Snake in movie theatre: Mahesh Babu's ‘Khaleja' re-release triggers backlash; Telugu fans demand uncut version
The re-release of Mahesh Babu 's 2010 cult classic Khaleja in 4K, directed by Trivikram Srinivas, was expected to be a nostalgic celebration for fans across the Telugu states. With Anushka Shetty, Prakash Raj, and Brahmanandam among the film's cast, and music composed by Mani Sharma, the film's theatrical return on May 30 drew large crowds hoping to relive iconic moments on the big screen. However, the joy was short-lived, as screenings were marred by confusion, technical glitches, and unruly scenes at multiple theatres. Outrage Over Deleted Content Almost immediately after the screenings began, disappointed fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their frustration. Many reported that key portions of the film, including popular songs and notable dialogues, were absent. One user wrote, 'What's this? They cut 30 minutes of scenes and messed it up, now there's complete chaos outside.' Another added, 'Sunday Monday song ledu. Nalo naku devudu kanipisthunnadu scene ledu. Evadu kodite dhimma thirigi dialogue ledu... what are we supposed to do with this re-release?' The missing scenes weren't isolated incidents. Across several venues, fans were seen halting screenings and demanding explanations from theatre staff. In a video circulating online, one viewer can be heard stating, 'Songs, scenes, and dialogues are missing from the film. What are we supposed to do with this re-release? That's why fans are creating a ruckus.' — mbkdhfm (@mbkdhfm) Fan Enters Theatre With Snake, Chaos in Vijayawada In a shocking turn, a theatre in Vijayawada witnessed an even more dramatic incident.
