Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna came under the scanner recently after his ‘indecent’ behaviour became the talk of the town. He attended the pre-release event of actress Anjali’s upcoming movie Gangs of Godavari, where he can be seen pushing the latter aside on the stage. The video went viral on social media and created outrage among people. Bollywood’s renowned filmmaker Hansal Mehta shared the video on his ‘X’ account (formerly known as Twitter) and called the actor turned politician a ‘scumbag’. 

He tweeted the video and wrote, “Who is this scumbag?” People made several comments on the video. A user wrote, “I hate to think of how he acts behind closed doors.” Another said, “I’m more worried about all those people who were cheering for him.” 

A comment read, “He's a big telugu star but he's also misogynistic, sexist, womanizer and maybe racist. But he's into politics as well, so obviously he gets away with it.” A user said, “And why is she so amused at being pushed so rudely?”  A fan commented, “Sir please watch the full video, he is kidding, it’s a joke, he gives a high five to the actress as well. This video has been taken out of context”
