Telugu Actor NT Ramaswamy attacked by viewer for villainous role in Love Reddy

In an unexpected incident, Telugu actor NT Ramaswamy faced real-life aggression from an audience member who took his onscreen villainous role too seriously. During a promotional visit by the cast of Love Reddy at a Hyderabad theatre, a female viewer confronted Ramaswamy, slapping him for his character’s role in disrupting the lead couple’s romance in the film. The woman reportedly ran towards Ramaswamy as the cast thanked the audience, catching the actor and onlookers off guard.

Love Reddy, directed by Smaran Reddy and released on October 18, is set against the Andhra Pradesh-Karnataka border and follows a couple as they navigate family issues and unexpected twists in their love story. While the film has drawn attention for its story, the incident underscores the sometimes blurred line between reel and real life for audiences. Ramaswamy and the Love Reddy team have yet to release an official statement on the episode.
