Hyderabad: The film industry has come together to support Allu Arjun following his arrest in connection with the tragic stampede that occured at Sandhya Theatre earlier this month. The incident led to the death of a woman named Revathi, while her son remains hospitalised.
Several stars, including Pushpa-2 lead actress Rashmika Mandanna, Nani, Varun Dhawan, Rahul Ramakrishna, Adivi Sesh, and Sundeep Kishan have come in support of the actor.
Rashmika expressed her disbelief tweeting, “Can’t believe what I am seeing right now…. It is disheartening to see everything being blamed on a single individual.”
I can’t believe what I am seeing right now..
The incident that happened was an unfortunate and deeply saddening incident.
However, it is disheartening to see everything being blamed on a single individual. This situation is both unbelievable and heartbreaking.

Nani expressed disappointment, saying, “If the same enthusiasm shown by authorities and the media towards cinema people was applied to regular citizens, society would be better. The tragedy was heartbreaking, and we must learn from it. Everyone shares responsibility, not just one person.”

A video of Varun Dhawan addressing the incident has gone viral. He said, “Safety protocols are not something an actor can handle alone. The incident in Hyderabad is deeply painful, and my condolences go out to the victims. However, it is unfair to place the blame solely on Allu Arjun.”
Rahul Ramakrishna also defended the actor, stating, “The government often blames film celebrities to avoid accountability for issues they allowed in the first place.”
The failure of law and order is not one man’s fault or responsibility. Aren’t cinemas and theatres public spaces? Isn’t an individual allowed to visit one according to their choice? Regardless of the star’s appearance and the tragic incident, why did the police let such a huge…

Adivi Sesh expressed his disagreement about the incident, stating “What’s happening today feels extremely harsh against Allu Arjun garu.”
What happened in that theater was horrible and unfortunate. A Mother lost her life.
But what’s happening today feels extremely harsh against @alluarjun garu.
One horrible tragedy followed by this.

Sundeep Kishan questioned, “How can One Man be Held Responsible for an extremely unfortunate Crowd Event Gone Wrong.”
How can One Man be Held Responsible for an extremely unfortunate Crowd Event Gone Wrong,
