However, Ravi suddenly kissed Mannara on her cheeks and apparently left her completely surprised. Looking at the clip, it appears that Mannara was not expecting this act from him and was left embarrassed by what took place. Netizens noticed that the actress tried to conceal her humiliation with a nervous laugh given there were camerapersons at the spot.

"How embarrassing it would have been for her," a user wrote. 

"Sexual harassment right there. She might be blushing and making all the right moves but internally she would feel cringy," wrote another user. 

"What a creep? Industry must identify budding #MeToo creeps and not let them grow into Vairamuthus. Until you sort your house in order, you are unfit to preach to the public in your films," a third user wrote.

Meanwhile, actress Mannara Chopra is yet to react to the viral video. 

Speaking of the film 'Tiragabadara Saami', the first official teaser of the Telugu film was unveiled by Star producer Dil Raju only recently. The teaser depicts Raj Tharun as an innocent who despises violence. Malvi Malhotra, essaying the role of his beloved, showcases her prowess by performing stunts. Makrand Deshpande is seen as an antagonist while Mannara Chopra contributes significantly to the narrative. The film also features Raghu Babu, John Vijay, Ankita Thakur, Prudhvi, Pragathi, Raja Ravindra, and Bithri Satti in key roles. 

The film, whose music is by JB and Bhole Shavali, will lock its release date soon.
