A dramatic accident unfolded on the sets of Tollywood actor Nikhil’s upcoming film The Indian House in Shamshabad, Hyderabad, when a massive water tanker, used for filming sea scenes, suddenly burst during production on Wednesday, June 11. The force of the explosion caused flooding across the entire location, creating chaos among the cast and crew.
