A video of actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru at the Tirumala temple has gone viral, showing the couple surrounded by a large crowd of devotees during their recent visit. The duo was in Tirumala with the team of the upcoming film Maa Inti Bangaaram, ahead of its release, when the unexpected rush of fans created a chaotic but controlled situation outside the shrine.

According to visuals circulating on social media, the couple had just offered prayers at the Lord Venkateswara temple when a large number of devotees gathered to catch a glimpse of them. As the crowd surged forward, Raj was seen instinctively guiding Samantha through the exit path, keeping her close and placing an arm around her while their team worked to manage the crowd and ensure their safe passage.

The brief moment of protection quickly caught the attention of fans online, who shared the clip widely and reacted to the filmmaker’s gesture. Many viewers described the interaction as calm and considerate, noting how the situation was handled without panic despite the heavy crowd presence around the temple premises.
