When Nagarjuna and Dhanush were criticized for pushing their fans
This isn’t the first time celebrities have faced backlash for disregarding or, in some cases, pushing fans aside at airports. Previously, a video surfaced showing Nagarjuna’s bodyguard pushing a specially-abled fan trying to click a selfie with him, leading to criticism of the actor.
Nagarjuna later apologized, stating that he had not witnessed the incident at the airport. He subsequently met with the fan and took a selfie with him, acknowledging that the situation was his responsibility. Similarly, a video captured Dhanush’s bodyguard pushing a fan while the actor was filming for Kubera at Juhu Beach in Mumbai. However, Dhanush has yet to address the controversy surrounding the incident.
Chiranjeevi’s work front
Chiranjeevi is preparing for the release of his forthcoming film, Vishwambhara, which is slated for a January 10, 2025 release. Trisha Krishnan will star as the female lead in the movie.
In other news, Chiranjeevi and his family recently traveled to Paris to attend the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Accompanying him were his son Ram Charan, wife Upasana, and their daughter, Klin Kaara Konidela. The actor’s wife Surekha was also in attendance at the event.
