Telugu actor Sampoornesh Babu and director Steven Sankar, who are
basking in success of their first film Hrudaya Kaleyam, were attacked by
a group of youth belonging to high profile political and businessman
families of Hyderabad. The actor and director were partying at a hotel
in Banjara Hills on Saturday night, when the youngsters assaulted them
verbally and physically.
According to reports, those youngsters were upset with Steven Sankar for
casting awkward looking Sampoornesh Babu for the lead role and making
spoofs of popular Telugu heroes. The guys, who were heavily drunk,
reportedly cornered the director and got into verbal fight with him.
When Steven went to defend his stand, they got irked and attacked him
with bottles and plates.
The director reportedly sustained severe injuries soaking in blood
all over. Meanwhile, Sampoornesh Babu intervened and tried to defend
Steven Shankar, but he also got thrashed by them. The hotel management
immediately called the Madhapur police, who ran to the spot and brought
peace between both the parties.
It is said that the police did not want to create fuss over the fight as
it might create problem for them in the election season. So they
settled the dispute without making it public. Reports suggest that they
have not registered a case on this issue. However, an official comment
on the fight is yet to come from both the actor-director duo and the
police. . Stay locked to this space to read more updates on this issue.
