The actress, who was trying to move aside, took it sportingly and laughed it off, but netizens were shocked by the actor’s behaviour.

In a shocking event, Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna was seen pushing actress Anjali when he was on the stage at a promotional event for her film, 'Gangs of Godavari'.

The actress, who was trying to move aside, took it sportingly and laughed it off, but netizens were shocked by the actor’s behaviour.

In the video that is now viral on the net, Nandamuri Balakrishna, who was invited as a guest at an event of Krishna Chaitanya's upcoming Telugu action film 'Gangs of Godavari', is seen asking the actresses to move aside.

The veteran actor, who is seen in a sherwani, asks Neha Shetty, who is seen in a grey lehenga, and Anjali (dressed in a white sari), to step aside.

But just when the actresses are trying to make the adjustments, Nandamuri pushes Anjali away, almost making her tumble and fall.

Anjali laughs it out, along with Neha, while Nandamuri continues to scold the actress, and his expression is also very stern.

Director Hansal Mehta tweeted the video and wrote, "Who is this scumbag?"

The most uncouth fellow... Sadly women actors have to put up and pretend to laugh it off fearing loss of opportunities. And he is a lawmaker too. The reaction of the crowd tells everything about the Telugu society https://t.co/IiVKrlNjF6
