On one hand while the Manchu family fighting episode was going on, on the other hand, the arrest of National Award winner and icon star Allu Arjun on the spot shocked everyone. In the wake of the incident where a woman died in a stampede near Sandhya Theater during the Pushpa-2 premiere, Allu Arjun was arrested by the Chikkadpally police in a hurry after registering cases under Sections 109 and 118 (1).
Even though he said he would change his clothes, the fact that the police went all the way to the bedroom and detained him is drawing widespread criticism. However the fact that Allu Arjun was finally granted bail in this episode reminded us of the twist in Pushpa movies.
But the arrest of Allu Arjun in such a hurry, that too on a Friday afternoon and registering cases under sections that do not apply at all, without waiting until the verdict on the petition filed in the High Court remanding hurriedly and sending him to Chanchalguda jail doubts are arising in the minds of the average fan whether the government has shown special interest in this case?
In this context, since the formation of the Revanth Reddy government, actions against Tollywood celebrities have not been received well. Very frequently the Revanth Reddy government actions turned unpopular. Some people recall that the “Tollywood vs. Revanth Reddy Sarkar” debate started with the demolition of Akkineni Nagarjuna’s N Convention.
However, since it was a long-running controversy and there were allegations of encroachment, none of the film celebrities responded. It is noteworthy that both the government and the Hydra got good mileage with this incident.
But, later unsolicited comments made by Minister Konda Surekha once again turned into “Tollywood vs. Revanth Sarkar” and created a huge uproar. Her harsh criticism of KTR has hurt the Akkineni family. As a result, not only were defamation cases filed against her, but the Revanth Reddy government also suffered severe damage.
The entire Telugu film industry came together in this incident and strongly condemned the minister’s comments. They strongly demanded that the government take strict action against the minister. However, the government did not respond at all. The Chief Minister maintained complete silence.
Revanth Reddy’s sudden and unilateral decision to change Nandi Awards name as Gaddar Awards also not received well by the film fraternity. CM Revanth Reddy himself expressed his impatience and dissatisfaction that no one from the Tollywood industry responded.
On the other hand, to create awareness about drug prohibition CM Revanth Reddy called for the release of a 2-minute video with the actors of that movie at the time of the release of each movie. As per this call while top stars like NTR and Chiranjeevi released videos. Later, it was completely changed.
Revanth Reddy also gave a strong warning on this matter. With this, Allu Arjun released a video on the occasion of the release of the movie Pushpa-2. Revanth Reddy responded to it and praised it on Twitter.
