Opinion: Allu Arjun on target, 'Pushpa fire nahi, wildfire' blaze gets bigger
India TodayThe genesis of the cinematic conflict in Pushpa 2 is the refusal of the chief minister to pose for a photograph with Pushparaj, played by Allu Arjun, because it would not be good for the former's image. In a rather strange coincidence, the case filed by the Hyderabad police after the tragic death of cinegoer Revathi in a stampede at Sandhya theatre in Hyderabad on December 4, is playing out in the public mindspace as a Revanth Reddy vs Allu Arjun standoff. The chief minister seemed cut up by the optics of bigwigs of the industry making a beeline for Arjun's residence after he was released on interim bail. What the Chief Minister's sharp attack on the actor did was to spur a few loose cannons to take the law into their own hands and vandalise the front portion of Arjun's home.
