Hyderabad: The Bharatiya Janata Party MP Anurag Thakur on Wednesday came out in support of Pushpa 2 star Allu Arjun and suggested that some people are trying to tarnish the image of Telugu actor.
Anurg in a statement to the media said that if you look at the contribution of Telugu actors in the film industry, they have put the film and Indian cinema on the global map. But some people are trying to pull them down on the floor map.
Thakur reacted to the actions of the Telangana police against actor Allu Arjun after a stampede incident at a theatre during the premiere of his film Pushpa 2.
He also said that in the last few years Allu Arjun got the National Award in Narendra Modi’s government, Chiranjeevi got the Lifetime Achievement Award and their contribution has been appreciated by the whole country and the world.
On the other hand, look at the films, whether it is RR, Pushpa, KGF, Baahubali all of them have brought fame to Indian cinema.
“I think instead of creating controversy, efforts should be made to have a dialogue, take care of safety and not do politics,” he added.
Earlier in the day, Telangana Congress MLA Bhupathi Reddy issued a stern warning to actor Allu Arjun, threatening to prevent the release of his films in the state unless he refrains from making further comments about the Chief Minister.
On December 4, when Allu Arjun attended the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre, a massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor, and chaos ensued when he waved to fans from the sunroof of his car.
This led to the tragic death of a woman named Revathi and injuries to her child.
