Noted Tollywood filmmaker Tammareddy Bharadwaja has criticized Allu Arjun amidst the controversy surrounding the recent stampede incident at a Pushpa 2 promotional event. Following the tragedy, the Telangana government imposed restrictions, including a ban on ticket hikes and benefit shows. Bharadwaja accused Allu Arjun of provoking an ego clash with the government, sparking mixed reactions from fans and netizens.
Interestingly, comparisons have been drawn to Pawan Kalyan’s past actions. During his political campaigns, Pawan Kalyan openly criticized the Andhra Pradesh government, leading to restrictions on ticket price hikes in the state. Back then, several Tollywood figures criticized the AP government and its policies, but none framed the issue as an ego clash, as Tammareddy has done in Allu Arjun’s case.
The controversy intensified when Allu Arjun was briefly detained and questioned by the police. Despite his arrest, the actor refrained from making inflammatory statements or blaming any individual or authority, maintaining a composed stance. Fans and netizens have questioned Bharadwaja’s comments, suggesting his remarks are biased.
The incident has ignited debates within Tollywood, and all eyes are now on how other industry personalities will respond to the ongoing controversy.
