Nandamuri
balakrishna or
balayya, a
telugu actor and politician, sparked outrage after a video of him shoving actor
anjali on stage during the 'Gangs of Godavari'
event went viral. Although
anjali shrugged it off on stage, several
social media users chastised him for his arrogant and disrespectful attitude on stage. Hansal Mehta, a filmmaker, uploaded the footage and labelled him a'scumbag'.
In the footage,
balayya can be heard begging
anjali to relocate as he takes centre stage. He was extremely agitated and shoved
anjali to the side, much to the surprise of everyone. The pre-release ceremony for actor Vishwak Sen's 'Gangs of Godavari' had
balayya as the principal guest. He was invited to the stage to deliver his remarks and take a photo with the cast and crew. He urged
anjali to step to the side as they prepared to snap a picture.
When
balayya pushed her, actor
neha shetty was visibly shocked. After pushing her, the 'Akhanda' actor gave her a high-five on stage.
Here's the extended version of the video:
Internet users found
balayya to be extremely rude and disrespectful. Many shared their comments below the video and questioned his manners.
