On Sunday, the actor, who has been mired in controversies of late, penned a note requesting his fans to maintain the decorum

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.

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.

The FIR (Crime No. 376/2024) was lodged following a complaint by the de-facto complainant, who accused overcrowding and suffocation caused by the surge of people in the theatre, leading to the death of his wife and injuries to his son. The complainant also claimed that the actor’s arrival at the venue around 9:40 pm worsened the situation, with his security staff allegedly pushing attendees.

Breaks the record for the highest opening in the history of Indian cinema, which earlier belonged to SS Rajamouli's 'RRR'

The film starring Allu Arjun has also set a new record of the highest-ever single-day earnings in Indian cinema, collecting Rs. 294 crores.

The pair recently attended a press event in Mumbai during the promotional campaign of the film where Allu Arjun spoke highly of Rashmika. He went on to say that the 'Pushpa' franchise is incomplete without her character of Srivalli

Allu Arjun addressed a large crowd at the event, entertaining them with his efforts in Hindi. He said, "My salute to the land of Bihar. This is my first time here, and I’m deeply touched by your warm welcome and love. Pushpa never bows down, but today, for the first time, Pushpa bows to your love. I’m truly grateful for the affection you’ve shown us, and 'thank you' doesn’t seem enough. I bow my head in respect to all of you."

On Sunday, the creators of the film shared a poster for the song on Instagram, captioning it, “Team #Pushpa2TheRule welcomes The Dancing Queen @sreeleela14 on board for the #Kissik Song of the Year. Get ready for a dance feast and musical delight. GRAND RELEASE WORLDWIDE ON DECEMBER 5, 2024. #Pushpa2TheRuleOnDec5th.”
