Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan on Monday justified the arrest of Pushpa-2 actor Allu Arjun. However, he also said that Allu Arjun is not completely responsible for the death of a woman in a stampede during the premiere of the film on December 4. He was talking to reporters in Mangalagiri. Actually, there were reports of tension between Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun in the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections this year. Before the elections, Allu had gone to Nandyal seat in support of YSR Congress Party MLA Silpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy. Pawan Kalyan contested and won the election from this seat and became the Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh. After this, there was news of sourness in the relationship between Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun, which both later denied. Allu Arjun was arrested in this case on December 13. He was released at night after getting interim bail from the Telangana High Court. The hearing for regular bail was to be held on Monday, but the Nampally Court of Hyderabad postponed the hearing till January 3 on Monday. 4 big points of Pawan Kalyan’s press conference Pawan is Allu Arjun’s uncle
Pawan Kalyan’s elder brother and South cinema star Chiranjeevi’s wife Surekha Kodinala is Allu Arjun’s aunt. Allu Arjun’s grandfather Allu Ramalingaiah was also a Telugu actor. He has four children. Allu Arvind, Surekha Kodinala, Nava Bharati and Basant Lakshmi. Allu Arjun is the son of producer Allu Arvind. Pawan is an NDA member, praised Telangana’s Congress CM
Pawan Kalyan is a part of the BJP-led NDA. BJP had called Allu Arjun’s arrest wrong. BJP leaders had alleged that Allu Arjun had refused to campaign for Congress, so he was being dragged into the stampede controversy. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had said in the Assembly – Allu Arjun was careless and despite getting information about the death, did not come out of the theater and did a road show. Responding to Reddy, BJP MP Anurag Thakur had said that Congress should not do politics on such issues. Telugu films have given Indian cinema recognition worldwide, but some people want to bring them down to earth. Thakur said that recently actor Allu Arjun was awarded the National Award and actor Chiranjeevi was given the Life Time Achievement Award, but instead of supporting the industry, Congress is creating controversy. Amidst all this, Pawan Kalyan praised Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He said- Revanth has taken a good decision as a CM. It would be wrong to say that he is taking revenge from the actor. Actually, Allu Arjun and CM Reddy were together in an event. Allu Arjun forgot to take the name of the CM in his speech. Allu Arjun’s house was vandalized, 8 accused were arrested
Some people from Osmania University, Hyderabad, vandalized Allu Arjun’s house on 22 December. 8 accused were arrested in this case. Out of these, 6 people were granted bail on 23 December. Claim- The vandals were close to Telangana CM
Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leader Krishank claimed that one of the six accused who got bail in the case of attack on Allu Arjun’s house was an associate of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Krishank had posted pictures of the accused, in one of which he was seen posing with the Chief Minister. It was said that Reddy Srinivas, who attacked Allu Arjun’s residence, is not a student leader of Osmania University. He is close to Revanth and is a candidate of Kodangal Congress in the 2019 ZPTC elections. Press conference was held after release
After his release, Allu Arjun held a press conference and said, ‘It was all an accident. I had gone to watch a movie in a cinema hall with my family. This incident happened outside. This incident has no direct connection with me. I am absolutely with the woman’s family, I will help them in whatever way possible.’ Allu Arjun further said, ‘I have been to that cinema hall more than 30 times in the last 20 years, but this had never happened before. This has happened very unfortunately. I feel very sorry for this incident.’ Pushpa-2 team gave ? 2 crores to the victim’s family
The Pushpa film team has helped the family of the woman who lost her life in the stampede during the screening of Pushpa-2 in Hyderabad with Rs 2 crores. Allu Arjun’s father Allu Arvind gave the information. He told that Allu Arjun gave Rs 1 crore, while Pushpa’s director Sukumar and Maitreyi Production House gave Rs 50 lakhs each.
