Among the supporters were Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Bharat Rashtra Samithi, working president KTR, and actors Rashmika Mandanna and Varun Dhawan. Ashwini Vaishnaw, in a post, said,"Congress has no respect for the creative industry and the arrest of Allu Arjun proves it yet again."

Congress has no respect for the creative industry and the arrest of Allu Arjun proves it yet again.

The mishap at Sandhya Theatre was a clear case of poor arrangements by the state and local administration. Now, to deflect that blame, they are indulging in such publicity…

But,Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy defended the police action regarding the arrest of Telugu actor Allu Arjun on Friday, stating they were doing their job. Arjun was arrested in connection with the December 4 stampede at Hyderabad's iconic Sandhya theatre which left a 39-year-old woman dead and her minor son seriously injured.Speaking at  a programme in New Delhi, Reddy said,"A poor family lost a member, the woman's son is still in hospital and in a coma. When he does come out of a coma, he will have to live a life without his mother."  “Allu Arjun didn’t simply watch the film and leave. He came out from the car’s sunroof, cheering and greeting fans who were celebrating his movie’s release. This caused the situation to get out of control,” he said.
