"allu-arjun"

“I watched Pushpa 2 and during those three hours, many other better things could have been done," said Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy targeting movie's lead actor Allu Arjun

Allu Arjun said it was an unfortunate accident and that nobody was at fault. He expressed his deep regret over the loss of life but stressed that he never intended to harm anyone

The announcement was made by Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy in the Assembly on Saturday. The Minister said the State government would not permit any benefit shows and special privileges like ticket hikes anymore.

Speaking at the Legislative Assembly on Saturday, CM Revanth said that despite police permission being denied, the top actor attended the theatre where ‘Pushpa-2’ was screened on December 4, Telangana

Despite a woman’s death in a stampede, the actor reportedly stayed in the cinema hall, leading the police to forcibly remove him, the Chief Minister alleged. In response to AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi’s comments in the Assembly, Reddy, referencing circulating videos, criticized Allu Arjun for holding a roadshow and waving at the crowd despite the overwhelming number of people.

Taking to X, formerly called Twitter, Varma wrote: “Every STAR should STRONGLY protest against @alluarjun ‘s ARREST because for any celebrity whether it’s a FILM STAR or a POLITICAL STAR , is it a crime for them to be ENORMOUSLY POPULAR???”

Taking to Instagram, the ‘Pushpa’ actress shared her stunning photos, accompanied by a note highlighting the effort and determination it takes to achieve perfection.

Earlier, the police had in the court argued and stated that they had asked the management to ask the actor not to attend the show. Now the letter was made public bringing a new twist in the story.

The doctors stated in the bulletin that Sritej's vital parameters are stable, and he is tolerating feeds well. However, he continues to experience intermittent fever spikes, with an altered sensorium and frequent dystonic movements. His neurological status is being closely monitored.

The Congress government does not hold any grudge against Allu Arjun. A case was filed against the actor in connection with the death of a woman in a stampede at a theatre and the police had initiated action accordingly, said TPCC president

The incident took place while the actor was in prison, having been sent to 14-day judicial custody by a local court. Although the High Court had granted interim bail, he remained in prison overnight as the necessary bail formalities were not yet completed.

Stating that he is “absolutely fine”, the actor urged his fans not to worry.

Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the mishap at Sandhya Theatre was a clear case of poor arrangements by the state and local administration.

As per available information, the prison authorities have told the actor’s legal team that they have not yet received the necessary bail documents from the court. Thus, delaying his release and also the bail documents which were initially submitted by the lawyers were not put in the correct format.

According to his own admission, Revanth Reddy directed the police to arrest a senior most official of the L&T, that operates the Hyderabad Metro Rail, after the latter went on record stating that the Congress government's decision to provide free travel for women in RTC buses in Telangana had impacted the occupancy of the Metro Rail leading to losses to the company.

Revanth Reddy sought to project a tough image of himself by maintaining that the constitution was the same for all people, arguing that the actor had not won any war for India but made money through movies.

The DCP said the Allu Arjun's team was intimated to take him back citing large public gathering but they did not act and the actor was there inside the theatre for more than two hours

Justice Sridevi granted the interim bail to Allu Arjun and also granted interim bail to two others of the Sandhya theatre management. 

In response to the actor’s arrest, Revathi's husband, M Bhaskar, publicly stated that he was willing to withdraw the case. "I am ready to withdraw the case. My son wanted to watch the film, so we went there. Allu Arjun has nothing to do with the stampede that caused my wife’s death," he told the media.

In the event of one person losing life in the stampede at a theatre in the city, police was initiating action as per rules. Things were being handled as per law, CM Revanth Reddy stressed
