Final tragic selfie of two stunt actors minutes before they were filmed falling to their deaths in movie scene

This is the moment a stunt actor with his bare-chested colleague posed for a selfie before the pair died after plunging from a helicopter into a lake while shooting a movie scene.

Uday Raghava, 28, and Anil, 31, were shooting the climax of the Kannada movie Maastigudi when the stunt went awry.

The two actors jumped off the chopper into Tippagondanahalli lake in Karnataka, Indian, from a height of more than 60 feet.

Lead actor Duniya Vijay, who also jumped after them, was rescued by a fisherman while trying to swim towards the shore.

While Vijay was wearing a life jacket inside a camouflaged jacket, Anil and Uday were just wearing pants.


All the three had rehearsed the scene before the shoot.

In the footage, Uday and Anil are seen trying hard to swim in the lake as they scream for help.

But, before people could understand what was happening, the two were immersed in the water.

Now, 24 hours of the incident, there has been no sign of the actors.

Before the actors went for the shoot, Uday had told local press he was not a good swimmer and was "scared as he had not done a stunt like this before."

The video from the shooting location shows people on the shore shouting at a rescue boat to rush towards the drowning stunt men, but it could not move due to a technical fault. It is also alleged that there were no expert divers or swimmers on the spot.
