Vijay Deverakonda escapes train accident

Vijay Deverakonda has escaped a major train accident while shooting for ‘Dear Comrade’ in Kakinada.  

In a scene, the actor had to get on to a moving train.  In making the attempt, he slipped while getting over the footboard.  Since a few helpers were put in place to pull Deverakonda back in case of any emergency, they dragged him out, preventing an accident.

Due to a cyclone in coastal Andhra Pradesh, the shoot of the film has been called off. “Met prediction – Cyclonic winds and Rough Sea. Me – Shoot Cancelled & Chillll,” a relaxed Deverakonda said on Facebook.  

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and starring Rashmika Mandanna as the heroine, ‘Dear Comrade’ will hit the screens in Summer 2019.
