Although Allu Arjun has yet to comment on the incident, his father, noted producer Allu Aravind, addressed the media the same evening. He strongly criticized the attack on their home, emphasizing that such incidents should not be encouraged.
Allu Aravind stated that everyone had witnessed the events that unfolded at their residence and stressed the importance of handling the situation thoughtfully. He confirmed that the police had arrested the vandals and registered a case against them. According to him, the police were prepared to apprehend anyone attempting further disturbances. Aravind urged people not to support such acts and mentioned that he would not comment further to avoid escalating matters, adding that it was crucial to let the law take its course. In connection with the protest, six individuals have been arrested.
The stampede occurred on December 4 at Hyderabad’s Sandhya Theatre during the premiere of Pushpa 2. Thousands of fans had gathered to catch a glimpse of Allu Arjun, leading to chaos. Tragically, a 35-year-old woman lost her life, and her son sustained severe injuries in the incident.
