Vishal Kotian's confirmation on his X handle
Taking to his X handle, Vishal confirmed the news of the passing of stuntman Raju. In his long emotional note, he wrote, "So difficult to digest the fact that stunt artist Raju passed away while doin a car toppling sequence for jammy and Ranjith's film this morning. Hav known Raju for so many years and he has performed so many risky stunts in my films time and time again as he is such a brave person."

What happened on the set that led to stuntman Raju’s accident?
A video has surfaced on the internet that exactly showcases how the accident of stuntman Raju took place. We can see the camera team actively shooting a scene on an open ground. The car in which the late stuntman was present came in full speed, climbed an elevated plank, and flew in the air. After falling on the ground, it toppled twice.
This appeared normal to the team as it must be a part of how the scene looks, hence no one rushed immediately. Later, on realising something major has happened, the team can be seen running towards the car.
No official statement has been released from either the filmmaker or the actor. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more such updates.
