A fire broke out during taping at a television studio in southern India, killing at least 36 people and injuring 55, including one of India’s best-known actors. The fire destroyed the six-story Premier Studios building in Mysore, about 75 miles southwest of Bangalore. Among the injured was Sanjay Khan, a well-known actor and director, who was burned over 60% of his body, the United News of India news agency said. Many of the film workers were burned to death when they were unable to open a door that had been locked to keep out spectators, police and hospital officials said.
