Snake in movie theatre: Mahesh Babu's ‘Khaleja' re-release triggers backlash; Telugu fans demand uncut version
The re-release of Mahesh Babu 's 2010 cult classic Khaleja in 4K, directed by Trivikram Srinivas, was expected to be a nostalgic celebration for fans across the Telugu states. With Anushka Shetty, Prakash Raj, and Brahmanandam among the film's cast, and music composed by Mani Sharma, the film's theatrical return on May 30 drew large crowds hoping to relive iconic moments on the big screen. However, the joy was short-lived, as screenings were marred by confusion, technical glitches, and unruly scenes at multiple theatres. Outrage Over Deleted Content Almost immediately after the screenings began, disappointed fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their frustration. Many reported that key portions of the film, including popular songs and notable dialogues, were absent. One user wrote, 'What's this? They cut 30 minutes of scenes and messed it up, now there's complete chaos outside.' Another added, 'Sunday Monday song ledu. Nalo naku devudu kanipisthunnadu scene ledu. Evadu kodite dhimma thirigi dialogue ledu... what are we supposed to do with this re-release?' The missing scenes weren't isolated incidents. Across several venues, fans were seen halting screenings and demanding explanations from theatre staff. In a video circulating online, one viewer can be heard stating, 'Songs, scenes, and dialogues are missing from the film. What are we supposed to do with this re-release? That's why fans are creating a ruckus.' — mbkdhfm (@mbkdhfm) Fan Enters Theatre With Snake, Chaos in Vijayawada In a shocking turn, a theatre in Vijayawada witnessed an even more dramatic incident. A fan reportedly brought a live snake into the hall in an attempt to recreate a desert scene from the film where Mahesh Babu walks with a snake. Initial confusion gave way to panic once the snake started moving, sparking fear among the audience. The incident has since gone viral, adding to the growing scrutiny surrounding the event. Theatre Authorities and Producers Respond As backlash intensified, exhibitors attempted to clarify the situation. SV Cinemax issued a statement on X, explaining that the theatres had simply screened the version provided by the film's digital content provider. 'Please be aware that we only play the content provided by the makers. Do not let us down by creating unnecessary issues. Please understand,' the statement read. The production team behind Khaleja soon responded, attempting to quell the controversy. A message shared via the film's official X account assured fans that the matter had been resolved: 'EVERYTHING SORTED. Enjoy Khaleja 4K to the fullest in theatres near you.' This update confirmed that the previously missing scenes had been reinstated in all subsequent screenings. While the situation spiraled both online and in theatres, Mahesh Babu has so far remained silent. Despite the actor's absence from the conversation, the ordeal highlights the strong emotional investment his fans have in his work. For many, a re-release isn't merely about nostalgia; it is about preserving the film's integrity. As screenings continue across the Telugu states, the controversy has somewhat settled, with the restored version now playing without incident.
