NTR, yet another target
- IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,December 27 2009]
On Saturday, slogans were raised by some members who identified themselves as belonging to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi against actor Junior NTR, who was shooting at a college in the Old City. Though there was no destruction to property, angry slogans were raised against the actor.
NTR is viewed as belonging to the TDP camp. Moreover, as he is the son of Hari Krishna, who openly declared that the TD is committed to United Andhra, T-supporters have targeted his film 'Adhurs' and successfully stopped it from releasing on the eve of Christmas.
The actor was shooting for a fight sequence at a women's college for his film Brindavanam, along with director Vamsi Paidipalli. Producer Dil Raju, actor Supreeth were also present there.
There was no loss to the makes in terms of destruction of property, because they had police bandobast well in advance. Around two dozen protestors went away after making pro-Telangana and anti-NTR slogans.
Except for a brief period when the shooting had to be cancelled, it resumed later.
