A
slipper
was
hurled
at
Challenging
star
Darshan
on
Sunday
during
the
promotions
of
his
upcoming
film,
Kranti.
The
actor
was
in
Hospet
for
the
song
launch
of
his
movie
when
the
incident
took
place.
A
video
capturing
the
moment
has
now
become
viral
and
it
shows
cops
circling
around
Darshan
when
the
slipper
hit
his
shoulder.
However,
Darshan
chose
not
to
make
a
big
deal
about
it
and
immediately
left
the
scene
under
police
protection.
It
must
be
noted
that
the
actor
recently
landed
in
trouble
after
he
made
a
sexist
remark.
Darshan
had
said
in
an
interview,
"Goddess
of
Luck
doesn't
knock
on
the
door
always.
When
she
knocks,
grab
her,
drag
her
into
your
bedroom
and
strip
her
naked.
If
you
give
her
clothes,
she
will
go
out.”
As
a
result,
he
has
been
receiving
a
lot
of
backlash
on
social
media
as
the
comment
was
termed
misogynistic
towards
women.
Meanwhile,
Darshan
is
also
facing
the
heat
from
Puneeth
Rajkumar’s
fans
as
he
ended
up
comparing
his
fandom
with
that
of
the
late
actor.
For
the
unversed,
there
were
chants
of
“Appu,
Appu”
when
the
Kranti
team
was
on
the
stage.
Take
a
look!
After
the
incident,
friends
and
fans
of
Darshan
have
been
standing
up
for
the
actor
by
posting
#WeStandWithDarshan
on
Twitter.
In
the
meantime,
no
details
have
been
shared
by
the
authorities
regarding
the
accused,
who
threw
the
slipper
at
the
actor.
On
the
professional
front,
Darshan
is
gearing
up
for
his
55th
outing
at
the
box
office.
Touted
to
be
an
out-and-out
action
entertainer,
Kranti
is
all
set
for
a
grand
release
on
January
26.
The
highly
awaited
movie
will
be
out
in
5
languages-
Kannada,
Hindi,
Tamil,
Telugu,
and
Malayalam.
