A paparazzo account shared the video on Instagram of the slightly terrifying encounter as fans tried to get to Rashmika for a picture. The actor, who had worn a long beige sharara, was exiting the event venue after the song launch. Her security pulled away fans who tried to take a selfie with her. In the video, the actor is surprised by the clamor around her. There is a loud crash of something solid falling as well.

The bodyguards try to prevent anyone else from taking pictures but Rashika stopped after she hears one girl cry out her name. The young woman in a floral dress looks pleased that she stopped for her. Rashmika tells her, “Fast, fast, fast” as they quickly take the photo. Fans commenting on the Instagram post felt Rashmika’s security was too strict. One fan wrote, “Unfair bro this is guys bouncers behaviour.” While another added, “I really don’t understand whats make difference to your life by taking selfie with celebrities.”

The Telugu film Baby stars Anand Deverakonda, Vaishnavi Chaitanya and Viraj Ashwin. It is written and directed by Sai Rajesh. Rashmika was on hand to present and launch the song Premisthunna composed by Vijai Bulganin. Anand is the younger brother of actor Vijay Deverakonda.
