South Indian superstar Samantha Ruth Prabhu was mobbed by an uncontrollable crowd during a public event in Hyderabad, sparking fresh concerns over celebrity safety and crowd management. The incident comes just days after actress Nidhhi Agerwal faced a similar situation at the song launch of her upcoming film The Raja Saab.

A video from the event has gone viral on social media, showing Samantha struggling to make her way from her vehicle to the stage amid a dense crowd of fans. Despite being accompanied by a security team, the actress appeared visibly uncomfortable as fans surrounded her from all sides, making movement difficult.

Video shows chaotic scenes at Hyderabad event

For the event, Samantha chose an elegant golden-and-black silk saree, paired with minimal makeup and open hair. However, the focus quickly shifted from her appearance to the alarming lack of crowd control. The video clip circulating online captures moments of chaos as security personnel attempted to create a safe passage for the actress.

The incident mirrors what happened recently with Nidhhi Agerwal at Lulu Mall, Hyderabad, where fans breached personal boundaries, raising serious questions about public safety at celebrity appearances.

Internet reacts: ‘Celebrities are not public property’

Social media users were quick to react, expressing disappointment and concern over repeated incidents of crowd mismanagement.
One user on X wrote, “Why do some fans still struggle with boundaries, even after recent incidents? Passion is great, but respect and personal space matter.”
Another Instagram user commented, “We really need to teach basic civic sense.” Others called the behaviour “dangerous” and “irresponsible.”

Many netizens also urged event organisers to improve security arrangements and enforce stricter crowd-control measures, especially at high-profile public gatherings.

Growing concern over celebrity safety

The back-to-back incidents involving Nidhhi Agerwal and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have reignited conversations around celebrity safety, especially at mall launches, promotional events and public appearances. Industry insiders have increasingly pointed out that inadequate barricading, poor coordination with local authorities, and underestimating crowd size often lead to such situations.

Experts suggest that better planning, limited access zones, and stronger enforcement of safety protocols are essential to prevent such incidents in the future.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s personal and professional update

On the personal front, Samantha recently married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru on December 1, 2025, in a private ceremony. Raj Nidimoru is best known as one half of the acclaimed filmmaker duo Raj & DK, creators of The Family Man.

Professionally, Samantha was last seen in Prime Video’s Citadel: Honey Bunny alongside Varun Dhawan. She is currently gearing up for her next major project, Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, another ambitious collaboration with Raj & DK.

9 Years of Baahubali 2: How Baahubali 2: The Conclusion Redefined Indian Cinema

Published

Avni Trivedi

Released on April 28, 2017, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion wasn’t just a film—it was a phenomenon that reshaped the Indian film industry. Directed by S. S. Rajamouli and headlined by Prabhas, the film arrived amid massive anticipation and went on to surpass even the wildest expectations.

A Cultural Moment, Not Just a Sequel

The film picked up from the cliffhanger of Baahubali: The Beginning, answering the iconic question: “Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?” This curiosity alone drove unprecedented pre-release hype, turning the film into a nationwide event.

With grand storytelling, stunning visuals, and emotionally charged performances by actors like Rana Daggubati and Anushka Shetty, the film connected across languages and regions like never before.

Record-Breaking Box Office Run

Unprecedented Global Collections

Baahubali 2 set new financial benchmarks by earning approximately ₹1,788 crore worldwide, including:

₹1,429 crore gross in India
₹359 crore overseas

Its India net collection crossed ₹1,000 crore, a historic first for Indian cinema at the time. Made on a reported budget of around ₹250 crore, it became one of the most profitable films ever produced in India.

Historic Milestones

The film didn’t just break records—it created new ones:

First Indian film to cross ₹1,000 crore globally
Fastest film (at the time) to hit ₹100 crore, ₹500 crore, and ₹1,000 crore milestones
Became the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, later surpassed by Dangal

The Hindi Dub That Changed the Game

One of the film’s most groundbreaking achievements was its Hindi dubbed version. Traditionally, dubbed South Indian films had limited reach in North India. However, Baahubali 2 shattered that perception.

Hindi version net collection: ~₹511 crore
Competed directly with top Bollywood blockbusters
Opened doors for the Pan-India release model

This success laid the foundation for later films like KGF: Chapter 1, Pushpa: The Rise, and RRR to target nationwide audiences.

A Pan-India Revolution

Baahubali 2 proved that language is no longer a barrier in Indian cinema. Released in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam, it unified audiences across regions.

It also:

Ran for 50+ days in multiple centres
Expanded the scale of theatrical releases
Encouraged big-budget storytelling with global appeal

Legacy: A Turning Point in Indian Cinema

Nine years later, the impact of Baahubali 2 is still visible. It:

Established Prabhas as a pan-India superstar
Cemented S. S. Rajamouli as one of the most influential filmmakers globally
Inspired filmmakers to think beyond regional boundaries

Ranveer Singh and director Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues its phenomenal run at the box office, edging closer to rewriting history.

As of Day 39, the film has reportedly collected:

India Net: ₹1,130.59 crore
Worldwide Gross: ₹1,777.52 crore

This puts it just ₹11 crore short of surpassing the legendary Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (₹1,788.06 crore worldwide), one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.

📈 Strong Sixth Weekend Holds Momentum

Even in its sixth week, Dhurandhar 2 is showing remarkable stability:

Friday: ₹1.55 crore
Saturday: ₹3 crore
Sunday: ₹3.25 crore
Weekend Total: ~₹7.95 crore

These numbers highlight sustained audience interest, a rare feat for films deep into their theatrical run.

🏆 Historic Milestone Within Reach

If the current trend continues:

The film could surpass Baahubali 2’s worldwide record within days
It may cross the ₹1,800 crore global mark shortly after
It is already among the top-grossing Indian films globally

The coming weekdays will be crucial—especially if collections stay above ₹1 crore per day.

📊 Day 39 Performance: Among the Best

With its Day 39 collection, Dhurandhar 2 has:

Achieved one of the highest late-run collections in Hindi cinema
Reportedly ranked second-highest Day 39 performer, behind Stree 2
Outperformed films like:
- Jawan
- Pushpa: The Rule – Part 2 in similar stages

🎟️ Occupancy and Audience Response

Despite reduced screens in some regions, the film continues to attract viewers:

Strong occupancy in afternoon and evening shows
Consistent footfall across multiplexes and mass circuits
Positive word-of-mouth sustaining long-term performance

🎬 What’s Driving the Success?

Several factors are contributing to the film’s blockbuster run:

Ranveer Singh’s high-energy performance
Aditya Dhar’s mass-appeal direction
Strong sequel hype and franchise value
Wide pan-India and global appeal

⚠️ Final Verdict: Can It Dethrone Baahubali 2?

While Dhurandhar 2 hasn’t officially crossed Baahubali 2: The Conclusion yet, it is on the brink of doing so.

Needs roughly ₹11 crore more globally
Likely to achieve the milestone within the next few days if trends hold

✅ Key Takeaways

Dhurandhar 2 worldwide collection: ₹1,777.52 crore
Just ₹11 crore away from Baahubali 2 record
Strong performance even in week 6
Could soon become one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever
