Nagarjuna’s Apology:
Following the uproar on social media, where the video was shared with the caption, “Where has humanity gone? #nagarjuna,” the actor responded with a public apology. On X, he posted a note stating, “This just came to my notice… this shouldn’t have happened!! I apologize to the gentleman and will take necessary precautions that it will not happen in the future!!” His apology was aimed at addressing the hurt caused by the incident and ensuring such occurrences are avoided in the future.
Public Reaction:
The video was widely circulated and discussed, particularly on platforms like Reddit. Many viewers expressed their disappointment and concern over the treatment of the differently-abled fan. One user commented, “He is disabled. How much humiliated he must have felt.” Another added, “This is heartbreaking. That man didn’t deserve such manhandling.” The consensus among the commenters was that there are better ways to handle fans, especially those who are differently-abled, and that the bodyguard’s actions were unnecessarily harsh.
Some viewers criticized Nagarjuna for not intervening or acknowledging the incident. A comment read, “He is definitely disabled or has some developmental disorder, too. I think he isn’t old. His hands and facial structure reveal that. This move makes it worse. The fact Nagarjuna even noticed it and didn’t stop is terrible.” The incident has highlighted the need for celebrities and their security teams to handle such situations with greater sensitivity and care.
Upcoming Projects:
Amid the controversy, fans are also looking forward to Nagarjuna’s upcoming film, Kubera. The film, which symbolizes wealth through its title referencing the god of wealth, features an ensemble cast including Dhanush, Rashmika Mandanna, and Jim Sarbh. Directed by Sekhar Kammula, Kubera is a pan-India multilingual film, being shot simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.
