 "Ram Gopal Varma urges stars to protest against Pushpa 2 actor Allu Arjun's arrest, compares with Sridevi incident: 'Will the Telangana Police now go to heaven to...'")
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma aka RGV known for making movies like Raat, Shiva, Rangeela, Satya, Company, Sarkar and others, has urged stars to protest against Allu Arjun’s arrest in Pushpa 2 stampede case. While the actor was initially sent to 14-day judicial custody, he was later granted interim bail for four weeks.
Taking to X, RGV tweeted, “Every STAR should STRONGLY protest against @alluarjun‘s ARREST because for any celebrity whether it’s a FILM STAR or a POLITICAL STAR , is it a crime for them to be ENORMOUSLY POPULAR???"
Comparing the incident to a similar tragedy involving late actress Sridevi, he questioned Telangana police and added, “3 people died in the lakhs of crowd who came to see SRIDEVI in the shooting of my film KSHANA KSHANAM ..So will the #TelanganaPolice now go to #HEAVEN to ARREST #sridevi ???"
At the press conference held last Saturday, the Icon star said, “We’re extremely sorry for the family and I will personally be there to support them in whatever way possible. It was purely accidental. I was inside a cinema theatre watching a film with my family and an accident happened outside. It’s purely of no direct connection to me. It’s purely accidental, purely unintentional. My love and sympathies are genuinely there with the family and I will be there to support them in whatever way possible."
He has now shared a statement on social media that reads- “I remain deeply concerned about young Sri Tej, who is under constant medical care after the unfortunate incident.”
