'Pushpa 2': Allu Arjun accused of disrespecting police; complaint filed
Allu Arjun, the star of the blockbuster Pushpa 2, is mired in legal troubles despite his professional success. Now, a Congress leader has filed a complaint against the actor for allegedly showing disrespect toward police in the movie. The latest accusation comes on top of Arjun's previous legal troubles related to a stampede at the film's premiere which resulted in a woman's death and his arrest.
Complaint details: Issue is with this scene in 'Pushpa 2'
Congress leader Theenmar Mallanna filed a complaint against Arjun, director Sukumar, and the producers of Pushpa 2. Mallanna's allegations are based on a scene in the film where Arjun's character urinates in a swimming pool in the presence of a police officer. He called the scene "disrespectful," adding it undermined the dignity of law enforcement officers.
Mallanna demanded strict action against 'Pushpa 2' team
Mallanna has demanded strict action against the makers and Arjun for this "offensive portrayal" of the police. This fresh complaint only adds to Arjun's legal woes from a tragic incident at the Pushpa 2 premiere. A woman died and her son was critically injured in a stampede triggered by a rowdy crowd. Things got so out of hand that Arjun was arrested on December 13, 2024.
Arjun's interim bail and public protests
After his arrest, Arjun was sent to 14-day judicial custody but was later granted interim bail for four weeks on a personal bond of ₹50,000. Amid these legal troubles, protesters on Sunday stormed Arjun's Hyderabad residence demanding justice. They vandalized the property and raised a ruckus. Six accused were nabbed, who were later released on bail.
