<p>Balakrishna was a chief guest for Anjali's film <em>Gangs of Godavari.</em> Directed by &nbsp;Krishna Chaitanya, the movie also stars Vishwak Sen and Neha Shetty.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The&nbsp;viral video showed actor Balakrishna walking on stage, which was packed with the team of the movie<em>.</em> As the actor&nbsp;reaches the centre of the stage, he can be seen telling actors Neha Shetty and Anjali to step aside, before he shockingly shoved&nbsp;Anjali, who&nbsp;almost fell.</p>

<p>However, Anjali quickly did damage control of the awkward situation as she started to&nbsp;laugh&nbsp;along with Neha and other people present on the stage.&nbsp;</p>
