He shared throwback pictures from his temple visits and emphasized that his complaint was about civic sense, not devotion. The actor's concern arose after loud music from a DJ setup was played at the Vinoba Nagar Hanuman temple, near his residence in Shaikpet, from late night until 2 or 3 am for several days.
