Allu Arjun faces fresh allegations

At the Telangana assembly on Saturday, Akbaruddin claimed, “According to the information I have received, the star who went to the theatre to watch the film was informed about the issue when it happened. Even the police told him that there was a stampede and two children have fallen, one woman is dead. The film star turned to them, smiled and said, now the film will be a hit.” Revanth also alleged that Arjun visited the theatre without police permission and refused to leave till police threatened to arrest him. The CM also accused him of holding a ‘road show’ without permission outside the theatre.

The cinematography minister, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, also slammed the film while talking to the press and said, “If you think Pushpa 2 is good, watch it. I watched it too. I've decided not to watch any films other than historic or devotional or Telangana movies from now on. Because after putting off my work for 3 and a half hours and watching this film I realised all it will do is ruin the youth.”
