Telugu actor Mahesh Babu's 2010 film Khaleja was re-released in theatres on Friday, May 30. A video going viral shows a fan entering a theatre in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, with a snake to recreate a scene from the film where Mahesh Babu's character walks in a desert holding a fake snake and throws it at an enemy.
Initially, the audience assumed the snake was fake, but chaos erupted when it started moving. The viral video circulating on social media shows the fan holding the snake and dancing with it, his face covered with a white cloth, just like Mahesh Babu's character in Khaleja.
