Bhubaneswar: The highly-anticipated Prabhas starrer ‘The Raja Saab’ opened to mixed reviews as it hit theatres across the country on Friday.
However, the screening of the horror-comedy in Odisha’s Ashok theatre led to widespread backlash as fans burnt confetti inside the cinema hall, raising safety concerns.
After a video clip of the incident went viral on social media, netizens took to the comments section to call out the immature behaviour of the miscreants.
While some users expressed concern over the lack of decorum during the screening, others called out the miscreants for disrespecting the cinematic experience with actions that could endanger lives.
“This is the maturity of Prabhas fans. I’m not talking about Darling, I’m talking about the fans. This is not what you guys should have done. Please behave like mature adults. This is not your house; it’s very bad. You guys are shaming Prabhas’ name with this kind of behaviour,” expressed one user.
Another commented, “It seems they have not been given intelligence at birth. Otherwise, will anyone destroy the theatre they have made with hard work?”
One netizen pointed out, “If Prabhas’ true fans were die-hard supporters, they would never have done this.”
Another comment wrote, “Mental asylum psycho ward! Ban all this shit! It’s dangerous in theatres and can jeopardise lives, too.”
