Rashmika Mandanna on Allu Arjun’s arrest
Rashmika wrote a note on her Instagram stories about Arjun’s arrest, expressing her disbelief at everything that transpired since Friday morning. She wrote, “I can’t believe what I am seeing right now. The incident that happened was an unfortunate and deeply saddening incident. However, it is disheartening to see everything being blamed on a single individual. This situation is both unbelievable and heartbreaking.”
Actor Nani had also supported Arjun, stating that one person cannot be held responsible for the death and writing on X (formerly Twitter), “That was an unfortunate incident and it was heart breaking. We should all learn from the disaster and be lot more careful here after and introduce measures to make sure this doesn’t happen again. We are all at fault here. One person is not responsible for this.”
Nithiin also posted on X in Arjun’s support, writing that we need to focus on preventing such incidents in the future instead of finding fault, “It’s heartbreaking to witness such tragedies. I believe we must reflect on how to prevent them in the future. This isn’t about finding fault but about learning, growing, and taking collective responsibility to ensure a safer and better tomorrow.”

Love You Allu Arjun Anna.”
What happened
On December 4, Arjun visited Sandhya Theatre with Rashmika and his wife, Allu Sneha Reddy, for the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule. His visit caused hundreds of fans arriving at the theatre, which resulted in a stampede-like situation that got out of hand. It led to the death of a woman and hospitalisation of her son. The police have since filed an FIR against Arjun and the theatre's management, arresting them. On Friday, the Telangana High Court granted Arjun a 4-week interim bail after the Nampally Court sent him to a 14-day judicial remand.
