Veteran
actor
Rishi
Kapoor
has
reacted
to
the
drowning
of
two
actors
during
the
shooting
of
a
Kannada
movie,
by
questioning
the
idea
of
putting
human
lives
in
danger
when
the
facility
of
visual
effects
is
available.
"RIP.
Two
stuntmen
drown
whilst
filming
a
stunt
from
a
chopper
in
a
Kannada
film.
When
VFX
facilities
available,
then
why
endanger
human
lives," Rishi
tweeted.
Two
male
actors
named
Anil
and
Uday
drowned
in
Thippagondanahalli
(TG
Halli)
lake,
about
40
km
northwest
of
Bengaluru,
at
the
confluence
of
Arkavathy
and
Kumudavathi
rivers
in
Ramanagara
district.
They
were
enacting
a
stunt
scene
by
jumping
from
a
helicopter.
The
stunt
act
is
the
climax
of
a
scene
in
the
upcoming
film
"Maastigudi"
where
the
hero
(Duniya
Vijay)
chases
the
two
villains
trying
to
escape
in
a
chopper
from
the
lake
shore.
The
hero
too
hops
onto
the
chopper,
which
flies
over
the
lake's
backwaters.
As
seen
from
the
film
footage,
aired
on
local
news
channels,
in
a
fight
between
the
hero
and
the
duo
the
hero
pushes
both
the
actors
from
the
chopper
and
joins
them
in
the
reservoir
to
carry
on
the
fight.
Vijay
survived
the
jump,
but
Anil
and
Uday
did
not
know
swimming
and
drowned
in
the
middle
of
the
lake
before
they
could
be
rescued.
The
incident
has
raised
questions
about
the
safety
measures
taken
during
risky
film
shoots!
