The incident happened at Shadnagar on Thursday.


"A very shocking moment for me & our producer Danayya garu, when we got looted at knife point by some highway robbers last night at Shadnagar. This incident happened as we are returning from Prakash Raj's birthday party at his farm house last night (sic)," Venkat tweeted on Friday.


"The robbers cut one tree and blocked the road and as we stopped the vehicle, with an axe they broke the driver's window and opened the doors and put a large knife on my throat and demanded to give everything we had. Took everything from us and left," he posted.
