A cinema hall in London was forced to halt a film screening midway on July 24 due to disruptive behaviour from audience members. The incident was caught on camera and the footage has since gone viral on social media. In the video, shared on X, two staff members from the theatre can be seen confronting a group of patrons after they were reportedly causing a disturbance.
According to the video circulating online, the disruption occurred during a screening of the Telugu film Hari Hara Veera Mallustarring Pawan Kalyan, at a Cineworld cinema. The film was paused after some individuals in the audience were seen creating a mess during the show. The movie officially premiered on Thursday, July 24, with paid previews available a day earlier.
One user on social media alleged that fans of the Telugu star were throwing confetti and causing a general disturbance. “The staff rightly stopped the film and called them out. This kind of hooliganism is unacceptable and deserves strong condemnation,” the caption read.
The video also showed members of the audience engaging in a verbal exchange with the cinema staff. Some argued that there were no official notices or posters stating that such behaviour was prohibited. One attendee even raised a complaint about the sound system.

Following the viral video, several social media users voiced their disappointment over the incident, supporting the cinema staff’s actions in confronting those responsible. A number of commenters criticised the behaviour of the audience, with some calling for better civic awareness among certain cinemagoers.
“Sad but Indian really need some decorum classes for living in the UK.. just pathetic behaviour all over,” one user commented. Another wrote, “At least they could have said sorry…. That would have been more graceful than trying to argue it out.”
This is not the first time such an event has disrupted a screening in London. In April 2024, a showing of Tamil actor Vijay’s film Ghilli was also paused due to chaos in the theatre. The film, which had been re-released after 20 years, faced a similar disruption when the audience became unruly.
