Hyderabad: Heavy security has been deployed around Shilpakala Vedika in Madhapur for the show of stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui following threats from BJP MLA T Raja Singh to burn down the venue and beat the comedian.
Munawar has been making headlines ever since he announced his stand-up show ‘Dongri to Nowhere’ in Hyderabad. With threats from the BJP and the postponement of his Bengaluru show due to health issues, the comedian’s fans were concerned if he would perform in the city.
However, according to the reports, the Lock-Upp winner has now confirmed that he will be performing in Hyderabad at Shilpakala Vedika on Saturday. The show is scheduled at 5 pm.
