In a recent development, Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan addressed the press regarding the arrest of Telugu actor Allu Arjun following a tragic incident at a movie promotional event. Dhawan asserted that actors are not responsible for safety protocols, emphasizing the collective responsibility of event organizers.

The incident in question occurred on December 4, when an unfortunate tragedy unfolded at the Sandhya theatre in Hyderabad. An overwhelming crowd gathered to see Arjun, resulting in the death of a 35-year-old woman. Her young son was also hospitalized due to injuries sustained during the commotion.
