Telugu film choreographer Sekhar Master escaped with minor injuries after a lorry hit his car near Shamshabad, Hyderabad. Jani Master says he is fine.
Sekhar Master, one of the best-known dance choreographers in Telugu cinema, escaped with minor injuries after a lorry rammed his car from behind near Shamshabad, on the edge of Hyderabad, Deccan Chronicle and Siasat reported. His name was the top search in India on Thursday, 12 November, as fans looked for news of his condition.
What happened to Sekhar Master?
He was returning from a shoot for Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film Kaaka when a lorry carrying fruit hit the rear of his car, according to Deccan Chronicle. Most reports place the crash on the night of Wednesday, 11 November, in the Shamshabad area; one outlet said it happened early in the morning. The back of the car was badly damaged.
Reports describe his injuries as minor, mostly scratches. Accounts differ on who else was in the car: Deccan Chronicle said another dance master and the driver were also inside and were unhurt. Police have not released a detailed statement, so the specifics come from press reports.
Is Sekhar Master okay?
Yes, according to fellow choreographer Jani Master. He wrote on X that he had spoken to Sekhar Master, that he was doing fine, and that he would be back on the Kaaka set that evening, The Hans India reported. In a Telugu TV interview quoted by Eenadu, Sekhar Master himself credited Lord Ayyappa’s blessings for the fact that nothing serious happened.
Who is Sekhar Master?
He has choreographed songs for most of the big Telugu stars, and also judges dance reality shows on Telugu television, which is why his name reaches far beyond film fans.
Work on Kaaka, Chiranjeevi’s next film, is expected to continue as scheduled.
