Hyderabad: Telugu actor Rajasekhar received minor injuries on Monday when his car was attacked allegedly by Chiranjeevi’s fans.
The fans were angry over Rajasekhar remarks at Bhimavaram on Sunday that Chiranjeevi lacked political experience and that he would not join the political party if the superstar floats one. The fans demanded an apology from Rajasekhar for his comments.
The attack took place at Panjagutta when Rajasekhar was returning home from Bhimavaram in West Godavari district.
The actor, his wife Jeevita and their two teenaged daughters received minor injuries and the windowpane of the car was smashed in the assault. The family was rushed to a super-speciality hospital soon after the incident.
Talking to reporters, the actor said he had the freedom to air his views.
"Is this democracy? Is it wrong to say that Chiranjeevi has no political experience? Can't I express my opinion in a democracy?" asked Rajasekhar, as he spoke to reporters after the incident.
"Mr. Chiranjeevi. Is this what you wanted? This is not leadership. If you want to become a leader come in the public. You can't become a leader through violence," he added.
Rajasekhar is likely to file a police complaint over the attack.
