RGV calls Allu Arjun's arrest a ''Big Publicity Boost' by State Government to increase Pushpa 2's collection - World News Network

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], December 14 (ANI): The aftermath of the Sandhya Theatre incident in Hyderabad during the premiere of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule has become the talk of the town. The incident involved the arrest of actor Allu Arjun, followed by his release on bail, amidst an outpouring of support from his fans and other stars.
While many were shocked by Allu Arjun’s unexpected arrest on Friday morning, renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma speculated that the move was orchestrated to provide a “big publicity boost” to the actor and drive the second-week box office collections of Pushpa 2.
Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, RGV wrote:
“Regarding everybody’s SURPRISE SHOCK about why the Honourable Chief Minister of TELANGANA @revanth_anumala did this to @alluarjun, I think it is because he wanted to give a BIG PUBLICITY BOOST to the Telangana state’s FAVOURITE SON for a HUGE RISE in #Pushpa2 ‘s week 2 ‘s collections.”
He went on to describe the state’s prosecution as “deliberately weak” to enhance Allu Arjun’s popularity and box office hold.
“This explains why the STATE did such a deliberately weak PROSECUTION so that he could be BAILED OUT in a few hours and become even more MEGA POPULAR to RULE the BOX OFFICE for a LOOONG LOOOOONGGG TIME.”
Expressing gratitude towards Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, RGV further wrote:
“Thank you shri @revanth_anumula garu, for holding the TELANGANA STATE’S PRIDE as SUPER HIGH as #Pushpa2 ‘s SUPER COLLECTIONS.”
