In response, Allu Arjun stated on Sunday, urging his fans to maintain restraint. He said, “I appeal to all my fans to express their feelings responsibly, as always, and not resort to any kind of abusive language or behaviour both online and offline. Misrepresentation as my fans with fake IDs and fake profiles—if someone indulges in abusive posts, strong action will be taken against them. I request the fans to not engage with such posts.”
Fans have come out in support of Allu Arjun and slammed a section of people for targeting the Pushpa 2 actor.
The hashtag #StopCheapPoliticsOnALLUARJUN trends on social media. Fans want the government to take serious action against the goons who attacked Allu Arjun’s house.
In the Telangana assembly, Revanth and Akbaruddin accused Arjun of continuing to watch the movie despite being informed about the death of a fan and the hospitalisation of a young boy.
Akbaruddin alleged, “According to the information I have received, the star who went to the theatre to watch the film was informed about the issue when it happened. Even the police told him that there was a stampede two children had fallen, and one woman was dead. The film star turned to them, smiled, and said, now the film will be a hit.”
What did Allu Arjun say during a press conference?
Allu Arjun at a press conference: “I am not here to blame anybody or any political party. The main reason for the press meet is there is a lot of misinformation, false allegations and miscommunication about things I’ve allegedly said. I feel humiliated, and this is character assassination.”
