What started out as a regular shooting on the waters of Godavari on 15th March, turned into a junior artist missing in the waters only to be found dead drowning the next day. This happened during the on going production of Suresh productions film starring Raviteja, Anushka. The scene involved heroine Anushka pushing Raviteja and Sunil into Godavari. Two dupes replaced Raviteja and Sunil. When the director said okay, Anushka pushed the two dupes (picked locally from Rajamundry) into the waters of Godavari. The dupe for Sunil (Ramesh) survived the waters but (Mahendra Sharma) was no where to be found then. The body was found today at Purushothampuram. Ramesh confirmed that they both were asked if they knew swimming. After they were pushed into the waters, a boat was sent to pick them up. When the pick up boat went there, they saw both the heads but one was drowing (Mahendra). They tried to get hold of Mahendra but he was out of reach then. The unit conducted a quick search and immediately left the spot is what is heard. The locals are very irked with the whole cinema unit. They are insisting on registering a complaint with the police on heroine Anushka who pushed them and the production unit. However, the police are not sure if they can register the case as the dupes intentionally took up the risk on them. Family of Mahendra seemed to have migrated from Rajasthan a while ago. Mahendra comes from a very poor family. It is a very unfortunate event and loss to the family is not recoverable. Our deepest condolences to the family.
