Actor Junior NTR faced protests from TRS activists at Hussaini Alam in Old city when he was shooting at Khursheedja College on Saturday. A few TRS activists reached the college premises at 2 pm and started raising slogans against the actor while he was shooting for his movie 'Brindavanam'.
The movie is being directed by Vamsi Paidipalli and produced by popular filmmaker 'Dil' Raju. Actress Kajal is the heroine in this film. Junior NTR was present in the college while the activists raised slogans against him. Producer Mr 'Dil' Raju said that TRS activists couldn't enter the college premises as local police were guarding the college and they completed shooting without any damage or trouble in the college premises.
"We had a fight sequence to be shot which is why we chose this college. Junior NTR was here for the shoot and we could complete our shoot. Though there were a few activists raising slogans, it was a minor incident and police could manage it." Mr Raju said when contacted.
Police officials said that they have not booked any case against the activists as they left the place after raising slogans against Junior NTR and his family for taking united AP stand. Cops said that since the college premises is huge and the shooting was taking place in a building far away from the main gate, the activists couldn't reach them.
" Today is the first day of this movie's shooting in our area. We knew that the film shooting was happening in the college. Since there were attacks on the other film shootings in the city since the past one week, we provided security for the shooting. The activists raised slogans against the actor and demanded him to support the separate Telangana state cause. We warned the activists and sent them away" said, Manzoor Hussain, SI, Hussaini Alam Police Station. The film unit claimed that they will not shoot in the college for the next few days due to Moharram festival and other disturbances in the city.
