'War 2': Did Jr NTR's fan light up a FLAMETHROWER inside theatre? Video of fan-frenzy goes viral- WATCH
The incident in question features a man lighting up a 'flame thrower' inside the theatre. The frenzy began with Jr NTR's much-hyped entry scene where the superstar 'flies' onto the screen via a drone, landing shirtless on a ship and flaunting his chiselled eight-pack abs. As the crowd erupts, he is introduced on-screen as the 'Man of the Masses.' While others in the audience threw confetti, applauded and whistled, one group of fans rushed to the front of the theatre and raised eyebrows with their unruly behaviour.
Viral Video
In the footage, a group of enthusiastic fans is seen dancing near the screen with posters, when one man appears to ignite what looks like a flamethrower. It remains unclear whether he used a lighter and deodorant spray to create the flame effect or if he actually brought a flamethrower to the theatre, but the stunt has raised alarm over the potential risk to fellow moviegoers.
Safety Concerns
Social media reactions have been mixed. While some brushed it off as part of the celebration, many netizens slammed the behaviour, pointing out the fire dangers.
