Actress Nidhhi Agerwal faced a chaotic mobbing by fans during the launch of a song from her upcoming film The Raja Saab at Hyderabad's Lulu Mall. A viral video shows her struggling to reach her car while clutching her dupatta amid the crowd. Netizens expressed outrage over the lack of security and called the incident distressing.
On Wednesday night, Nidhhi Agerwal, who stars alongside Prabhas in the upcoming Telugu horror-comedy The Raja Saab, was mobbed by enthusiastic fans at the launch event for the song 'Sahana Sahana' held at Hyderabad's Lulu Mall. The event, attended by director Maruthi, drew a massive crowd eager for selfies with the actress, leading to chaos as fans breached security barriers.
A video circulating online captures Agerwal's distress as she pushes through the throng, holding tightly to her dupatta while her bodyguards jostle the crowd to clear a path to her car. Once inside the vehicle, she is seen adjusting her clothes and appearing visibly shaken and upset by the ordeal. The incident has sparked widespread concern about celebrity safety at public events.
Social media reactions highlight the fans' unruly behavior. One user commented, 'This is so sad, why isn’t she given proper security? Also, there was a high chance of wardrobe malfunction. Such uncivilised fans.' Another labeled it 'Disgusting,' while a third wrote, 'This so scary! She looks horrified. Are the producers and Prabhas dumb?? When it’s a huge event, the security should be tight.'
The Raja Saab marks Prabhas in a fresh horror-comedy role, directed by Maruthi, known for films like Ee Rojullo and Babu Bangaram. The cast includes Malavika Mohanan, Sanjay Dutt, and Boman Irani. The trailer, unveiled in September, teases Prabhas's character's tumultuous journey. The film is set for worldwide release on January 9, 2026, during the Pongal season.
