Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh is all set to make a comeback, after his cameo in Rohit Shetty’s multi-starrer cop film Singham Again, with Aditya Dhar directorial Dhurandhar. The highly anticipated film faced an unexpected setback recently, when around 120 crew members were hospitalized in Leh after suffering from food poisoning during a shooting schedule in Ladakh.
While earlier it was reported that the reason behind it was poor food quality or cost-cutting on set, local authorities have now confirmed that it was due to a wider chicken contamination issue which was reported across Leh.

In a release shared by the movie’s team, a source explained, “This is one of the biggest films in production right now. Why would there be any need for cost cutting at all? Leh is an incredibly difficult terrain to shoot. This is a unit of over 300 people. There was a local contamination issue which led to this. It is horrible that such ridiculous rumours are floating.”
Stressing on the fact that the makers’ priority has always been their workers’ safety, the insider explained, “Health, hygiene, and crew safety have consistently been treated as top priorities. Additional precautions and stricter supplier checks are now in place, even as the unit has resumed work.”
