In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, director Vamsee shared a heart-pounding incident that unfolded on the sets of his upcoming action thriller, 'Tiger Nageswara Rao.' The incident involves the film's lead actor, Ravi Teja, and a dangerous stunt gone awry. This behind-the-scenes account sheds light on the dedication of the actor and the challenges faced during the making of the film.
'Tiger Nageswara Rao' is set to be an action-packed extravaganza, and Vamsee and his team spared no effort in creating a jaw-dropping action sequence. They erected a massive 40-feet-tall set for a pivotal scene. What makes this incident even more thrilling is that it occurred on the very first day of shooting and in the very first shot of the film.
Vamsee explained, "We have erected a 40-feet tall set. Ravi Teja did the stunts by himself. It was the first day and the first shot. The action director was ready."
The adrenaline was already pumping as the crew geared up for this high-risk stunt. Ravi Teja, known for his penchant for performing his own stunts, was supposed to jump from a height of 20 feet from the ground level. The stunt coordinators were prepared, but what happened next was completely unexpected.
"Stunt coordinators dropped him unexpectedly, and he hit the jimmy head," Vamsee revealed. In the midst of the chaos that followed, Ravi Teja displayed remarkable resilience. "Ravi said nothing happened, but I was worried."
Amidst the anxiety and shock of the on-set accident, Ravi Teja displayed tremendous grit and determination. He insisted that he was okay, even though the injury was far from minor. "When I saw the injury, there was a 3-inch hole on his right leg caused by the iron nob of the jimmy head. He was bleeding, but he kept saying, 'I am okay.'"
The film's staff immediately sprang into action. Ravi Teja was swiftly taken to the hospital for medical attention. Vamsee admitted that he contemplated calling off the shoot, given the severity of the situation. However, he received a call from the hospital later that day that reassured him. "I got a call from the hospital the same day, and he told me he would come back to shoot on the third day. He had around 12 stitches."
'Tiger Nageswara Rao' promises to be a heart-pounding thriller set in the 1970s. The film stars Ravi Teja in the titular role, alongside an ensemble cast featuring Anupam Kher, Nupur Sanon, Renu Desai, Jisshu Sengupta, Gayatri Bhardwaj, and Murali Sharma.
The film's plot revolves around Tiger Nageswara Rao, a formidable thief who terrorizes the realm of Stuartpuram. He also becomes the mastermind behind a series of audacious heists, earning him a reputation as a legendary criminal. The movie's narrative unfolds in the thrilling cat-and-mouse game between Tiger and the relentless pursuit of the law enforcement officers.
With acclaimed cinematographer R. Madhi capturing the action, Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao as the editor, and music composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, 'Tiger Nageswara Rao' is poised to deliver a cinematic experience like no other.
