"Humiliating & Character Assassination"—Allu Arjun on Theater Stampede

Allu Arjun reacts to Hyderabad theatre stampede matter:

Allu Arjun attended the premiere of the film Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad on December 4, 2024. As thousands of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of him, a stampede occurred, resulting in the tragic loss of a woman's life and severe injuries to another child. Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with the incident but was released on bail.

During a recent press conference, the actor addressed the situation and expressed his sorrow over the incident, as well as frustration with trolls and the media. He stated, "There is a lot of misinformation suggesting that I behaved in a particular manner. These claims are false. It’s humiliating and a character assassination. There is a lot of misinformation circulating, a lot of false allegations, particularly regarding character assassination."

He continued, "This is an unfortunate incident, and genuinely speaking, no one is at fault. I truly believe that nobody should be blamed, and I am not here to place blame on any individual, department, or the government. I am actually grateful to the government because they have been very supportive of the film industry. I just want to emphasize that there is a lot of misinformation and false allegations, and I want to clarify that I have not said anything like that. Please don't judge me. I just want to say that I have devoted three years of my life to this film, and it means everything to me. I simply went to see it in the theater. I have visited this theater 20-30 times, and claims that I have been irresponsible while attending the theater are completely untrue."
