Popular Telugu superstar Jr NTR found himself at the centre of a massive fan frenzy during a recent visit to a hospital in Bengaluru. The actor had arrived at the medical facility to attend an inauguration event, but the gathering quickly turned chaotic as hundreds of fans rushed to catch a glimpse of him.

According to reports, the actor was invited to inaugurate a new facility at KIMS Hospitals. However, the excitement surrounding his presence drew a huge crowd both inside and outside the premises. Fans gathered in large numbers, chanting slogans and attempting to move closer to the star, despite the security arrangements at the venue.

As the crowd surged toward the entrance of the building, the situation became difficult for security personnel to control. Videos circulating on social media showed enthusiastic fans pushing forward in an attempt to see the actor up close. In the rush to reach the event area, several fans reportedly crowded onto an escalator inside the hospital complex.

The excessive pressure from the crowd eventually caused damage to the escalator, prompting authorities to restrict access to that section of the building. The chaotic scenes inside the hospital lobby raised safety concerns and briefly disrupted the inauguration programme.

Police personnel stationed at the venue quickly intervened to bring the situation under control. Reports suggest that officers had to carry out a mild lathi charge to disperse the crowd and restore order. Authorities also formed a security corridor to ensure that Jr NTR could safely enter the building and proceed with the scheduled event.

Despite the disorder caused by the overwhelming turnout, Jr NTR appeared calm and acknowledged his supporters. Videos from the venue showed the actor waving to fans and greeting them as he made his way into the hospital. His brief interaction further fueled the excitement among admirers who had gathered to see him.
