His followers also agreed with him. “Absolutely pathetic,” wrote one, while another wrote, “He was drunk at that time in a public event. Such a gentleman…Imagine if that was a Bollywood actor?”

“Classic example of not having spines for the sake of opportunities. Deep rooted rot truly and sad to see even women not call it out,” shared one user.

A video of Nandamuri appearing on stage as a special guest at a promotional event for Krishna Chaitanya's upcoming Telugu action film Gangs of Godavari has surfaced on social media. It shows him donning a white sherwani.

He is seen ordering the two actors from the movie, Anjali, wearing a white sari, and Neha Shetty, wearing a grey crop top and skirt, to move aside after entering the stage. Anjali is soon seen falling when he pushes her away.

Despite being stunned by the action, Anjali laughs off her nerves. In the meantime, Nandamuri chastises her while maintaining a severe expression. On stage, he can also be seen giving Anjali a high five.

Social media users were shocked by the filmmaker’s  behaviour on stage. In fact, filmmaker Hansal Mehta also reposted the video on his social media handle and wrote, “Who is this scumbag?”

One user shared, “This man is a superstar, a successful politician and he’s on stage being cheered as he pushes a female co-star… Balayya is a serial offender and never changes.”

“Won't be surprised if there comes a pr spin on this,” wrote one user, with one sharing, “Typical Indian male trying to show masculinity by battering a woman”.
