Opinion: Reel gets Real - Pushpa Allu Arjun's stand-off with Hyderabad police goes from bad to worse
India TodayEven though Allu Arjun was granted interim bail by the Telangana High Court on December 13 and ordered to be released from judicial custody that he had been sent an hour before by a lower court, he had to spend the night inside Chanchalguda central prison in Hyderabad due to technical reasons. Hyderabad police officers wondered why no one was instead talking about 35-year-old Revathi, the mother of two young children, who suffocated to death at Sandhya theatre on the evening of December 4 where Allu Arjun's presence whipped the crowd of fans into a state of crazy frenzy. Initially, Team Arjun went to town brandishing the letter given by the Sandhya theatre informing the local police two days before the event that the personalities associated with Pushpa 2 would visit the cinema hall on December 4. The question therefore arises whether the Sandhya theatre management conveyed the refusal by the police to the Pushpa 2 production team.
