Looks like,
things are not going right for the makers of Amitabh Bachchan and Chiranjeevi
starrer Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy as mishaps are often happening on-the-sets of
the film. After the sets caught fire, the film’s set witnessed a tragic death,
recently.
This
unfortunate incident took place when a man named Alexander, who worked as an
extra in Chiranjeevi’s film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy was found unconscious near
a DLF building in Hyderabad on Tuesday. He was soon rushed to hospital, but he
succumbed to a heatstroke, the same evening.
Reportedly,
the Russian man had come to Hyderabad to work with the Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy
team for the role of a British man in the film. A report in TOI states, “The
Russian was identified as Alexander by cops. The man didn’t have any passport
or documents on him, but the camera that he carried had photos of the film set.
Inquiries with the film crew revealed that he had a Russian friend, Borez, in
Goa who confirmed his identity. Alexander had arrived in India in April on
tourist visa and stayed with his friend in Goa. From there he had gone to
Mumbai where he was picked by film agents who sent him to Hyderabad to be an
extra in Chiranjeevi movie."
Talking
about the film, it is based on the life of freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha
Reddy who revolted against British East India Company in Rayalaseema area of
Andhra Pradesh 10 years before the 1857 mutiny. Alexander was acting as one of
the Britishers.
