During the pre-release event of Thandel, producer Allu Aravind made a remark about Dil Raju’s highs and lows in the same week, which unexpectedly hurt Mega fans. The comment sparked controversy, leading to backlash from fans of Ram Charan.
Allu Aravind Clears the Air
In a recent press meet, Allu Aravind clarified his statement, explaining that his intention was only to highlight Dil Raju’s recent experiences and not to offend Ram Charan or his film, Game Changer. He emphasized that Charan is like a son to him and that they share a strong bond. Apologizing to the Mega fans who felt hurt, he reassured them that there was no ill intent behind his words. With this clarification, tensions between the Allu and Mega camps are expected to settle down.
Thandel Producers Take Legal Action Against Piracy
Along with Bunny Vas, Allu Aravind also addressed the piracy issues surrounding Thandel. Bunny Vas expressed disappointment that the film was illegally being screened on RTC buses and warned that strict legal action would be taken against those responsible.
He further stated that once a criminal case is filed, even the complainants would not be able to revoke it, urging everyone to be cautious before engaging in piracy-related crimes. The producers also revealed plans to escalate the issue to Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister, Pawan Kalyan, seeking stronger enforcement against piracy.
With both issues addressed, Thandel continues its successful run, while fans and industry insiders await further developments.
