Police yesterday reported that two actors died after a helicopter stunt went wrong and they drowned in a resevoir.
Anil Kumar and Raghav Uday jumped into the water from a low-flying helicopter for the climax scene of their new action movie.
But the men failed to resurface and have been presumed dead.
Another actor, Duniya Vijay, who also jumped in made it out of the water alive.
The crew were shooting above the Thippagondanahalli Reservoir, 35km west of Bangalore, yesterday afternoon local time.
They were filming a new Kannada movie called Masthigudi, supposedly based on the life of actor Duniya Vijay.
The Superintendent of Police of Ramanagara, southern India, where the incident took place, has filed a case according to India Today .
Response from what appeared to be a rescue boat on a standby appeared too late to pull out two of the actors, Raghav Uday and Anil, who struggled in the waters below.
