When the Adipurush director was seen kissing Kriti Sanon goodbye outside the temple grounds on June 7, a new scandal erupted. The chief priest of the Chilkur Balaji Temple in Telangana denounced the incident and suggested that they both book a hotel room.

The director of "Adipurush" is said to have kissed actress Kriti Sanon on June 7 at the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirupati, which Telangana's Chilkur Balaji Temple's head priest deemed "condemnable" and objected to.

"This is morally repugnant conduct. Even a married couple does not visit the temple together. You can carry out the task in a hotel room. The top priest stated, "Your actions resemble disrespecting the Ramayana and Goddess Sita.

Outside the temple grounds, the filmmaker was spotted kissing Kriti Sanon goodbye.

Multiple recordings of the deed were posted on social media, causing a stir. Ramesh Naidu, the state secretary for the BJP, tweeted his disapproval of the sight but afterward deleted it.

On Wednesday, Kriti Sanon and filmmaker Om Raut were seen entering the Lord Venkateswara shrine in Tirupati.

The filmmaker is seen kissing Kriti on the cheek in a now-viral video as he bids her farewell. Some online users weren't happy about this.

Ramesh Naidu Nagothu, the state secretary for the BJP, took issue with the public display of affection and questioned whether it was necessary.
