'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.
