Tollywood actor Allu Arjun has faced criticism for his response to a stampede that occurred during the premiere of his film Pushpa 2: The Rule, where two children and a woman lost their lives. AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi accused the actor of insensitivity, saying he continued watching the movie despite being informed about the tragedy.
Owaisi alleged that Arjun smiled and said the film would be a hit after learning about the stampede, showing no concern for the victims. The AIMIM leader expressed disappointment, questioning where Arjun’s humanity was during such a tragic incident.
This has sparked debate over crowd management at high-profile events and the responsibilities of public figures in such situations. Owaisi, who conducts large political rallies with thousands of attendees, emphasized his efforts to ensure safety, contrasting with Arjun’s response.
