The devastating news was officially confirmed and condolences were extended by actor and Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, via social media.

Shocking Accident Claims Young Life

The tragic incident occurred earlier this week, reportedly on Monday. According to reports from the Kannada media outlet Kannada Prabha, young Sonarsh became tragically trapped in a lift, which resulted in his untimely demise. The sudden and devastating nature of the accident has plunged Kirtan Nadagouda and his wife, Samriddhi Patel, into profound grief.

As of now, the director and his family have maintained silence, likely processing the immense tragedy that has befallen them.

A Director on the Rise in Pan-India Cinema

Kirtan Nadagouda is a recognized name in the Kannada film industry, having worked extensively in the direction department of numerous projects. His fame notably soared after he began collaborating with visionary director Prashanth Neel. Nadagouda served as a second unit director and co-director on the immensely successful KGF franchise and the recent box office giant Salaar.

Beyond his work with Neel, the filmmaker was poised for a significant career milestone. He was preparing to make his directorial debut in the Telugu film industry with a horror project, backed by the prestigious banner Mythri Movie Makers and Prashanth Neel. This new film had only just been launched last month, making the sudden tragedy even more poignant for the creative community.
