The recent re-release of the Telugu film Khaleja led to unexpected drama both on and off the screen, as a fan brought a live snake inside a theatre, creating panic among viewers. The incident took place in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, and was inspired by a memorable scene in the 2010 film starring Mahesh Babu, where the actor is seen walking in the desert accompanied by a snake.

A video that surfaced on social media shows a man dressed in black entering the theatre carrying a live snake. Covering his face with a mask, the fan repeatedly glanced at the snake as he made his way to the front of the hall and even danced in front of the screen. Initially, moviegoers were unaware that the snake was real, but as the truth dawned on them, chaos erupted with screams and frantic attempts to flee the theatre.
