A few people were reportedly hurt, according to a popular news portal story. Police have denied the allegations. The celebs started throwing merchandise at the crowd, and that's when the mob got out of control, according to a PR representative who was there.

“Fans made a scramble to catch the items that were thrown towards them, which broke the barricades that were supposed to hold them back,” said Anand Krishna, representative of the PR company that organized the event. “The actors left the show midway much before the scheduled time,” a person involved in the organizing committee said.
