Alexander, a 38-year-old man from Russia, has died in Hyderabad.  He had been working as an extra in Megastar Chiranjeevi's 'Sye Raa'.  "He was a member of the British Indian army in the movie.  His visa had expired long back but he continued to stay in India," says a report.

Sunstroke is believed to be the cause of Alexander's death.  He had been roaming in Gachibowli area for days before his death.  On Tuesday, the area's locals noticed him lying unconscious near the DLF building.  When the police were called, they took him to a nearby hospital.  By then, Alexander had died.

It's learned that Ram Charan's production house recruited him last year through a film agency in Mumbai.  Alexander had first come to Goa, where a friend of him connected him to the film agency.  It seems Konidela Productions was not aware of Alexander's visa status.
