found himself in an uncomfortable spotlight during a recent 'RRR' event held at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

As the video capturing the moment circulated widely on social media, Jr NTR was seen visibly irritated while moving through a crowded hallway. Eager fans surrounded him, creating a chaotic environment. The actor, attempting to restore order, reportedly told the crowd, 'I'll give you a selfie, but you need to wait. If you behave like this, security will kick you out.' His stern tone caught the attention of many, given his otherwise calm demeanor in public.
Security Steps In
The situation quickly escalated as fans failed to back off. Security personnel intervened and escorted Jr NTR away from the crowd. Online reactions were divided; while some viewers felt he had overreacted, others defended the actor, citing the need for crowd control and personal space.
Supporters later took to social media to clarify the situation. One fan emphasized that Jr NTR wasn't angry but was trying to protect everyone involved. They claimed he was only trying to avoid a stampede or disorder. 'I don't know if you understood what he was trying to say but here is the short version of it, 'I'll give you the picture, don't hurry or create a mob/congestion here or else they (security) will push you away,'' a fan wrote.

Celebrating 'RRR' with Fans and Tributes
Despite the incident, the overall mood at the Royal Albert Hall remained celebratory. The live concert, featuring a performance by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, drew widespread applause from fans, especially during the screening of the Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu. Jr NTR shared the stage with Rajamouli and Ram Charan and paid homage to legendary dancers in their families.
He explained that the choreography was a tribute to his uncle Balakrishna and Ram Charan's father, Chiranjeevi. 'You know his father was known to be one of the greatest dancers, my uncle was also known to be a very good dancer. So I think this song will be a memory of what if his father and my uncle danced, and this is an ode to fabulous great dancers Chiranjeevi Garu and Balakrishnan Babai,' Jr NTR shared.
Several attendees also shared heartwarming interactions with the actor. One emotional fan posted a series of pictures from their meeting, writing about how Jr NTR spoke to them for ten minutes, hugged them, and offered words of encouragement. The post described the interaction as life-changing, highlighting the strong connection Jr NTR shares with his admirers.
