Keeping up his promise made on Twitter, Tollywood actor Sampoornesh flew down to Vishakapatnam to stand in support of silent protest for Special Status. In fact, he is the first Telugu hero, also first hero from Telangana, to join the people’s protest.
While many young actors like Sai Dharam Tej, Sundeep Kishan, Nithin, Manchu Manoj, Varun Tej and others have voiced out their support on social media, it is only Sampoo stood by his promise to join the protest on Republic day. Along with few others protestors, actor Sampoo walked down the streets of Vizag and few minutes later, he has been taken into police custody and sent to Bhimili station.

All the government actions to diminish the protestors were highly criticized by YSRCP chief Jaganmohan Reddy while Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan taking swipe at state and central government through his twitter posts.
