Hyderabad (PTI): Telugu actor Rajasekhar received minor injuries when his car was on Monday attacked by fans of Chiranjeevi for his alleged comments against the superstar.

The attack took place at Panjagutta in the heart of the city in the wee hours when the actor, along with his family, was returning home from Bhimavaram in West Godavari district.

His daughter Shivani too received minor injuries while his wife escaped unhurt as the attackers chased the car and pelted stones.

The fans were incensed over Rajasekhar's remarks at Bhimavaram on Sunday that Chiranjeevi lacked political experience and that he would not join the political party if the superstar floats one.

The fans demanded apology from Rajasekhar for his comments.

As reports of protests by superstar's supporters poured in from across Andhra Pradesh, Chiranjeevi, in a touching gesture, drove to the fellow actor's house, consoled the couple and apologised for the incident.

"I strongly condemn this attack. I sincerely apologise to you for this," he told the actor in the presence of the media.

They both posed for photographs and appealed to the fans not to indulge in violence.

"In democracy, every one has a right to express his views. There is nothing wrong in what Rajasekhar has said. I strongly disapprove of the way my fans have reacted. This is very unfortunate," Chiranjeevi said.
