However, there is no clear agreement online about what actually triggered the incident. Some posts claim the audience member created a disturbance during the screening, while others say he was involved in a disagreement with theatre staff. A few unverified accounts also suggest he may have been intoxicated, but none of these claims have been confirmed.
Another video shared online shows a different angle of the confrontation, with claims from a social media user saying the man involved is his friend and that the situation has been misrepresented. These claims also remain unverified.
So far, the theatre has not released any official statement explaining what happened, and no confirmed details have been provided by authorities. The incident continues to circulate mainly through viral clips and conflicting online versions.
The re-release of Darling had drawn attention among Prabhas fans, but the viral videos have now shifted focus to concerns over what exactly unfolded inside the theatre during the screening.
