“I was sitting 200
metres away from the spot where the fight was being shot. I heard their screams
and rushed to see what happened and came to know that Vivek died on the spot.

“I
was not part of the scene. A high tension line was nearby and there was water
around the spot stocked by the film crew for the fight scene. I refused to be
part of the stunt scene due to Covid-19 and I did not wish to come in contact
with them,” Ajay Rao, who plays the lead role in the film, told Indian Express.
