As the director was walking towards his car, people waved at him from both sides. However, a fan came up to the Baahubali director and tried to take a selfie with him. At first, Rajamouli tried to ignore the stubborn fan. But then the fan came too close to him and tried to take a selfie despite such a situation. The filmmaker got angry at the fan, pushed him, and also reprimanded him for taking a selfie at such a serious time.

As soon as this video was shared on social media while many people supported Rajamouli and said that considering the emotional state after attending the funeral and the sensitivity of the circumstances, it was right to push the fan away. Many also criticized the fan and argued that it was not the right time or place to take a selfie. S.S. Rajamouli had written an emotional note on the demise of veteran Telugu actor Kota Srinivasa Rao on his X handle.
