Several viral videos on social media showcase how his arrival attracted a massive crowd of audience who were eager to catch a glimpse of the star.
Chaos inside the hospital

Lathi charge
The surging crowd forced authorities to shut off access to that area, and police present at the venue reportedly carried out a mild lathi charge to restore control. As per reports, Jr NTR was somehow safely escorted into the building for the inauguration programme to proceed.
Fans reactions
Several videos of the incident went viral, and netizens raised concerns about safety at public events. Many also questioned the event’s planning and crowd management, as hospitals are sensitive spaces. One user wrote on X, "This is the reason NTR always avoid public events - but i don't know why he came to open Hospital." Another said, "Why do such incidents mostly happen in the South? The level of fan frenzy is worrying. We’ve seen it at Vijay’s event in TN, Allu Arjun in Hyderabad, the RCB rally in Bangalore, and now this." "Zero civic sense. They forgot that they were in the hospital. The white shirt guy is literally placing all his weight on the side support belt of escalator," read the third comment.
Jr NTR’s work front
The actor was last seen in War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani and is expected to return to the big screen with the sequel to Devara 2.
