Allu Arjun was recently called out by the Telangana government. CM Revanth and MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi alleged that the actor said ‘the film will be a hit’ when he was informed about the death of a fan, while Revanth claimed the police informed him of her death when he was in the theatre. However, the Pushpa 2 actor claimed that he got to know about the incident on December 4, a day after the premiere.

Why did the Pushpa 2 controversy start?

When Allu Arjun visited the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule on December 4 at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, he left the venue in the middle saying his management informed him the crowd was getting out of control. The venue was filled with a lot of fans and it resulted in a stampede-like situation resulting in the death of a woman and the hospitalisation of her young son in a critical state.
