Controversy Surrounding Allu Arjun’s Arrest
Amid the film’s success, Allu Arjun faced legal troubles following a tragic incident during the film’s premiere at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad. The overcrowded event resulted in a stampede, leading to the death of one fan and leaving her son critically injured. Authorities accused Arjun of failing to inform the police in advance, leading to his arrest. However, a leaked letter revealed that the theater management had indeed requested police assistance prior to the event.
The Telangana High Court granted Arjun interim bail, and many celebrities, including Varun Dhawan, Nani, and Rashmika Mandanna, expressed their support for the actor. Despite the controversy, the film continues to draw large audiences, showcasing its widespread appeal.
Pushpa 2: The Rule has captured the hearts of fans with its engaging storyline and powerful performances, becoming a landmark in Indian cinema. While the controversy surrounding the premiere cast a shadow, it hasn’t diminished the film’s box office triumph. All eyes are now on its upcoming collections as it aims to break further records.
