The confrontation quickly devolved into a physical brawl, with both actors abandoning their weapons and grappling on stage. Ravan pushed Ram hard, nearly knocking him off the stage, sparking a chaotic scene. The actors began striking each other, much to the audience’s shock, as organisers rushed to intervene.

The situation became so heated that the actor playing Ram removed his wig and retreated to a corner of the stage. Organisers managed to separate the two, and the performance was stopped entirely.

A video of the incident quickly went viral on social media, with one user commenting, "It’s an absurd situation, they lost patience while playing the role."

The fight caused a commotion, forcing the organisers to halt the performance, leaving spectators stunned by the unplanned altercation.
