Ruling Congress MLA R Bhoopathi Reddy issued a stern warning to actor Allu Arjun on Tuesday, stating that the actor’s films would not be allowed to run in Telangana if he continued criticizing the state’s Chief Minister, A. Revanth Reddy. The comments come in the wake of an ongoing controversy surrounding a tragic incident during the screening of Pushpa 2,
Congress MLA WARNS Allu Arjun over comments on CM Revanth Reddy: “Will not let your films run in Telangana”
MLA Calls for Caution in Criticizing CM Revanth Reddy
R Bhoopathi Reddy, the MLA from Nizamabad (Rural), made it clear that Congress would not tolerate any criticism directed at the Telangana Chief Minister. “If you (Allu Arjun) talk about our Chief Minister, be cautious. You are from Andhra. You came here to live,” Reddy said.
Reddy further added, “What is your contribution to Telangana? We are issuing a 100 percent warning.” He also warned Allu Arjun about the actions of some members of the Osmania University Joint Action Committee, who had allegedly taken matters into their own hands at the actor’s residence. “If you don’t mend your ways, we will not let your films run in Telangana,” Reddy threatened.
The Pushpa 2 Controversy and its Aftermath
The controversy escalated after a tragic incident on December 4, during the screening of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theater in Hyderabad. A 35-year-old woman died in a stampede, and her eight-year-old son was injured. Following the incident, the police filed a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theater management based on a complaint from the woman’s family.
The incident also attracted the attention of CM Revanth Reddy, who criticized Allu Arjun for holding a roadshow and waving to the crowds during the screening, which reportedly led to the stampede. Hours later, Allu Arjun refuted the allegations, clarifying that he was not involved in a procession or roadshow and that the incident was an accident. “It was a pure accident,” he said, further asserting that he was not against any department, political leader, or government.
The Legal Situation
Following the tragic incident, the city police arrested Allu Arjun on December 13 in connection with the woman’s death, naming him as accused No 11. However, the Telangana High Court granted him a four-week interim bail on the same day, and he was released from prison on December 14.
Despite his release, the actor’s comments have continued to spark political tension, leading to R Bhoopathi Reddy’s warning. The Congress MLA also dismissed Pushpa as a film that does not benefit society, labeling it as the story of a smuggler rather than a socially responsible narrative.
Allu Arjun has not yet publicly responded to the threat from MLA R Bhoopathi Reddy.
