As per reports, the Congress MLC demanded action against the film’s director, Sukumar, actor Allu Arjun, and producers. He urged authorities to take strict measures to address an offensive portrayal of the police.
The fresh complaint came when the Pushpa actor Allu Arjun remained embroiled in another controversy that sparked following an incident on December 4. That day, Allu Arjun attended the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at the Sandhya Theatre. A massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor, and chaos ensued when he waved to fans from the sunroof of his car. This led to a stampede and the tragic death of a woman named Revathi and critical injuries to her child.
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy blamed Allu Arjun for the tragedy, saying in the Assembly that police had denied permission for any event at Sandhya Theatre due to safety concerns.
After the incident, Allu Arjun was arrested and later released on bail after furnishing a ₹50,000 bond. The actor dismissed misconduct allegations, describing them as an attempt at “character assassination.”
Hyderabad police reportedly notified Arjun, asking him to appear before them in connection with the Sandhya theatre incident that occurred during the premiere of Pushpa 2 on December 4, sources said on Monday.
According to sources, Allu Arjun has been asked to appear before the Chikkadpalli police on Tuesday at 11 am in connection with the incident.
