Pawan Kalyan Reacts to Allu Arjun’s Arrest in Sandhya Theatre Stampede Case
Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan Criticizes Handling of Incident; Calls for Empathy Towards Victims’ Families
Hyderabad, Telangana: The tragic death of a 39-year-old woman, Revathi, during a stampede at Sandhya Theatre on December 4 has sparked a flurry of reactions across Andhra Pradesh. Actor and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan weighed in on the controversy surrounding actor Allu Arjun, who faces criticism for his perceived inaction following the incident.
Revathi, a devoted fan, lost her life in the unfortunate stampede during a screening of the much-anticipated movie Pushpa 2. Her 8-year-old son remains hospitalized in Hyderabad, battling injuries sustained in the chaos.
Reacting to the incident, Pawan Kalyan expressed sorrow over Revathi’s untimely demise and highlighted the need for responsible actions by public figures in such situations. “The incident could have been managed with more sensitivity,” Pawan Kalyan remarked. “If someone from Allu Arjun’s side had gone to meet the victims’ families, the narrative might have been different.”
Pawan Kalyan’s Critique
In his statement, Pawan Kalyan elaborated on how incidents like these tarnish the relationship between fans and their idols. “The death of Revathi in this incident has deeply shaken me. When tragedies like this occur, fans often expect acknowledgment or assurance from their favorite stars,” he noted.
Pawan Kalyan also addressed the broader implications of such incidents, emphasizing that law and order apply equally to everyone. “Amidst the enthusiastic screams of fans, Arjun may not have fully grasped the gravity of the situation. However, a simple gesture like visiting Revathi’s house or offering condolences could have helped ease the public outrage.”
The Role of the Team
Highlighting the collective responsibility of the film’s cast and crew, Pawan Kalyan pointed out, “A film is a team effort, and everyone should take part in addressing such crises. While Allu Arjun has been singled out as the culprit, the entire team must stand together to resolve such issues.”
Revanth Reddy’s Involvement
Pawan Kalyan also touched upon the political undertones surrounding the incident. Referring to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, he clarified that criticism of the CM in this context is unwarranted. “Revanth Reddy is a leader beyond these allegations. Decisions like ticket price hikes for Pushpa 2 were administrative and unrelated to this tragedy.”
Call for Responsibility
Pawan Kalyan concluded by urging both the film industry and authorities to take proactive steps in ensuring safety and addressing public grievances. “This is a lesson for all of us. Celebrities have a responsibility towards their fans, and timely actions can prevent further anguish.”
As investigations into the Sandhya Theatre stampede continue, the incident remains a somber reminder of the need for careful crowd management and empathetic leadership.
