'Comrade Kalyan', starring Sri Vishnu as the hero, was released on October 9 and is being screened with good talk. In this context, a making video shared by the film crew is shocking everyone. This incident took place in February 2025 while filming in the forests of Mangalore. While filming an action scene on a high bridge, Srikanth Iyengar lost control and almost fell down.

Film presenter Kona Venkat also reacted emotionally to this incident. "Our actors risk their lives to act. We live for film. If you support that film and make it a blockbuster, it feels like we have been reborn. Our Srikanth and I are very happy with this success," he wrote in his post.
