Reacting to the arrest of actor Allu Arjun over the death of a woman at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Daggubati Purandeshwari said on Friday that it was unfortunate that someone lost her life during the release of his film.
She further expressed hope that the law would take its course. "It's very unfortunate that someone lost her life in the stampede during the release of his film 'Pushpa'... He has been arrested and bail has also been granted, but the law will take its own course," said BJP MP Daggubati Purandeshwari. Meanwhile, producer Ashok Pandit voiced his support for 'Pushpa' star Allu Arjun, who was arrested by Hyderabad police on Friday morning in connection with the Sandhya Theatre incident on 4 December. The producer appealed to the Andhra Pradesh government to withdraw the case, calling Allu Arjun an "icon" who deserves respect. In conversation with ANI, Ashok Pandit said, "Blaming Allu Arjun for the incident is wrong. The situation was not created by the actor. He is a film actor who visits theatres to promote films and observe audience reactions. Every actor and technician wishes to see how people respond to their work. Unfortunately, this incident occurred, but Allu Arjun cannot be held responsible." On 4 December, Allu Arjun and the 'Pushpa 2' team visited Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad for a screening. Large crowds had gathered to catch a glimpse of the star. A 35-year-old woman died, and her son was hospitalised. On Friday morning, Chikkadpally police arrested Allu Arjun at his residence and took him to the Chikkadpally Police Station for questioning. In addition, three other individuals connected with the incident were apprehended. The police registered a case citing improper crowd management as the cause of the tragedy. Later on Friday, the Telangana High Court granted interim bail to Allu Arjun, hours after he had been remanded to 14-day judicial custody by a lower court in connection with the woman's death at Sandhya Theatre.
