An FIR was filed against Nandamuri Balakrishna’s fans earlier this year when they sacrificed a goat outside a theatre during the release of Daaku Maharaaj.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Actor-politician Nandamuri Balakrishna <\/a>made a sincere request to his fans at the pre-release event of Akhanda 2 in Hyderabad. After an FIR was filed against five of his fans during the release of Daaku Maharaaj earlier this year for beheading a goat, he urged them not to take part in ritualistic animal sacrifice. Here\u2019s what he said.<\/p>\n

\"Nandamuri Nandamuri Balakrishna requested his fans to to take part in animal sacrifice during Akhanda 2 release. Balakrishna urges his fans not to kill animals<\/p>\n

Balakrishna took to the stage to address his fans at the pre-release event of Akhanda 2<\/a>. Before rounding up his speech, he had one request for them \u2013 not to kill animals outside theatres when they come to watch his next film. He said, \u201cI must tell you something. Every region has its tradition, with some of you beheading goats during movie releases. Please don\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tollywood actor added, \u201cIt is not okay to harm another living being. Understand that they also have a right to live. We must treat four-legged animals with as much respect as two-legged humans. I hope you will heed my request.\u201d <\/p>\n

Reacting to his speech, one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, \u201cNice message. No point killing innocent animals. Anyone with a pet would know the pain.\u201d Another wrote, \u201cManchi maata. Pichi nayallu theatres daggara road la meedha champutharu. (Good message, mad fans kill animals outside theatres otherwise).\u201d<\/p>\n

When 5 Balakrishna fans were booked for animal cruelty<\/p>\n

After a disturbing video of Balakrishna\u2019s fans beheading a goat and smearing its blood on the posters of Daaku Maharaaj went viral, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) India filed a complaint<\/a>. Based on this, the Tirupati police registered an FIR (First Information Report) against a group of fans who sacrificed a goat at a theatre in Tirupati. An FIR was registered against five persons.<\/p>\n

That is not the first time Nandamuri family fans have behaved in this manner. During the release of Balakrishna\u2019s nephew Jr NTR\u2019s film Devara<\/a>: Part 1 in September last year, a similar video went viral on social media.<\/p>\n
