Prabha’s military halted after crew member’s death
According to Deccan Chronicle, the unexpected incident took place near Abdullapurmet on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The film crew was reportedly traveling to Ramoji Film City for a scheduled shoot when their vehicle lost control and crashed into a cement divider.
