"RIP.Two stuntmen drown whilst filming a stunt from a chopper in a Kannada film. When VFX facilities available,then why endanger human lives?" the Kapoor and Sons actor tweeted along with the photo of the budding Kannada actors.

Indian television actress Parul Yadav, who is now working in Kannada film industry, in a series of tweet, conveyed her condolences and expressed her sadness over the tragic death of the actors. "Kannada actors Anil and Uday breathed their last due to disregard for safety on #Mastigudi sets! Aren't stunt choreographers responsible?"

"Wish people understood the value of human life. Praying that the families of these actors have enough strength for this.. :( #shocked," she added.

Raghav and Uday were shooting for the climax scene of Duniya Vijay's upcoming film Masti Gudi on November 7 when the incident took place. The two actors drowned when the helicopter shot for an action scene went wrong. The Masti Gudi team was shooting in Thippagondanahalli Reservoir, 35 km west of Bengaluru, for the climax scene.

Raghav, Uday and popular actor Duniya Vijay had jumped into the lake for the scene. While the team rescued Vijay, the other two went missing. Soon after the tragic incident, video of Raghav and Uday jumping from the helicopter went viral. The disaster reportedly happened due to inadequate safety measures on the sets of the film. According to reports, Raghav and Uday were not provided with safety harnesses or life jackets for the scene, while Vijay was given a harness.

Jan 2: A young filmmaker was allegedly assaulted by an acquaintance during an argument over CAA-NRC in neighbouring Salt Lake City, police said on Wednesday.

The police have arrested the accused following a complaint by the filmmaker.

According to a senior police officer, the argument over the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) began following a social media post by the filmmaker.

The accused allegedly went to the house of the filmmaker on Monday night and picked up an argument, which led to a scuffle.

"During the scuffle, the accused attacked the filmmaker with a knife," the senior police officer said, adding that the accused has been booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.

New Delhi, Feb 25: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday gave time to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to seek instructions on travel ban imposed on comedian Kunal Kamra.

Kamra approached the court against IndiGo which suspended him from flying with the airlines for a period of six months. Other airlines had also followed the suit in pursuance to this.

Justice Naveen Chawla said that the regulatory body should not have certified actions of airlines other than IndiGo to ban Kamra without conducting inquiry. The matter will now be heard on February 27.

Last month, IndiGo had barred the stand-up comedian for six months from using its services for allegedly portraying "unacceptable behaviour" onboard its flight.

The airline claimed that Kamra, while travelling on a Mumbai-Lucknow IndiGo flight, provoked a TV news anchor by asking questions over his news presentation style.
