After the tragic stampede at the premiere of his movie Pushpa 2, Telugu film industry superstar Allu Arjun was arrested and taken in for questioning. While his father and brother accompanied him, top Tollywood figures and political leaders came out to show their support. However, the government's decision to arrest Allu Arjun for a tragedy he was not directly responsible for sparked controversy and criticism from leaders across parties.
The highly anticipated release of Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, is facing a roadblock in Bengaluru. The district collector has put a halt to the film's midnight screenings, much to the disappointment of fans. The decision was influenced by a petition filed by the Kannada Film Producers Association opposing the midnight shows, citing a tradition of not releasing films before 6 am. While the ban has disappointed Bengaluru fans, other states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are still able to enjoy extra screenings of the film with a ticket price hike. However, fans can look forward to the promised third installment, Pushpa 3: The Rampage, which is already in the works.
