A group of Telangana activists disrupted the shooting of actor Balakrishna’s film at Kesara in Ranga Reddy district on Monday.
The Telangana Rashtra Samiti activists raised “Jai Telangana” slogans and disrupted the shooting at about 11 am at Rampallidayara village. The movie titled Simha, featuring Balakrishna and Sneha Ullal, is slated to hit the screens next month. Both Balakrishna and Sneha were not present on the sets when the activists raised slogans.
The TRS activists said they will not allow Balakrishna to shoot in the Telangana region if he did not pledge his support to the demand for Telangana state.
“After the shooting of the film had ended, we needed a village backdrop for some scenes. Hence, we had chosen a nearby village. However, the TRS workers came here and began shouting slogans. We had to call off the shooting,” said Mr Boyapati Sreenu, the director.
Meanwhile, police said that the film unit did not take permission for the shooting.
“The film unit did not inform us or take our permission. However, when we got to know of the incident, we got there and dispersed the activists,” said Mr Bhadreshwar, inspector.
