Fan Frenzy Turns Foul: Bengaluru Police Act on Pawan Kalyan Supporters Over 'OG' Screening Chaos

The electrifying anticipation surrounding actor Pawan Kalyan's upcoming film, OG (Original Gangster), reached a fever pitch in Bengaluru, but unfortunately, it took a contentious turn. A special glimpse screening of the movie at the renowned Urvashi Digital 4K Cinema transformed into a scene of uncontrolled fan frenzy, culminating in police action against several enthusiastic supporters.

Eyewitnesses and reports indicate that as the OG teaser played, the atmosphere inside the cinema hall was nothing short of electric.

The excitement, however, escalated beyond acceptable limits when a group of fans, unable to contain their adoration, surged forward, leaping onto the stage. What began as a celebratory act quickly devolved into chaos, with allegations of significant damage to the theatre's screens and other property surfacing.

The management of Urvashi Digital 4K Cinema, faced with the aftermath of the unruly celebration and the subsequent damage, promptly lodged a complaint with the Bengaluru police.

Responding swiftly, the authorities filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the unidentified fans. The charges are grave, including Section 427 of the Indian Penal Code, which addresses mischief causing damage to the tune of fifty rupees or more, and Section 3 of the Karnataka Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act, 1981.

This isn't an isolated incident for the ardent fanbase of 'Power Star' Pawan Kalyan.

His previous cinematic outing, Bro, also witnessed similar bursts of exuberance that led to minor disruptions. While the passion and devotion of fans are a testament to the actor's immense popularity, these recurring episodes raise pertinent questions about responsible fan engagement and the need to respect public property and order.

As the legal proceedings unfold, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the fine line between passionate fandom and destructive behavior.

While the release of OG is still eagerly awaited, the events in Bengaluru cast a shadow, urging both fans and movie distributors to prioritize safety and respect for public spaces during these high-energy promotional events.
