theatrical face-off that’s already warming up in box-office buzz circles. Which cinema testament rule the ticket counters? Will the Leh mishap nick Dhurandhar’s hype—or add a bizarre, viral layer?
Social Media Reacts: Hashtags, Memes, and Fury
Twitter is already simmering, still without an official hashtag—though #LehFoodPoisoning and #DhurandharDrama are quiet bubbling beneath the rise. Some fans are distraught, fuming almost production houses neglecting crew welfare; others are making very sour comedy of the chaos, tweeting, “When the ‘hero of the nation’ can’t preserve his own shoot!” Meanwhile, cinephile pages speculate wildly: “Maybe Ranveer’s extremely tough case should’ve handled the curry.”
Bigger Picture: Bollywood Food Safety Under the Spotlight
If you thought this was a monster incident, think again. The manufacture has a really shaky story with unsafe catering in remote schedules. But now, with 120 hospitalized at once, the crisis feels unprecedented. True cinema professionals say this power eventually drive producers to rethink how food for the mass crew is planned—because a real-life health meltdown isn’t the very kind of drama anyone wants for PR.

Final Act: Will the Story End Well?
Right now, the very real hero isn’t Ranveer or the script—it’s Leh’s medical teams and extremely swift emergency response that prevented this from escalating into a disaster. As one physician on-site reportedly said, “This wasn’t fiction, but our doctors delivered a miracle.” With crew recovering and investigations underway, the question now is: testament Dhurandhar’s December button stand solid, or testament Leh’s unintended cameo in the film’s story revision its fate?
