The film unit, comprising nearly 20 members, reached Nepal on Friday, a day before the massive quake struck the country.
All the members of the film unit were reported safe in the quake as they were shooting in the open, he said, citing information received from the crew members.
Vijay, who is related to the producer of the film, Kishan, died in the tragedy, he said.
He ran a dance school in Guntur district.
The crew later went to a local police station and formalities like post-mortem were being done, Maharishi said.
The film, ‘Etakaram.com’, is said to be a venture of debutants.
