A video of Telugu megastar-turned-politician Chiranjeevi scolding his fans has gone viral on social media.
Chiranjeevi, popular as Chiru among his millions of admirers, was seen scolding his fans in Telugu and calling them stupid in a 15-second clip.
"Everytime you do this only. How many times do you have to be told? Stupid fellows," Chiranjeevi said in the leaked clip, according to Indian Express.

The video was taken last week at the music launch event of his son Ram Charan Teja's upcoming movie "Bruce Lee: The Fighter." Chiranjeevi has a 15 minute-cameo in the film, which is scheduled to hit theatres on Oct. 16.
The leaked video has upset his fans. "We can't believe that our megastar said such things. There's a way to talk to the fans and we're really unhappy with the way one of us was treated. He should apologise for hurting the sentiment of his fan," a group of Chiranjeevi fans told news channel TV 6, according to The Quint.
Chiranjeevi, 60, has been the face of India's Telugu film industry for the last three decades, NDTV reported. He will start shooting for his 150th movie in coming months with filmmaker Puri Jagannath.
He formed a regional political party Praja Rajyam in Andhra Pradesh in 2008 and merged it with Indian National Congress (INC) in 2011.
