Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan weighed in on Tollywood actor Allu Arjun's recent arrest, highlighting that the law does not extend preferential treatment to anyone, irrespective of their popularity or power. The arrest followed a tragic incident at a theatre in Hyderabad where a stampede led to a woman's death and injured her son.

Kalyan expressed disappointment over the failure of the 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' filmmakers to promptly offer condolences to the bereaved family. He suggested this oversight contributed to the situation escalating unnecessarily. Kalyan, who is closely related to Allu Arjun, emphasized the need for the cinema team to tackle issues collectively, not leaving the actor to face the blame alone.

With Kalyan noting Telangana's Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's support for the film industry, he acknowledged that Reddy had no choice but to take a tough stance. This incident, Kalyan argued, exemplified the necessity of adhering to legal processes without attempting to manipulate the outcome based on personal influence or political position.
