Upset over the goof up, the Telugu actor's fans had threatened Wikipedia of agitation in case of delay.

Wikipedia and Google searches have often gone viral for showing wrong historical facts. A Google's search showing Narendra Modi's picture when searched for first prime minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru and image of a Hollywood actor appearing when searched for Telugu actor Mahesh Babu on Google are a few to name.

Wikipedia was quick to respond and removed the Nandamuri Balakrishna's death date from its page on the actor.
