Bengaluru, Oct 8 (IBNS) : A massive search is still on for two Kannada actors believed to have drowned in a dam on Monday after they jumped off a helicopter while shooting for a film 35 km west off Bengaluru, reports said.

Stuntmen Anil and Uday, while filming the climax of Kannada movie "Masthigudi", plunged into the waters from a height of around 30 feet. They never surfaced.
