Desk. Big news has come out from the Telugu film industry, where veteran actor Rajasekhar became the victim of a serious accident.

Rajasekhar, 63, was shooting for his upcoming film in Medchal area of Hyderabad. During a high-intensity action sequence, he lost his balance and fell fatally. The fall was so severe that the ankle of his right leg was fractured at several places. According to his team, he suffered a compound fracture with right ankle bimalleolar dislocation, which is considered a very serious injury. The team immediately admitted him to a nearby hospital, where doctors decided to perform surgery without delay.
