Fan rush damages escalator as police intervene during actor’s visit
March 8, 2026: A large crowd gathered to see Jr NTR during a hospital inauguration event, leading to chaotic scenes outside the venue. As the actor arrived, fans rushed toward the entrance, chanting slogans and attempting to move closer despite security barriers. Videos circulating on social media showed supporters crowding the lobby area, creating difficulties for police and security personnel trying to manage the swelling gathering.
According to reports, several fans climbed onto an escalator inside the hospital complex in their eagerness to enter the building. The heavy pressure from the crowd reportedly damaged the escalator, forcing authorities to restrict access to that section of the premises. Police eventually carried out a mild lathi charge to disperse the crowd and restore order while creating a secure corridor for the actor to enter the building safely.
Despite the commotion, Jr NTR remained calm and greeted fans as he entered the hospital, waving to supporters who had gathered to see him. On the work front, the actor was recently seen in War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani, marking his Bollywood debut and drawing attention for its high-energy action sequences.
