Chiranjeevi’s Kaaka choreographer Sekhar Master safe, to return to sets

Hyderabad: Well-known dance choreographer Jani Master on Thursday confirmed that his colleague Sekhar Master, who met with an accident while returning from the shooting of actor Chiranjeevi’s ‘Kaaka’, was doing fine and would return to the film’s sets on Thursday evening.

Taking to X to share an update on Sekhar Master’s health, Jani wrote, “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!”

Rumours doing the rounds had suggested that dance choreographer Sekhar Master had sustained minor injuries in an accident involving a truck carrying fruits. The truck had rammed into the choreographer’s vehicle from behind. The accident had reportedly taken place at Shamshabad when the choreographer was returning after choreographing a song for ‘Kaaka’.

‘Kaaka’, which is being directed by Bobby Kolli, has generated considerable interest among fans and film buffs. Excitement surrounding the film increased further when the makers recently announced that popular Bollywood director and actor Anurag Kashyap had joined the project.

Chiranjeevi had recently revealed during a speech at an event that he was playing a character named Kadiri Kalidas in the film.

Sources close to the film’s unit said that while ‘Kaaka’ has been envisioned as a high-intensity action entertainer, it will also feature a strong emotional and family-oriented narrative, making the protagonist’s character arc one of its key attractions.

Sources close to the film’s unit also said that the first half of the film ends with a spectacular action sequence. They claimed that the interval fight sequence, which was shot recently, is set to be one of the film’s major attractions. The action sequence has been designed and executed on a grand scale and is expected to provide a powerful high point before the second half.

Sources also claimed that the initial output had given the team immense confidence, with the narrative maintaining the right mix of intensity, entertainment, emotion and action.

Anaswara Rajan and Nivetha Pethuraj play pivotal roles in the film, which is currently being planned for a Sankranthi 2027 release.

This is the second time director Bobby has collaborated with Megastar Chiranjeevi. The two had earlier worked together on the action entertainer ‘Waltair Veerayya’.
