Choreographer Shekhar Master and three others escaped unhurt after a lorry hit the car near Gollapalli village on Thursday.

Choreographer Shekhar Master met with a road accident while travelling in his car in the early hours of Thursday. As per the latest update from news agency ANI, he and three others escaped unhurt after a lorry hit their car near Gollapalli village under Shamshabad Police Station limits in Rangareddy district in the early morning hours.

Shekhar Master's health update

Shekhar Master has been part of the shoot for Allu Arjun-starrer Kaaka.

The Shamshabad Police shared that they are investigating the matter.

Meanwhile, choreographer Jani Master shared an update about Shekhar Master on his X account. He wrote that Shekhar is doing fine and is expected to resume shoot from Thursday evening itself. “Been receiving calls from many near and dear ones enquiring about #SekharMaster’s accident while returning from the shoot of #Kaaka. I spoke to the master and I’m happy to share that he is doing fine. He will also be joining the #Kaaka shoot this evening. Let’s all pray for his good health and the well-being of everyone. Stay safe!” he wrote.

The new leg of the shoot began on September 7 and has been described by the team as a “lengthy and crucial” one. Last month, the makers announced that Anurag Kashyap has joined the cast of Bobby Kolli’s film. Bobby has also hinted that his character will have a strong impact on the story, saying on Instagram, “Some characters are meant to leave a lasting impact” and that Anurag will “add another intense layer to this high-voltage entertainer”.

Kaaka’s title glimpse, released on Chiranjeevi’s 71st birthday, gave audiences their first real hint of what the film is about. Chiranjeevi plays Satyam, a supervisor at Ammaji Aqua Industries, a shrimp farm in Ravulapalem. The glimpse then cuts to a younger, sharper-looking Chiranjeevi firing guns in an action-heavy sequence. Anaswara Rajan plays Chiranjeevi’s daughter in Kaaka. It remained unclear whether Chiranjeevi is playing two separate characters or showing different phases of the same character.

KVN Productions is backing the project. Work on the film is moving ahead on more than one front. The cast has reportedly started dubbing after a traditional pooja, while post-production is also underway. Chiranjeevi recently shared an update on the production, revealing that the entire first half has been shot and around 30% of the second half is also complete. The team is now working towards wrapping the remaining portions ahead of the film’s theatrical release.
