Telugu Star's Airport Outburst Creates Social Media Storm
Popular Telugu actor Nandamuri Balakrishna found himself at the center of controversy after a video showing him losing his temper with a fan went viral on social media. The incident occurred on Wednesday when the actor arrived in Visakhapatnam for promotional activities of his upcoming film 'Akhanda 2'.
Balakrishna was accompanied by director Boyapati Srinu and co-star Samyuktha as they landed in the coastal city to build excitement for their much-anticipated project. The actor's visit was part of a multi-city tour to promote the sequel to his 2021 blockbuster hit.
The Viral Moment That Sparked Debate
Initial footage shared on Instagram by woworiginals showed a cheerful Balakrishna emerging from Visakhapatnam airport to enthusiastic chants of "Jai Balayya" from waiting fans. The actor appeared in good spirits, smiling warmly and accepting flower bouquets from admirers who had gathered to catch a glimpse of their favorite star.
However, the situation took an unexpected turn when Balakrishna's expression suddenly changed. The actor was seen pointing aggressively toward a specific individual in the crowd and shouting, "Move aside. Why are you here? Who asked you to come?" His sudden outburst surprised both fans and security personnel present at the location.
Following his angry remarks, Balakrishna immediately gestured toward police officers accompanying his team, seemingly instructing them to handle the situation and control the crowd. The entire episode was captured on multiple mobile phones and quickly spread across various social media platforms.
From Anger to Composure: Balayya's Quick Shift
Known for his unpredictable temperament during public appearances, Balakrishna demonstrated remarkable recovery shortly after the confrontation. The veteran actor quickly regained his composure and resumed interacting with his fan base, even pausing to take selfies with several supporters.
This wasn't the first instance of such behavior during the current promotional tour. At another event in Hyderabad, the actor had similarly raised his voice at fans who failed to follow instructions from the security team. These repeated incidents have sparked considerable discussion online about celebrity-fan interactions and crowd management at public events.
Despite the initial tension, Balakrishna eventually posed for photographs and selfies once the situation stabilized, showing his willingness to engage with genuine admirers while maintaining necessary boundaries.
