A pre-dawn highway collision left choreographer Sekhar Master's car crumpled on Thursday morning, but he walked away without a scratch.
Four people were inside the vehicle when a lorry struck it around 6:00 AM near Gollapalli village, within the jurisdiction of the Shamshabad Police Station in Telangana's Rangareddy district. The crew was heading home after wrapping an exhausting overnight film shoot. While the impact crushed sections of the car's bodywork, none of the four occupants sustained any injuries.
Shamshabad Police officials confirmed the incident and verified that all four passengers emerged completely unscathed. Investigators have initiated a formal inquiry to piece together the exact sequence of events that triggered the crash.
The news triggered immediate panic among industry colleagues and fans, prompting the veteran dance master to issue a direct statement addressing the deluge of phone calls and messages.
Yesterday, there was a night movie shooting. After finishing it, today in the early morning hours around 6, when we were returning home, an accident occurred. We were four in the car and nothing happened to us. We are all safe, only the car was damaged. Everyone is calling and texting me. I am in Ayyappa Deeksha and he saved us. Today, I will participate in the shooting.
Sekhar attributed his survival to his observance of the sacred Ayyappa Deeksha, expressing firm faith that spiritual grace shielded the vehicle's occupants from disaster. Refusing to let the scare derail production schedules, the choreographer confirmed he is heading straight back to the film sets later in the day.
