She later posted another video claiming that the theatre played the Hindi version of the film despite selling tickets for the Telugu version. The audience can be seen arguing about which version should be played, as a woman is heard screaming, “But the Telugu version was booked first.” Even as the Instagram user joked that she was having “fun”, the police and theatre management can be seen trying to calm people down.
After the videos gained traction, one Instagram user joked, “Ask them to play the first half in Telugu and the second half in Hindi, simple.” Another joked that she should have booked tickets to Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh instead.
