Pratyusha Banerjee’s father called her prostitute :Rahul Raj Singh The Thippagondanahalli (TG Halli) lake is about 40 km northwest of Bengaluru at the confluence of Arkavathy and Kumudavathi rivers in Ramanagara district. It is one of the sources of drinking water supply to Bengaluru. "Efforts are on to recover the bodies of the two from the lake. The fire brigade and the National Disaster Relief Force have been searching in the backwaters since 4 p.m. but did not find any body till darkness set in," said Nandeesha. The stunt act is the climax of a scene in the upcoming film 'Maastigudi' where the hero (Vijay) chases the two villains trying to escape in a chopper from the lake shore. The hero too hops onto the chopper, which flies over the lake's backwaters. As seen from the film footage, aired on local news channels, in a fight between the hero and the duo, the hero pushes both the actors from the chopper and joins them in the reservoir to carry on the fight.

"There were no life jackets or a rescue team or an ambulance for such a mishap," added Nandeesha. IANS
