In the video, a fan, reportedly a cafe staff member, attempted to approach Nagarjuna when he was pushed by the bodyguard, causing him to stumble. However, the bodyguard assisted him back up.
The incident garnered significant criticism from netizens after it was shared by paparazzo Viral Bhayani with the caption "Where has humanity gone? #nagarjuna". The video captured Nagarjuna leaving an airport alongside his security team and his co-star Dhanush from the film Kubera.
Speaking of Kubera, it is described as an emotional thriller with Dhanush playing a unique role. Nagarjuna Akkineni essays a pivotal role as a cop, while Rashmika Mandanna stars as the female lead.
