Two actors have gone missing and are feared drowned in a stunt gone wrong at Tippagondanahalli lake on Magadi Road, 35km west of Bengaluru. The stunt was part of the shooting for the film âMasti Gudiâ starring Duniya Vijay. As part of the stunt, Vijay and two other actors, Anil and Uday, jumped into the lake from a helicopter. While Vijay swam to the shore, the two other actors did not surface. A search operation is on to find the duo. However, police have said that the chances of recovering them are slim. The incident took place at around 3pm on Monday. Sources allege that adequate safety measures were not taken during the shoot, and prior rehearsal for the shoot had not taken place. A team consisting of expert swimmers are on the spot searching for the two men. Meanwhile, their friends at the spot say they were not expert swimmers. It is also not known whether all three actors had safety harnesses. There were a few channels covering the stunt and reporters on the spot say that only Duniya Vijay had a safety harness, while the other two didn't. There were reportedly no ambulances or speed boats on standby to help if needed. Ramanagara SP Chandragupta told media that a criminal case will be registered against the "Maasti Gudi" unit. |
