But neither star could finish their special task. The reason? The moment Vijay Deverakonda appeared on the podium in the middle of the mall, the audience went into a daze. A mall source spoke to ETimes and revealed: “The moment Vijay took the stage, there were sounds of fainting everywhere. The organizers and volunteers were shocked to see some female fans pass out and some other girls started screaming. many fans had posters and sketches of Vijay and then the chants of ‘Vijay we love you’ started.”
So far so good, but the frenzy quickly escalated into a full-blown stampede-like situation as fan leagues pushed the barricades to get closer to the center stage where Vijay and Ananya stood. Security feared that the situation could get worse, so Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday had to leave halfway through for the safety of everyone present.
The Liger promotional activity was left unfinished as the crowd went crazy.
