Tollywood actor Sai Dharam Tej performed a special pooja at Srikalahasti temple, which has now become a subject of controversy. It is being debated whether Sai Dharam Tej, being a hero, should have offered aarti himself to Subrahmanyaswamy. According to the temple's rules, only the priest is allowed to perform the arathi, leading devotees to protest against the temple authorities for granting permission to Sai Dharam Tej. The issue has sparked anger among devotees who claim that Sai Dharam Tej violated the temple's regulations. Despite the controversy, Sai Dharam Tej's temple visit tour, which also included Kadapa Dargah and Kanipakam, garnered a warm welcome from fans, with crowds gathering to catch a glimpse of the actor.
